For the Love of Thickers

I am loving Thickers right now! 
 
Usually, I am a simple sentiment kind of girl when it comes to card making.
I prefer, short, clean sentiments that don't take up a ton of space on the card.

Bu then I found Thickers. I'd seen them before but never paid any mind.

Then, on my most recent trip to my favorite crafting store, I saw a 50% off sign above the Thickers rack...

12 packages of Thickers later...here I am with today's post!

Two super simple cards with big sentiments that scream "Look at me!!!!"


My first card features the Background Basics: Sheet Music stamp from PTI.  


My next card is completely stamp-less. I used my 1" circle punch to create a bright & simple pattern on the cardstock. Then I added a simple Thickers sentiment.



Now go get those Thickers and get to crafting!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

    LOVE these cards Amber! The sheet music is perfection with the sentiment in between! The colorful circles are so fun! Love me some Thickers!

    Both cute cards with fun colors! That's a clever card with punched circle and no stamps :)

    Both cards are great but I LOVE the bold combo of the first card. You've inspired me to stop hoarding (and start using) my Thickers. TFS

    What fun! I have about 3 packs of thickers hanging around the joint and have yet to use one. I feel thoroughly inspired now to go and see if I can locate them and perhaps love them up a bit. Both of your cards are so lovely. I particulary love the very mod, 60's looking colors of the second. Fab cards!

    I have some thickers I think I'm going to have to pull out now!
    LOVE your cards. I love that bright pink and music note one, really catches your eye. :)
