Hello friends!
It’s time for another Scenic Saturday here on the Blogabella and I couldn’t wait to color up another new stamp from the Spring release. Oddball Baby on the Way is such a cheeky way to celebrate the arrival of a little one so I couldn’t wait to get her on a card.
A crafty friend recently suggested that the postage stamp dies, when cut apart, would make for cute frames hanging on a wall and I thought that would be a sweet way to decorate a nursery for Oddball Baby on the Way. I stamped her off to the left side of the card front and colored in a simple wood floor beneath her feet and a soft yellow wall behind her. This left me with just enough room for a couple of framed ‘art prints’ that I created using the bees from the retired Little Bits Critters set. The colors match back to the floral print dress that our quirky mom-to-be is wearing. The sentiment is part of the new Baby Sentiment set and I capped off the entire scene with a small heart speech bubble die to show the love that mom already has for her baby. 🙂
Enjoy the new release and stay crafty my friends!

We might have a NEW RELEASE just out, but we still love all of our older stamps too! This week the Babes have created some new magic with older but still amazing stamps from our collection. I love seeing which stamps they choose to work with.
If any of the stamps in today’s post catches your eye, don’t forget that our entire website has been repriced with LOWER prices, so you can stretch that stamp budget a little further.
We also still have a few stamps left in our Retirement Sale – so if there’s something you need for your Stamping Bella collection, grab it now!
Let’s get to the inspiration!
Firstly, Happy Valentine’s Day!
Such a sweet card from Michele. Here at Stamping Bella we firmly believe in celebrating love all year round, not just on Valentine’s Day.
Steph also has us feeling the love, with this lovely card featuring one of our Kristin Farnsworth Collection stamps. Love that sentiment.
Jenny has gone for an Easter theme, with one of our adorable Bundle Girl stamps. Love those bright and fresh spring colours.
Ginger is adding to her birthday card stash with this fantastic card featuring one of our Oddball stamps. Love it!
Sandie created this sweet card featuring one of our Little Cuties stamps.
Debra gave our Oddball Snow Queen a different vibe in green. She almost looks like a forest queen!
That’s it for today! Hopefully you’re feeling inspired to go and create. Don’t forget to leave us a comment below with some love for our Babes and all their hard work.
MWAH!

Hi all,
Today I’m sharing a couple of cards featuring the new Spec-tacular stamps by Amy Glatiotis, which have just been released. These Spec-tacular pairs are super cute and such fun to work with, and can be used for all occasions.
The first card features Spec-tacular Avocado and Toast and the new Spec-tacular sentiment set. I am not a fan of avocado toast but I love this cute pair and the sentiment is just perfect with it.
My second card features Spec-tacular Cheese and Crackers and the new Spec-tacular sentiment set. Another cute and versatile stamp that could even be a Valentine’s Card or a Birthday card for your significant other?!
Both of these stamps, plus so much more are now available over on the store. Check out the WHAT’S NEW section to see all of the February release stamps.

If you missed our first day of peeks, make sure you check out THIS POST, as you will not want to miss the other news I shared!
Before I get to the peeks today, I omitted some other important and happy news from yesterday’s post. We are now shipping to the EU again, as of the release on Wednesday 12th February.
Also, some fun news! For release day tomorrow, our wonderful Amybella (Amy Young) will be colouring one of our new release stamps LIVE on her Facebook page Adventures in Colouring with Amy. You can join her over there to watch live from 11AM PST (2PM EST), if you can’t make it you will be able to watch the replay.
Let’s check out the rest of the new stamping fun we have to share today!
We have three adorable new Spring themed BUNDLE GIRL STAMPS for you! As you will see from the DT sample cards, these sweet stamps pair wonderfully with our EASTER SENTIMENT SET.
Firstly we have the absolutely delightful Bundle Girls in the Easter Basket.
Next we have the super snuggly Bundle Girl loves Bunny Wobbles. This one is also going to be great for year round use to send hugs whenever they are needed!
Bundle Girl with a Carrot is just the cutest stamp for Spring.
We have some brilliant new stamps from the AMY GLATIOTIS COLLECTION! These new Spec-Tacular pairs are a fantastic way to send your appreciation to friends and loved ones, especially used together with our original SPEC-TACULAR SENTIMENT SET and the new SPEC-TACULAR TOGETHER SENTIMENT SET Let’s take a look!
Spec-Tacular Avocado & Toast
Watch me colour this stamp in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
Spec-Tacular Cheese & Crackers
Spec-Tacular Chips & Dip
Spec-Tacular Earth & Moon
Spec-Tacular Iced Tea & Lemonade
Spec-Tacular Letter & Pencil
Spec-Tacular Strawberries & Cream
Spec-Tacular Taco & Avocado
Finally we have the new Window Stamp. We have taken our retired Winter Window stamp set and removed the scene from the window, to give you a great scene building stamp. Use masking techniques to stamp whatever you like in the window – one of our BACKDROP STAMPS, or some of our characters and critters. Colour your own scenes in the window, create an indoor scene around it.
Here are some ideas for you!
That’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s previews. Let us know what you will be adding to your Stamping Bella shopping list in the comments below, and please do leave the Babes some love for all of their amazing creations.
See you tomorrow for RELEASE DAY!
MWAH!

