Fun with Chipboard and the Chip Art Tool

Today I wanted to share with you some of the products I have had played around with while using the GCD Studios Chipboard and Chip Art Tool. Melody Ross has shared some amazing ideas with us using paint and a fun distressed look. You can see a great little video HERE. I love this look, but struggle to use it with my style. I decided to go on an adventure of my own and see what other looks I could come up with!

I will be sharing one of the many combination's I discovered with you on the GCD Studios blog and on my blog as well on April 16th. So stay tuned!!!


Here are some of the products I have tried so far...
  • Water-based Dye Ink
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Silver/Gold Leafing Pens by Krylon
  • Stickles by Ranger (any glitter product would work!)
  • Glimmer Mist
  • Shimmerz ...Paintz or Spritz (actually any of their products work well!)
  • Folk Art Antiquing Medium (If you like the distressed look that Melody has shared, but don't want to have to mix up your own paint and Mod Podge I have the answer for you. Folk Art Antiquing Medium! It gives it an awesome aged look with out the work! (Call me lazy if you want to, but I love this less messy option!))
I have found that by mixing and matching these various products you can get a wide array of looks. You just have to let go and free yourself up to making a mess! I promise, you will have fun and come up with something super cool and crafty during the process!

Happy Hugs!

Next week I will be sharing my first GCD Studios project with you and I am so excited that I can hardly wait to share it....however, I have to wait. So, until then I thought I would share some fun ideas using their new Chip Art Tool. I was so lucky to be given one to play with as a member of their DT and I have had a blast working with it!

The chipboard shapes are so fun and funky!
I especially love these birds, but they also have some fabulous butterflies too!
This is one of the alphabet stamp sets called Sparrow!
And these are some of the fabulous sets of stamps that I have been playing with!

I also wanted to say "THANK YOU!!!!" to all of you for stopping by and all the sweet comments you left during the Bo Bunny blog hop! Several of you asked about when my LO will be revealed. I apologize for not sharing the information with you during the hop. It will be revealed on the Bo Bunny blog on April 9th.
