Introducing My Acrylix®





See the possibilities of creating with these wonderful stamps, where expression is made easy and everyone’s an expert.

Our premium-quality stamps are offered at a fraction of the cost of rubber, yet deliver all the benefits and beauty of every Close To My Heart product you’ve come to know and love. They’re easy to use, simple to store, and most importantly, offer creative control and artistic precision every time you use them.

Our exclusive clear blocks allow you to see exactly where the stamp is placed and whether there is even coverage of the ink. You can choose a block that perfectly fits an individual image, or design your own “scenes” by placing multiple images on a larger-size block. You can also manipulate the stamp images on the block to create curves or waves. Stamps have a “memory,” and will always go back to their original shape.

My Acrylix® stamps are made of a softer substance than rubber and don’t require as much pressure when in use. My Acrylix stamps provide the same results when used with embossing products, markers, watercolors, and more.

If you're just beginning your My Acrylix stamp set collection, remember to purchase the recommended My Acrylix block that goes with your stamps. A great money-saving option is our My Acrylix Block Starter Kit featuring four of our most versatile block sizes. If you're unsure about which block size to purchase, contact your Consultant for assistance.

Creating Cards

I enjoy creating cards as its fun, relaxing, and most of all it distresses me...

Last year my cousin Gina Chun, a real estate professional in Hawaii asked me to make some custom cards for her to send to her clients. We designed a custom made stamp for her with: for your referral, from your real estate professional Gina Hara Chun on it. The custom stamp is used to stamp on the inside of the cards.

Last year I made Thank You for your referral, Happy Anniversary on your home purchase, Sympathy, Happy Birthday, and Congratulations from your home real estate professional cards. This year I made Thanks for your referral and Thank You cards.

At first I was asked to make them in purple and with ribbon. Then later in any color. Each of those three cards were created using the same paper pack.

Here's what I came up with using Close to my Heart Products.
