“Just Be” Vintage Altered Plate with Karen Jiles

Hi there, 

It’s Karen sharing a “Just Be” Vintage Altered Plate that I created with the Exhale Word Mix and Penny Farthing Bike chipboard.  I coupled the products with a vintage plate, some expanding mousse, flowers, pins and clear gems. The products were perfect together.  Take a peek at how this project came together in the tutorial below.

Step 1: Trim patterned papers down to layering sizes and run through Xyron machine to apply adhesive to the papers. Adhere papers together and then adhere layered papers to chipboard layer.

Step 2: Sand patterned paper and chipboard edges using a sanding bar.

Step 3: Adhere “Just Be” and Bike chipboard, corrugated board and corkboard embellishments to the patterned paper layers. Note: These embellishments added some great texture and awesome details.

Step 4: Adhere quote, flowers, clear pebbles and heart pins. Set aside.

Step 5: Apply Worn Linen Expanding Mousse to the edges and random areas of the plate. Heat the expanding mouse to create bubbled texture. Using a paintbrush, tap on some gesso. Note: This plate made the perfect base for this project. The colour was perfect and extremely lightweight material.

Step 6: Using E6000, adhere the patterned paper layer to the plate and tap on some more gesso to enhance the overall design.

Step 7: Continue embellishing as desired.

Vintage Bicycles with Deb Antonick

I just fell in love with these new Stamperia Rice papers.

I chose to make 2 canvases so as not to waste any of this gorgeous paper.

To start, I applied a coat of Gesso to chipboard bikes and the 2 wood canvases.

Cut the paper to fit the larger wood canvas keeping to the upper right of the paper so as to utilize the flowers. Apply with Matte Medium.

Use a palette knife and a brick look stencil and apply modelling paste to the smaller Wood Canvas, and the upper right and lower left of the larger canvas over the paper. Let dry.

Emboss the chipboard Bicycles and the branches with the Emerald Creek Allure Burnt Copper Leaves embossing powder.

Paint over the texture with Razzleberry. Let dry.

Drybrush over the pink with Light Buttermilk. Let dry.

Adhere the remaining paper to a piece of Cardstock with Matte Medium. Let dry, then cut to create the upper right and lower left corners.

Adhere the paper with glue.

Shade around the edges on both of the wood canvases with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics Burnt Umber.

Stamp a piece of cardstock with the Dream stamp and trim to size. Adhere with Matte Medium. Outline with the Stabilo pencil or permanent marker.

Add brads to the wheels.

Adhere all the chipboard pieces with Pop Up Glue Dots.

Adhere flowers with Glue.

Finish the sides of the wood canvas with Razzleberry.

Inky Fun Album Cover by Karen Bearse

Hi Chipboard fans! I hope all you Moms out there in blogland had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Karen Bearse here today with a quick project.

I made this fun album cover or art journal page, haven’t decided which yet. I took one of the pages out of the Chipboard albums as my base. The beauty of these pages is their versatility! The albums come with 9 pages so there are still plenty to complete a book.

Here is my finished cover. It is super shiny and glittery with lots of depth. I plan on using the gear piece to wrap ribbon through, as a closure, if I turn this into a cover.

Here is a quick summery of my process. Started by gluing random paper down and added modeling paste & a stencil. Instead of gesso I used paint with a dry brush and let some of the paper show through. Once that was dry I slapped on lots of Glimmer Glam and Glaze. These products love chipboard and are so easy to blend together! Once the cover was nice and dry, I hit the high points with copper paint. I found the images were getting a little lost so I hit some of the high points in the same paint I used as the base. This helped brighten my cover & made the stenciled images pop. For the bike I covered it in paint, glimmer mist, and embossing powder sprinkled randomly. The gear is embossed with multiple colours to give it a rusty look and the edges distressed in paint.

Lastly I assembled my cover adding flowers from my stash & some cute metal pieces. The quote was covered with that base paint then wiped off a bit so the words show & it has that nummy vintage look. This project took only 3 hours once the modeling paste was dry. Thanks for joining me, I hope you get some inky time in this week!
