The Basic Grey Precision File Set
The Basic Grey Precision File Set– Making it easy to personalize raw chipboard Incorporating chipboard onto any scrapbook page is a great way to add dimension onto any page.One of the best features of chipboard is that your options are virtually endless as chipboard can be used to form alphabets, frames or more.What’s also great is that you can personalize your chipboard by using your choice of paper or paint, so that it matches your layout perfectly.
Now, one of the tough things about using chipboard with paper is that it’s not always easy to make the paper look like it’s part of the board.The last thing you want is for it to appear that you’ve glued the paper on or have wrinkles, crooked edges or a messy looking final product.The Basic Grey Precision File kit comes in handy in addressing this common problem.. The file kit is inexpensive, compact and simple to use.The kit includes six files: 2 flat boards, a round file, a half-round, one square file and a knife file. The different sizes allow you to match the file that best fits into the little corners and grooves of the chipboard.
To begin, choose your raw chipboard and paper that you want cover onto it.
Select a liquid or gel adhesive (like Zigs 2-way glue) and apply evenly over the entire chipboard surface.
Lightly press the paper on top of the chipboard, smoothing out wrinkles and bubbles, and allow it to dry according to the adhesive supplier’s instructions.Trim the excess paper at the edges of the chipboard.You want to follow the shape of the chipboard as closely as possible, but it’s okay for the paper to hang over the piece.Certainly you could use scissors or a knife to trim the paper, but I’d suggest using a swivel knife because it allows you to cut around corners with more precision.
Use the files to shave off the excess paper.The round, half-round and square files are excellent for corners, such as the inside of a capital “A” or in the corners of the letter “k”.
For a nice touch, you might consider inking the edges.The Basic Grey Precision File set can help with creating distressed paper, paint or photos. For added comfort and convenience, each precision file comes with a rubber comfort grip.
