The "C" word...

Yup...you guessed it!! CHIPBOARD!!! If you don't have it...you need it!! and if you DO have it...you're probably wondering what the heck to do with it!!! Well wonder no more!! Over the next couple weeks, I'll be dropping an idea or two on the millions and zillions and trillions of things you can do with this wonderful stuff!! (ok...maybe a dozen or so ideas...but that's still alot!)


First...Here's what you'll need for most of the ideas that lie ahead!!













Sharp craft knife
Bone folder
Glue stick
Glitter
Patterned paper
Pencil
BG File set (or nail file/sand paper)
Mod Podge ( or liquid glue)
Paint (any kind)


There may be a few extra things you'll need here and there, but I'll be sure to cover those things as we come to them :) Soooo without further delay...here's idea number 1!!


Idea number 1:


Cover with Patterned Paper...AND GLITTER!!!








I will post the step by step shortly, so in the mean time...why not check out the previous post and make sure to leave some feedback and ideas on what you'd like to see for classes :)
Happy Scrappin Scrappy People :)

I'm so glad you're posting about this! Chipboard just confuses me. I paint it, I trace it...I've tried covering it in PP but it never looks good. Is the file set the secret?

There are a few tricks to getting it right and the file set sure does help :) I'll post the step by step later on tonight and hopefully it will help to de-mistify the process :)

I purchased the file set at the October crop and have been using it ever since...I Love It!!!!

Actually I think Hollee sold me on it back then also...hehe
