Thanks for the great ideas – this is the first year of teaching for our daughter and I know she is going to use these ideas, for herself and her classroom kiddo’s.

Hi, Laurie1
Thanks for the reminder that most of us have everything we need in our stash to make our own custom letters…sure saves us money! As I was watching the video, I was wondering when making letters from the design paper and double sided sticky foam, couldn’t you remove the top protective layer, adhere the design paper, and then run that through your die cutting machine? Seems like that would save the fussy step of adhering them.
Thanks for all your great ideas!
You make beautiful and fun cards!

Thank you for a very useful video. You often have such helpful hints & ideas.
jan butler says
I was thinking the same as linda m. You may have to run it through twice to cut all the way through, but a much easier method.
Cindy McCool says
I’ll never buy Thickers again! This is Soooooo easy thanks for thinking of it. Now if I can only get my hands on this foam as you are sold out.
Lindsey L. says
How fun is this?! Not only do I think it is fun, but my toddler would love them as well.
kim b says
Great video, I like all the options!!!
Laurie says
Yep! Any pattern paper, glitter, metallic, etc….they all work fabulously!
Laurie says
Yes! All those pattern papers or glitter papers make it a step easier! The sky is the limit really! Even stamping on the paper and then die cutting. So many possibilities for your own personal Thickers!
Cindy Thompson says
Thanks for the great ideas. It was very hard to hear you but the music was loud enough.

I love the frugal side of this! Thanks!
Bonnie T. says
Making my own foam stickers was so much fun. I love experimenting with new techniques. I even added felt to my stickers! It took an extra pass or two through the Big Shot, but worked surprisingly well.
Mona Pendleton says
Thanks for the wonderful inspiration and for the fun challenge!
Luanne Ford says
Are we supposed to only enter one card now? Just checking to see if I read this somewhere or not???
Helen F. says
I was wondering the same thing as Luanne.
I read about entering only one card on this MIM and a previous challenge as well.
