We have more to share with you today from our Spring 2012 release. Let's start with a favorite of just about everybody: Thickers!
Twelve new varieties are joining the ever-growing Thickers family. In four fonts and four finishes, these crafting staples are the epitome of unique. Printed chipboard Thickers resemble book pages, cork board and burlap; DuoTone Glitter Thickers provide unbelievable sparkle in pink, blue and black; Foil Thickers are stylish and classic; and Holographic Thickers bring life and dimension that’s out of this world, resembling the sparkle of sequins.
(We don't have photographs of all the Thickers, but we were so excited to share them with you, we couldn't wait! We put the artwork in place of photos, so go ahead and imagine their brilliance.)
