Hiya sistahs! Well today is our first “SNEAK PEEK” day! (it should be come a Bellarific HOLIDAY no?).. and I can already tell where this day is headed as I wrote my first post and LOST ALL CONTENT… grrrrrrrrr…. So here I go again 🙂
In case you are new here, and don’t know DA BELLA very well, you will learn that each release, and each image means something to me… whether it is a saying that I currently say.. whether it is an image of a memory of mine.. something that I love.. something that I want to look at every day.. etc. This company.. these relationships I have forged for over 10 years and the memories that I make every single day is what inspires me. Who else inspires me? CHRYSTAL, my artist who has been with me for the last 7 ‘ish years. She is my inspiration. She is “MY HANDS” (that so doesn’t sound right grammatically LOL).. but really when we talk about images, she draws what I think! Who else can say they can do that LOL. She understands me.. she “gets” me. She is alongside me on this Stamping Bella adventure. We’ve gone through pregnancies together.. through scares together through good times and bad times. She has always been there for me and for that I am SO GRATEFUL!! I love you Chrystal!! Chrystal is so talented in everything she touches! You have to check out the AMAZING jewellery she makes.. not only can she draw but she can do ANYTHING!
When I was younger, I did go through some hardships.. my parents divorced on my 12th birthday (don’t get me started LOL).. I started high school that same year (yes in Montreal, high school starts in grade 7!).. I moved homes… and I had to deal with this as an only child. Not EASY. I was lucky as I had a very vivid imagination which allowed me to deal with whatever came my way. I also had my “STUFFIES”.. yes. A bed FULL of stuffies. These stuffies were my “friends”.. were always there for me and were just so well worn and loved. After so many years of THINKING about this collection, and finally after being able to talk about these memories to Chrystal, we were able to collaborate and come out with the CUTEST (if I do say so myself LOL) Stuffie line every to be created by man or woman kind (what would an EMILY post be without SOME sort of DRAMA lol).
So without further dramatic BLABLA, please meet a couple of new characters from my STUFFIE line. k? Ready?
Meet HARRY the STUFFIE loves HAPPY MAIL… Ummmm I mean the pointy “faux hawk” hairs in the middle of his head? his pudginess? his willingness and need to make you happy? That’s MY HARRY!
Here are some samples using HARRY
AliceWERTZabella’s card
Here’ s KERRIBELLA’s card
and here’s ANGELABELLA’s card using HARRY
And now PLEASE meet PEACHES the STUFFIE. She wanted to make sure I told you NOT to confuse her with PETUNIA… Petunia has a completely different personality from her and she wanted us to be CLEAR on that 😉 .
Meet PEACHES.. sometimes things may not work out in your favor.. they just aren’t “meant to be”.. I really believe in that and I think Peaches says it perfectly 🙂
Here is TRACYMACAbella’s card using Peaches 🙂
I really hope you love these two as much as I do 🙂 .. there’s LOTS more to come and you will be able to purchase these on NOVEMBER 2nd! WOOHOO!
WANNA chance to WIN THESE TWO???
Leave a comment below.. tell me about your favorite stuffie.. or if you had one.. or just say hi 🙂 no pressure!
MWAH
Em
Emily, I am 56 years old and I still have a bedroom full
of stuffies. I know just how you feel!
Thank GOD I am not alone 🙂
Two excellent images! Some things are just not meant to be made me burst out laughing. Love them!
love the new stuffies line! i think we all had favorites growing up…. mine was a cute little doggie…. went everywhere with me!
I love both of these stamps, especially that bear he is a must have!!! so adorable!
Amazing start of the new release! Love everything about Harry! And poor Peaches… I understand her very well, that kind of things that shoudn’t happen offen happens to me too!
I have my Boyd’s Bears all over my house! Love these sweet new stamps!
These are so cute I just love them both… What great additions.
I didn’t have a stuffie. But my daughter does. Her stuffie is a colorful cat with extremely long flimsy legs. All the better to hug her with… Kitty never leaves her side.. mealtime, playtime, bath time (sits on a stool waiting for her), and bedtime. When Kitty needs a bath, she sits on a step stool in front of the washer and dryer… to ensure Kitty’s safety.
I had a favorite doll, does that count? Her name was violet and she had purple hair. Love the new images!
I wouldn’t let my 28 son throw out his ‘dada’ bear when he moved out. The bear is in his Detroit apartment now. and the bear is in pretty good shape too.
These are such cuties! xxx
I think your images are adorable….all of them. I have to say, Peaches is pretty cute….that expression on her face….says so many things.
Oh my, here we go again…. I see a long list of I have to have that in my near future. These are so stinkin’ cute!
I just love the ice cream on the piggy’s head.
Happy mail is great, I collect bears on road trips and now my grands love to hug them in the car when we go places
These images are so stinkin’ cute!!! I am so glad that I am not the only person in her 40 something that still have stuffies!! I collect Eeyore. I have him all over my house!!
You have done it again!! I don’t know from where you get all these sweet ideas. But sweet are they – and of cause I have got to own them 🙂
I still have my stuffie – he is as old as I am (36 – scccchhh, don’t tell anyone!!). I love him to the moon and back! My kids are very interested in him but he is mine, and a bit worn. So he is not in the best shape anymore 🙁
I am sooo feeling peaches. Both images are way too cute!
Hi Em! Love hearing your backstories and how they influence your creations. Wow did you turn your sad 12th birthday into a happy memory with your adorable Harry! Good for you! My favorite stuffie as a child was a big, soft collie. I can remember it was just the right shape and size to cuddle up on the floor and watch tv. Thanks for sparking such a great recollection!! Oh!! I followed the link to Chrystal’s jewelry…gorgeous! Everyone should go look right now!
I love these two new stamps! I like the feel of a real card in my hands–not an email. That may be part of the reason I love making cards. Keep up the excellent work!!!
