Adding Dimension to Chipboard Shapes

One of my most used myStamp BOX stamp sets is “Border Lines“.  This set if full of versatile shapes that offer endless possibilities for stamped projects.  One such idea is adding dimension to chipboard shapes.  I made this card awhile ago and am ecstatic to report that it made the cover of the June issue of Cards Magazine.

To give your chipboard tree a little something extra, all you need are a few supplies.

Step 1:  Color your chipboard shapes with ink.  I prefer ink to paint as it is much quicker and less messy.

Step 2:  Stamp a series of “leaves” in green on green cardstock.

Step 3:  Cut out your leaves and curl them slightly on one end.

Step 4: Adhere them to the top of the tree.

This same idea could be used on any of your chipboard shapes. Think adding dimension to flower, birds, etc.  Hmmm…that gives me another idea.  :)

Until next time, happy stamping.
