Today's tutorial is a Freebie find! I know you guys all have chipboard of some kind laying around (like food boxes for example). Here are a couple of ideas on how to use them for our cards.
Supplies:
Die cuts of your choice
Fine glitter (I got mine at JoAnn's)
Glue pad
Chipboard
Embossing powder (I made custom powder using UTEE and Perfect pearls)
Heat gun
Versa Mark
Step 1-1: Cut chipboard using die cut
Step 1-3: Cover shape using glue pad.
Step 1-3: Cover with fine glitter.
Finished chipboard accent
Step 2-1: Cut out chipboard (I used Nestibilities for this one)
Step 2-2: Cover piece in VesaMark
Step 2-3: Cover with embossing powder
Step 2-4: Heat with heat gun
Step 2-5: If you desire, you can repeat the last step for more coverage
And here is how I used my chipbard on a card. Enjoy and have fun!

Great tutorial! I never would have thought to use my cereal boxes for anything!
TFS!! I never think to do any of this with my cb. How cool is that?
This is awesome!!! I just got the glue pad at a stamp show couple of weeks ago and I have not tried to cover chipboard, yet, I will have to play with glitter.
Visiting from Splitcoast blog comment thread...I have a little extra time tonight to play.

Very cute! I love what you do on Dollar Find Friday! Thanks for the deets on doing it.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!!
I LOVE the card!
Darn! I just threw out a nice clean cereal box, not realizing what a resource it could have been. Thanks for the ideas--that's the last box that goes!
Now I MUST remember to get out my glitter more often, especially with the holidays right around the corner. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a great tutorial!! :) TFS!! Love your idea of home-made UTEE!! Gotta try this out!
