Unknown Dimension of Chipboard

Hello friends of UmWowStudio!

I hope you have happy holidays and you need a new portion of inspiration!

I want to show you my new technic to use chipboard as... letterpress. Make the surface of chipboard waterproof, for example with medium gel. Now you can using it with any inks you like, but not with acrylic! Now you need a Big Shot or something like this. With watercolor paper you have the best result. Try it as with embossing folder, take the soft mate too.

And here is my creation..

Here is the backside...

Supplies I used:

Cubed Backround

Stay creative! And Happy New Year!!

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

Christmas is right around the corner...

can you believe it!??!

....and I am sharing a non~holiday creation!
Yes, you heard me correctly.

I created a pocket hanger to hold a few of my cotton picks

that I recently acquired.

I used a painted UmWowStudio chippie

Netting Background

which I sewed onto my canvas pocket,

to add to the texture and color of my

pocket hanger.

I also added few glass buttons

and a piece of black ticking to

hang the my pocket with.

I hope you enjoyed my

non~holiday creation.

Wishing each and everyone of you a

Very MERRY Christmas

and a HAPPY New Year!

Hello everyone,

Today I have a trio of rusty ATC's for you. I made them a little shabby too as I thought it went well with the rusty backgrounds...

And here's how I made these... 

I used embossing powders on the chipboards. I used brass on the Elk's head and the stars, Red & Sparkly on the little circle that wasn't really a chipboard but a loose piece from inside a chipboard that fell out and I used for his nose.

Here is how that looks. 

Next I added some shading with my Big Brush Pens... 

Looks a bit more interesting like this I think. 

The paper was made with acrylic paint in 'iron' and it was made rusty with a patina spray.. I added some embossing and made sure it looked a little shabby... I also added some sari ribbon and some embroidery twine. 

On this card I also added the sari ribbon and embroidery twine and like on the other two a little doodling with a gold pen around the edges. 

This one got the same treatment too ! 

Here is another look at all three... 

I have used the following Chipboards:

Elk Head 

Star Confetti

Hello everyone,

Today I have a tag to show you :

I have made this tag for you today. The chipboard was simply painted with acrylic paint. 

I used the Dahlia stencil, some thread, book pages, stamping and some butterflies from Tim Holtz. 

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz also. 

I hope you got some inspiration ! 

I used this chipboard:

It is called 'Airmail Border' and you'll find it HERE. 

Also used this stencil :

You'll find it HERE.

Christmas Card

Hello friends of UmWowStudio!

I'm here today for show you amazing art with chipboard from UWS!

For my card I have used layered stars. One layer I have covered with white fine embossing powder and stamped with sweet Christmas sentiments. The second layer I have covered with gold holographic embossing powder. Then I have glued both layers together, but not straight. This give the composition some funny touch ;) I have sentiments in german ;) it's means "Advent Season".

Check it out!

Hello everyone,

Today I have made an artjournal for you. I must say I really love the Um Wow Chipboards because they are so sturdy. They stand up to a lot of abuse....

I have also used some (very old) design paper, a paper doll, some lace, paint and fabric for this page. The chipboard was embellished like this :

First I tool the scissors to it as I didn't like the straight edges so I did some trimming. Once I was happy I pressed my VersaMark ink pad onto the chipboard and sprinkled all three colours embossing powder onto it and melted them. 

This is how it came out, quite nice but I decided to sand some of the shine off and get some of the chipboard out again. 

This is the finished result and I really love it.  

A couple of close - ups ...

You can see where the chipboard is peeking through again. 

And this is the finished page ! 

I hope I have inspired you to dust off the chipboards and use them too ! Maybe even to make a card or something ! They are so versatile. 

You will find the Damaged Punchinella background I used HERE

Thank you for stopping by today !
