Thankfully, after the UK spent most of the week in a heatwave, the temperatures have returned to normality and I can function again! Just in time to bring you Bellarific Friday and the final challenge in our MerMay 2026 celebration!
But before that…I have some exciting news to share. We are bringing you a special Summer Mini Release! It’s a little smaller than our usual releases, but it is packed with some incredible rubber stamp sets to keep you stamping, colouring, and crafting all summer long!

Sneak peeks are on Thursday 4th June, and the release is Friday 5th June. The Babes have already created some stunning cards with all of the stamps, and they will have even more for a new release showcase next Friday.
This week for Bellarific Friday the Babes were asked to create mermaid and underwater themed cards for a final MerMay showcase! Perfect to keep you inspired for playing with those beach and mermaid stamps over the rest of the summer.
If you click the images under “Stamps Used” for each card, it will take you directly to the product page on the website.

A gorgeous little scene from Steph. Love how she has used the background inking to create a cute focused scene.


This is a short one, although we did publish all of the challenge details ahead of time in the original post. You’ve got until midnight EDT on 31st May to enter this final week.
All you have to do is create an mermaid/underwater themed card using currently available rubber or digital stamps from Stamping Bella. Enter here on the Inlinkz link party below, or over in the album in our Stamping Bella Sistahood group on FB.

MWAH!
