Summer 2025 Release Peeks Day 3

As you may have seen in our Release Peeks Day 1 post and Release Peeks Day 2 post, we have an amazing new Summer themed stamp release on the way! We have more peeks for you today and then all of the gorgeous new rubbah stamps will be available to order tomorrow – Monday 28th April!

We have 25 new image stamps and 3 new sentiment sets to go with them!

Today we have beach and MERMAID themed stamps. So if you’re ready for some MerMay fun, we’ve got plenty to get you going!

Let’s take a look at today’s peeks!

Beach Bundle Girl

Bundle Girl is off to the beach, and she’s got a little feathered friend – we’ve called it a seagull, but as the Babes have demonstrated in their samples, it also works as a little ducky, which is adorable and hilarious. That’s the beauty of stamping and colouring – creating your own vision!

We have Beach Bundle Girl in a Pinch, Beach Bundle Girl with a Floatie, and Beach Bundle Girl with a Seagull. The last two are 2 stamp sets with the girl and seagull stamps separate so you can mix and match with ease!

Beach Vibes Sentiment Set

We also have this great new Summer themed sentiment set to go with all of our Summer stamps!

Whimsabella Mermaid Stamps

That is everything! The new release will be available to order tomorrow – Monday 28th April 2025!
