It’s FREEBIE Friday…and it’s all about Chipboard!

by

Welcome to the first “Freebie Friday” on (Scr)apropos. This is your opportunity to WIN scrapbooking products. And today, it’s all about the chipboard.

Chipboard is a hot item in today’s scrapbooking world. It allows you to add dimension to your page without adding too much bulk. It’s a relatively inexpensive embellishment which makes it an easy “go-to” choice for taking your layouts to that next level.

What is chipboard? Think of the backing on a notebook or the cardboard that comes with your page protectors to keep the package sturdy. Chipboard is basically thick fiber pressed paper and is often made using recycled paper.

Chipboard in it’s “naked” form is the basic brown cardboard color we’re familiar with. You can use it just as it comes or you can dress it up. Use your craft paints to tie-in your chipboard with the photos/paper that you are using. Use your stamp pads and embossing inks to add even more dimension. You can also cover your chipboard with coordinating paper, again creating a beautifully tied in embellishment for your layout. If I’m choosing this method I prefer to use a simple glue stick to give full adhesive coverage to the piece so that the paper lays nicely. Stay away from wet inks as they tend to muck up the lighter weight papers. Once you’ve dressed it up you can sand the piece for a wonderful aged look.

Chipboard also comes pre-decorated in every shape, size and theme you can think of. And today’s prize giveaway is pre-decorated chipboard from Heidi Swapp. You will receive 2 theme packages…Summer and Winter. Each includes titles, letters and frames. And if the colors of pre-decorated chipboard don’t go with your photos or the papers you want to use then just decorate them as you would the naked chipboard.

Pictured below are the 2 sets you can win today. How do you enter? Simply leave a comment with your name and state. All names will be thrown into a hat and I will post the winner tomorrow morning. Check back as I will have you email me if you have won. Good Luck!

    I’m so sorry…It’s been years since my last scrap-fession. I feel so guilty.
