I have used it on an altered book cover to string threads through the corrigations and attach charms and or beads, etc.
Jessica gallerydsf@dotcalmvillage.net - I use black corrugated (the finely corrugated stuff) as a layer in some mixed media stuff - I rub it with Rub&Buff metallics first.
Vicki aka/Jambalaya vabhab@bellsouth.net - Use the inside of light bulb packaging, and paint it with Lumieres, it will look like different colors from different angles.
Sally SALLYIH@aol.com - I have cut out corrugated paper in the shape of a flower pot, adhered this to a piece of cardstock, then put flowers into the flowerpot. When I do these, I always get raves from the people I send them to.
Judy judyaguayo@SAN.RR.COM - Corrugated paper works well when used as a frame for a stamped image; it can also be used for a background, either plain or gussied up with beads as Jean said, or with embossing ink and powder. You can also stamp something, such as flowers, and then run your design through a corrugator - it adds a different dimension to a card.
Jeane jmcockey@JonesDay.com - Ah! My favorite stuff! I use corrugated paper with multi-layering. I collage chocolate candy wrappers on top of cardstock that has been run through a permanent adhesive Xyron cartridge. I then corrugate dark brown cardstock (or grab the wrapping from Oreo cookies) and cut it into small rectangles. I glue it on top of a note card size collaged piece and then stamp "Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt" in Hot Cocoa-scented ink and finally layer that on top of the corrugated piece. Very funny card! I also have my corrugator to make ladies dressed in bathing suits, or even gypsies, appear as they are walking!
Frances fivejones@charter.net - This may seem kinda silly, but it makes for great "building" material for miniature houses, etc. For instance, if you are making paper houses(towns) for Christmas, it would work really well for roofing, etc. You could paint it silver or use aluminum foil attached to paper, corrugate it, then use it for a tin roof look.
Becky becky@aistrup.com - I make a neat looking textured paper by running it at a 90 degree angle through one of those manual rolling corrugaters . It kind of squashed it and gives it a totally unique texture that doesn't really look like corrugated.
Jean cro.fthr@verizon.net - Using squares of it to mount small designs on. Using a whole piece for a card front and running glue down the indented lines and running those teeny tiny beeds all down in lines. And then mounting a design on top.
