Welcome to the world of chipboard one of scrapbookings most popular and versatile products. The Booya Girls will take you though 10 fun and easy chipboard techniques that you can easily try on your next layout.

|
| 1. Paint & Glaze – cover chipboard with acrylic paint then top with Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents this will give your chipboard a nice dimensional look just like I did with the word “wish” I my title. |
|
2. Ink & Glitter – to achieve the glitter look on the heart on my layout I first dabbed the heart in ink and then covered it with a liquid adhesive while still wet I covered it with glitter.

|
3. Chipboard as a pattern – the stitched hearts on this layout were made by using the chipboard heart as a pattern. Simply use your paper piercer to punch out a pattern from your chipboard and then sew.

4. Crackle paint on chipboard – for added texture and interest try using some Tim Holtz crackle paint on your next chipboard project. On this card I covered a Fancy Pants chipboard tag with crackle paint let dry and top with rubons.

| 5. Chipboard & Rubons – Take your cue from Anne’s simple layout and dress up your plain chipboard letters and shapes with rubons. |
|
6. Raw Chipboard – Using chipboard in its simplest form is one of the simplest chipboard techniques often most forgotten about. Note how Alissa mixed the raw chipboard with ones she dressed up with stickles this allows some to stand out from the pack.
7. Chipboard & Stickles – Earlier we talked about dressing up chipboard with glitter now break out your Stickles for a similar look with less mess.

|
| 8. Chipboard & Paper – Raw chipboard can easily be covered with paper. Cut patterned paper to cover your favorite chipboard shape, adhere to chipboard and sand off any excess paper. Dress up your chipboard like Chrys did by topping it off with diamond Glaze. |
|
9. Embossed chipboard – Chipboard can be embossed by running it through a Cuttlebug loaded with an embossing template. Then simply paint your chipboard and lightly rub paint or ink or the embossed areas. Kimber embossed her title and party hat accent with a dot pattern rubbing the embossed areas with ink allows them to jump off the page.

|
| 10. Chipboard & Transparencies – To cover your chipboard with a transparency as Kim did in her layout first paint your chipboard then run your transparency thru an adhesive machine such as a Xyron 510 so that the entire piece is covered. Place on chipboard and trim off the excess with an X-acto blade or micro tip scissors. |
