Techniques for Stamping on Chipboard!

There are so many things you can do when using stamps and chipboard together!! here are just a couple of  ideas for you to try…

First, we are going to use a sentiments stamp and repetition.

I chose a set of nesting chipboard from Magistical Memories. The outer part and inner part, I misted both with RED Maya Mist. The middle frame I painted black.

Once these were dry, I then dug out my LINES OF LIFE stamp set. I used the large center chipboard for my stamping.  I chose the SENDING YOU SINCERE THANKS stamp, inked it in black and began stamping in straight lines starting in the middle of the chipboard. I moved the stamp to the left and right so that the wording was spaced over the chipboard. I covered the entire piece using this technique.Then, I nested all three pieces back together. Now you are ready to create something with your customized chipboard!!

And here is a simple card I made using my stamping technique!

Here for my second technique, we are going to try embossing and using a cloud stamp to make a design throughout the entire piece of chipboard!

Again, I chose to use nesting chipboard from Magistical Memories. This time, 2 hearts are used.

Using the WISHING YOU SUNSHINE stamp set (one of my favorites!) I chose the cloud with the flourishes on it. I inked it with clear VersaMark ink and stamped over the entire piece of chipboard. It is ok to overlap some, but try not to do it too much. Do this step quickly as we don’t want the ink to dry.

Next, generously sprinkle entire chipboard piece with embossing powder and heat et it until melted.I then chose a red glimmer mist to fill in the rest of the bare chipboard. Remember, the embossing powder is now going to act like a resist, so only the bare chipboard will soak up the mist. I used a paint brush for more control.

Notice that i was not too fussy with  … it gives a really random and fun look without the need for perfection!

Now your stamped chipboard is ready for use! I layered patterned paper underneath and here is the card that I created with it!

So there are 2 fun techniques to do with your stamps!! Can’t wait to see what YOU create using stamps and chipboard!!
