Fall is here and that brings in October. October is one of my favorite months of the year. All the pumpkins, falling leaves and cooler nights bring my happiness levels way up. Walking up to my porch with pumpkins over flowing makes me smile every time I walk through my front door. Watching all the Halloween and Fall movies with my family and making homemade popcorn gives me joy.
This months Club Couture- Mighty Acorns - fits perfect for the whole Fall season. This can be done is come many different paste colors.

-Mini Squeegee
Created on the stained side of the Box Frame Currant Jam: background
Dune: foliage and sentiment
1. Line edges of Box Frame with Placement Tape. This will prevent the paste from coating the inner edges of the frame.
2. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles and cut them open. Squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
3. Begin by adding a small amount of water to the Currant Jam paste and lightly mixing it. Use a paint brush to coat the surface of the Box Frame and let dry. You can also use a Quick Dry Tool to speed the drying process. Remove Placement Tape.
4. Cut your Transfer along the provided cut lines to separate the foliage image from the sentiment.
5. Peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet and “fuzz” the Transfer by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward.
6. Off-set your foliage to the right side of the Box Frame; smooth the Transfer out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no bubbles or wrinkles.
7. Use your Mini Squeegee to apply paste over your Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Scrape away excess paste as evenly as possible. Once fully chalked, and before the paste dries, remove the Transfer from the surface.
8. Repeat the above steps as you chalk the sentiment on the left side of the Box Frame.
9. Immediately clean both pieces of your Transfer with cool water (do not let them soak).
10. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up. Once dry, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.
11. Display this dose of inspiration for yourself and others!
Our basic instructions go like this: choose a surface and Transfer, add some paste or ink, and start creating. With the Best Basics Chalk It Up Kit, you’ll have what you need to carry out those instructions and you’ll be well on your way to artistry!
This kit includes two of our favorite surfaces: Board & Base (perfect for A-sized Transfers) and a Sylvie White Frame (perfect for B-sized Transfers). Both surfaces are reusable with Chalkology Paste, and can be used in either landscape or portrait orientation. Plus, that Board & Base is reversible so you can have two projects to display all at once!
