I happened to be looking through my stash and found some cute raw chipboard I had forgotten about. I think I had forgotten about because I never knew how to decorate it. Does anyone still use it? What do you use to make it look pretty and not so blah. I'd love to see examples if you have them. Thanks!

use a matte medium (mod podge) and glue on decortive paper then when dry- use a little sandpaper around the edges to make it look like it came that way....
Use acrylic paint
Use Ink and stamp images
use mod podge or paper perfect glues (wet glue) and glitter the heck out of it
Use ink and embossing powder or UTE (ultra think embossing powder)
I was just thinking I have GOT to use some of those--
post when you do!!

Cover with white paint/dauber, then ink (hero arts works well). Sand edges if desired. Cover with glossy accents.
Another thought...
can you run it through a big shot with an embossing folder, maybe on a less compressing tab? That would make a cool pattern...

I've modge podged paper, sanded and painted as the above posters suggested. The only other thing I can add is inking edges. I ink almost everything for that extra pop. Painting is the easiest of all  |

I paint, glitter, or cover with paper. It depends how intricate. I prefer paint because easiest. Glitter is second fave since it usually comes out so nice and sparkly.

Never thought to use embossing powder. I have a ton of that but rarely use that either. I probably should start using my stuff.  |

I painted it once, but mostly I cover it w/patterned paper. It is a time consuming affair.
I'm definitely going to try some of these ideas!

Our designers at Blue Fern Studios have TONS of ideas on how to finish raw chippie. You should check out their blog. I especially LOVE taking leafy chipboard, misting with water, and pulling up the leaves to create more layers. But I use everything on my chippie. I am always playing. |

I can't be bothered with paint or other mediums (I'm too lazy for so many steps!). If it's a shape I'm willing to trace and cut, I'll cover it with paper. But more often than not, I ink them.
The possibilities are endless as far as colors, leave solid and bold or distress or blend... sometimes I'll stickle or glossy-accent after inking. So, I basically only use what I can already reach without getting out of my chair LOL but I always love how my chipboard turns out!

I use either paint or mist and then after that dries, smear coordinating stickles around with my finger for glittery letters.

My favorite has four easy steps:
1. ink or paint (I usually do ink because little or none will show through)
2. liquid glue
3. glitter (love the new chunky Distress Glitter by Ranger)
4. a thick coat of Diamond Glaze

I let mine sit in a box and collect dust.  I have covered it with Washi tape once and used spray mist on a few pieces. My problem is I want it ready to use fast. Covering it with paper takes too long and definitely takes too long to paint and let dry. May try the ink and embossing powder. Thanks for all the ideas everybody. |

I think that's why I have forgotten about...I'm definitely going to have to give some of these suggestions a try though. First I've got to find my desk..... |

Mine never look as good as the photos I see. I may have to give it another try.
Usually, I just ink it. I love the look of covering with patterned paper.

M's had this several inches wide Washi tape yesterday-that would be a super quick cover! The Washi tape sheets would go quick too.

I have always liked chipboard. I like the dimension it adds to a page without too much bulk. The 31 ideas for the raw chipboard are all still great ideas. Thanks for asking about raw chipboard.

It only takes overnight to dry and you could probably get away with less dry time if you're using acrylic paint. The 31 ideas for the raw chipboard are all still great ideas.

I usually glue the face side of the chip board shapes to the back side of the pattern paper with matte Mod Podge, it usually only takes 10 minutes to dry. Then carefully cut around the edge with an exacto and use my trusty BG files to smooth the edge. Then a little ink around the edges and it is ready. If it is a really detailed shape like a swirl or flourish, paint or embossing powder work the best. I too have a drawer of raw chipboard shapes I need to use or toss. I mainly don't use them as I forget about them.  Maybe if I put a small tin of some shapes I really like out on my desk, they will be there in sight and handy to grab. And maybe get used! |
