Back to School 3 Tiered Tray // Come Craft with me!

Finally all 3 kids start school on Monday and I knew I had to celebrate by decorating my 3 tiered tray with a Back to School theme! I had so much fun creating personalized items for the kids. I'm not sure if you can tell I'm really excited for the kids to go back to school! 

I created most if these items from either Chalk Couture products or cutting items with my Glowforge. I had so much fun creating everything from designing, cutting out the pieces, chalking it to putting it all together on the 3 tiered tray. Plus I had to add in the perfect Rae Dunn mugs! 

Want more info on the Glowforge? Click Here!

Come see how I styled my Back to School 3 Tiered Tray! 

Top Tier

Starting from the left, I took a small tag and Chalked a Lightbulb using 1 of the 12 mini transfers from the Back to School Transfer. I used the Bumblebee Chalk Paste

Next, I cut out an Apple shape on my Glowforge and then painted it with black chalkboard paint. Then I used a Chalk Couture Transfer called "A Teacher's Influence". I used Bright White & Peony Chalk Paste as the colors. Want to see how I made it? Click Here! 

Next to that I used some Elmers Glue bottle, glue stick and some pencils as decorations. 

Middle Tier 

From the left, I Started with a Dream Rea Dunn Mug that is filled with pens and pencils. 

In front of that is an apple I cut on my Glowforge. I painted it with red paint and used a while paint marker to accent it. 

In the middle is a Back to School Sign I made using my Glowforge. This is a 2 piece sign. I painted the back section while. I painted the top section red. I then glued it together. 

Behind that on the right is a Rise & Shine Rae Dunn Mug. Inside the mug is some pens, pencils and a Custom Ruler with Kellan's name on it. I added his name with my Glowforge. 

Hanging off of the ruler is a small tag that I chalked a school bus onto. I used the Back to School Transfer. I added a small blue ribbon to the top. 

I used pencils to decorate.

Bottom Tier

Starting from the left is a Practice Makes Perfect Rae Dunn Mug. Inside the mug is Pens, Pencils and a personalized ruler with Arley's name on it. 

Hanging from the ruler is a Small tag with a Apple I cut out with my Glowforge. I painted the apple red before glueing onto the tag. 

In the middle is a pencil leaner sign I made using my Glowforge.  See how I made it her on my Tik Tok page: HERE

On the right side is a yellow Shine Bright Rae Dunn mug. Inside is some highlighters and a Small Tag that I chalked A+ again using the Back to School Transfer. I used Couture Teal Chalk Paste.

I then made 3 custom erasers with each of the kids names. I used my Glowforge to Score the names into the erasers. I then used my Glowforge to cut of the grades each of them will be in this year. 

Between the Tiers

Hanging between the Tiers is a Back to School banner that I made. I used my Glowforge to cut out all the letters and them painted and glued them on. 


Are you excited for your kids to go back to school?

August Club Couture - Kitchen Rules // Come chalk with me!

Kitchen décor is always a favorite! The August 2021 Club Couture™ Transfer takes subway art to a fun, farm-inspired level with a mix of fonts and phrases sure to delight. Show off your household rules all together in one color or change up colors on individual lines. Use it all together or select your favorite line(s) for a separate project.

This Transfer is an evergreen, all-year-round gift that keeps on giving! It looks great in the warm and fresh, country color palette we’ve chosen: Black Velvet, Sage, and Shimmer Copper, but it can also really cook in other colors of your choosing.



Supplies Included:

-Club Couture Transfer: Kitchen Rules
-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Black Velvet, Sage, Shimmer Copper

Supplies Needed:

-Surface: Double-Sided Box Frame (9" × 12")
-ToolsMini SqueegeesTransfer TrimmersColor TraysFuzzing ClothMulti-Tool


Color and Placement Suggestions

-Shimmer Copper: Swirls, rooster, spatula 
-Sage: “say please”, “enjoy family time” 
-Black Velvet: Other remaining sentiments

Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging and carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet.

2. “Fuzz” the Transfer by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward. This will make the Transfer easier to remove from the surface after you’ve applied the paste.

3. Center the Transfer on the surface, and smooth it out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles.

4. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles. Cut open the corner of each packet and squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.

5. Smooth a generous amount of Chalkology Paste over the Transfer using a squeegee or Multi-Tool (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). As you are working through each detail and color, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape it back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

6. For best results, use the chalk-and-pull method: Once you have finished chalking the top section of the design, peel back the Transfer just past the chalked portion and let the paste dry. This will allow you to work in smaller sections without having the paste dry in the screen, making the Transfer difficult to remove. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.

7. Once that section is dry, lay the Transfer back down and smooth out the unchalked section of the Transfer. Ensure that the next section is fully adhered, and repeat these steps for the remainder of the Transfer.

8. Slowly peel back the Transfer. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water and a Board Eraser. Do not leave the Transfer in water or let it soak.

9. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

10. Once the Transfer has been washed and dried, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store it flat.

11. Relish your creation and embrace the beauty of homemade projects!

July 2021 Club Couture - Bowl of Cherries // Come chalk with me!

