Jenni Bowlin: Chipboard Obsession

I’m so excited Cheryl asked me to share this project with you! Being that it’s Fiskar’s blog I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about. I have an obsession with covering chipboard with patterned paper! So much in fact that the chipboard shapes I produce for Jenni Bolwin Studio are made with a glossy white top, perfect for using a tape runner on (without pulling up a layer like naked chipboard would do). I use my craft knife to trim around the edges, a little sandpaper to perfect, and I have a custom covered shape ready for my layout! This is one of my favorite photos so I didn’t want a lot of pattern to compete with it. Adding the little bits to the butterfly seemed to do the trick. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you Jenni for sharing your talent and time with us. Jenni is such a talented and inspirational artist. She’s always so sweet and I want to thank you. One thing that I love about Jenni is her gift to turn found trinkets into treasure.

May 19th, 2007 at 12:40 pmI never would have thought to use more than one kind of paper on a piece of Chipboard at a time! Duh! What a cool idea.

May 19th, 2007 at 6:03 pmWhat a gorgeous page!! LOVE everything about it - especially the journaling on the chipboard butterfly. I took a class from Jenni at ScrapEtc. event and her project was not only amazing but she has such a warm and friendly personality!!!

May 19th, 2007 at 6:12 pmLove Love Love it. Can’t wait to scraplift it and make it my own.
Paula says:
May 19th, 2007 at 6:41 pmSuch a lovely page - I’m very frugal when it comes to scrapping supplies and am constantly covering naked chipboard and recovering pre-printed chipboard with paper that fits my theme and LO. I love how it gives the LO’s a lift with the custom embelishments
So the moral is, if you don’t think you’d ever use that piece because of the colours/print, just carefully tear off the top layer and recover in a scrap that co-ordinates with your LO

May 20th, 2007 at 4:37 pmThe picture in this layout is priceless. This layout really shows it well. I am fairly new to working with chipboard. Thanks for the ideas and seeing how you used chipboard. Is the butterfly the Fiskars template that you use the ultra shape express with by any chance?