I had/have a favorite stuffie. His name is Brummer. He took care of me until I went to college. He is a German Bear. I always believed he was real and if you look as him now you can tell he is becoming more real every day. I got him in 1946. I still love him. I really love your Happy Mail Harry.
I was a brat (child of a military member) and we moved every six months until I was in the 6th grade when we moved to Naples, Italy. We traveled light so no stuffies, sadly. But, I had the library!
I love stuffies! Especially bears. I really like this new line!
My favorite stuffie is a Bunny by the Bay rabbit called Wisteria. She is dressed in my favorite color — purple. She is quiet and shy like me. And she gives great advice. 🙂
Both of these are SO stinkin ADORABLE, your critter stamps are my favorite!!!
Big hugs Em!
These are super cute!
Xx oo
Love them both but especially love Harry. With all the technology in the world today personal mail is no longer or very little … maybe your stamp will get people to start sending mail again. I know I love getting mail especially if it isn’t a bill. LOL Well done!
Oh I always had tons of stuffed animals!!! My favorite was a Pound Puppy I named K.B. for Killer Beauford!!!! My daughter has tons of stuffed animals too but her favorite is her pig stuffed animal she named Wilbur. I posted a picture of him to your Facebook post.
How adorable! I just love these cute stamps. Harry is my favorite, or maybe peaches 🙂
Aww I love these cute stuffles!!
Aww, these two are so cute. Such sweet samples too.
I love sending “happy mail”! What s cute image. And I’m so in love with Peaches! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!!!!
My favorite stuffie was a big, brown bear named Brownie. I still have him, although he’s not as fluffy as he used to be. 🙂
My stuffie is Lambikin. I got him when I was four (49 years ago!) and STILL have him. He looks a LOT worse for the wear, but he is well loved.
I think both stamps are adorable, but you need to add some lambs. Just sayin’. lol
Love them stuffies!
My favorite is Harry! And yes, I had lots of stuffies as a child and I still have a few now!
I am 39 years old and I still have all my stuffies.. But they are in Bosnia and Hercegovina because I live in Sweden now.My books moved with me .. Tons of books.. Thanks for the amazing release again and thanks for the chance to win.
I have some classic Bellas in my collection and my attention was taken to another craft for awhile, but I’m back and I love the new Stamping Bella (new to me) selections. I love, love Peaches! I don’t know how many times i have wanted a sentiment like this, but not so serious and this is perfect!! She will have to be a part of my collection very soon!
thank you Stamping Bella!
I am way, way older than 50 but still have stuffie flamingos. Adore Peaches..
Omy…How can you choose…Both are just adorable!
I love cute, and these are cute!
OMg so frickin adorable!
Love your extra personal connection to this line and thank you for sharing!
These are both sooooo cute!
Oh my…I knew it would be cute but this is too much…I’m grinning all over my face because of Peaches’ look…my all time favorite stuffie is a cow named “Muh-die-Kuh” what means just “Moo-the-Cow”…she still lives on my bed and that since 25 years now…
These are so cute! My favorite stuffy was a donkey I named da-da. Was with me through good times and bad until my dog ate him 🙁
These two are adorable! I never had a favorite stuffie, my daughter did though. She received a little plaid stuffed elephant when she was born and she had to sleep with “Ellie” every night. She even had to go to sleep overs with her! She actually wore out three of those elephants, before she out grew it. Thank goodness for Ebay, we had to replace her worn out one with one from EBay a couple times. On Christmas, we would leave “Ellie” under the tree and Santa would fix her when he dropped off the toys!
These new images are just too cute! I still love stuffies (my first one was a bear) and I enjoy buying them for my kids 😀
Oooh these are absolutely adorable!
My favourite is my teddy bear ‘Michael’ who’s slept with me for over 30 years! Reckon it would be hard choice who I prefer to sleep with … my DH or Michael … at least Michael doesn’t snore hahaha 😉
Oh my goodness I love Harry!!!!!! He is soooooooooooo cute. I love to send happy mail so he would be a must have.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Oh my, I am overwhelmed with cuteness – just look at them both! Oh oh oh, I feel this release is going to be a financial disaster for my bank account. Hugs Squirrel xx
What adorable images! Can’t decide which is my favorite. 🙂
Hi! Nice post and stamps ..now on some things I look different…
My favorite stuffie was a quilted blanket I had on my bed, I would stick the corner of it on my cheek each night (along with the thumb in the mouth). I love these images! just too too cute!!
How cute! Can’t wait to get my hands on these.
I want to just give that bear a squeeze. Can’t wait to see the rest of the collection. Peaches is pretty darn cute too. Stamping Bella always seems to inspire crafters. Thanks for all you create.
Love the new stuffie concept. Can’t wait for the new items.
I moved lots (and lots and lots) so no longer have my stuffy – but I have my talking bear stuffy from my granddaughter that I treasure. LOVE the new release, as always!!!
O…M…G… both of these little ones are so adorable! Some days I know just how Peaches feels…but it looks like Harry is there to cheer her up with his happy mail! LOL!
Adorable! Snoopy stuffies all my (46) life. =) Amazingly cute images. Thank you for sharing your creations!
OMG These are just sooooooo cute. I love Harry bestest I think but Peaches is adorable too (I have days like she’s having too!). I still have a bedroom full of stuffies, and I’m 39 (plus 24 months!!!). My oldest stuffie is a donkey named Eeyore and he was bigger than I was when he was bought for me as a baby. When I had to go into hospital once as a kid for a minor op he went with me, and the nurses put a plaster on him when I was having my op so when I came round afterwards we could get better together! He’s been a lifelong pal but I also have a huge fondness for Winnie the Pooh and as an adult I have collected many of the characters in a variety of classic and Disney styles. But I’ve always loved Eeyore the best. I love donkeys. We live near a donkey sanctuary and I love visiting them. They’re so cute and friendly. I might just go and give my donkey stuffie a quick snuggle now! Just to remind him that I love him! :0)
I cannot stand the cuteness of these two!
