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.
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.
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.
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!
Spec-Tacular Mom & Baby Succulent
Our wonderful Kristin Farnsworth is back with some amazing new images in this release. Her creativity is contagious, and you will see how much fun the Babes have had playing with her stamps already.
The Lunettes
Let’s start with the adorable Lunettes! Sweet characters wearing fabulous eye-wear. They pair up beautifully with the new Spec-Tacular Sentiment Set.
Then we have the other amazing images from Kristin that can be used on their own, or to create scenes/backgrounds. Truly beautiful and sentimental artwork.
Home Is Where Your Story Begins
Finally, we have some fantastic new additions to a couple of our core lines, and the return of another. We’ve got some gorgeous new Uptown Girls, an adorable Tiny Townie and our Littles are back, rebranded as Little Cuties – starting with some truly adorable mermaids! Let’s check them all out.
Love, love, love! Let’s take a look at the gorgeousness from our Babes featuring these stamps.
Little Cutie Mermaid in a Clam Shell
Little Cutie Mermaids & Octopus Friends
Little Cutie Mermaids & Seahorse
Tiny Townie Rae the Garden Helper
Uptown Girl Callie the Cowgirl
Uptown Girl Greta loves to Garden
That’s everything! I hope you’ve enjoyed this walk through of the new release. A huge thank you for all of the understanding, patience, and support during this difficult time. We can’t wait to get this new rubbah in your hands so you can create wonderful things with it all.
I will be back on Sunday with another post showing off more of the samples from the Babes!
MWAH!

As we head into MerMay tomorrow, I thought we’d take a look at one of our other underwater themed stamps: the adorable GNOME DIVER! He’s off on the search for a mermaid friend, and maybe some treasure…
Love him! So cute. He goes so well with our GNOME MERMAID, UNDER THE SEA BACKDROP, UNDER THE SEA CREATURES and UNDER THE SEA SENTIMENT SET.

Sadly Tamibella is unable to continue with her Sunday posts right now, as life is super-busy. We’re going to miss her, and are hoping she will be back with us in the future! We will still have lots of inspiration for you though, so don’t worry.
It has been quite some time since I did any no line colouring. I decided to ease myself back into it (haha) this week with one of the Spring 2024 release stamps. You can watch my Oddball Spring Fairy No Line Pencil Video below to see how this amazing stamp came to life using Prismacolor coloured pencils.
Stamps Used: ODDBALL SPRING FAIRY, CELEBRATE & CONGRATULATE SENTIMENT SET
