My take on May Club Couture - Love Conquers All


I finally got a chance to get to my Club Couture Transfer since my youngest was down for a nap and the other kids weren't being too needy and were watching TV. I knew this was my time to get some chalking in!

I'll show you all my steps and walk you through the process.

Here's what you need to make this: 
Club Couture Transfer
Chalk Pastes 
A Surface
Fuzzing Cloth
Small Squeegee
Stir Sticks

1. First things first is picking out your chalk colors you want to use. I wanted to use pastels for this so I used:

Seafoam (retired)
Bright White 
Wisteria
Morning Sky 
Peony  
2. Before starting, I like to stir all the chalk paste, so it has a good consistency when I am ready to use  it.  

3. Next I lay my surface down and figure out how I want my transfer to lay on it. Then I fuzz the transfer so it doesn't stick to surface too much. You don't want to ruin a transfer by it being too sticky and stretching it. 


4. Lay your transfer down on your surface and make sure that it has adhered well. To get crisp lines, press down and make sure there are no air bubbles. 


5. Start chalking! Start with the 1st color at the top and work your way down. That way if you need to lift it, you can pull down, but continue to chalk. 
      ***Tip- To make sure your chalk doesn't dry before its ready to take the transfer off, you can you the lift method. Chalk a section, and then lift just enough where you have chalked. Either hold and let it dry (long way) or hold and dry with hair dryer (short way). I didn't have my hair dryer handy so I just let it dry. Once its dry, which doesn't take too long, carefully lay it down, but don't press it down. Just press down where you haven't chalked again if it lifted a bit.



6. Once you have completed everything, go wash your transfer! I like to wash it right away because sometimes the paste or ink will stain it. I like my transfers to look new so I try to take care of them the best I can. I have the best way to wash them and let them air dry too! Ill have to make a blog post soon! Wash your squeegees and your stir sticks too while you are at it! I normally only use 1 squeegee, and just clean it with a baby wipe between colors. Saves on cleaning time. 

7. All done! Time to show off your masterpiece! 


I LOVE how this turned out! What do you think? 
 I can't wait to see what June's Club Couture will be!

The Retired Vault is opening!





Yes--- The Vault is opening and is bring back 3 retired transfers. You heard me right! 

But what is the Transfer Vault? Retiring our Chalk Transfer™ designs is an important part of keeping our inventory fresh, relevant, and on-trend, but we know sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye to your favorites. Releasing strategic, retired designs from the “Transfer Vault” is an opportunity for you purchase select designs again—and if you’re new to Chalk Couture, the Vault means you can get them for the first time! Releases will typically include between three and six top, previous designs—available in a limited quantity, for a limited time.

When will Transfer Vault designs be released? The Chalk Couture vault opens twice per year, typically in late spring and early autumn (we aim for May and August, but check timely updates from Chalk Central to be sure when a Transfer Vault release is coming!)

How can we get them? Transfer Vault releases will be available through the “Specials and Deals” tab in your Designer Office and on your Chalk Site.

Will there be a limit to how many I can order?
 Yes, each Transfer design will have a limit of five at launch. This limit may be lifted, depending on demand. 

How long will the Transfer Vault designs be available? 
Limited quantities will be released of each design, so they are only while supplies last. The Transfer Vault closes when special order quantities are exhausted or typically a month after release, whichever comes first.

When will we know which designs you plan to release? 
You won’t, but that’s all part of the fun! You will not get a sneak peek to any of the Transfer Vault designs, but will see them the day they launch in your Specials & Deals tab in your Designer Office or on your Chalk Site.

How will the Transfer Vault releases help build my Designership?
 We’ll place marketing collateral in your Designer Office to share with customers. You can use this release to boost your PV by:
•   Offering customers a “second-chance” at purchasing select favorite retired designs. 
•   Creating a sense of urgency, because the designs will be offered in limited quantity for a  limited time. 
•   Marketing these “favorites” while continuing to focus on our line of current, fresh designs.

May Club Couture - Love Conquers All



Finally- It's May! It seems like this year has had 17 months so far, but no- just 5! There is no better way to start off May than with a great new Club Couture! The month is - Love Conquers All. An enchanting phrase with delicate accents brings something lovely to life with this exclusive transfer. 


Heres what you get this month:
Love Conquers All Transfer - B Size
Paste Single Packets in: Guava, Couture Teal, Peachy Keen

Supplies Needed
Club Couture™ Transfer: Love Conquers All
Chalkology™ Paste Singles: Guava, Couture Teal, Peachy Keen

Color and Placement for Club Couture: Love Conquers All
1. Border: Peachy Keen
2. Love and All: Guava
3. Conquers: Couture Teal

Follow these instructions to complete the Club Couturproject:
1. Prepare your Chalk Transfer by removing it from the packaging.

2. When you remove the backer from the Transfer screen, be sure to “fuzz” each element to gentle the adhesive by sticking the adhesive screen to a Fuzzing Cloth or terry cloth towel to pick up a bit of lint before applying it to your board.

3. Position the first element and smooth to adhere to your surface, ensuring there are no bubbles.

4. Prepare your Chalkology Paste by kneading the packet, trimming off the corner, and squeezing the desired amount onto your Color Trays or another palette surface. Stir paste if using 3 US fl. oz. jar.

5. Use a generous amount of Chalkology Paste on the Small Squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer (see color and placement suggestions).

6. Once the screen portion of the design is completely covered, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape unused paste back into the jar  or palette. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result.

7. Use the “chalk-and-pull” method to carefully pull up the top part of the Transfer (with wet paste) before it dries. Carefully lay the Transfer back down on your surface.

8. Continue spreading the next paste color and repeat the “chalk-and-pull” method to pull the Transfer (with wet paste) off the surface before it dries.


9. When all colors are complete, carefully peel back the Transfer before the paste dries and immediately put it in water to clean.

10. Once clean, let dry with the sticky side up.

11. Once all the Transfer elements are clean and dry, reapply all backers and store flat.
