chipboard: concept to product

We had this idea to make some nested comic bubbles. Jen has been wanting to do something on chipboard for a while, so this seemed like the perfect medium for the nested bubbles.

Once we knew what shapes we wanted to make, we drew them up in illustrator and sent them off to a company that specializes in making dies for cutting these sorts of things. While the die was being worked on, I got busy drawing.


Here is the digital art.




Since the die line can't change, you are stuck with one set of shapes, so we thought it would be fun to do a variant colorway to get the most out of our die.




And this is how the final product turned out.




Ready to be used in scrapbooks or collages or whatever!
