What is chipboard?
In it’s most basic form chipboard is a type of cardboard, usually adhered to the back of notepads. Chipboard is used in scrapbooking to give an added effect to embellishments and letters. It can be painted, distressed (ie, sanded), decorated with cardstock or pattern paper, or you can even add other stickers or embellishments on top of the chipboard.
Where can you find chipboard? You can find chipboard in odd places. An old gift box, the back of a legal pad, the box your freezer bags come in, the back of a scrapbook paper slab, even your cereal box works! You can also ask your local scrapbooking store if they have extra pieces of chipboard. They usually have plenty of hand for free! Scrapbooking and craft stores also sell assorted cardstock in many shapes, sizes, etc.