My stuffie was a green bear I named “Bimbo.” He was my confidant, my comforter, and my listening ear when I was little girl. As we both aged, his tummy fuzz disappeared as this was where I always laid my head to tell him my childhood woes as he absorbed all my tears.
Thank you so much for sharing your stuffies with us and allowing me to re-live a moment that was shoved back in my distant memory.
Favorite Stuffie would have to be an elephant I have had forever. He is just too cute with his floppy ears! Love the new stamps!
Awww, too cute. Luv Peaches!
Lovin’ Harry. He is the cutest.
I absolutely love Harry and must have him! When can we order??!
Can’t wait for November 2nd to come!
About 3 months before my mom passed away she bought my daughter and I these stuffed bears. Its been 16 years and that bear though its a bit dusty still sits on my shelf. She is beautiful and I know my mom is still with me. Your two new stamps are super cute. My 10 year old grandson LOVES pigs and for some reason as soon as I saw this pig it reminded me of the first time he had ice cream he was 14 mo. old, it almost ended up the same way. Great way to start your blog off bringing me to tears and back to smiles!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh these are wonderful. Can hardly wait to get my hands on them. Thx for bringing us fantastic images to play with and love.
I use to have a bed full of stuffies. I would not be able to pick a favourite.
Love these two stuffies. My favorite is pooh bear.
i love them. My favorite stuffie was a Mary had a Little Lamb that my nana crocheted for me. She has since passed on, but Mary with her Little Lamb lives on.
omgosh, these are adorable!!! I’m so excited to see more of the new release. Yay!!! I loved my dolls as a kid and had a whole bunch of Cabbage Patch dolls on my bed. LOL We had many, MANY fun adventures together!
I ADORE Harry! Aw and sweet lil Peaches has won me over. I love Stamping Bella new release days 🙂
These are SO gorgeous – and great for all sorts of cards! I had a little grey bear as a child, which I literally loved to death?My mother managed to replace him one Christmas by telling me he had gone to live with Santa Claus – -now I am nearly 62 I am not quite sure she was telling me the truth! And yes, I still have his replacement!
These are so adorable. Love the little pig… and yes…some things arent meant to be. My fav stuffie was a life size doll my mum sewed after my friend died in a car accident. She was always with me when I was child. Bit morbid, I know, but it helped me cope.
Harry and Petunia have so much personality! Love Petunia’s ice cream hat!
I love your story. It is so inspirational to hear the thought process being creating your stamps. They are really cute and very versatile.
My daughter had a pink cat that was made out of the material that baby blankets are bound with, super soft it was called a fluffalump!! I loved it!!
I absolutely love these new additions to the family!! I’m a big fan…I already have ideas how I would use these adorable characters.!!!
Oh my goodness….they are too cute!
Oh my gosh they are so sweet! My favorite stuffie was cuddles a fluffy white soft teddy bear 🙂
Oh my gosh adorable. I still have a bed full of stuffies. Mostly cows with a few of my most favorite bears.
Both Stuffies are super cute, but I really want Harry the Stuffie so I can use him to make a card to send to my sweet niece at college.
We all love stuffies! My daughter collected them and now my granddaughter does but has her favourite. My son slept with his til he was 14. (Sshh, was never supposed to tell anyone that)
Those stuffies are adorable!!!! I had a favorite stuffie name Herbert. He was a giant pink bear that I would sleep on nightly. Loved that guy!
Oh my goodness, these are PRECIOUS. Both of them. Absolutely adorable. My favorite stuffie is a TY lizard named George. During Christmas we take turns putting George around the house… sticking his head in the stockings, hiding in the tree, reading a book, watching baby Jesus in the Nativity scene. It’s so fun to find him every morning!! 🙂
Love Harry and Peaches! My favorite stuffie is my sweet bear-bear LuLu, yes I still have her, and I am OLD! 🙂
Both stuffies are so adorable!
When I was little I had a stuffie made out of my first fuzzy snowsuit- how fun is that?! Wish I still had it?.
My favourite was a puppy dog stuffie that my grandma gave me. I could even store my pj’s in his belly while I was at school. I think the teddy stuffie is so cute and Petunia is adorable!
Do I have stuffies? Yes!! Do I have a favorite? It’s my Hello Kitty doll I go when I went to Hong Kong when I was small (shhhhh… don’t let the rest of them know as it might hurt one of their feelings…LOL). I remember as a kid, sleeping with a bed full of stuffies…they lined the top of my head, all along the side and then all on the bottom, taking 3/4 of the bed and leaving me 1/4 to sleep on. I still have all my stuffies from when I was small, and have accumulated many more along the way. LOL! So I guess I can say that I’m collecting for the last 40ish years!
Well my favorite stuffie is on my bed. My great granddaughter gave me a bear that she picked out when she was just a toddler. Love it. Your stamps are always the sweetest. Thank you
Peaches is truly adorable but I must confess I’ve given my heart to Harry! I LOVE me a sweet Teddy Bear! 🙂
Oh my oh my Harry is ADORABLE! He could be the bestest friend to the 2 teddies on my shelf. My childhood one 😉 and the more recent ‘hug in a box’ teddy from my sister….and Petunia?!? what can I say? That is my nickname…..I identify ROFLOL
Have to have them, especially Stuffie!
I don’t recall having a favorite stuffed animal? I remember my sister had a stuffed Snoopy who had been carried by the neck so much he had rubber neck syndrome. My son’s favorite was a large spotted seal pup named Andre. He would carry it everywhere! My daughter’s was a stuffed panda. Love YOUR stuffies!!
Teddy bear. Had him a long time but made the mistake of letting new puppy snuggle. No more Teddy. Your stamps are just the cutest
I love the dog stuffie! I still have my favorite stuffie, from childhood. It’s a flat dog, sleeping. It used to have a squeaker in it’s ear, but after being washed a bunch of times, it had to be taken out. It’s cuter without it! Thanks for a chance to win.
