Chipboard Tags

What do you do with all the “extra” pieces in the On Board Chipboard packages?  I started putting together some tags to have one hand for gifts.  I used two tags from the On Board Essentials pack and some left over letters from the now retired Simon Lower, scraps of DSP and little bit of ink –

This one uses the wonderful paper from the Sweet Pea DSP in the Occasions Mini along with some Rose Red stitched grosgrain ribbon. 

This one uses Pink Flamingo DSP and the On Your Birthday stamp set.  The flower is from the Pretties kits and is inked in Cameo Coral with a red corduroy button in the center. 

I like to use the Tombow Multi purpose glue (the one with the green lid) to adhere DSP to chipboard.  I spread it on the chipboard, place the chipboard on the paper and smooth it out with my bone folder.  Then I use my hobby blade (and mat!) to trim the excess paper.  You can ink the edges, sand them, or just leave them be.  On the 4U tag I inked and on the 14 tag I sanded. 

I did these to use up the retired chipboard – but you can cut chipboard with your Big Shot and spell anything you want!  There are so many cute ideas using “chat talk” – I’ll just have to get my kids to make me a list!  They’d die if I made one saying “lol!”  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
