Step by step - Chipboard
Step 1: Use glue stick to completely coat the side of the chipboard that you want to cover and press it onto the wrong side of the patterned paper.
Step 2: Using a bone folder, pencil or something equally flat, - ooo - a ruler would work too! Burnish the glued paper in place to make sure that the excess glue gets smooshed out and that the paper completely contacts the cb. This will avoid air bubbles and nasties that make it come off when you try to sand it :)
Step 3: Use a very sharp craft knife to cut around the chipboard. (wait about 10ish minutes or so for the glue to dry a bit before starting to cut.)
Step 4: Using a BG file set, file all around the edges of the chipboard. This will ensure you get a very clean edge. Be sure to file away from you with the patterned paper facing you (hope that makes sense) You can use a nail file, or emery board as well...but it doesn't do as nice a job as teh file set.
Step 5: Once the edges are filed clean you can stop and use it as is...or to continue with the glitter, apply a thin even coat of liquid glue to the entire surface of the patterned paper covered chipboard.
Step 6: Generously pour glitter all over the glueey chipboard. Wait about a minute or so for the glue to set up and then tap off the excess.
Step 7: Enjoy!! You're done!!!
That's all there is to it!! Hope it was helpful :)

Thanks Hollee!
And speaking of craft knives, I have an Xacto but I'm a total spaz. I've seen adds for a new finger knife from Fiskars. Any chance Nic will be getting some? Has anyone else seen these yet?
Oh my I saw that in I think it was the Canadian Scrapbooker or was it Scrapbook Etc....can't recall. But I was thinking oh how cool is that. As soon as I see them out to order we will get one for me and one for you for sure lol.
Hey Hollee,
Just wanted to add my two cents in for those people who may be looking for another way to use glitter on chipboard. Instead of putting glue over your pp, stamp it with versamark and add glitter or embossing powder and then use a heat gun :o)
Just another suggestion for those gals out there that have stamping supplies and are looking for another way to use them
