Here's a little sneak peek at some of the goodies we've been working on for CHA Winter...
Seeing all the new products come in is super exciting for us (comparable to Christmas morning) but we can't help but wonder what you, the user, would like us to create.
So, if you could have one American Crafts Christmas wish, what would you wish for? Hopefully you can see a wish come true in this sneak peak of new products but if not, let us know what would be the perfect gift under your AC tree.










Oh my word. I love the sneek peak you guys! I see GLITTER! Yay! ;) My American Crafts gift that I would want under my Christmas tree is a notarized letter saying that I am a lifelong member of your DT. ;) Think you can swing that? Pretty please? I've been good. Well, mostly good. :) Happy Holidays to you all!

I wish for more chipboard fonts...can't get enough of the chipboard!
Posted by: Colby | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 02:12 PM
How about AC stamps?! I would LOVE that :) The glitter on your sneak peek is also making me happy!

more thickers
Made out of every material imaginable. Maybe even chocolate. Yeah, I'd buy chocolate Thickers...
Posted by: Joni | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Oh I'd have to say Thickers, in every color imaginable! And every texture! Or even blinged would be nice, a girl always like ice for Christmas! I never seem to have enough Thickers, and they are not easy to come by w/a drive to a LSS! Hopefully Santa will be good to me!!
Posted by: Charity Sorrells | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 03:56 PM
Paper lines: christmas-love the trad. christmas colors!, Baby, and celebration. Glitter markers and thickers-I only have one sheet in white and pink and I love them, want one in every color.

Thickers....and then ummmm... thickers..... followed by thickers!!!!!
Posted by: Lee | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 06:04 PM
I would like some American Craft flowers...maybe a chipboard line or just regular flowers that coordinate with the papers.
Posted by: Shannon | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 06:19 PM
I am going to be cliche and say World Peace. Call me Sandra!
Posted by: Lisa Jamerson | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 06:45 PM
I love your flowers, minimark rubons and anything glitter..
Posted by: Paola Norman | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 07:18 PM
OMG, glitter thickers? Super! Those are definitely the ones for me. All the colours please.. :)Happy Holidays, guys. Hope your holidays full of glitters too.
Posted by: vita | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 08:34 PM
oooh...glitter thickers would rock!
Also I'd love to see thickers packs of just vowels. No matter how many packs I buy, I just never have enough vowels. So that would be fabulous!!
Posted by: Kelly | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 08:51 PM
Love the glitter thickers, and the new fonts. I would have to say a line of organic/nature inspired paper (dandelions, seed pods, trees, birds etc), rub-ons and maybe wooden thickers made with wood veneer. Also wood grain paper.
Posted by: Erin W | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 09:01 PM
PS you could call it "Log Cabin"
Posted by: Erin W | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 09:02 PM
a kraft paper line with kraft outlined thickers to match.
yum!!
xo
Posted by: kerry lynn | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 09:59 PM
Making my own chipboard stickers so I can coordinate with pattern/solid paper from AC! Or a mix/match selection in a box ready for me to use [or to buy from as if I were buying in bulk!]
Posted by: Shelley | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 10:11 PM
stamps would be cool and you know I love thickers :)
Also the life-long DT membership is a dream of mine too.

