Spotlight On The Woodsies Rubber Stamps at Stamping Bella

Hey all! Elaineabella here today with a fun new feature here at Blogabella shining a spotlight on some of the treasures in our collection of stamps. Last week we took a closer look at the Cool Chicks line, with all their crazy antics. Since they do have a habit of popping up everywhere to create mischief, you may even spot one or two of them today. 😉 If you missed that post click through and check it out: Spotlight On The Cool Chicks Rubber Stamps at Stamping Bella.

Spotlight On The Woodsies

Today I’d like to shine the spotlight on a wonderfully sweet collection of stamps that was introduced last year. They can be soft and sweet, but also a little quirky and humorous: THE WOODSIES.

We’ll start with my absolute favourite from the collection: Gilbert Has a Snack.

When I was little I had guinea pigs, and rabbits but the guinea pigs were my favourites. They are the sweetest little characters that chatter away, so I’ve got a total soft spot for Gilbert. Look at those little feet poking out under that watermelon slice. JUST LOOK! So much cute, I cannot. And the bee. I have a soft spot for bees too. I’m a sucker for cute, ok?

Here’s a card from yours truly. I just thought it was such a perfect image for a sweet little “just because” notecard. Now I’m feeling like I may need to colour little Gilbert again soon.

Another stamp from this line that I’m particularly fond of is Petunia and Penny Take a Break.

They are just so cute and roly-poly. They look like they’ve just been “pigging out” together and are taking a break hanging out under the flowers trying to recover. Yeah, we’re on to you Petunia & Penny.

Here’s a card from our fabulous Sandiebella. So pretty! As you can see, The Woodsies are perfect for both clean and simple and more detailed layered cards alike. Be bold with colour or go for soft and sweet, it’s all good!

Speaking of soft and sweet, have you seen Bedelia the Bunny?

Such a sweet, pretty bunny. She comes with a lovely “thank you” sentiment as you can see, but she works beautifully for all sorts of occasions.

Look at this lovely card by Tracybella. Love how she’s given Bedelia pink cheeks, and that little pink nose, oh my!

Here’s where you will see some familiar little faces… Nice to See You Petunia.

Just what do those chicks think they look like? The second one from the left, with the big round glasses? He’s an idiot. Look at him. Absolutely clueless. You may remember him from last week’s post, where he’d wandered into Sage the Scientist’s lab. I imagine he wanders into a lot of situations, completely oblivious. Love it.

Here’s a gorgeous card by Stephabella. Perfect paper choices!

We also have some beautiful festive stamps in The Woodsies range. Petunia loves Christmas is my favourite, so cute with that wreath!

Petunia is really, really happy about Christmas. So happy she’s fallen asleep in a wreath. 😉

Look at this beautiful card by Kerribella. Love how she’s echoed the gorgeous bow in the image.

Warm and Fuzzy Penguins comes in a close second for my festive favourite.

This is one of those images which is ridiculously cute PLUS there’s a little subtle humour. Take a closer look – that poor penguin being rolled into a snowball with his little feet waving in the air. The one on the right is just waddling along, all happy with his warm and festive hat. He’s got no worries, well, until he clocks that giant snowball headed his way. How many penguins are going to get taken out by that thing?! The two in front don’t care, they’re in loooooooove and they’ve got a huge scarf big enough for two. 😉

Love the non-traditional colours Shelabella chose for her card. Pink trees!
