Crafter’s Companion Rock-a-Blocks
With a twist on the traditional acrylic block, Rock-a-Blocks
put a new spin on stamping.
PRODUCT REVIEW
pros With two curved edges that encourage a gentle
rocking motion, these blocks make it easy to evenly stamp
acrylic designs, preventing ink bleed. Each set comes with
four sizes, so you’ll have the right block for any stamp.
cons On the smaller block, it’s easy to get ink on the
rockers, which will ruin the stamped image if you don’t
catch it.
bottom line If you’re an acrylic-block pro, it’s probably not
worth making the switch. But if you’re just starting, give
these blocks a try!
