CTMH's My Acrylix® Stamps: Did You Know??

My Acrylix® stamps are clearly the best in the stamping industry, giving you incredible creative freedom loaded with possibilities. 


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

Our premium-quality decorative 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 three of our most versatile block sizes. If you're unsure about which block size to purchase, contact me for assistance.




Did you know?


  • My Acrylix stamps are ready to use right out of the package—no cutting out, mounting, or applying stickers required. Just place the stamp on your block, apply ink, and you’re set!
  • My Acrylix stamps and blocks are clear, making it easy to stamp in exactly the right spot.




My Acrylix stamps can be used to create a variety of popular looks, including:
  • base and shade stamping



  • creating your own patterned paper




  • sponging on multiple inks for single-impression, multi-color images

Many My Acrylix stamps coordinate with Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge shapes, giving you lots of creative possibilities. 

Cut the shape on your Cricut® machine, stamp the image on the shape, and attach to your project! 

In the Idea Book, the images outlined in red coordinate with Cricut® shapes.




  • My Acrylix stamps are super easy to maintain, store, and transport.


Close To My Heart stamp sets can be purchased from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book and the Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book.

Secure the center with a button to keep your yo-yo flat.
