It’s STAMPING BELLA’S SUMMER RELEASE SNEAK PEEK DAY 1 and a chance to WIN !

Helloooo my sistahs! Well we haven’t had a release in a long while and you can just imagine why.  This pandemic has wreaked havoc in everyone’s life and as frightened as I still am, life must continue with great caution of course.  We are still working on a lighter staff so bear with us for shipping and delivery.  I just needed to have this release now as a cheerup LOL.. SO please remember our shipping may be a bit slower than usual.. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THAT!  You NEED to see this release OMG.

Over the last year or so I decided to learn more about spirituality.. nothing of religious affiliation,  just some positive mantras, a beautiful collection of crystals, creating a place for me to meditate in the house.. just a little “sacred” space for ME.  I love burning sage to clear my space, i love having a diffuser on.. some candles burning.. it grounds me and helps me calm my anxiety that I have suffered with since I was young.  I have a few new “tools” in my toolbox that has taught me to STOP worrying about what’s going to happen and to just enjoy THIS MOMENT because we will never have it again!  So that’s a little bit of what I have been up to and usually my stamps do reflect my mood, my stage of life, me humor.. there is always a bit of me in every stamp.   I also think we all need a little “WOO WOO” and magic in our lives!  So without further ADO.. let’s begin the TORTUREPALOOZA shall we? First we have our GOOD VIBES sentiment set.  Did you know that our Elaineabella creates all of our sentiment sets?  Not only is she a master colorist but she is a woman of many words! LOL..  I LOVE all of our sentiment sets do you?  Just read them.  They are awesome! next we have our CURVY GIRL COLLECTING CRYSTALS.. like really can you even?  You can colour the crystals any colour you want!  Rose quartz? check! Tourmaline? CHECK CHECK!

Curvy Girl Collects Crystals Video

Elaineabella is sharing her Copic marker colouring video for our new Curvy Girl today! If you enjoy watching please do like the video and subscribe over on her YouTube channel.

  19. This is a terrific new release! Love both sentiment sets and the hippie oddball definitely takes me back to my youth!! Love!

  20. Haven’t all the protests lately clued artists in that you shouldn’t color every single person stamp as a White person? Nor should stamps reflect just White women’s hair. Very few artists color people images as People of Color. I realize these stamps were produced before the protests, but please think about future releases. I got tired long time ago of all the White people stamped images that are commonly seen from stamp companies, which is why I stick to mainly animal images. And, yes, I’ve asked other companies about this long time ago.

    1. Hey Laura. Elaine here – please take the following as my personal view, not representative of Stamping Bella as a company. This is simply representative of me, as the person who colours the images.

      I don’t have a lot of time for identity politics, and I don’t carry it into my work. Let’s be clear that I won’t be told what I should colour or how I should colour based on someone else’s politics, any more than I would tell anyone else what they should or should not colour.

      Colour what you want to see. We all have the freedom to create what we want to see in the world, or to create what reflects our reality. There is no reason you can’t take any of the stamps and give them any skin colour you wish. You can easily adapt the hair – I know that Sandy Allnock for one has some wonderful tutorials for and examples of this. The images are really a blank canvas for YOUR imagination. We have some awesome Stamping Bella fans from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, colouring the images however they wish, and creating beautiful projects with them.

      Telling someone else what they ought to be creating is far less productive than creating what you want to see.

      With all that said, there are a couple of very simple and completely non-political answers for you as to why I most often colour Caucasian skin-tones.

      1. Darker skin tones are harder to colour (at least to my satisfaction), by nature of the fact that Copics can have a tendency to get sticky, particularly the darker E markers. It’s also why I have a tendency to colour similar hair colours quite often. When I colour a release, I colour anywhere from 20 to 40 images in a relatively short space of time. This is why you will notice I also tend to use the exact same skin tone combo almost all the time – I know it’s going to work. I would absolutely love to get more creative and play with more options for lots of different things for releases, but time pressures are a reality. This is also why when I colour for the new releases, I don’t tend to colour backgrounds.

      2. Colouring product images to scan for the website/product packaging is different to simply colouring for myself. I have to take into consideration how the image will scan and how well you can see the detail of the stamp. This is also why I don’t create a lot of embellishment for the images, or do creative things like create patterns on clothing that don’t exist in the line art.

      I have coloured images with a variety of darker skin tones. I did two posts and a video on this a couple of years ago to help inspire people. A few of the comments I received across social media reinforced my feelings on this and many other issues. You absolutely cannot please all of the people. Some people feel you don’t colour enough dark skin tones – that’s a problem. Some people feel you coloured a particular skin tone too dark, or too light – that’s a problem. You don’t employ quite the right words to describe those skin tones – that’s a problem. Cultural appropriation, tokenism, etc etc etc Frankly, all of this doesn’t encourage anything, it actively discourages and separates.

      This week I coloured an image from another company with one of the very dark combos from my above-mentioned posts (linked below). I haven’t shared it, purely because I don’t want to get entangled in the current political situation.

      1. Elaine Hughes, I Love your unbiased outlook! Politics need to stay out of our creativity. You are fair-minded without prejudice….that is a good thing! Have a wonderful day!

      2. Throughout history, artist create what they know and experience. Writers often write from their own life. Be YOU…and continue to create beauty for our world!

  21. Yay! Release day! I absolutely adore the Oddballs and the sentiments are wonderful. The Essential Oils Curvy Gal is perfect!!

  22. Definitely need that sentiment group with the encouragement phrases–the world needs my kind of weird..

  23. Omgosh! Loving the yoga Mochi girl and sentiments. I can see this release is going to be expensive! Lol! Can’t wait to see what your amazing DT made for tomorrow x

  24. Wohoo, they’re all so lovely! But I need need need “Curvy Girl Loves Essential Oils”, “Curvy Girl Collecting Crystals” and “Oddball Smudge and Crystal” – I’m so in love!

    Hugs Elchi

  25. Hi Em! Another fabulous release! I had no idea Elaine is the queen behind the sentiments..that’s a fun fact! All of the samples are fabulous. It’s hard to choose a favorite but the Curvy Girl Namaste is my fav this time around. Hope your little crystal corner of the world helps calm you during these crazy times. Have you been watching Housewives?!! You need your sage after an hour with the ladies haha!

I am really loving those Gnomes!

  70. Wow that Yoga girl can stretch! Good release. I love Stampingbella. They have good customer service. I bought two stamps and a die a month ago or so and I wanted to combine them together to save on shipping because I bought them separately originally and your customer service contacted me and made it happen. Thanks for bending over backwards for me (lol like your yoga girl stamp)!
    I won’t forget that type of customer service which makes me know I will be back in the future for more of your stamps (especially the gnomes ones, they are my favorite)! Cuddos to you, StampingBella!

  71. I simply adore those two Odd Ball Girls. Would love a chance to play with them, thanks for the opportunity.

  75. Amazing job as usual. As a 70’s kid, I particularly love the Oddball hippie. I remember making some moccasins from a craft kit. My mom had some with fringe =)

  76. I love your Oddball stamps and the perfect sentiment to go along with them – the world needs your kind of weird!!

  77. I am in love with all of the oddballs, but these new yoga, meditation, oils and calming oddballs are awesome! The sentiments are perfect! Thanks so much for the great inspiration! Mwah

  78. Love, love, love Stamping Bella! This new release is wonderful. Both oddballs and yoga and the sentiments arss great for so many different occasions. Can’t wait to see the entire release!
