It’s me, Sticky Boy, and I’m here to officially announce that Stampaganza is back! In case you don’t know what that is, let me explain. For every two stamp sets you purchase, you can get one of equal or lesser value for free—free, my friends, FREE!
Now, everyone loves free, but when it comes to Close To My Heart’s My Acrylix® stamps, you’re getting an exceptionally good deal, if I do say so myself. My Acrylix stamps, like moi, are one of a kind. We’re made with special, high-quality materials, which means you can’t find anything like us on the shelves of your local craft store. When it comes to affordable, easy-to-use, and versatile stamp sets, we’re the clear winner. (Ah ha? See what I did there? 🙂 )
Now on to my favorite stamp sets!
As you know, I’m a pretty energetic little stamp. That’s because I guzzle the good stuff. I love the My Acrylix Treats of Friendship stamp set because it just gets me. I mean, it has a donut in it! Donuts are round, sticky, and sweet, like me!
And just like me, these diamond stamps are one of a kind. If you like the ba-BLING like I do, make sure to get your My Acrylix Diamonds Are Forever stamp set. It’s a real gem! 🙂
Now I’m going to share with you something I haven’t shared before—I’m a bit of a romantic. I think the lovey-doveyness of the My Acrylix I Do stamp set is just awesome. I hope that someday I’ll find a Sticky Girl to be my sweetie forever.
Okay, okay, enough with the mushiness.
Because taking over the blog today was so fun, I think I’m going to stick around a bit more. How about a good ol’ game of Spot Sticky? Here’s what I’m thinking: I’m going to sneak into a few blog photos during the month of March. The first person to leave a comment saying where I am will get a Sticky Boy stamp! In order to win, you’ll need to be specific!
In the meantime, tell me below what your favorite stamp set is. I want to hear your opinions! Then stay tuned for later blog posts and try to spot me in the photos.
Good luck!

Hey Sticky Boy! I am not sure if this one eligible but I am taking a chance. I can certainly see you on this page between the diamond and the coffee cup. Who knows I might be able to meet you up close and personal pretty soon. Have a great day Sticky Boy and I am wishing you a great game of hide and seek!
Hi France! Unfortunately I wasn’t hiding in this post, but I’m glad you took a chance on me 😉 I hope you have a great day, too. Come find me later this month on the blog! 🙂
My favorite stamp set is positive chemistry. It reminds me of my favorite tv shiw Big Bang Theory. I also love springtime critters, stuck on you, springtime wishes all with matching dies. Must haves. I hope there us more dies in the new catalog! I would love to see poppy, peonies, and hollyhock stamps in the future.
My favorite stamps are the ones that coordinate with the Cricut cartridges! I love that they fit perfectly on the cuts.
I love those ones, too. It’s so nice that the Cricut® does the cutting for you! Thanks for sharing, Kathleen!
I just love “Spring Time Wishes”, on the SE page 9. I will try to wear it out!!
Oh springtime…it seems to be playing a game of hide and seek, too! I want it to come already so I can go outside and play!
I love the “Always Grateful” I am all about trees. I lost one of the trees on my set, so I bought another one. I Love this stamp set and would like even more trees. Thank you CTMH
I love trees too, Joan. I consider myself a tree hugger, but maybe that’s just because I get stuck to them when I touch them. I’m as sticky as sap! 😀
I love the alphabet stamp sets, especially the handwritten print!
That’s a good one, Rae! Thanks for sharing on my blog post!
Gee! It’s hard to pick just ONE favorite! If I have to then I would have to say that D1560 “Holiday Tags” is my fave. I use the greetings and the tags often on my cards. I love stamps that can be used in many different ways. 😀
What a great idea! I like that stamp set too—maybe because I love getting gifts 🙂
Sentiments are my favorite!
I love sentiments, too! Thanks for the comment, Julie! You are awesome!
Spring Critters from the Seasonal Expressions book!
Aren’t those critters just adorable? LOVE them!
My favorite right now is the Springtime Wishes from the Seasonal Expression Book 1 and the Handwritten ABC!
Great choices, Jen! Thanks for commenting on my blog post. 🙂
E1027 Framework Alphabet – Love them and use them regularly!