These are just too cute!
OMG!! I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only 44 year old who still has tons of Stuffies! Just last winter I was obsessed with Olaf..for those who don’t know who Olaf is, he is a silly snowman from the Disney movie Frozen! Don’t ask me why I was obsessed with him but I bought myself one of those 2 Foot ones, then I picked up another half his size and sat them together around a cute winter scene 🙂 You would have thought I was done with the two..Nope, I saw a baby Olaf and he was such the cutest little snowman. Placed him right beside the other two. Two weeks later my daughter brings me yet another baby Olaf…lol We were giggling as we looked at the entire army of Olaf’s! I finally was happy to see the holidays pass and put the entire collection of Olaf’s away “Giggle”
Enough about my lengthy crazy obsession! I’m really loving HARRY the STUFFIE loves HAPPY MAIL and PEACHES the STUFFIE! I have to admit Harry needs to make his way over to visit me I could use some fluffy Happiness in my life. Harry you just may do the trick 😉 I can’t wait to see the rest of the Sneak Peeks!
Too cute for words. Love the stuffies.
OMG these two are precious! I think I have more stuffies now than I did as a child. 🙂 I did have a Raggedy Ann that my mother made, I love her hair off! Little bother had a black and white puppy that work a union suit complete with drawer flap!
I had a panda as a little’un. I have a collection of stuffies I’ve moved from home to dorm room to dorm room to apartment to apartment (6 times) and finally to my house, but not one of those is s panda. Guess no other panda ever measured up. LOL Harry and Peaches are adoooorable! This is going to be another full set syndrome stamp line! =)
I too still have stuffie’s and LOVE them.
I had a Teddy when I was little that I wanted to keep forever. Unfortunately my parents threw him out thinking I was too old
for him :o(
I can’t wait to get Harry! Peaches too of course :o)
Oh Emily, you grabbed my heart with these guys. I love my stuffies and my kids have a massive collection of stuffies- they are 16 and 18. My favourite was a bunny I had as a small child that I could draw its clothes on and then wash it to do it again. I thought that was just so cool for the 70’s lol.
Harry and Peaches are too cute! My stuffie was an elephant.
My favorite stuffy was a stuffed gray elephant. In fact I still have him. I can’t wait to get peaches because I love pigs.
Both images are as cute as can be. But what a cute valentine Harry would make.
Love these little guys…… I still have some of my favourite stuffies! One was an Elephant I named Jonathon Sebastion Demitrius Maurice……yep, a long handle I know….. I do have to admit that I was still in my 20’s and travelling with a Very Large Polar Bear Stuffie with Sunglasses and an Olivia Newton Jon headband that rode shot gun with me in my car!…..
I am in love with Harry but I am a Letter Carrier & he has a purpose in my book. I hug on a few stuffies when I am watching a scary movie & alone at home. They come handy !!
I looooveee stuffed animals. To this day my mom & my husband still randomly give me stuffed animal. They have to cute & soft of course. I totally love Peaches. Both images are so adorable!!
Oh my I am a stuffie addict. I am 60 years old but still love my stuffies. When my place gets a little crowded I just bring my stuffies to a children’s hospital and spread the joy. And start all over again. I think I am just a kid at great and don’t really remember having any as a child. I think it’s because I came from such a large family. Stuffies make me smile and warm my heart.
Sooooooo cute! I wouldn’t mind having these!!!!
Awwww the sneak peaks r looking so cute!
I love them both. I still have all the Carebears my mom made for me when I was younger.
If it is a dragon and it is stuffed, I have it. I have my first doll: a stuffed sock made by my aunt 71 years ago!!!
My childhood friend was a whitish close-cropped bear named Fuzzy Wuzzy. He was left outside in the rain and became stiff and scratchy so my mother covered him in a rabbit skin and he was better than new! Thanks for the memory!
Since early childhood I have always had a collection of stuffed animals — to the point that when I got married at age 21, I packed them all up to head to a new home with my husband and saw that I had over 4 large black trash bags full of them. Sadly, my new man made 3 of those bags disappear. 🙁 At least I kept some of my very, very favorites — that I still have in our children’s rooms today. They love stuffies too! Yea! Nothing like a good cuddle!
Harry the Stuffie reminds me of my childhood bear named Ginger. Loved Ginger and love Harry too !!
Adorable images! Many members of my family have had favorites, mostly a sock clown that my mother made.
Adorable stuffies!! I had two favs. When I was just a teeny tot I had a fluffy kitty. I loved her so much that she lost all her fur! Then I had a stuffed Charlie Brown. I still have him! Sadly he is in a box in my closet but at one time he was the bomb!
I so relate to Peaches!! Love both of the Stuffies. I had two monkey Stuffies growing up. They were my very best friends! I always slept with them…they kept me safe and my imagination alive. I wanted to take one of my Stuffies to school for show and tell but he was soooo very “loved” my mother told me he couldn’t go. I was so pleasantly surprised the next day that my mother had stayed up overnight to clean him up and stitch up some well worn places so that my best friend could come to school to meet some new friends. The secret here….I cried because he wasn’t as loveingly worn as he was before he got his “bath”.
Just love these new Stuffies…I just found your website and blog and have spent hours looking around. Thanks for your great stamps and wonderful inspirations!
Awe, both of these stuffies are too cute! I had a donkey stuffie growing up but don’t remember his name. He was sweet though!
As always, lovin’ the new stamps. Must say, I have a special place in my heart for Harry. He looks a bit familiar.
Oh my gosh!!!! These stuffies are so adorable!! My favorite stuffie growing up was “Flower” from Bambi! I loved that skunk! Can’t wait to see the rest of this release.
I just celebrated my 70th birthday and stuffies are still an important part of my daily life. Many of my stuffies have been with me for decades. “Precious” is a white fluffy bear dressed in a lace trimmed purple dress with a bird’s nest hat. She sits in my craft room and always has a smile on her face. I think she and Harry would make a cute couple.
