Close To My Heart

My Acrylix stamp sets are a very affordable alternative to stamping over rubber stamps, and yet quality is not sacrificed. The stamps, as well as the mounting blocks are clear, allowing you to see exactly where you are placing your image. They come in sets, so for the same price as many single rubber stamps purchased at a craft store, you can get several acrylic stamps.

Another benefit is that the My Acrylix stamps are light and compact, making them easy to store, The My Acrylix storage containers will hold fifteen sets of stamps and the container is small enough that it can be stored in a desk drawer or cabinet.

The acrylic is a softer material than rubber, allowing you to use less pressure when stamping an image. They can be used with inks, markers, embossing powders and a variety of other art mediums. Clean up is a snap. A quick spray with the My Acrylix Spritz on the Double Scrubber and a quick wipe with the stamp and it is ready to be put away.

Affordable, convenient, easy to use! What ever did I do before I discovered these?

I love the Close to My Heart exclusive papers. The colors of both the white-core cardstock and the double sided patterned paper are perfect matches to the ink pads and markers available with Close to My Heart. There is such a vast array of different colors and patterns that there is certainly going to be somethin to suit every taste. There are coordinating stickers and embellishments, making every page beautiful and perfectly matched.

The papers come in three level kits:
1. The first level is excellent for beginners. The paper has pre-printed layouts. All you have to do is add some embellishments, a stamp or two and some photos and voila...you have a beautiful page.
2. The second level is an assortment of cardstock stickers that coordinate with the pages from both the first and third levels. These are beautifully thick pictures and I enjoy using them on a variety of different crafting projects, such as photo frames and album covers.
3. The third level is an assortment of solid colored cardstock and patterned papers, again all matching. This level is for crafters of any kind. I like to use them to make cards, scrapbook pages or any other paper crafting I may be doing.

Close to My Heart has so many different embellishments and I love them all. One of my favorites is the ribbon. I am a big fan of crossgrainribbon, as I love to stamp it and ribbon always adds to a page or a card. Paper flowers are something that I certainly could not do without. I like to color my flowers to match my project and flowers can also be used in a variet of different ways.

Some of the many other Close to My Heart embellishments that are available are: sparkles, tags, acrylic accents, rub-ons, buttons, eyelets, brads and many, many more.

When I am not feeling great about one of my pages, often all it takes is to add a couple of embellishments and it is likeable again.
