Instead of chipboard, I buy matboard from my local art /framing shop. They sell the leftover pieces from cutting mats for pictures. I find it to be very inexpensive. I just buy a big piece and cut it to size myself, but they will cut it for me if I want. I like this better than traditional chipboard because it is acid free, comes in different colors, has a smooth finish and cuts well. I like the white because it takes ink/paint better than the chipboard without swelling up or altering the color.
