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.
 

• 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.

Dotty For You...Good Luck Card

Today's post again features some beautiful artwork that the Close to My Heart art department created with the Dotty For You paper pack and they call it Bonus Artwork because it isn't featured on the color guide that comes with your paper pack.

Good Luck Card

Neutral Inks for a Clean Look
To create a card with a clean, crisp look, use the dominant neutral color to stamp your sentiment.
Yo-yo Accent

Create a trendy yo-yo element by accordion-folding a long strip of cardstock every 1/4", adhering the two ends together to make a circle, stitching the center with thread all the way around, and pulling the ends of the thread taut to create a yo-yo. Secure the center with a button to keep your yo-yo flat.

Dotty For You...Banner

I loved how the Close to My Heart art department created this sweet Mini banner using the Dotty For You paper pack, so I thought I would share it with you for today's artwork post.

Kylie Banner

Paper Ribbons
Create your own ribbon from your favorite B&T paper. Cut a strip of paper a little less than three times the length you want your ribbon to be. Mark or score your strip in segments as follows: 1/2", 1", 1/2", 1", 1/2", etc. Starting at a 1/2" scored end, make two folds going away from you, then two folds coming toward you, then repeat until your ribbon is complete.

Ribbon Accents
Thread a long ribbon through the banner holes and then add some flair by tying small bows or knots to the ribbon in between each pennant using baker’s twine or Waxy Flax.
