WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

Hello everyone! Delphineabella here with my Weekend Inspiration Post! There are so many beautiful winter stamps in the store, I had a hard time choosing the one I wanted to colour in priority, but I made it – so HOLIDAY OWL SENDING A CARD it is! The night has fallen and it is snowing today…

I stamped my image and created a simple scene around it. The only thing I added is a chipboard, a bit of snow in white paint pen, and that’s it!

Copics used:

Sky: B95, 97, 99

Snow: B000, 00, 95, 97, BV00

Owl: W1, 3, 5, Y35

Hat: C3, 5, R35, 37, 59, W7

Letter: BV00, E51, 53, 55

Happy Friday! It is of course, Bellariffic Friday, and the Babes have some gorgeous inspiration for us again this week, this time showing off stamps from the Holiday 2023 release.

Just a quick heads up before we get stuck into all of the eye candy. We aren’t having a Black Friday sale. But we are having a sale VERY soon! We have a new release coming on Friday 1st December, and will be running a storewide sale together with the release then, so mark your calendar!

Let’s get on with the inspiration! You might just find a few ideas to add to your shopping list for next week. There’s a new Copic video from me at the end of the post too. Enjoy!

After last week’s Bellariffic Friday card I wanted to create another Winter Woodland scene, this time with the little fox. Watch my Winter Woodland Fox Scene Copic Video below to see how this sweet wintry wood scene came to life using Copic markers.

I was inspired by our amazing Amybella again for this one – I really love how she often incorporates sentiments into scenes by colouring a sign around them. It’s a great way to make the sentiment part of the scene.

It’s that time of the week again. I’ve got my spotlight out and I’m shining it on an amazing stamp set – this month’s “Stamp of the Month” offer. Each month a stamp set is offered with a fantastic discount. You will have to be QUICK though – you’ve got until the end of 30th November 2023 to grab this month’s offer, and I’m here to show you why you need it. If you already have it, I’m here to remind you why you needed it, and inspire you to get it inky!

It’s hard to believe that it has been a whole year since we lost our founder, Emily Block. Our Emilybella. Da Bella. ForeverBella. Time is such a strange thing. It feels like such a long time, and also like no time at all.

I hope she would be proud of us all for keeping Stamping Bella going over the past year, and for continuing the Sistahood she loved so much. I think she would be. It hasn’t been easy, there have been lots of tears, and a steep learning curve for me personally taking on many of the tasks Emily performed, especially without Emily there to help, or to receive and return ranty messages in ALL CAPS. I spend a lot of time sending her ranty messages in my head. It helps.

I miss her immensely, as I know that so many do. For me at least, Stamping Bella gives me a sense of connection to her. I hope it does that for others too. She remains very much at the heart of everything we do. When our illustrator and I work on creating images to become stamps my first thought is always “What would Emily say about this?” Sometimes the responding thought makes me laugh out loud. Thankfully we both worked on images with Emily for so long that we have a good idea how she would feel about them. She would love the stamps we have released this past year, and she would be so excited about those we have coming in future releases.

Emily LOVED rubber, or rubbah as she would say. She loved inking up our beautiful blue rubbah with a juicy (joosy) ink pad and feeling the impression of the stamp on the paper. She wanted to share the joy that sparked with the world, and she did just that.

Thank you so very much to all of you for continuing to support Stamping Bella, and for continuing to create and share wonderful things featuring our stamps, keeping that joy alive. It always meant a lot to Emily, and it still means a lot to the whole team, and to her family and friends.

MWAH!
