Decorating Chipboard Embellishments

Chipboard is a wonderfully versatile product, whether it comes as a chipboard album, chipboard embellishments and die cuts, or chpboard shapes that you cut yourself from.

chipboard embellishments can be decorated in so many ways. If you can think it, you can probably do it when it comes to this product.

Possibilities include covering your chipboard with paper, card stock, fabric, foil, net or even photographs. Alternatively, you can color it with paint, stamping inks, marking pencils, colored pens, pastels, decorator chalks, glazes, crackle or almost anything else that leaves a color.

Trims can include stamped images, stickers, rub-ons, beads, wires, ribbon, fibre, tags, charms, metal embellishments, hand writing, glitter and so on

You can also sand chipboard and punch or drill holes in it -- allowing you to attach tags, charms, sewing, wire,beading or other trims.

Naturally, chipboard shapes, letters and die cuts can be used in other paper craft projects as well as scrapbooks. You can use them for greeting cards, altered books, altered art, or for other projects.

Chipboard and Chipboard Alternatives

Chipboard is a type of paper product often created from reclaimed paper. It is not necessesarily acid free or lignon free, although some manufacturers are now making this product specifically for the scrapbook industry.

If you do not have chipboard, or if you acid free and lignon free is not a requirement, you can often substitute mat board of the type used for matting pictures.
