"Chipboard" out of my CR

[crafty too]

I know I read that tip somewhere on the net, if it was here, thanks!
I am not a "bulky" scrapper but sometimes a little piece of chipboard does the trick...kwim?
Well, I tried my CR to cut make-a-like-chipboard, I cut the same image 4 times from semi-thick cardstock and then adhered with a glue stick. I put it under some heavy books for a while to make them glue really well.
It does look like chipboard now! I now don't have to buy an expensive machine or ruin my blades. Besides, I know the "chipboard craze" will fade in a while
Forgive my excitement if you knew this already.

Same here Yamilka, things come and they go and to buy a machine just for that seems a bit OTT plus I wouldn't want chipboard on all my LOs.

yes well done ive done this with bazzil cardstock to great effect on a layout i did once i also use bookbinding glue or even modpodge spread thinly with a plastic spatula.

you can custom cut them in any card now, well done on your discovery.

Check out my blog. I posted a project that I did with cardstock for a Faux Chipboard look. The template is here in the template files somewhere.

I think Pam (yorkiemum) did something similar a while back too? But it's useful to have techniques re-posted as sometimes to originals aren't always seen by newer members.
