The Stamping Bella team aka the Bellariffic Babes are sharing more fantastic new Stamping Bella dogs stamp sets today. I’m sharing a card featuring both stamps from a set that is particularly special to me. I’ve also got another colouring video for you, showing how I coloured both images from the set.
If you’re a dog owner, or have been, tell me something about your dog(s) in the comment section!
Staffie & English Bull Terrier rubber stamp set
If this isn’t your first visit here, or if you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I have a thirteen and a half year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. This is Taika, my little trooper. Incredibly, she’s still plodding along after dealing with some serious health issues in the past five years.
That should explain why I’m so thrilled about today’s previews!
Staffie & English Bull Terrier Card
I used the Garden Backdrop stamp to set the scene, and added a sentiment from the onlyGretchen stamp set. I stamped the images on my favourite Make it Colour Blending Card before colouring with Copic Markers.
The Staffie stamp reminds me of another Staffie, my Mum’s dog Jessie who sadly passed away in 2018 aged fifteen. She was another sweet girl full of character and love. The other Staffie in this photo was my Dad’s dog Finley – he was amazing, and I have many fond and often hilarious memories of him.

OH is this cute!!! These dogs are adorable!!! I had a corgi until about one year ago…she was almost 14 and her body just gave out. She would wait for me by the door when she knew I was coming home from work….and she always knew when I just needed a cuddle. She was a great dog!
Hi Theresa! Lovely to hear from you. So sorry for the loss of your girl – she sounds wonderful. I have a soft spot for corgis too – those ears! Thank you for sharing.
A whole family of Staffies. A breed I’m not familiar with but they must be a great breed since you and your family have (had ☹️) them. And for what appears to be a fairly large, eh maybe medium breed they sure do live for a nice bit. Glad that despite Taika’s ailments, she’s still here with you. They remind us to never take life for granted. Hugs.
Thanks again Vanessa! They are a wonderful breed. Not large – medium sized. Taika is about 15 to 16kg.
