A little Inspiration using Paint Chips

Hey there! Today I'm going to share a couple of simple little tips, in how you can use up all of those paint chips you've been collecting from the hardware store! (Come on, I know you have some!!! I have loads, and have been known to head to Bunnings, just in search of more paint chip colours.) At first I was disappointed when I couldn't get any more variegated ones, but have now found a few cool things you can do with the square ones!!!

My first thought was to stack a few together and use them as a reference for all of my Punches. Simply punch out a few designs on each card, and then you can keep them handy for inspiration when using your punches in your projects. they are made from sturdy card, so they should last awhile, and you can hang them near your craft desk!

So then I got to thinking, that these punched shapes looked great and I could actually use them as home made stencils for my inks, spray mists and texture mediums, just like a store bought stencil! (I am still hanging on to some cool, variegated ones!)

Cool Hey?? I've got a few more ideas and there's loads on Pinterest. I even started a Pinterest board dedicated to Paint Chip ideas...
I'll be back another day with a cool idea my Hubby and kids came up with!