Do I see glitter Thickers??? If not it would be soooooo amazing if you could make..
Posted by: Maria Theres | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 11:25 PM
More thickers!! Make some glittery ones, pretty please? I've been glittering mine up myself until now and it looks awesome!
I'd love thickers in different sizes too - then it'd be possible to mix and match between sizes of the same font. I'd love that! :D
Posted by: Zarah | Friday, December 07, 2007 at 11:37 PM
to scrap like your design team
Marie
Posted by: MarieB. | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 01:43 AM
My wish is that HL would carry more Thickers than just black and white! It is the only store around here that has them and the selection leaves a lot to be desired! I guess you can't do anything about that so... how about more mini albums and sheets of journaling spots?
Posted by: Jill | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 07:21 AM
Glitter!! Very cool.
I'm with Marie on the Christmas wish....bring on that DT job!! ;)
Posted by: emily (justem) | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 09:17 AM
I LOVE the glitter!!! :)
Posted by: Petra | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 01:35 PM
loving the peek!! aahhh! so exciting !!
my wish: even more thickers, stamps and flocked/textured paper :)
Posted by: waleska | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 04:08 PM
It's all about the THICKERS for me baby!! In all colors and textures possible! more felt, fuzzy, glittery!!!!, and woodgrain sounds cool! they're all good! always make the page, --gotta agree with the other poster who never has enough vowels, just need packs of those to use up all the extra consonants.
Keep up the good work, such an exciting peek!!
Posted by: Amanda V. | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 09:55 PM
Yummy yummy. Is that bling bling I see, Thickers style? Woohoo!
Posted by: Linda Barber | Saturday, December 08, 2007 at 11:16 PM
I would love some thickers that are a similar font to the Kate Rub-ons. And Jack. And Eddie. Pretty much all of them!
Posted by: heidi | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 06:51 AM
love the idea of extra vowel/most commonly used letter packs. I would also love to be able to buy your papers in collection packs rather than all just in single sheets.
can't wait to see what you're coming out with!
Posted by: Julianna Connelly | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 08:48 AM
My biggest Chrismtas wish is to see and and ALL of those fabulous Thickers under my tree! I love your fonts, and textiles, and colors. So cool. I would also flip over AC FABRIC! I think so many of your papers would transfer so nicely to fabric papers or just fabric rolls. Stamps would be cool too... I just love what AC does already so more of the same amazing stuff would rock!
Posted by: Meredith Taylor | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 09:25 AM
More flowers or wedding stuff in the brown motif!!
Posted by: Annie | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 12:22 PM
My wish would be for Thickers because I love alpha stuff and ribbon. Lots of AC ribbon!
Posted by: Abby | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Oh, this is an easy one!! THICKERS in any colour, shape or form! I love love love love love them!!! Can't get enough!
Posted by: Nicole | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 01:50 PM

Posted by: joy | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 03:17 PM
fabric thickers would be really cool!
Posted by: DoBea | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 03:34 PM
or acrylic thickers would be really cool, too!!!
Posted by: DoBea | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 03:35 PM
more and more THICKERS!!! i am completely addicted. seriously. i see people have suggest fabric? YES! acrylic? YES! more fonts? YES! more frequently used letters too please...i have had to borrow a lot of "y's" from people.
it would be cool to have matching thickers to some of the paper too. ooo would i love that.
Posted by: marie | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 03:41 PM
i mean with pp prints ON the thickers by the way...so patterned thickers.
Posted by: marie | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 03:42 PM
We have to pick? Well if I can't have it all, I'd have to go with the
entire Playhouse collection in felt,plastic, and chipboard!
Posted by: Beth Williams #2906 | Sunday, December 09, 2007 at 09:27 PM
Thickers, thickers and thickers!!! Any shape any style... but thickers!!
Posted by: caroline | Monday, December 10, 2007 at 12:05 AM

Posted by: Amanda | Monday, December 10, 2007 at 03:59 AM
Looking good! I would wish for lots and lots of Thickers...and some more beautiful papers...literally cannot wait to see full reveals of the new CHA stuff!
Posted by: Stephanie Baxter | Monday, December 10, 2007 at 05:52 AM
Bling Baby! I would love any type of sparkle. Thickers are another fave....more fonts/colors.
More paper too...one can never have enough American crafts patterned paper!
Posted by: Charmaine | Monday, December 10, 2007 at 08:28 AM
well, since you asked:)
I agree with the log cabin idea, that was a good one! And I would love to see more colors for thickers, tiny thickers and STAMPS!!! And maybe more multi color rubons.
Paper Die Cuts: like journaling panels...and shaped papers...those would be fun too!!
I am a big fan of foam thickers, I like those and I like the fuzzy thickers. I am excited to see glitter thickers.
You guys always come up with great ideas, I am excited to see whats coming!!!!!!!
((((hugs))))

