It's finally Friday, and we have an excellent way to send you into the weekend: The reveal of DIYThickers (that's right, create your own!), plus Wow! Glitter, Spark! Tinsel and Pop! Microbeads that happen to work beautifully with these new Thickers, and other adhesives, too, of course. (Like our This-to-That Super Sticky Red Tape. Good stuff.)
So let's get started, shall we?
Creating project-specific Thickers is now as simple as 1-2-3 with American Crafts DIYThickers. Simply peel away the adhesive cover, sprinkle on an embellishment (we suggest Wow! Glitter, Spark! Tinsel and Pop! Microbeads, naturally), brush away the excess, and voila! A unique Thicker perfectly paired to your project.
Perfect for use with new DIYThickers — as well as any other project — American Crafts new Wow! Glitter, Pop! Microbeads and Spark! Tinsel are a cut above, bringing colorful texture to any crafting endeavor.
Wow! Glitter adds dazzling color and dimension to projects, with 18 colors of fine glitter and nine colors of chunky glitter to choose from. These little bottles of loose glitter create a big finish that's impossible to resist.
Spark! Tinsel proves that this twinkling embellishment isn’t just for the Christmas tree. In nine beautiful hues, Spark! Tinsel is easily applied with adhesive to any project, creating the most shimmering finish available.
Color has never jumped from the page like it does with Pop! Mircrobeads. There are nine fantastic colors to choose from, each creating a textured and elegant finish like no other.
What do you think? Tell us which of the DIYThickers fonts is your favorite, and which embellishment you'd pair it with (Wow!, Spark! or Pop!) and on Monday, Jan. 23 we'll pick a winner from the comments to win a prize pack of all these goodies!
I can't pick one to be my favourite I LOVE thickers so which ever ones I can get my hands on I buy!!! I would use the SPARK I think it would really Pop!
I love all these products can't wait to get my hands on some!!!

Love this! I would use those last thickers with the Pop! microbeads! Looks like so much messy fun!

OOH! I love the POP! What a great look that brings. I love all the fonts, but the blocky one you used on the layout is probably my favorite. Not sure what the name of it is.

These are fun. I love the last font. Adding the WOW! glitter would make the scrapbook pages of my dd really stand out.

I love the fonts that are nice and round or a little bit whimsical - and I'd love to see that Spark! in person! Looks like a great idea!

AMAZING idea!!!
Posted by: Jen Gallacher | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 08:50 AM
Oh my gosh! What a fantastic idea! So many of us have been altering Thickers already but to have the perfect fresh canvas to start with is wonderful! I like to use paint and glaze on mine and I prefer the more playful fonts for boy pages. Thanks, AC!

Love the idea of DIY Thickers! No way can I pick just one font I love using all the different Thicker fonts! I think pairing them with the POP! Microbeads would be amazing! Can't wait to play with them and thank you for the chance to win some!!

Love, love the microbeads with any other the thickers. You guys always come up with the best ideas.
Posted by: Susan McGrann | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 09:15 AM
Ooh, what a fantastic idea! I love and would probably use all of them, but I think the microbeads would be really unique and look very cool.
Posted by: Gwen L. | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 09:16 AM
So cool! I think I tend toward more scripty fonts, so probably Wow, but I'm so intrigues by the Sparkle....I would want something a little thicker for those. So, so fun!
Posted by: Miriam Prantner | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 09:25 AM
I am a Thickers fanatic so I would have to have them all!! The microbeads are SO pretty and such a cool look!