These are way too adorable. I still have many stuffies, however, I’ve strategically placed them in my kids’ rooms! I had my favourite on my bed, but the hubby wasn’t a fan!
My favorite stuffie is long gone. 🙁 It was a monkey puppet. It was super fun. Unfortunately a mouse got into it and ruined it. Thanks for the chance to win. Love the new stamps.
I love both if the new stuffies stamps… I can’t wait to see more! Your stamps are so addicting! I was definitely a teddy bear lover as a child but my brother’s first and favorite stuffie was actually “piggy”. He is 36 and still has him on display…I believe Piggy would get along quite well with Peaches!
Peaches is just too darn cute. I had a stroke in my 40’s and my son brought me a pink teddy bear to keep me company. Peaches reminds me of it.
They are both adorable, but I think Peaches has
Captured my heart! Her face is just so precious.
I so love your little Harry. I have had my first teddy, DubDub since I was born. His fur is matted and he has been loved a lot. My boys each have their own bears too…and love them to pieces. Thanks for creating these stamps…they are great!!
Love this line of stuffies!!!! I collected Boyd’s bears for many years so even at my age I still have stuffies!!! Thanks for the chance!
I have lots of stuffies, but my oldest one is a Winnie the Pooh that I’ve had since I was 2. He is 45 years old! ?
Super cute!!! Actually Adorable is more like it!! My favorite stuffie were always bears but I had so many stuffed animals growing up and loved all of them ha.
My stuffie was a pink poodle dog my hubbies gave me on my wedding day. It comforted me during my sad times of having a stillborn then a miscarriage then the death of my husband at a young age. Sure got me through those lonely night times
I guess our favorite stuffie who has since passed was our cat Tommy. A big black cat who would purr us to sleep and be in mine of my husband’s arms at night. He was just the best Teddy Bear.
I feel sad and neglected. I never had any stuffies. Too many people in the house and my mum was allergic to dust so nothing that could house dust. I feel I really missed out in my early years, lucky I made up for that with my children. Love these two stuffies. So very cute. Congratulations on more wonderful stamps.
Oh these are just the cutest little things!!!! I loved my stuffed friends growing up – I have one (a little elephant) that still hangs out on my bed…and a couple more hiding out close by. Thanks for the chance!
My favorite “stuffy” was my “Bubba”, my Jack Russell, Jiff. Sadly, we had to part with Jiff on the 29th of September, 2015. I miss him sooooo much. He was my buddy. He followed me everywhere, even to the bathroom. He was waiting outside the shower for me every day. He couldn’t wait for me to go to my craft room and create. He would lay right beside me while I spent time creating……how I miss him! It broke my heart to have to part with him and I still have a hard time when I think of him. Your images have brought a smile to my face. Jiff had his own stuffies that he would bring into my craft room and cuddle with as I created. Love your images!!! Thanks so much for bringing a smile to my face! MWAH to you!
I just love the stuffies!!! We have lots of stuffies around our house! These stamps are just the cutest!
I don’t think you are ever too old for stuffed animals, as my daughters were deciding they were too old for them the last couple of years, they were too cute to get rid of have made their way to my bedroom. Growing up a had a stuffed dog called Henry, and he is still with me, he might even make a cute stamp! LOL
I have a long leg plush doggie that my mom had given me before she passed away 15 years ago. And she got it for me just because. Something like this just leaves a lot of memory in your heart.
Absolutely love these stuffier! Can’t wait til November 2nd!! My favorite stuffie was a koala bear my aunt gave me:)
Had a bunny and a bear when I was little until younger sibling did them in. I now collect bears and have a Hello Kitty with a tan that is just the right size to cuddle.
This post made me SMILE….BIG! I too am part of the 50+ crowd and my current fav stuffie is Horton the Elephant! I NEED an elephant stuffie stamp! Thanks for the chance to win and I cannot WAIT to see more peeks!
“I’m just wild about Harry” and I sung that in my head while I wrote this, but seriously they are both awesome. LOVE the “STUFFIES” already. xx
Oh my..these 2 are a must have…they would make anyone’s day to receive a card with such cuteness…i can’t wait to get them….
oh my! both of these are so stinking cute!!! Can’t wait to see the rest!! 😉
I’m loving Harry… my favorite stuffie was a pillow my grandma sewed for me. You know the type, it was two pre-printed fabric panels, you cut out the “pattern”; in this case mine was a pink cat and sew together, then stuff. Dragged it everywhere and slept with it until it fell apart…
Well what strong, independent, loveable girl hasn’t had a bed full of stuffies!!! I’m still a stuffies addict and love getting them for my daughters. These two images are absolutely adorable!! My youngest daughter and I are huge fans of Petunia and are thrilled to meet Peaches!!! Harry has those huge adorable eyes. Can’t wait to meet more of the new Stuffies!!!!
I am stuffie obssessed!! I have Buildabear’s, Webkinz, many Disney ones, you name it! But bears and pigs, honest!!! are my favorites!!!
I love the stuffies you’ve created. They are adoreable! I used to have a stuffed bear that was my best bud. From tea parties to hikes in the woods, he was with me through it all. I loved that bear so much, and you could tell by his worn out paws. One day mom and I decided to put him in the washing machine. Unfortunately, he did not survive. Tho, tho sad:( You’re images brought a smile to my face as I remembered my BSF (Best Stuffie Forever).
My little one’s best bud is a stuffed monkey. I don’t care how dirty that little monkey gets; He will never go in the wash.
Keep up the inspiring work!!!
Oh My Goodness… These are so adorable!!! Peaches Nose.. Perfect!! I can’t wait for these.. Eeek So excited!! My favs were a set of Ragedy Ann And Andy dolls my mother made.. They had the yarn hair and everything I also had a Sock Monkey That I keep until it literally fell apart. I think I showed my age there a bit.. shhheessh!!
