Ideas on Chipboard, glitter glue, ink pads...etc?

I was just wondering...When using chipboard, what all works with it? Meaning, can I use a classic ink pad to color it, or do I have to use crafters ink? I would also like to know more about glimmer mist, would that work as well? How does glitter glue work? Ideas anyone?

I don't know what you mean by a "classic" ink pad. Do you mean the kind you use in an office? I don't know if that is acid free, but, yes, it would ink chipboard.

You can use any of the ink pads sold in scrapbook sections to color chipboard. You can also use paint or markers. You can cover chipboard with patterned paper but that's kind of a pain to do.

Glitter glue (ie Stickles) is typically used as an accent for a 3-D glittery effect. You could cover the whole chipboard with Stickles, but using Stickles to add accents is more common.

I've never used Glimmer Mist but I don't think it would be opaque.

Some people like the look of bare chipboard, so you can use it that way too.

Thank you for your advice, it means a lot, and as for the ink pads, I am sorry I should have been more specific. It's just that in a Stampin' Up catalog there is the classic ink pad and the crafter's ink pad. My sister said that the classic ink pad dries faster than the crafters ink pad, and I was just wondering if it would make a difference in the color, or the way it would dry? Also if I had a LO using light to pastel colors and I wanted to use chipboard but with the same light colors, would I then have to paint it white first, before going over it with the light or pastel color?

I always use inkpads sold at craft stores.
Sometimes it's fun to ink them and use stickles (like glitter glue-an awesome product too) over them. The chipboard looks amazing!
I've never used glitter mist.
Another idea with chipboard (in case you don't already know) is to cover it with patterened paper. I glue the chipboard to the pp and then use an exacto to cut around it. To finish it up, I "sand" the edges with an emery board to make it smooth.

This is an out of the box idea that my boss uses, but she takes extra pictures(pictures that have no meaning usually scenery from trips, etc.) and pastes them to her chipboard to form her letters, on some of her pages. I would think that if you painted the chipboard one color then used the glitter mist, that would look really CUTE. I have also seen(want to try) to use stamps and ink to color them. You can also use like rainbow ink and a roller to get a really cool rainbow effect. I have also seen people use markers to color their stamps before they stamp them, to get a real type color effect.

I have used glimmer mists both with paint and without. You can get two different looks from the same bottle of mist.
On this star, I sprayed raw chipboard with about 3 coats of the mist letting each one dry in between:

and on this layout, i first painted the raw chipboard with white craft paint and after it dried, sprayed the mist. i then blotted/spread it around with a paper towel since lots of the mist beaded up on the painted surface. the look is less shimmery than spraying it directly:

for both of these, i used the same bottle of glimmer mist.

as for glitter glue, i would suggest first painting the raw chipboard then applying the glue when dry. i have used regular craft gold glitter glue before for home decor items; i just painted my chipboard a mustardy yellow first and then added several coats of the glitter.

another cool look i've seen but i haven't tried is using colored rub-on designs on raw chipboard. it works best on larger pieces of chipboard.

Hi I just started using chipboard too. I painted the Poppa on this layout different colors (I used cheap acrylic paint) then dotted the other background colors on the letters.

Glimmer mist is awesome on chipboard. In my gallery I have a halloween album I covered with paper. Then I inked the edges its a pain but I liked the way it looked.

OK, pigment inks dries slow for embosing and usually more vivid.

Dye ink dries fairly quickly and is good for layering colors.

Both will work on chipboard, it just depends on what you need.

As for misting...I am a little in love with mist.

That one I misted almost everything!

I do love mist.

HTH!

Thx for the info, very informative.

Gonna check out that video when I get home, thx for the info.

I wanna try the mist but am nervous.

I am still waiting on my order from here. I decided to try the glitter stickles in black and the Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Pearl and Snow Angel...I can't wait to try my hand at it!

I received 2 different glimmer mists in July and still have not really tried them out...I think I will like them once I get the hang of it and learn how and when to use it! I am going to purchase some bulk chipboard...I think it will be well worth the price! I am still learning and can't to do some layouts with paint and glimmermist on the chipboard!

You can cover chipboard with lots of things! Ink, Paint, Stickles, Markers, Glimmer Mist, Alcohol Inks, Paper, and more. There are great videos on techniques on youtube. I really like the Thinking Inking videos by TwoPeas. There are 27 of them and each has awesome techniques!