I'm really liking the papers I've seen here, wow, and the LO are awesome too!
Posted by: Lee | Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 08:17 PM

I would love to see mutiple colors of thickers in one package, like a package of three alphas, same font, different colors..mega packs?? YES!
Posted by: Jessica | Friday, December 14, 2007 at 09:30 AM
I love your ribbon, but I concur with some of the other posters on the thickers! Some smaller fonts would be nice to work larger words onto cards.
Posted by: ohradiogirl | Friday, December 14, 2007 at 09:08 PM
I love the thickers and paper! Oh and those chipboard shapes!
Posted by: veronica | Saturday, December 15, 2007 at 12:11 AM

Posted by: rebecca s | Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 08:13 AM
Your "Thickers" Rock!!! Just used them for the first time- I love the "Platform" line- they are so classy and really finish off a layout. Who has time to paint and finish chipboard? My wish would be for more colors and textures(glitter!!) in this style- and a sampling of all the other styles under my tree!! Love your papers too! Happy Holidays!
Posted by: Irene Grubb | Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 08:40 AM
love the thickers. More thickers in shapes (punctuation/brackets, leaves, frames, etc) and how about something faux bois? I am loving woodgrained things right now.

Posted by: Katie | Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 10:14 PM
Thickers always make me happy.
It would be great if you would could come up with some transparant letters that are as thick as the foam ones. Now that would be awesome!
Nancy
Posted by: Nancy | Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 11:36 PM
Can't wait for this to come out - Clear Thickers would be great
Posted by: Diana | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 06:06 AM
My wish would be for those new booklets of alphabet stickers. AC has the BEST fonts, and the best stickers. I also love the Metropolitan line, I even framed some to hang in my office they are so great. I'm excited to see the new lines!!!!!
Posted by: Lisa | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Looking sooo fresh, can't wait to see it all!!! And uhm Santa...could you please pretty please make mini dacquerie thickers too? I love them so much that i would be the happiest girl on earth if dacquerie thickers came in several sizes...
Posted by: Mandy | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Felt, velvet and canvas D Ring albums - those would be amazing. Also, it would be great if all stickiness on thickers were created equal... I have had some bad luck with the vinyl thickers... However, I still am obsessed with them. xoxo Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Jessica Turner | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 01:52 PM
My Christmas Wish would be to be a member of your contributing Design Team!
Posted by: AW | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 02:58 PM
I would love if AC made some fuzzy rub-ons. I love how those look.
Posted by: Catherine Bodine | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 05:44 PM
Oh that would be so cool. MINI thickers to add to the bigger thickers.
I am loving the raw chipboard thickers. I can make them match anything now. I would also love to see differnt designs in the felt. It just seems so hot right now and AC felt shapes are so easy to use.
Posted by: StaceyM | Monday, December 17, 2007 at 09:09 PM
Ok, that peek is a bit tooooo much for me...as I see glitter letters! Holy everything that is letter stickers! I can not WAIT to see these come out!
Posted by: Molly | Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 04:20 PM
I would like the sticky issue to be solved also so that my vinyl and velvet thickers would stick! Of course I'd also like to see MORE different colors of thickers. I do like the pale colored ones just out but need more BOY colors! Hi... My name is Angela and I'm an American Crafts addict always looking for my fix of Thickers!
Posted by: Angela L. | Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 06:40 PM

Posted by: Casey Lu | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 06:37 AM
More Thickers! I love them, I'd like a lot more of the smaller fonts, more colors, more fonts.
I'd like to see an equivalent of the felt borders, but in the Thickers material, I'd like a lot of shapes i Thickers foam.
Posted by: Mysmasken | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 08:18 AM
