What a Friday! We’ve got our usual Bellarific Friday for you, but as today is the 1st of May, we’ve also got the start of our MerMay fun.
To get things started, we’ve got a special offer for you. 15% off all Beach and Mermaid themed rubber stamps from now until midnight EDT on Sunday 3rd May!
Offer applies to new orders only. Prices are already adjusted on the website. Discount does not stack with any other codes. Rubber stamps only.
This MerMay we are also inviting you to join in with our Bellariffic Friday challenges! You have the whole month to enter all of the challenges. Just follow along with each challenge listed below. You can enter your cards each week on the Bellarific Friday post, but I am adding all of the challenges for the month below so you can work ahead if you want to.
You must use CURRENT Stamping Bella rubber or digital stamps with a beach or mermaid theme, so make sure you check the website. Follow this link to see our Beach & Mermaid Rubber Stamps. We have two digital stamp sets that would fit the theme: Squidgy Mermaid Digital Stamp Set and Rosie & Bernie the Unicorn Under the Sea Digital Stamp Set.
You can enter via our Inlinkz below, or over on our Stamping Bella Sistahood Facebook group in the pinned challenge albums.
All the MerMay challenges will close at 2359 UTC+1 on 31st May 2026. A winner from each challenge will be drawn at random from all of the entries in our FB group and inLinkz and announced on Blogabella. The prize for each challenge is a $25 gift certificate for the Stamping Bella online store. Entrants are permitted 3 entries per challenge theme. Entries must be made to either FB or inLinkz, they may not be submitted to both – duplicate entries will be removed from the draw. You do not need a link to enter here on inLinkz.
You have all month to enter your cards in each weekly challenge. Every Friday the Bellarific Friday post and an album in the FB group will go up for you to enter your cards.