Alphabets are so much fun! 🙂
My favorite stamp set is the January SOTM beloved bouquet. I just keep on using it!
Gotta love that base & shade technique, too! They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Now I’m hungry…
Sticky Boy, like you I’m having a hard time picking just one. I am currently in love with Animal Greetings. I love the punny sayings that go along with your cute friends. I’ve found some really fun ways to use them.
I love that stamp set, especially because it helps out Operation Smile. Those punny sayings always make me giggle, too!
I love Sentiments & florals that I can color in. Also noticed my good friend Sticky Boy getting in on the action at the beginning of the blog. Hope we can continue to be friends.
We can definitely continue to be friends, Debbie. 🙂 Have you seen our post about how to color in stamps with the ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ markers? I thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it because it’s super helpful. We also had a post about how to blend the markers so they match our exclusive colors. Thanks for sharing!
Hey sticky boy! My favourite stamp sets are Animal greetings for two reasons? A) it’s adorable and so versatile and b) it supports such a fantastic cause! My second favourite is Ink Blot! It’s just so fun!!!!
Hey Ashley! I totally agree! Those stamps are awesome!
Lots of beautiful memories.
Oh memories 🙂
I love the cactus stamps. And I’d love to see a sticky girl. But then would you still love us?
Of course I’d still love you!!! And the cactus stamps are super fun. They make me want to travel someplace warm and sunny. 🙂
One of my new favorites is Stuck on You…super cute images and snarky phases. Just love how it matches the new Thin Cuts.
I’m stuck on that stamp set, too! 😀
I love treats of friendship stamp set!!!
DONUT! YUM!
I recently came across a stamp called “Love Life”. It’s a must have stamp.
I love the designs and sentiments on that one. Thanks for sharing, Annemarie! You’re da best!
The donut stamp set was a have to have of mine.
Donuts are always a have to have of mine…they keep me nice and round. 😀
Sticky Boy, My favorite stamp right now is Beach Days. The images look amazing with the Regatta papers and stamping the characters on the Cricut cut shapes is clearly a piece of cake!
That’s a great one, and it does go so well with Regatta. Thanks for commenting, Amy! I’m going to go have some cake now…
YOU are my favorite, Sticky Boy!! I also like the Stuck On You set. My mom is growing succulents and I’d like to make her some cards and stationery.
Aw, you’re making me blush, Kelly! Thanks :D. That would be such a nice gift for your mom. Great idea!
I see you sticky boy up there with the coffee cup and diamond. I would have to say my favorite stamp is the I love you latte.
Unfortunately I wasn’t hiding in this post, but see if you can’t find me in posts later this month! I’d love for you to spot me again! I’m glad you like the latte stamp, too. I like a latte latte ;).
Sticky Boy, my favorite stamp set is Spring Critters. That Bunny is almost, almost as cute as you!
Aw shucks, Leslie. Thanks. 😀 I think the bunny is super cute, too!
I love so many stamp sets, but the one I seem to be playing with the most right now is Spring Critters.
Those critters are super cute! I just want one to be my pet. 😀
I have so many favorites BUT one of the latest favorites is Ink Blot (D1660). I love that it is so versatile. Alright Sticky Boy, I’m going to keep on looking for you 🙂
So true! You better keep looking for me, Lucy! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sticky Boy! Since my son is a Marine I love the military and patriotic stamps. I use them to send cards to my son in Japan as well as to other Marines that have been injured and are in the hospital away from their family. They appreciate the cards and I appreciate CTMH for making it possible to make them!
Hi Jennifer! What a sweet way to use that stamp set. Tell your son “thank you” from all of us here at Close To My Heart. And thank YOU for sending those wonderful cards. You are AWESOME! 🙂
Oh Sticky you’re so fun!
My favorite stamp set goes WAAAAAAAAY back ….. so far back I can’t remember the name of it! LOL
Current favorite is the upcoming APRIL SOTM – in fact I’m going to be playing with it tonight. I look forward to keeping an eye out for you Sticky!
Aw thanks, Pam! I love all the different styles of cameras with that one. See you soon! 😉
My favorite stamp is the cacti stamp, Stuck On You! Finally a cacti stamp I can use to represent my desert life! This is my new favorite and is going to be my most well loved stamp.
