I LOVE Thickers...I mean loooooooooove. It is a product I actually use on basically every layout. I will say, however, sometimes I wish they had a wider variety of colours available...lately everything is: gold, black, white or pink. Occasionally silver or a multi pattern or stripe. I prefer my Thickers in foam because chipboard needs extra adhesive. I need more orange and yellow Thickers. I actually bought some extra white ones to colour in with copics to change to colours I need. And I need more fun fonts! Lately they have had a lot of similar fonts to "Journal" that tall, thin font. I like it, but I crave variety!

I agree! I just started using Thickers. Currently I am only using them in my National Celebration Day's Series, but I did notice when I was purchasing them that the inventory did seem to lack variety.

I agree! I wish they made more in earth tones for fall, fewer in glitter, and more font choices.

kellyv I do think there is a set out now in Navy...I think it was called Twilight from Poolside. Nice basic alpha font. I like navy too, I get tired of black. I also wish there were more grey Thickers for the same reason...whenever I see grey I buy 2 packs.

Yes, more earth tones and definitely more fonts! They used to do more fonts. Maybe someone from AC will see this as a market research post, lol! |

I like the acrylic puffy ones. I love the cute tall font and they stay on! The foam ones stay on the best but they are too little kiddish for me.
Proof that this is so: my 4 and 7 year olds are always trying to sneak them out of my stash and onto their projects!

A simple, tall, thin alpha in burlap or something natural looking in neutral, earthy tones.
Do they do low-profile puffy sticker style Thickers? I remember getting a navy alpha in a kit once and would kill to have them in different colours.
I realized that I would stock up on Thickers at my M's but rarely use the larger ones. They are simply too big for PL. I think if they scaled them down a little, they'd be more versatile.

I try to only purchase white or light colours now, so that I can colour them with alcohol markers. The foam ones work particularly well.

Has anyone tried using their dies to cut out their own "Thickers" using Fun Foam? Mine didn't turn out (not sure what I did wrong), but I've heard it is possible. Here's an example. |

Freckled Fawn had navy and white foam alphas that stocked up on during a sale. Love those navy alphas! Attachments:

My list would be navy, orange, yellow, grey and green in different fonts and without glitter! The mojority of my thickers are all black, all shades of blue, white, and pink with some gold, silver and a few other colors thrown in there!

scrapperal I haven't tried cutting foam, but I have cut out 3 sets of cardstock letters and glued them together for more dimension. It actually looks pretty good.

Tuesday Morning usually has Thickers on sale. I have bought at least 50 from there in different colors and fonts over the years. Hobby Lobby also has different colors. I also have the small Prima inks that go on like paint. They will cover up a Thicker like nobody's business and change the color. I like to use used packages of Thickers from different sets and color them the same color. It makes a very cute title.

I like the foam Thickers too, but agree that the fonts look a bit juvenile. I wish they made more 'classic' style fonts in general, and less glitter!!
(I also wish they were cheaper, so I'd feel like I could buy them at full price instead of waiting to buy whatever is 'left over' at TM, TJ Maxx, or other discount stores.)

I'd like navy, as well as more fabric ones. I love the texture those add to a LO.

I've done what Mikklynn has done and layered multiple sets of cardstock cuts from my Silhouette to make my own title if I didn't have the right color Thickers. It does look good, just a little time consuming.
But yeah... yellow, navy, gray, kraft Thickers in nice fonts are needed!!!

i would love to have navy foam thickers in many fonts! This. 1000 times this. The only ones I find have glitter on them. Don't get me wrong, I know girlie girls like navy blue as well, but my boys? Not so much. |

Red that isn't glittery. I have an insane amount of Thickers. Insane. It takes 2 milk crates to hold them all. A plain red is surprisingly rare.
