Dress It Up!

Dress It Up!

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

No matter what your scrapbooking project may be, you’re sure to find a chipboard shape or letter to create  the perfect accent.  I choose the board that I wish to use first.

Next, I select what paper coordinates with the project or I create my own patterned paper using card stock and stamps .

I use the chipboard shape as my template, and cut the paper at least 1/4″ larger than the chipboard.  The 1/4″ is needed when I sand the paper.  Perfect cuts aren’t too important, as the imperfections are sanded away into smooth edges every time.  The paper is then adhered to the chipboard using a 2-way glue pen.

Once the glue dries, I lightly sand the edges of the paper to meet the edges of the chipboard using a sanding block.  The chipboard gives my projects outstanding dimension and visual appeal!
