Summer 2024 Release Review

Let’s take another look at the new release, and check out the rest of the wonderful cards the Babes have created using all of the new stamps.

Sentiment Sets

You will see these four new sentiment sets on many of the cards in today’s post. They pair beautifully with the new releases, and with so many of our older stamps too.

THE SPEC-TACULARS – adorable bespectacled objects illustrated by Amy Glatiotis. Seems like many of you agree that putting glasses on things seriously increases the cute factor!

Scenic Saturday with Amybella: Uptown Girl Briar Rose & The Cottage on the Hill

Firstly, we are absolutely delighted that you are all so excited about the website reopening and the Summer 2024 Release! Thank you so much for all of the support. We are very much looking forward to seeing all of your creations using the new stamps popping up online.

Today we have an amazing scene card to share featuring some of the new stamps, from our oh so creative queen of scenes Amybella!

Absolutely incredible, isn’t it? I love how Amy has created the perfect fairytale scene for our new Uptown Girl Briar Rose.

Stamps Used:

Amy coloured her scene using Copic markers.

That’s it for today! I will be back tomorrow with more inspiration from the Babes featuring the NEW RELEASE.

MWAH!

We’re Back! Summer 2024 Release & New Website

I am so happy to be writing this blog post! We’re back, with our new website and an incredible new stamp release to share with you, and we are all beyond relieved and delighted. Lots to show and tell you today, so grab a drink and a snack then dive in!

New Website:

You should be able to log in to this new website with the same account details as before. If you have issues, please try resetting your password.

Hopefully you will find the new website greatly improved! Our beautiful Emily features on every page at the bottom – just a little reminder that she remains at the heart of Stamping Bella. If you would like to add the Uptown Girl Emily da Bella stamp featuring the same artwork to your collection, she’s still available to order and proceeds will still be donated to the Emily Block memorial fund. 

Summer 2024 Release

Let’s get on to the most exciting part: the new stamps! We have 22 new image stamps and 4 new sentiment sets for you in this release. The new release is available to order now, and you can find everything in our WHAT’S NEW section.

Nothing has changed in terms of our stamps. They are still high quality deeply etched blue rubber, cling foam mounted.

On our social media sneak peeks, some of you have expressed that you hope the Oddballs are sticking around. They absolutely are. We don’t have any new Oddballs in this release, but they will return, so don’t worry! Hopefully you can also find some new rubber to enjoy in this release.

New Sentiment Sets

You will see these throughout the samples shown in today’s post! Four fantastic sentiment sets with lots of options to pair with the new images, and lots of our older stamps too.

New Illustrator: Amy Glatiotis

First we have a wonderful new addition, who we think you are going to love just as much as we do. Amy Glatiotis of Otis & M has a brilliant quirky and cute style that just fits so well here at Stamping Bella. We adore the humour and warmth in her images, and they make fantastic stamps!

Meet THE SPEC-TACULARS – adorable bespectacled objects. Putting faces on everyday objects makes them cute, adding glasses just makes them even cuter!

Utterly adorable, right? Perfect for creating cards and projects to make your loved ones (and you) smile! Which is your favourite?

Our amazing Bellariffic Babes have of course been crafting away, creating brilliant cards to showcase these new stamps. Let’s take a look!