I didn’t have stuffies when I was little. They didn’t get really big until I had kids. But I had a dolly. And one day I came home and found a cousin had decapitated it. It was in the garbage and no one told me, so I had to find out on my own. I never forgave him or my mom, who was not gonna tell me and thought I would just not notice.
Love these two new images! Have to have both! I still have a room of “stuffies” and doll.
My beloved koala bear ?! It matched the wallpaper in my room. I loved that thing! When I threatened to run away at 6 yrs old…lol He’s all I grabbed. Then I saw the dark hallway and told my mom I’d leave in the morning. Ahaha I didn’t though!
My favourite is Peaches. My DH has a harley and they get called hogs so any stamps with piggies on I love.
Who doesn’t love stuffies at any age! I heart the mail stuffy especially since my family lives afar. I mail them personalized cards each month! This would be a perfect addition!
Hiya, love them both. My favorite stuffie was a King Charles dog that was the most beautiful rust color with big brown eyes. My daddy gave it to me when I was 4 years old, the day I was admitted to Childrens Hospital in Wash., DC for a tonsillectomy, and from that day on Buster went everywhere I went, he got his shots the days I got mine, he always went first :), he received bandaids anytime I was in need of one. He survived many bee stings, bazillion jambed fingers several broken bones and a broken collar bone. He survived my 2 children, but sadly couldn’t survive my ex-husbands flavor of the month throwing him in the garbage. :(. RIP Buster 1967 – 1999
These are so adorable! I had a white and purple Popple that went with me EVERYWHERE! She was well-loved (falling to pieces) so I’ve tucked her away until I can find some way to preserve or repair her.
These are absolutely adorable. I had a small, floppy, stuffed lion cub. Still have it to this day.
Stuffies are comfort. Everyone can relate.
Super cute ! Looking forward to Nov 2nd !
Oh my gosh! I never had a Stuffy because I had dolly’s. However….my little brother had a stuffed little Panda bear that my sister and I used to sneak and play with it and dress it up with our dolly’s. We didn’t think he would mind if his little Panda joined our babies! hahahaha! I wanted that Panda to be mine so badly! hehehehe. I love Hairy and and Peaches so much! I would love to win them, if I don’t I will be purchasing them 🙂
So cute! Love these little guys.
Hi there….Stuffie girl too!! Fred, Fred was my Lab that I lost in 2008. He loved his Stuffies. He was so gentle with them. After his passing I just couldn’t get rid of them so I have them on an old steamer trunk in my bedroom. They remind me everyday of how much he loved them and how much he meant to me!! Stuffies….I love Stuffies!!! Thanks for making me smile!!!
They are lovely
They’re both so nice…… but I fall in love with Harry!!
Lovely new release!!!
I love Harry bear :*
I had a white teddy bear with a red heart on his chest, he was my favorite and he now sits in my daughter’s room and makes her feel special.
I used to have a teddy bear when I was a baby and kept it until I was about 7 years old. Unfortunately a neighbours dog grabbed it from my hands and ripped it apart in front of me 🙁 I was devastated but I have never forgotten my first fluffy friend. I think that is where my love of bears, dolls etc came from. I still have a photograph of me and my beloved bear from when I was about 9 months old. Your new images are so sweet x x
My favourite stuffy was a stuffed floppy monkey that was knitted and stuffed by my grandmother. It went missing some years ago and I wish I still had it.
However, I have a new favourite stuffy and his name is “Hedgey” and as you can probably guess, he is a large stuffy of a hedgehog. He is very rocky-poly and I found him a couple years ago at Winners.
I have a turtle with huge eyes. She’s just as adorable as Harry. He’s soo cute!
Love the new stamps:) when I was little, I would make sure all my stuffiness were on the bed so they would not feel left out.
Just loved bears growing up, and had a hefty collection of them right up until my kids were getting old enough to want them all. <3
Love the new designs!!!
Lovely new designs!! I still have a bear like this!!
I am going to love the stuffie line. How cute! My favourite stuffed animal was my teddy bear. My Grandma gave it to me and a similar one to my twin sister Elaine. It came with a red bow tie and my Grandma knit a sweater to go with. We brought those bears everywhere. They are definitely not soft like they used to be … They are well loved. My bear’s name is Fuzzy and Elaine named her bear Wuzzy. My bear still sits on a chair in my family room. He is not packed away. More than thirty years later.
You always manage to out do your self with each new sneak peak. What darling stamps , can not wait to win them or buy them if I do not win.
Keep them coming.
I carried around 3 stuffed animals when I was a child: Lambie, Sheepie, and Snoopy. They were so grungy and their fur was worn away. They are in several photos with me. I still have them in a box somewhere here in the house.
I had one favourite ‘stuffie’ as a child and that was my black and white panda bear – I still have him to this day and I’m 50 tomorrow, he’s a bit love-worn and a little bit more squishy than when I was younger but I still love him.
Thanks for sharing your memories andthese two fabulous new releases with us, they are both so cute and adorable.

I always love your stories behind your stamps but this touched me more than all of your other ones. I had a stuffed brown Henry dog with black floppy ears and I am so mad at myself that when I became an adult I got rid of him. I still miss him all these many years later. Both of these 2 stamps are cuter than cute! Love them.
I love everything but Stamping Bella. I can’t pick a favorite. Lol. I would love to WIN!!!
Good Morning, I love the Bella stamps and I have a collection of stuffies that is awesome. My favorite is a momma doggy that has a zipper on her tummy and 3 baby puppies inside, I received “Sally” after I had open heart surgery many, many years ago. She was sent to me from a lady in Florida and a treasured addition to my collection, she has provided many years of pleasure for me. I love all your stamps and the 2 newest ones are amazing. I love bears and piggies!!! I love all stuffies they pull at my heart strings. Thank you for the chance to win.
Juanita
I have a few stuffies I’ve collected over the years and so does our golden retriever, Jack …. I love these two stuffies you have here and would love if I win …. if I don’t I’ll still love them
Diane
Adorable release! Where would we be without our beloved “stuffies” and “blankies”.
