Techniques for using chip board

Hi all! Kelli here with a  tutorial which is all about chipboard! Here we go!!

Chipboard Covered With Paper

MATERIALS NEEDED:
1. Adhesive sheets (a retired product from CTMH that I purchased sooooooo many packages of when the retired) or any adhesive of your choice.
2. Dimensional Elements from CTMH, otherwise known as Chipboard! In letters and shapes.

3. Finishing Files by CTMH were the perfect tool to finish the edges of my letters. You can use your
favorite sanding tools!

TRY IT YOURSELF!


* Trace your letter or shape onto your adhesive sheet
* Trace your letter face down onto the "wrong" side of the paper you're using to cover your chipboard
* Adhere the adhesive sheet to the chipboard
* Adhere the paper to the chipboard
* Use your finishing tools to file off the excess paper around the edges of the chipboard

If you are not using adhesive sheets, use the same tracing method directly onto your paper and follow the remaining steps adhering your paper to the chip board with an adhesive of your choice.

Co-ordinating 3D letters for you Project is easy and fun!

Chipboard Sponged with Ink

Flower Tutorial #1 - Paper Peony

Peonies are beautiful full flowers that start as tight balls, which are opened with the help of ants and other insects in your garden, and open into stunning soft flowers.

You need three scalloped circles (size depends on you size preferance-the larger the circle the larger the flower) and one strip of paper scalloped at the top.

punch or free hand cut your scalloped circles (3)

at this point if you wish you can sponge colour onto your flower

Cut inwards between each petal

take a rounded tool, I just used a kitchen spoon and start at the outside of the petal (laying on a soft work matt or a mouse pad) and pull inward, it will round the petal upwards and in toward the centre

take the flower in your hand and squish the petals inward toward the centre and release

use the same technique with your tool or spoon to curl the petals on the streight paper, then petal by petal rool the streight paper to the end.

place one round flower on your work surface, put a drop of your favorite glue  ( mine is liquid glass by Close to My Heart ) in the bottom of the flower, set in your next flower, more glue, your third flower, more glue then your rolled piece.  Again squish your flower together and hold it for a minute.

Then you have a lovely Paper Peony for you next project!

Inspired by " Things I have and don't know what to do with"

There are Three Items I have large quantity of and have used

very little, because I was feeling uninspired by them.

But sitting at my scrapbooking table tonight a "light blub came on"

using them together, I have endless inspiration!

1. Adhesive sheets (a retired product from CTMH that I

purchased sooooooo many packages of when the retired.

2. Dimensional Elements from CTMH, otherwise know

as Chipboard! In letters and shapes.

3. Finshing Files by CTMH were the perfect tool to

finishe the edges of my letters.

I placed my letter top side "down" and traced it on the "Adhesive sheet",

the I took the side of the opposite side of the "Adhesive sheet" off and

adheared it to the "back" side of the paper, (NOT the side you want to show",

I cut the letter out with sizzors, and took the second side of the "Adhesive sheet"

off and stuck it to the letter, then I used my finishing tools and worked the edges

of the paper down around the letter, it is actually ok to cut a smidge extra

around the letter to pull down with your "finishing tools".
