Chipboard flower used on a handmade card.If you’re a scrapbooker, you’ve probably used chipboard to embellish your projects.

If you’re like me, however, you have a drawer full of chipboard pieces and have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

Here are a few things to help give you some ideas…

 

First off, I want to admit that I have used patterned paper to cover chipboard.  That is about all I could come up with.

I know that painting chipboard pieces with acrylic paint would also be another way to use them, but seriously – who has time to wait for paint to dry?

Chipboard can also be expensive.  Because of that, a good friend of mine is constantly ‘on the hunt’ for ridgid cardboard that can be used for making her own chipboard pieces.  The thick board that comes on the back of a pack of cardstock is her favorite, and it’s free (if you’re buying the paper anyways).

If you’re not a great freehand artist, look around for things in the house that can be used for drawing out your design – a drink coaster or bottom of a cup for a circle (use a shot glass for smaller circles). A great idea for things like a Christmas tree shape would be a cheap cookie cutter.

Use a sharp craft knife to cut out the design or a die cut machine if you have access to one.

These videos will show you more fun ways to use chipboard in your scrapbook projects:

About Us

SuzieI don't buy greeting cards or holiday cards anymore -- I make my own! I also do some rubber stamping and scrapbooking. But mostly I enjoy creating handmade, one-of-a-kind cards. I’ve been an avid crafter for most of my adult life. My crafting addiction started with cross-stitching, then moved on to wearable art, projects with painted wood, fabric crafts, and then paper crafts — which has transformed primarily into card making. I also make the occasional wreath, snowglobe, and other holiday crafts.

LynnetteI'm a lifelong scrapbooker who's been documenting every moment of my life in pictures... for decades! I currently have 171,285 photos saved in 6,034 albums online (backed up in 3 different locations). I switched from old-school photo corners and thick paper binders to archival quality tape and Creative Memories albums after college. To me, there is absolutely nothing better than preserving your life's memories in photographs... and scrapbooks! Then I added rubber stamping and cardmaking to my craft talents... followed by candle making, paper crafts, and other DIY projects. When I'm not crafting, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
