The Bella Wish Guide to Hand Stamping 

I am thrilled to bring a dream and an idea that I have been brewing for a long time to life. The Bella Wish Guide to Hand Stamping is a reference manual that will assist you step-by-step in crafting your own hand-stamped creations based on my experiences with my shop Bella Wish.

I launched Bella Wish in early fall 2008. The idea for Bella Wish was conceived while I was pregnant with my first daughter, Isabella, and is named after her. I launched my business while Isabella was only four months old. Since that time I have expanded my business to selling online as well as in retail boutiques. My necklaces are worn near the hearts of women globally – one of my favorite stories was hearing about a customer who was eating lunch in a Chicago restaurant while on travel wearing her necklace and her server was also wearing a Bella Wish necklace and they connected over this. So randomly wonderful for a creative biz shop owner to hear.

Few things bring me more joy than hearing how a simple piece of jewelry can brighten someones day ~ a few happy customers thoughts listed here. If this kind of connection inspires you, this guide will show you exactly how to go from hand-stamped necklace idea to implementation.

2012 is year of transformation and growth, this winter is a perfect time to go within and implement some new creative ideas of your own. This guide will offer you a way to bring to life to some of those ideas that have been gestating with you, as well as be ready to offer them in the new year. I can’t think of a better way to create some new energy in our creative lives by giving ourselves permission to try something different. If you are looking for a new way to express yourself creatively as well as create abundance from your offerings then this tutorial may be what you are looking for.

I created this guide to help others take those first steps. When I was first designing my jewelry and launching my business I spent weeks researching the how-to’s and spent many more weeks learning by trial and error. This guide was created as my way to help you save countless hours and take immediate action so you can begin creating some of your own magic through hand-stamping.

I cover every detail in this 40+ page guide and over an hour’s worth of instructional video. I will walk you through each step so you see exactly how I craft a necklace from beginning to end, giving you the tools to craft your own designs.

This tutorial comes in two sections:

Part I

How to create hand-stamped custom jewelry

Telling your story through design

A list of resources for supplies, tools, and materials that I have found to be useful including hyperlinks. This document alone represents countless hours of research all in one organized place.

Here is what people are saying:

A heartfelt thank you…recently, I purchased your hand stamping guide. It has been a heart whispering to try, but I always seemed to find/create/invent/you name it all sorts of self-imposed limitations to set in my way. Today I watched your lovely video and when it finished, I felt so inspired with ideas calling out to me. Thank you for sharing, thank you for putting this out there, thank you for sharing your gift, your art with the world.  ~ Suzanne Sperl

This has been put together so beautifully, and for a STEAL. I’ve been wearing Stacy’s jewelry for years now, and each piece has had a transformative effect on me. Last year I wore “trust” all year, knowing my ways, I had her also stamp “always” on the back-for the times when I would try to talk myself out of it (often). This is a powerful tool for creating your own medicine and wearing your talismans with supreme consciousness. THANK YOU, Stacy. This is such a gift! ♥ ~ Pixie Campbell

Hi Stacy. It feels as if I spent the day with you. The tutorial is truly fantastic. I love it, especially your casual, easy-going, imperfect style. I am making my big order tomorrow. Can hardly wait to add this art to my life. Thanks a million. ~ Jan Veith

Your Bella Wish hand-stamping guide is amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! After my first day of stamping, I just had to let you know ♥ ~ Brandi Marie Little

A few FAQ’s:

 How will I receive my guide once I purchase it? 

Once your purchase your Bella Wish Guide to Hand Stamping it will immediately be delivered to your email inbox and ready for you to download. No 24-hour waiting period, no delay. 

Will this guide give me tips on how to sell my jewelry?

No. This guide is not a business guide, if you are looking to start a business then this guide will not help you. This tutorial is a creative how-to guide to hand-stamping.

Will you take checks or money orders?

Since the entire transfer of the pdf to your inbox is automatically done online once payment is made, I am only able to accept payment through PayPal.

I learn more visually than I do by reading and seeing photos, will this guide really help me?

Yes! I am a visual person too, which is why I have made instructional videos as part of this guide. There is over an hours worth of instructional video included with your purchase.  Though I think it only fair to mention that I don’t have a video production team so the videos are not slick, and in some parts are pretty goofy even. But I think that is what makes them real and fun. Like the message of my jewelry, there is beauty in the imperfect.

Will I be able to use this guide with metal clay?

Yes. Metal stamps can be used with all types of metal.
