At the request of a member of my ScrapperCreations list, I am posting photos that show how chipboard cut with a cutter can be used and what you can do to the pieces to use them in projects.
I glued paper on after cutting out the chipboard, filed the edges, inked the edges, ran the piece through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder and covered it with Crackle Accents. I spread the Crackle Accents with my finger and let the piece dry overnight.
I used the same techniques for this piece and the next piece.
I don't remember the name of the paper collection, but it was by Fancy Pants.
Note that the scalloped piece was cut from recycled plastic packaging and I cut the same shape from matching paper and put it beneath the clear plastic. You can see some white swirls next to the heart -- these are white Staz-On ink stamped on the plastic.
The smaller blue and red hearts and I Love You are rub-ons. I dressed up the letters a bit by doodling dots with my white gel pen.
This project was a special Valentine's card I made for my husband.
Examples of Chipboard
In 2007, I started crafting and combined my computer skills in using software to design cutting shapes to decorate my scrapbook layouts, make home décor pieces and much more. I love to share by teaching others how to use the software for their die cutting machines so they can get the most out of their toys.
I never thought to run a piece of chipboard covered with paper through the cuttlebug. I really like the look. Thanks for the tip. Your pieces look great!
ReplyDeleteHow thick is your chipboard? Using the cuttlebug with chip is inspiring me to try it as well. Thanks for the tip
ReplyDeleteThe chipboard is cereal box material :)