I still have stuffies!! One of them is a gingerbread doll I’ve had since I was 5. I am now 50+ 🙂
Harry and Peaches are so cute – however, I now need some ice cream.
I love the stuffy happy mail. My favorite is this floppy, squishy cute snowman that my husband bought me a long time ago. I saw it in a restaurant where we were eating lunch and he used all manner of stealth to go back and get my snowman. He is so sweet, even after 26 years of marriage he makes my heart melt.
I still have the majority of my childhood stuffies. My favorite was my buddy Bloop! He was this egg shaped plastic pearl filled guy. He was red with 2 small black eyes that were placed very close to each other. He also had some shaggy black hairs that stuck out of the top of his head.
He came with he to all my first days of school, when I had my tonsils out(the Dr gave him surgery too) and moved with me to my first marital home.
He really was my companion (until my ex husband destroyed him to be mean to me) 🙁
Emily, you’ve touched our hearts! Once again, ? With these wonderful images and your sharing. I know the importance of stuffies, so I make sure my granddaughters have a good collection to keep them secure. Mwah and hugs.
This new Stuffies line is adorable. When my grandma moved in with us before she passed away we would by her stuffies because we kew how much she loved them.
These are so cute! I have always loved stuffed bears, dogs and tigers
Umm, my teddy bear stuffie is sitting right now in the corner table in my craft room. I’ll be 71 in Dec. Never too old for a stuffie.
Can’t imagine life without stuffies! I still have some and am always tempted to buy new ones for the granddaughters. Love this new line, especially Harry! That’s my hubby’s name so you can guess which is my favorite.
Be still my ?? This teddy bear is adorable! I never had a special friend but my kids do!
Love both images.
More cute faces to love!
I Love these Stuffies, I am a collector of stuffed bears, my Mom collected stuffed pigs.
They are all adorable! I have “stuffies” my sister made, before she passed away, that I treasure! Thank you for the chance to win!! Have a wonderful day!
Harry is TOO cute and I just want to squeeze him! Honestly don’t remember having a stuffed animal because I’m a seasoned citizen and we didn’t have a lot of money growing up on a wheat farm. I did have one doll I treasured. Love your website and your sense of humor!
Oh my goodness. These are just the cutest! My favorite was from my papaw. He had to work out of town for a while, and when he came back, he brought me a teddy bear. It was, and still is, my absolute favorite.
Always exciting to see what you ladies come up with next. Too adorable. Childhood stuffies never leave you.
omg that pig!
I had many favourite stuffed animals as a child but one of my favourites was a stuffed pig named Piggy (original, I know). I even had him at my side when I was in labour! 🙂
Ah how cute! I have to say I looked at Peaches the Stuffie and thought it was just a birthday hat at first, then I read the sentiment and it popped out at me that it was an ice cream cone! How funny. I think I have been working too hard and need to be in my stamp room instead! Love, love your stamps.
I love both of these images. They’re darling.
I had a stuffie in college. It was a buffalo, and was our dorm room mascot. His name was Snuffy-doodle-ber-klein-sten Buffa-mya-phant. We all loved him. I know just how you feel about stuffies. :0)
My stuffie is Snoopy! He has been with me since before I graduated from high school…and sans boot camp…traveled with me (and still does) throughout my USMC Career. From coast to coast and overseas. There is something simplistic and comforting about a good stuffie snuggle.
Love your stuffies. I had lots growing up. My fav was a big snuggly dog named Christmas. My current fav is a teddy bear that my 91 year old mom made from her mom’s fur coat.
I like the first one….for my wife, she will love it!!
I like the first one for my wife….she will love it!!!
( delete previus message, an s is missing onthe mail address)
Usually not fond of pig things but this one is cute!!
Love you stuffie story! I grew up with hardship as well and my stuffies were my saving grace. I still collect stuffies and sometimes rehabilitate them for others. There is nothing in the world like a well-loved, time-worn stuffie! These images are both SUPER cute but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Happy Mail one! It is so rare for most people to receive snail mail with all of the electronic options available but there is still nothing in the world like a card made with LOVE that says exactly what you want it to! Thanks for bringing such gorgeous images to the world!
Sooooo adorbs!!!!!
Soo adorable! Harry actually made me go, “Aawww…!”
Cindy
So much cuteness love them x
Oh my these are adorable! I didn’t halve stuffiness BUT I had a baby dolls and barbies!!! I know the love!
Oh how I LOVE SWEET lil ole Harry bear!,, I had a bear stuffie and I think I loved him to dead!!
I now seem to have doggy stuffies… And I’m 42 and still sleep with a stuffy!!
Thank you again for sharing!!
My hubby rides a Harley so my favourite is Peaches. Anything relating to HOG’s (Harley riders and Cute piggies) does it for me.
Such cute stamps. My favorite stuffed animal was a lion named Rufus from Sears back in the early 70s. I still have him today.
I love my stuffies too! Hugs!
Such fun stamps with some many uses! Love them! Adorable!
So cute! Love Harry!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Over the moon for the new collection already! So excited!!
I still have my bear “Teddy” that I got from my grandma when I was little. He went everywhere with me. These images are great. Thanks for the chance to win.
These guys are phenomenal; I absolutely adore them!!
Oh my word! Harry and Peaches are so freaking adorable!!!
harry reminds me of a bear my mother gave me, overtime i look at it, i remember her
These are just too cute.
Growing up, I didn’t have stuff toys and the best way I can describe it was because we don’t have budget for those things. So, I got by with just going to the stores in the mall and touched or hugged some of the ones I deemed cute and cuddly. I didn’t know how much it affected me until I got a job that traveled to different countries via Cruise ships. I recall going to China for the first time and buying 3 to 4 medium sized stuff toys that day and after several months of going there, my cabin bed was full of them. I brought them all back home in a couple of large boxes. I still have them today but in the storage. Anyway, I love, love, love those 2 new releases and would be glad to win them. God bless!