I love that one, too! Thanks for sharing, Ali! 🙂
I absolutely love, Your Own Kind of Wonderful. Butterflies are my favorite and I love the sayings that are included.
Butterflies are pretty sweet. Thanks for commenting on my blog post, Kim!
I love Treats of Friendship too. The donut is great but I’m a tea granny at heart and love the adorable tea cup and saucer!
That tea cup and saucer are very cute. They’re round and full of joy, like me! 🙂
Hi Sticky Boy! My favourite stamp has to be, what else, Sticky Boy!! I was lucky enough to receive a Sticky Boy in one of my orders and I was so over the moon thrilled!! I screamed so loud, my husband came running to see what had happened!! LOL!! My second favourite would be the daffodil one (and since it is in my craft room and I am nowhere near it, I can’t get the name!) that we had last year. I stamped it with Versa Mark and heat embossed it with Gold then coloured it in. So pretty!
Hi, Janet! Aw thanks, you’re making me blush. 😉 What a cool idea with the daffodil. Thanks for sharing!
I am enjoying the March SOTM, Sunshine Birdies!
That’s an awesome one, Melinda! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
My favorite stamp right now is Springtime Wishes (plus die set) they are just gorgeous!
Hi Helen! I agree, that one is sure pretty. 🙂
Hi Sticky Boy,
Can’t wait to see where you end up, it looks like you had a blast on your cruise. Monica posted a picture of you photobombing on the boat leaving Miami. Hope you remembered your sunscreen!!!
Hi Vanessa!
Yes, the cruise is a blast! And there are still three more days of pure awesomeness! I definitely packed the sunscreen. I’ve got to retain my translucent appearance! 😉
My favorite??? Oh so many but I would have to say I really love the February SOTM Balloon Animals.
I love that one, too. It makes me want to par-T! 🙂
My favourite right now is the Balloon Animals. I have others as well. I just ordered the March stamp of the month and can’t wait to use it. I used the Balloon Animals to make my granddaughter’s birthday card.
That’s so nice of you, Kerry. I bet she loved that!
my favourite stamp is youuuuuuu! I was lucky enough for you to come and live with me last year when you were hiding in orders sent to our homes so you tend to get put on a lot of my pages and cards “cause I love you soooo much!
Awwwww 🙂 Thank you, Robyn! You are awesome! 😀

“Happy to be friends” is one of my most used stamp sets these days. So very versatile!
So very true! Thanks for commenting on my blog post, Sheena! 🙂
Choosing a favorite stamp is like choosing a favorite child. 🙂 For sentiments I find I keep going back to Beyond Birthdays because it works for everyone and I often turn to flowers and butterflies because the colors used also make them very versatile.
Great comment, Brenda! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
It’s so hard to pick just one! But, my favorite of the moment is the Share the Love stamp set. Hope to spot you soon, Sticky Boy!!
That one is awesome! I love doing my part to help Operation Smile. Hope you spot me soon, Michelle! 😉
Definitely hard to pick just one, but I would have to sentiments are my favorite!
They’re a classic, just like me! 😀
Sticky boy I see you forth block in from left in picture. My favorite stamp set is Look to the light.
Hi, Linda! Unfortunately I wasn’t hiding in this post, but keep checking back with the blog in March to spot me! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your favorite stamp set with me!
Hi Sticky Boy! Choosing one favorite stamp is tough, but havevto say I use my sentiments probably the most!
Hi, Debra! Sentiments are great. They get me all sentimental. 😉
Love our new watercolor paper. Stamping on it & using our new watercolor pallet is beautiful & fun.
I agree! 😀
Hi Sticky Boy! One of my favorite stamp set right now is S1512 Candlelight Garden Stamp of the Month! I just love the little jar!
Hi, Ronda! I love that little jar, too. It’s clear and cute, like me. 😀
Howdy Sticky Boy! From Houston Texas where it is rodeo time! Maybe you will show up on March 19th at the Seasonal Expression 2 launch. After all you are my favorite stamp set. Especially when you were in Dallas Texas for convention. You look so cute, ( I mean tough and rugged). I just can’t seem to catch you.
Hi, Nedra! I’m flattered. 😀 You are too nice. Keep following the blog during March to spot me!
