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!
First one in the third row and whichever capital letter card goes with it. I am a teacher and HATE it when people use only small letters or only capital letters. I like this font because I make pages for my three granddaughters, and I want them to have a font which is easy. Would use them with Wow!
Posted by: Bev Gardner | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:04 AM
LOVE these! Too many great fonts to choose from... but I think my favorite embellishment is the WOW (although a flocking powder would be great too -- hint hint!)

I really like thickers! I have tons! I am loving the DIY piece to the stickers. I would use the spark/tinsel! FUN! (Risk of being booted out of all of your giveaways. I have a question. Have ya'll come up with a solution to the adhesive issue? Adhesive Thickers do not stay "stuck" to my pages, much less to the sheets they come on. Thrilled by this new release but I am worried about the adhesive issues I have had in the past.) This issue hasn't stopped me from using the letter; I just have to add additional adhesive to the back. Thanks for reading.
Posted by: Lisa M. | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:09 AM
I love them all but if I have to choose, the 4th font in the first line of thickers is beautiful, and I would use it with glitter; great idea and great colors by the way!!!!
Posted by: Luz Maria Martin del Campo | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:38 AM
These look really fun! But knowing how "good" the adhesive is on thickers I don't think I would get these... but the idea is awesome and I would totally try this on thickers I already own!
Posted by: Natalie G | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:51 AM
What a fabulous idea! I love them, and how perfect to match them in with my own colour schemes. I love the Wow! glitter anyway, so this is really just an excuse to get more. Top row, third font, is one of my all-time favourites and would just look brilliant with the glitter.
Posted by: kate bucci | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 10:44 AM
i love all those fonts, but the first is my favorite. I think it's a great idea to have customized thickers! Smart thinkin' AC! :)
Posted by: Amy | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:00 AM
Okay I love 'em all but if you are making me pick I like the styles of 3, 5, 10 and would love to try them with the microbeads. FYI: I really like this idea of designing the texture and color to the need of the project. Cool stuff American Crafts.
Posted by: Debby | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Love, love, love the tinsel! Oh my gosh it is fabulous!!!
Posted by: Doreen | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:14 AM
I would use Sparks on the last font in the first row. Although, I would love to have all this!
Posted by: Michele S | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:18 AM
OMG! What an awesome idea!! I can't read the font names, but the bottom right is my favorite, followed by the top left font! I love all 3 toppings, but I would be excited to try Spark! because it is different from anything else I have ever tried! Very cool!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Jill | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 11:31 AM

Oh it's so fun, i love it. I want all of them.......
Posted by: Sophie J | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 12:50 PM
Can't pick a favorite font but I'd use WOW! on all of them!!!!
Posted by: Natalie | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 01:04 PM
This is absolutely the best idea yet! I would absolutely use them with the glitter.
Posted by: Debbie Donovan | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 01:05 PM
No font names here but I like the curly one - middle left - and I would team it with Pop! microbeads.
Posted by: Amanda Jane | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 01:19 PM
I love this. Can't wait to get my hands on the glitter!
Posted by: Kerri Norrod | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 01:38 PM
I love all the thicker fonts and I would use the sparkle that looks awesome!!!
Posted by: Janet | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 02:04 PM
Oh wow how fun! What a fantastic idea! I love all all of them but would probably use Pop the most but adore the look of Spark! :)
Posted by: Carin | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 02:23 PM
omg what a great idea! I love all the fonts, I can't choose.
Posted by: Mandy Szeto | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 03:32 PM
I'm not sure the font name but the right column, middle set is my fav and I've never used microbeads on something like this but think that would be really cool. LOVE the idea of DIY thickers and can't wait to try them out!
Posted by: Jennifer Blomquist | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 04:10 PM
Awesome, I totally dig making my own thickers! Can't wait to finish my layouts with my own thicker creations!
Posted by: Shelley P | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 06:05 PM
This is so awesome!! I have thickers in every color/material imaginable....creating my own would be so much fun!
Posted by: Brenda W | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 06:36 PM
i would love to mix a few colors of spark! on the poolside font, it's one of my faves!
Posted by: miss morgan... | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 07:25 PM

Posted by: sharon gullikson | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:10 PM
This idea for Thickers is brilliant.I love the last font on the right in the first row.And I'd have to "WOW" it up.
Posted by: NanaBeth W | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:27 PM
Rootbeer Float with the teal glitter... <3
Posted by: HeatherC | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:29 PM

Posted by: Karen Quinn | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:41 PM

Posted by: Bernice | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:46 PM
Love these! My fave font is the one in the lower right corner, and I think I'd go for spark, love the texture of it! thanks for the chance.

Fabulous idea! Can't wait to try this and have some fun!
Posted by: Alex | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 03:05 AM
Love Thickers, especially the more whimsical fonts like Lullaby, Jewelry Box and Sprinkles!
Posted by: Caroline | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 05:56 AM
This is a fantastic idea. I love that you are bringing a customization to Thickers! One of my favorite font style is the written script in the first row. I've noticed that some designers use this style of AC thickets a lot and I like the look. I'd really like to try the POP beads.
Posted by: Jeannine H | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 06:04 AM
POP! is my absolute favorite and how could you pick just one of the Thickers? I love them!!!
Posted by: Patricia Bryngelson | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 06:54 AM
As I prefer smaller alphas, the one to the right in the middle row must be my fav. i would love to sprinkle it with micro beads!
Posted by: Hilde/Scoobie | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 07:24 AM
Whoever came up with this idea for Thickers deserves an award. Absolutely my favorite reveal so far. But the glitter is a close second. :)

Posted by: Andrea Niemeier | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 08:50 AM
The font in the top row second from the right is my favorite! and I would love to try a gradient effect using the three Wow! sparkles in blue, turquoise and green. Thanks for the chance to win! One of the best ideas I've seen in a while.
Posted by: Christina | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 08:51 AM

Fantastic textures and bling to be added to thickers! The Spark! would be perfect for my July 4th layout I'm working on now and who knows how many future projects!
Posted by: Jan Garber | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 12:07 PM
They are all soooooooooooo cool!! My favorite font must be Macaw, it is CUTE!! And with the POP-Mircrobeads, in all the pretty colors they must be amazing!!
Posted by: BellaMio-Ulla | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 12:22 PM

Posted by: Sherry Murphy | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Um - wowzers, I'm all over this! I'd totally use the SPARK on the Thickers on the bottom right. They'd go perfectly together!
Posted by: Brittney A | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 01:44 PM
I would pair that typewrite font with the microbeads. This is an awesome "invention"- DIY Thickers! Who woulda thunk it?
Posted by: photochic | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 02:02 PM
I love all the Thickers fonts!! Huge fan of Thickers! I think a WOW would be my go to bling to add to a page, but POP would make a close second!
Posted by: Tasha Zismer | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 02:34 PM
Oh, yes! The Spark is my kinda thing!
Posted by: Tom's Mum | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 02:34 PM

Posted by: Court's Crafts | Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 04:56 PM
