I have a cabinet drawer of alphas. There are Thickers scattered throughout the different brands. I use what I have when appropriate but I haven’t bought any in a long while.

I jokingly say I have a thickers addiction. There for a while I was collecting quite a few. I've used some and sold some in a crafter's rummage sale. I did keep some and still use them occasionally. I do love them but I forget to use them and then they just sit and take up space.

I don’t have many Thickers. I have a metric ton of old CM flat alphas, and save money by not buying Thickers. I have a few Thickers that I’ve picked up along the way, but not many. I generally don’t like spelling out words (it’s too tedious) so I prefer premade titles, and I also hate when Thickers don’t stick!

I enjoy my stash of Thickers, but I am really trying not to add to it. They are very expensive and never have enough vowels. I now try to use alpha dies and foam to make my own.

I do like them but I don’t have a huge stash. I’ll use them sometimes because I do like the look but since they’re all pretty much the same size sometimes I want larger or smaller alpha sets or a special color. Then there’s always my alpha dies sets so it just depends on the layout.

Um - yes! Still love thickers. However, I've been buying fewer because I do have a decent number of alpha dies now.
But I've been switching more to "thickers" by other companies - like the pink fresh puffy sticker alphas, and the doodlebug puffy alphas.
What I DON'T like about current AC thickers:
- alphas often only have 5 Es. Won't buy.
- alphas are often multi-coloured (either each letter is patterned/multi, or each letter is a different colour) and I don't find those versatile

I still use Thickers, but rarely the AC branded ones anymore; like others have said, I am put off by the price and multicolor packs (which look so cute in package but are so hard to use). Lately, I've been investing in some alpha stamps.

I've never thought they were worth the price, but I'm cheap, so there's that. I own one set of thickers that have lost all their adhesive.

Nope. I make my own with dies and die cutting machines. I can customize them, have all the multiple letters I want, and use the tons of paper that I have. IMHO, Thickers are also too expensive, and the adhesive is terrible.

I love thickers! I prefer the foam ones as those never seem to need additional liquid adhesive. I usually buy 2 of ones I really like. I hardly ever buy words or shapes, just mainly letters/numbers.

I hate that they lose their stick. It’s a nope from me as I slowly use up what I have, which is a shame. Also hate the lack of vowels.

Yes....I have a lot of Thickers - but not 3 crates full - maybe one crate full. Most of mine came from being a member of various kit clubs for 10 or 15 years. Most monthly kits included a pack of letter stickers of some type. I only bought a few Thickers at the LSS's (which are all closed now) HL and M's. I was a late adopter of die cutting machines, but eventually wound up with a Cricut, a Silhouette/Cameo, a Quickutz, and a Big Shot all of which I use a lot now. I find the Thickers (and alpha stickers) harder to use, but I still try to find one that works before cutting a title with a machine.
