Woodland Fun!! - by Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t wait to play with this set of chipboards - the "12inch “Fine Floral” set -

wow!!! you get so much in this

pack….and I still have some pieces left over

for another project.

I created my base by using two sheets of paper, then matted the central "wood slice" paper on top,

some stitching around the edges in a coordinating thread colour

just adds a little something extra to the layout.

I had the perfect colour ink pad that coordinated with the teal paper, so inked all

those wonderful chipboards, inking with a pad was really quick

and easy.

I fussy cut lots of beautiful floral and foliage elements from various papers and also

stamped and fussy cut the teal flowers to bring all the

colours together.

Chipboard used:

12 inch Fine Floral Set.

Iron Gates.

I framed my photo by using the gorgeous Iron Gates chipboard, then matted this

to the centre of my layout. I then arranged all my fussy cut elements around

the edges of my photo. I tucked the main section of the

Fine Floral set in and around the bottom left hand cluster of

fussy cut elements.

Don’t be afraid to cut into your chipboards, any pieces that would

be covered I try and cut them out and use else where on the layout, for example: the little flourish

pieces.

I love how these chipboards work perfectly alongside the fussy cut and layered flowers -

a tiny colour coordinated rhinestone to the centre of the chipboard flower

sets it off beautifully.

I highly recommend these wonderful floral sets, there is so much in them, they would be great on a

double page spread as the main feature.

Hugs & Happy Crafting,

“Mandala magic!!" Layout By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, I have had these gorgeous papers in my stash for years,

I love them so much with the mandala type designs -

I now had the perfect Chipboards to use with them.

My first job was to fussy cut all the beautiful images from the papers

once that was done I began to layer them up, in readiness for assembling on my layout.

Chipboard used:

Aztec Flower Set 1.

2c 4 inch Mandala 3.

2c 4 inch Mandala 1.

Fifi Flourish.

I wanted all the chipboard to colour coordinate with the papers,

so I picked out the gorgeous teal colour.

I didn’t have the exact match of medium so I just mixed a few colours of paint and mists together

until I was happy.

A couple of coats and they were done. I love that these chipboards take anything

you put on them. Even those very delicate Aztec flowers took the paint mix perfectly.

I started to make clusters of the fussy cut and layered paper elements around my layout

then tucked a piece of chipboard in with them.

The Aztec flower chipboards are stunning! - I carefully lifted & shaped the inner section to give

some height and dimension.

I just love the added texture the chipboards give to a layout or project -

the chipboard mandala’s are so beautiful, they would also look fabulous layered up

like the fussy cut paper elements.

Mmmm I feel another project coming on using them this way.

Don’t forget, if you want to colour coordinate your

chipboard but don’t have the right colour, just mix a few colours of mediums up -

I used acrylic paint and mists, it

worked perfectly.

"Pretty in Pink" By Chrissy Tingey

Hi everyone, I'm back with my second post for January featuring

some wonderful flourishes & border chipboards.

2Crafty Chipboard used…

Maggie’s Swirls

Flourish Adornment set 4

Fanciful Butterflies

Lacy Border set 1

I love the beautiful Lacy Border Set and wanted to show them all off, so I hope
my layout “design” has achieved this, the lacy border chipboards make such
pretty edges to the different paper sections.
With a quick coat of black acrylic paint they then coordinate beautifully.

I have used both sets of Flourishes and tucked them in and around my fussy
cut elements, I cut some of the bits off that would have been hidden and
dotted these around my layout to make good use of them.

I can never resist a butterfly, painted with black acrylic paint again to coordinate,
the beautiful "Fanciful butterflies" finish off my layout, there are two sizes in the pack,
so I have layered them up to give some height and dimension
to my layout, I have then added a tiny pearl to each. They look so pretty.

I hope you have enjoyed my post and layout and I hope I have inspired you
to use those pretty border chipboards

Thank you for stopping by - happy crafting!!
I’ll be back next month with two more projects
