Stamping
Stamping is another simple way to decorate chipboard. There are several ways to use stamps and ink.
1. Direct to paper. To do this technique, you just apply the ink pad to the chipboard letter or shape. Use two different colors and edge the letter or shape to get a nice finish. The chipboard letter below has been inked directly with an ink pad.
2. Embossing. This involves stamping an image on your chipboard shape or letter and covering it with embossing powder. You heat the embossing powder with a heat gun until it melts. The finish is shiny and raised. On this chipboard letter an ink pad was rubbed over the entire chipboard letter. The ink was then rubbed off to reveal the white underneath.