Both images make you smile, super super cute.
Love Jane x
Super cute and as always so original. LOve!
I don’t think you can ever be too old to have “stuffies”! At least I hope so because I still have quite a few around lol. My favorite is a stuffed Eeyore that I got many many years ago and plan on having forever!
These are, indeed, SOoo adorable!! Congrats to you and Chrystal!
I love ’em both!!!
Back in my day, we didn’t have stuffies so much as stuffED and my favorite was Raggedy Ann. (And, NO, I DON’T know how they pyramids were built! Sheesh!! How old do you think I am?!! lol!)
Harry is the best!
Harry and Peaches – the names are as adorable as the images!
Fellow Montrealer here! I am absolutely crushing on these stamps! I had many stuffies, my boys too, now my daughter! Whom, by the way has looked through the release with me and has decided that she wants her own stamps. umm..yeah, she is almost 6, thinks she is 18. we will share, toots!
Oh my goodness! Cutest things ever! A must have! (I am grinning from ear to ear!) I had a lion and a blankie. When I had my first child, she used to to talk to it as a baby. I am not ashamed to say I still have the lion.
These are both such cute stamps and can be used for so many occasions. They are definitely going on my wish list!
This post brought tears to my eyes! I understand the power of a Stuffie! In the lase three years, I’ve had back problems that ended up resulting in spinal fusion and knee surgeries. I’ve been unable to work, or leave the house except for doctors appointments. My normal now and normal 5 years ago are completely different and not really in a good way, just in a way that has to be. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve adopted a stuffie that I sleep with that somehow gives me comfort. Even though I’m well past being a full-grown adult and I know it’s pretty silly! Life can be hard at any age and someone a stuffie helps!
For someone that pen pals thanks for the Happy Mail image.
My daughter who is 17 is a stuffie addict her room is filled with stuffed animals and she loves them all as if they were human. My fave was an Odie dog you know Garfields friend LOL I have no idea what happened to him as we moved so much as a kid. I guess I outgrew him:( Thanks for the inspiration
I still write to my friends with a pen and a sheet 🙂 Love those cute characters. A very awesome release.
These are so adorable! I had many many stuffies over the years. Most got lost in a fire when I was about 9 but I had a few beyond that however, my kiddo has swiped them over the years. He’s getting good snuggle use out them still. 🙂
my favorite stuffie was a teddy bear, pink (or at least it used to be pink) gifted by my dear grand mother that died way too soon.
My dad passed away this year, I had to empty his house and found my beloved stuffie there. My daughter is now so happy to get to play with him and cuddle him a lot…
Harry is so cute!!!
How fun! Sign me up. I Love to celebrate life in our church. I create a home made birthday card for each member of our church. This would be a great addition to my Stamping Bella collection. I had to buy hooks the other day so i can display them better.
Oooooh !!!
I can’t decide which one is cuter then the other…
In love with that cute Pig & that Adorable Mail Dog!!!
Have to have them both !!!
Thanks for the chance!!
Oh my goodness…..my heart melted seeing Peaches…just like the ice cream on her adorable head. TOO, TOO CUTE!!!
BTW….I still have my favorite stuffie…it’s a rabbit and I’ve had him since I was 2 years old…he’s 44 years old!!! (yes, it’s probably older than most of you!!!….HAHAHAHAHA) It’s not longer white, his limbs have fallen off and sewn back on countless times, I’ve mended holes in his entire body, his nose has been glued back on several times, his cute brown overalls was lost years ago….with all of this, I just cannot get myself to get rid of him.
I want Harry. He looks like he would be a great hugger when life gets sad. Unfortunately I need that sometimes. He will go right into my cart along with a bunch of other ones. Being this is day 1, I know I will want them all. LOL
I love happy mail!
I love happy mail – perfect for little ‘hello’ cards! I still have my teddy from when I was a baby so he is quite old now! 😉
Cute!!! My favourite plushie / stuffie was a little yellow teddy. He’s still at my family home with my parents, currently waiting for my little 3 month old daughter to meet him when she visits granny and grandad
oh gosh these all are so cute, don’t have any but want them all!
OMG, I am in love with sweet Harry!!
I have a stuffed bear from high school! It is very old!
Thanks for sharing you story and these wonderful stamps. They are so cute! The teddy bear looks so fuzzy and cuddly. ..i just want to give him a hug!
I had a little bear stuffie named Snuffy. I think I bought him when I was maybe 11 because I thought he was just adorable. Well, he stayed with me into my teenage years and I brought him on trips too. One year I went to Baltimore with my church youth group and brought Snuffy. On that trip, he was kidnapped, tied to a rope and hung out a car window while driving down the highway, put in a freezer and even strung up a flag pole! My poor Snuffy! He survived it all and is still with me today. Thank you for this Stuffie line of stamps!
Just too cute! It’ll put smiles on people’s faces?
These stamps are amazing!!!!
Wow ! So cute ! Mine is a rabbit in a cute coton dress, named Lily ! Get this stuffy in hospital when I was a child, and since, Lily is always in my bedroom. Your stamps are so fabulous !!! Mouah ! Kisses !
So beautiful, I have my bears too
OMGosh, Em! I love this happy mail Stuffie! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
O my I make pocket letters and the Happy Mail bear would be too cute!
Love, love, love all your stamps! So glad I joined you! These are so cute and adorable that everyone will love them !!!
OMG those two are so cute! Just love them! I love all stuffies and always bought my kids a new one when came back from a travel and for holidays! My favorite was/ is a bear called Mumble Bear! He mumbled and his mouth moved to it when you pushed his tummy!! He was just adorable!!!!
Such cute and fun images…no fav. stuffie but my kids are very cute to cuddle.
Oh goodness that little piglet is just priceless
My other halfs nickname for me is “pig”! So this image is perfect!!! X
That little piggy is so cute.
Oh my… Too cute. The stuffies are absolutely adorable.