I have two pieces of exciting news to share with you today!
Firstly, we have a new release on the way! Our Spring 2025 Release is amazing, with 22 new image stamps and 2 new sentiment sets to go with them. Some of your favourites are making an appearance, along with some brand new characters that I think you are going to fall in love with (we all certainly have).
Before I share more on the new release, though, I have some news that I think will make many of you very happy.
If you have been part of our stamping sistahood for a while, you may remember that back in 2021 Emily was forced to increase our prices due to dramatic increases to manufacturing costs. This wasn’t something she, or any of us, enjoyed. Then at the end of 2022 we lost Emily, and have had even more challenges to overcome in the past year with the closure of our original manufacturer/distributor. We are so grateful for the loyal support we have received during all of the ups and downs of the past few years. This crafting community and industry is truly one of the very best.
Recently we have been working hard on figuring out ways to reduce our prices, while still being able to keep the lights on, so to speak! I am so happy to tell you that we have finally been able to do that. It isn’t often that prices go down, but we really wanted to improve our pricing as much as we could, to keep stamping and crafting as affordable as possible. Our previous manufacturing, shipping and admin was all subcontracted, which became very expensive. After a challenging four months, we are now settled in our new location, where we are now able to do some of the manufacturing, and all of the packaging and shipping ourselves. This has reduced our costs and we feel it is only right that you share in those savings.
Please be assured that there have been no changes to the quality and presentation of our stamps. You will still receive the same beautiful blue cling mounted rubber.
Last year was incredibly stressful and we had a number of challenges, but we are confident moving forward in 2025 and looking forward to what’s to come!
As of now, our website reflects the new lower pricing on our entire collection of stamps, which you will be able to enjoy when we open again on Wednesday 12th February.
Again, our heartfelt thanks to all who have ordered from us, or purchased our stamps from one of our retailers over the past few years. Without you we wouldn’t be here.
With all that said, let’s get into the real fun! Checking out the new Spring 2025 release. Our Babes have been working their stamping magic, and we have some incredible inspiration featuring the new stamps. Today is the first of two days of peeks before release day on Wednesday 12th February!
Firstly we have two new SENTIMENT SETS. These will coordinate beautifully with many of the new stamps, and lots of our older ones too.
We have the Baby Sentiment Set with 8 sentiment stamps for all those baby themed cards and projects. Plus the new Spec-Tacular Together Sentiment Set with 7 sentiment stamps, which will work perfectly with our existing Spec-Tacular stamps and some really fun new ones we will be introducing tomorrow!
You will see these sentiments throughout the sneak peeks today and tomorrow.
Next up we have a gorgeous new BACKDROP STAMP. Presenting our Spring Backdrop which is going to provide the perfect setting for so many of our characters and critters, or just create stunning cards all on its own.
You will see this one on some of the samples throughout today and tomorrow’s peeks, used both in its entirety and just elements from it, showing just how versatile our Backdrop stamps can be.
Watch me colour this stamp in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
We have added to our BABY BABY stamp collection with some adorable new little ones. Perfect for all of your baby themed paper-craft projects and cards.
Our Baby Boy & Girl rubber stamp set is a set of two adorable new baby stamps. So cute, and the Babes have created some wonderful cards featuring them.
Then we have the Cabbage Patch Boy & Girl stamp set, a set of two rubber stamps depicting adorable babies nestled among the cabbage leaves.
Then we have the lovely Delivery from the Stork rubber stamp, which just gives me really nostalgic vibes. Such a sweet image.
We also have a couple of amazing new ODDBALL STAMPS in the release!
Firstly we have the Oddball Baby on the Way rubber stamp – representing all the frazzled expectant and new mothers out there!
Then we have our Oddball Girl Power rubber stamp!
Finally for today, we have something completely new! We hope you love them as much as we do…
Our new Whimsabella stamp line features charming whimsical characters with long eyelashes. We’re starting off with four enchanting fairy stamps, and as you will see, they make for amazing cards!
First up we have our Whimsabella DaisyDream rubber stamp.
Next we have the sweet Whimsabella FlitterFly rubber stamp.
Our third is the Whimsabella GlimmerGlade rubber stamp.
Last but by no means least, we have the lovely Whimsabella PetalShimmer rubber stamp.
That’s it for today! We hope that you are as delighted by all of our news as we are. Let us know what you will be adding to your Stamping Bella shopping list in the comments below, and please do leave the Babes some love for all of their amazing creations.
Join me again tomorrow for more sneak peeks ahead of release day on Wednesday 12th February.
