EYE#3: Chip Away at Your Chipboard

Hi everyone, Jennifer here!

It has been a great start to the EYE (Exhaust Your Excess) challenge blog! So much inspiration! This week, I challenged myself to use at least three types of chipboard on a layout and at least 10 pieces in total. I have so much chipboard; I am overwhelmed by it sometimes!

It is interesting when you think about chipboard – there are so many different kinds, shapes, sizes and ways it can be modified, including:

♥ Naked (plain brown)
♥ Inked
♥ Sprayed
♥ Glittered
♥ Stamped
♥ Pre printed
♥ Embossed
♥ Die cut
♥ Painted
♥ Distressed
♥ Covered in paper

In my first layout, I used glittered stars, pre-coloured chipboard letters and chipboard that had been pre printed by the manufacturer. In total, total 21 pieces were used up from my stash! This is a picture of Kareinal Official in concert a few years back at an event put on by Coca-Cola. Such a great performer!

Supplies:  Bazzill Basics Paper card stock; Rouge de Garance paper; Scrapworks and Kelly Panacci chipboard; American Crafts Thickers; unknown bottle caps.

Here’s a few close-ups:

Here is another layout I did with multiple pieces of chipboard. In this layout, I sprayed the glasses black and backed them with pattern paper. Once again I used Thickers for the title and other pre printed pieces of chipboard.

Supplies:  Simple Stories paper; Crate Paper chipboard; American Crafts Thickers; miscellaneous buttons.

Here are some other links to articles and ideas for chipboard…Please play along and show off how you use YOUR chipboard!
