February inspirational post for Mystical Scrapbooks

Good morning

Today my post is about using chipboard on cards.

The feature product this month at Mystical Scrapbooks is chipboard so I decided to remind myself and you that chipboard is great for cards.

I cut pink cardstock to 10 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored at 5 1/4" on the 10 1/2" side.

This makes a 5 1/4" card

The papers I used for these cards is Couture Creations Peaceful Peonies.

The beautiful lace is from my Mum.

For the top card I cut Patterned paper No. 10 to 5" square and 4 strips 1" x 5"

I distressed the edges of all of the patterned paper 

and then inked the edge using my VersaColor black ink cube.

I attached the 5" square using Art Glitter glue

and the 1" strips were attached with foam squares.

I used my hot glue gun to attach the lace about 2/3rds of the way up the card front.

I fussy cut several flowers from Patterned Paper No 6.

I inked the edges of the flowers and attached them to the card front.

A 4 1/4" x 1" strip that had been distressed and inked is attached to the card front, 

about 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom. This is where I will put the greeting

The chipboard I used on this card is from the "Around the World in 8 weeks" 

challenge that was held by Mystical Scrapbooks last year

I sprayed it with white undercoat and then covered it with gold ink.

The greeting was stamped using LDRS Happy Birthday Stack 

and die cut using LDRS Sentiment Stack die.

I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Final step was to add a few drops of Spun Sugar Distress Stickles

Card No. 2

The papers for this card are Patterned Paper No 1.

I cut a 5" square piece and a 2" x 5" piece.

I cut 2 pieces 1/2" x 5" and attached one to each of the long edges.

I attached the lace vertically, approximately the middle of the card.

I added some fun foam to the back of the strip and then attached it to the front of the card

so it slightly overlapped the edge of the lace.

I then attached some of the fussy cut flowers to the panel.

The chipboard for this card is from Memory Maze - Wire Butterfly Set.

I added a coat of Nuvo Drops - White Blizzard 

to the undercoated chipboard before attaching it to the card.

The sentiment is a Rub On (from Kaisercraft I think) and is attached to the card using foam squares.

While the Nuvo Drops were still wet I sprinkled Spellbinders Sparkle Dust Glitter

over it and then tipped the excess off.

Once again I added a few dots of Spun Sugar Distress Stickles randomly on the card front.
