Congratulations Patricia! Please email me at customerservice@stampingbella.com and I will get your gift card sent over.
On to Bellarific Friday for your regularly scheduled inspiration fix! This week the Babes were challenged to choose and follow one of Sandiebella’s Thursday tutorials or another tutorial from the blog.
Jenny followed Sandie’s TOWER CARD TUTORIAL to make this gorgeous Christmas card featuring one of our new release stamps! Love that this fancy fold makes such a WOW card!
Debra created these wonderful cupcake toppers using Sandie’s CUPCAKE TOPPERS TUTORIAL.
Michele created this gorgeous card following one of my tutorials on masking, which you can find HERE.
Steph created this spooktacular halloween card following Sandie’s SHAKER CARD TUTORIAL.
It has been a while since I made one, and I always enjoy them, so I decided to follow Sandie’s BOX CARD TUTORIAL to create a card using one of the new release stamps!

It’s time! The new Holiday 2024 release is now live on the website, and available to order. We’re so excited to see these stamps fly out to new creative homes, and even more excited to see what you all do with them.
Lots of inspiration here on the blog today. You can check out our new ODDBALLS – which previewed first thing this morning HERE. There will also be a Bellariffic Friday post later today, with more fun from the Babes (and a chance to win a $25 gift card).
Let’s take a look at all of the new release! For a detailed look at all of the stamps, you can visit the sneak peek posts, here are the links for those:
Holiday 2024 Release Sneak Peeks Day 1
Holiday 2024 Release Sneak Peeks Day 2
Holiday 2024 Release Sneak Peeks Day 3
You can find all of the new stamps in our WHAT’S NEW SECTION.
That’s everything from the new release! We didn’t release any new sentiment sets this time, so we could fit more images in, so here’s a selection of our sets that I think would work well with all of the new stamps! You can see many of them in our wonderful DT samples.
Here’s a look at all of the Copic videos I have uploaded so far for the release. I will be adding these to the product pages on the website, or you can of course find them all on my YouTube channel as I post them!

Happy crafty shopping, and most importantly: happy stamping and crafting!

We’ve got more seasonal stamping fun for you today, with another set of sneak peeks for the new Holiday 2024 release here at Stamping Bella. So excited to share them with you. If you missed the first day of peeks you can find that post HERE – trust me, you don’t want to miss them!
We have a few more new stamps to show you tomorrow morning. Then the release will be available to order tomorrow from NOON EST (Friday 27th September 2024).
Today we’re previewing the amazing new stamps illustrated by our lovely illustrator Kristin Farnsworth. We were so happy to see so many of you enjoyed her stamps in the last release, especially as we have a few more in those lines for you this time.
We don’t have any new sentiment sets in this release, but we have lots of wonderful choices that will go beautifully with the new images HERE.
Let’s get into the peeks!
The Babes have been having fun getting creative with these stamps, whipping up some amazing inspiration for us. Let’s take a look!
This one is a two stamp set, the cauldron is a separate stamp, so you can arrange a scene however you’d like, and easily use them together with other images.
I can’t resist a haunted house stamp, and this one is just gorgeous, perched atop the book stack. Makes me think of all of the wonderful ghostly tales I love to dive into at this time of year.
Some of my favourite stories involve witches and magic, so I am absolutely delighted by this witchy cottage!
You can watch me colour this image in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
We also have a few new additions to Kristin’s Lunettes collection, starting with this magical guy!
This little ghosty makes me smile with her glasses and that big bag ready for all the treats. Or is she just off on an everyday shopping trip? As you can see from Amy’s card, she pairs up well with the other characters!
We had to have a Lunettes witchy girl, and she turned out perfect! Absolutely gorgeous with her feline friend!
I am an absolute sucker for mushroom stamps. So this new Mushroom Border is one of my absolute favourites from this release. Amazing on its own, or to help set the scene for our other images.
As you can see, it goes perfectly with another new stamp from Kristin…
Isn’t he just the sweetest little guy?
We have just a couple of festive stamps from Kristin, but I think you will agree, they are wonderful!
Isn’t this just magical? Gives me warm cozy feelings, and makes me want to crack open a Dickens novel.
Isn’t she adorable with those freckles? I could just squeeze her…she looks full of Christmas excitement. This one is a two stamp set – our character and the gift stamp are separate so you can use them however you fancy!
Phew! That’s still not everything! I’ve got a few things left to show you tomorrow morning, before the release goes live, so join me then for more crafty eye candy.
MWAH!

It’s time for one of the most exciting releases of the year! Our Holiday release. It’s always one of my favourites, filled with autumn and Halloween fun, and cozy festive winter and Christmas themed joy. This one is no exception!
We have sneak peeks today, tomorrow and on Friday morning. Then the release will be available to order on Friday (27th September) at noon EST.
First up, today we’re previewing the amazing new stamps illustrated by our newest illustrator Amy Glatiotis. You loved her first release with the Spec-Taculars, and we’ve got a few additions to that collection, along with some fantastic new character images!
We don’t have any new sentiment sets in this release, but we have lots of wonderful choices that will go beautifully with the new images HERE.
Aren’t they adorable? I’m particularly in love with the Spooky Cute Banner. Way too cute to actually spook. Amy’s illustrations are just so charming. The Babes have been loving these new stamps, and crafting up some autumn and Halloween magic for us. Let’s take a look!
As you can see, this one is adorable on it’s own as the focal point, but you will see in some of the other samples that it works beautifully with the other stamps to set a scene too!
She’s just full of the joys of the season! A total pumpkin spice latte girl, kicking her way through the fallen leaves in her cozy sweater.
Such a fun little witchy with her spooky friends and her trusty dachshund pal, who is always up for some fun.
Who can resist a little witchy, an adorable pumpkin AND a dachshund? Not me. Especially when there are the most adorable ghosties too. Also, can we just take a moment for the little toadstool on her hat? Love the cute little details in Amy’s illustrations!
You can watch me colour the above scene in the video below. If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on my YouTube channel.
This one gives me such happy autumn vibes! Absolutely perfect for autumn birthdays.
Aside from the adorable Spooky Cute Banner, this one might just be my favourite. Maybe… I mean, who knew a travel coffee cup could be so cute? It’s official – putting glasses on things makes them adorable.
Time for some festive fun!
Festive mice are always fun, and these ones have real character!
This scene just makes me so happy. The details – that little moon, especially! SO CUTE.
A shopping trip is always better with your BFF.
Love the humor and warmth in this adorable version of Father Christmas and his wife sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe!
We just had to have a festive Spec-Tacular, and yep, it’s official, glasses on a Christmas tree are adorable!
Finally we have…
Last but definitely not least! The most adorable pair of penguins enjoying a turn on the ice. This complete scene, like the mice decorating the tree make for such easy but eye-catching cards!
That’s it for our first day of previews! Hopefully you’re as excited as we are for the release. Join me again tomorrow to see more of the stamping fun we have in store for you.
MWAH!
