How do you cover chipboard with paper?

[GrammaStamper]

I just got the On Board Blossoms and Basics in my last SU order and now I don't know how to cover the darn chipboard. My attempts have been less than successful!!

I noticed Sabrina had a picture of a Precision Tool Set in her post about her Scrapbook Expo goodies. Would they be useful for this stuff?

Check out the pictures and scroll down about 4 or so pics to see this set. Any advice would be useful. Thanks.

I use red line tape to adhere my paper and then trim worund. I do not get too close to the chipboard with my scissors.

Once I have the paper on, I take a nail file/emery board and sand the paper "off" of the chipboard.

THis makes it a "perfect fit" every time!

Hope that helps!

Okay, I'll give that a try. Thanks, I'd be really upset if I can't get this to work right.

I use the Zyaron Cheetah adhesive, it gets right to the edge and then I also "distress" the edges. You could just cut it close if you wnat a clean edge. :)

Is this a glue type adhesive, or tape?

i use bookbindingglue.
make some glueswirls and spread it out with a foambrush.
You can even glue chipboard on chipboard if you want.

I'm glad you asked this question. I've always wondered how the paper always went on and ended up looking so nice. I like "filing" the paper off - what a great idea.

I use Multi-Mono, the only thing is you have to put it on really thin or you'll be able to see the glue lines. I usually put a small thin line and then spread it with my finger.

Like Awna I also use a emery board to file the edges off, I like the distressed look it gives (especially if the paper has a white core). It also give the look that the chipboard came with the pretty paper!

Ok, well don't laugh, but this is how we did it in tim holtz' class. Use a strong glue sick all over the back of the paper, put it down on the chipboard. And then here's the good part....lift up on one cheek and put it under there and sit on it for a bit. That's how he covers all his chipboard, so if you see a tim holtz sample it's been under his cute little tushie! LOL

I use a thin coat of Modgepodge on the chipboard, cover with paper, let it dry, then use the emery board to file it off.

That's too funny. He called it the "bun oven" when I attended his class at MOA. As for me, personally, I've got a 'double oven'!
