GLUE DOTS

Adhere bows, wire, buttons and more with these magical adhesive dots. No more messes using glue!

WATERBRUSH
This is one cool accessory! Follow the directions below and put it to use!

1. Unscrew the barrel from the tip of the brush. Remove the small black ring. Fill the barrel with water, replace the black ring and screw back together.

2. Squeeze some water out onto a paper towel by squeezing the barrel holding the water. This will wet the tip of the brush. Blot excess water from the tip onto paper towel.

3. With the brush now dampened, dip the brush in any ink (ink on the inside lid of the ink pad works well) to pick up ink. Begin coloring your image without squeezing the barrel holding the water.

4. To clean, simply squeeze the barrel so that water runs out the tip of the brush, taking the ink with it. Blot on a paper towel.
TOMBOW* BLENDING PENS
These are incredible and so versatile! Look at the different ways you can use your blending pens:

1. Use your blending pen with any of our Close To My Heart® Exclusive Inks™ markers by picking up color from the tip of the colored marker with your blending pen. Color your stamped image in with the blending pen.

2. Take any of our Close To My Heart® Exclusive Inks™ markers and scribble color onto any non-porous surface such as glass, styrofoam or plastic. Pick up the color with the blending pen and proceed with coloring stamped image in.

3. Use the blending pen to pick ink color directly off of any ink pad. Or try this: with the ink pad lid closed, squeeze in the center so that you get ink on the inside of the ink pad lid. Open up and pick up the ink from the inside of the lid.

4. Try the blending pen with your chalks and watercolor pencils.

5. Depending upon the type of paper or cardstock you are using, you may be able to color directly on the paper with 2 marker colors then use the blending pen to soften and blend the colors together. NOTE: The blending pen is especially useful with dark colored inks and/or markers. Because the blending pen is a clear ink, you'll be able to lighten up any color. Also, I'd suggest having one blending pen for each color group such as pinks, blues, browns, reds, etc. 3-5 blending pens should be sufficient. *Tombow is a trademark of its respective owner.
ORGANZA RIBBON
Have you seen this beautiful ribbon on page 133? We now carry a large array of colors matching many of our exclusive cardstocks and B&T papers. Most of the ribbon colors can be used with more than one color of paper, making it a widely popular accessory choice.
PAPER TRIMMER
A staple in the stamper and scrapbooker's arsenal of tools, this handy left or right handed paper trimmer allows you to make perfectly straight cuts with the swipe of a blade. Interior cuts are also possible with the trimmer whereas impossible with scissors. Cuts paper up to 12x12 in size with the flexibility of a swing arm for measuring the larger sheets of paper. .
EXCLUSIVE INKS™ MARKERS
Look at the features of these fabulous markers! Each dye-based Exclusive Inks™ marker is coordinated to perfectly match our Close To My Heart® background and texture papers. No more guessing! They are safe to use in scrapbooks - also ph neutral. Perfect for adding color and embellishment to your pages. They are constructed with a dual-tipped reservoir. This means that each tip of the marker has its own ink supply so if one end is depleted of ink, the other end will continue to work until its ink supply is also gone. You'll want to begin matching your paper and Exclusive Inks™ stamp pads to these wonderful markers!
SPONGE DAUBERS
You'll find these handy little daubers in the new Close To My Heart Catalog and Idea Book. They fit snug on the tip of your finger just like a thimble. To use, lightly tap on ink pad then onto your card. You have lots of control over sponging with these great daubers! They are especially good for filling in open images quickly.