Get ready for a Transfer that is flippin’ sweet! A burst of cherries with a whimsical handwritten font truly exemplifies a care-free summer. We think this Transfer looks crisp with the three harmonizing paste singles included with your Club Couture shipment: Cadet, Candy Apple, and Ocean Mist. Use the cherry icons multiple times to create an abundance of delicious fruit, or try adding them as an extra fun touch on other surfaces and accent pieces. 

This summer, we hope that you make memories that you will cherry-ish forever! 


Supplies Included:

-Club Couture Transfer: Bowl of Cherries
-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Cadet, Candy Apple, Ocean Mist

Supplies Needed:




Color and Placement Suggestions:

-Cadet: Full sentiment
-Candy Apple: Cherries, stems, and leaves 
-Ocean Mist: Water droplets


Follow these instructions to complete this project:


1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging and carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet.

2. “Fuzz” the Transfer element by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward. This will make the Transfer easier to remove from the surface after you’ve applied the paste.

3. Center the Bowl of Cherries Transfer on the surface. Smooth the Transfer out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles.

4. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles. Cut open the corner of each packet and squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.

5. Smooth a generous amount of Chalkology Paste over the Transfer using a squeegee or Multi-Tool (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 it back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

7. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in it, peel the Transfer back vertically from two parallel corners, instead of diagonally.

8. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water and a Board Eraser. Do not leave the Transfer in water or let it soak.

9. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

10. Once the Transfer has been washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet and store it flat.

11. Relish your creation and “cherryish” the beauty of homemade projects!

DIY Easy Peasy Beach sign - make your own Home Decor in Minutes! // Come Chalk with Me!


I needed a smaller beachy sign for my 3 Tiered Tray, and I knew I could make one. But I didn't want to go buy anything, so I started searching around the house. I went outside to look through the scrap wood pile and found a perfect small. I sanded it just a tad, and then painted it white. 

After it was dry, I sanded the top and edges to give it a vintage vibe. Then I grab the Beach Vibes Transfer (retired), Shimmer Splash Chalk Paste, a Small Squeegee and a stir stick

Here's the Beach Vibes Transfer (Retired) That I used

Beach Vibes Chalk Transfer | Chalking With Jessica 

I only used the top portion of the transfer that says "beach". Once cut, I laid the transfer on the block in the middle and pressed to make sure it was adhered. 

I opened the Shimmer Splash Chalk Paste and gave it a good stir with a Stir Stick. I normally add a spray or two of distilled water to make sure its not too dry. I have noticed that most of the shimmer pastes stay well. They don't get many clumps at all.

Once the paste is stirred up well, I take out a small amount with the Stir Stick and put it in the transfer. 


Then I take my Small Squeegee and spread the paste all over the mesh areas. 

Once completed covered in paste. Lift up the transfer from the wood and wash immediately. This will keep your transfers sticky and you can use it many times! 


Look how easy that was! Just imagine what you could make for your home.

June 2021 Club Couture - A Beautiful Thing // Come Chalk with Me!

What do you get when you pair a flowy, curvy sentiment with a gentle nod to Scandinavian design elements? You get a beautiful thing that is darn-near perfect! (Because as they say, “a beautiful thing is never perfect.”) Pairing the sentiment with the various cut-apart elements is an easy way to breathe life into this Transfer. We think this looks best with our classic Bright White Chalkology® Paste and the three brightly colored paste singles included with your Club Couture™ shipment: Couture Coral, Daffodil, and Eucalyptus.

The sweet hummingbird and floral accents are great for watercoloring techniques. Chalk the element, then add a bit of water to your paste, mix together, and paint inside the lines with a paintbrush.

We can’t wait to see how you’ll bring this bright and summery design together in all the most perfect ways.

Supplies Included:

-Club Couture Transfer: A Beautiful Thing

-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Couture Coral, Daffodil, Eucalyptus


Supplies Needed

-Surface: Sylvie White Frame (Black, 9" × 12")

-Chalkology Paste : Bright White

-Tools: Small Squeegee
Mini SqueegeeTransfer TrimmersColor TraysFuzzing Cloth


Color and Placement Suggestions

-Bright White: “A beautiful thing is never perfect”

-Couture Coral: Hummingbird, 5-petal flowers

-Daffodil: Round flowers

-Eucalyptus: Greenery


Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements.

2. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the element you’re using first.

3. “Fuzz” the Transfer element by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward. This will make the Transfer easier to remove from the surface after you’ve applied the paste.

4. Center the “A beautiful thing is never perfect” element on the surface. Smooth the Transfer out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles.

5. Knead your Chalkology Paste Singles. Cut open the corner of each packet and squeeze the desired amount of paste onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.

6. Smooth a generous amount of Chalkology Paste over the Transfer using a squeegee (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).

7. Once the screen portion of the design is completely covered, squeegee the excess paste off as evenly as possible and scrape it back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

8. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in it, peel the Transfer back vertically from two parallel corners, instead of diagonally.

9. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water and a Board Eraser. Do not leave the Transfer in water or let it soak.

10. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

11. Once the chalked sections are dry, repeat steps 2–10 for the hummingbird, floral, and greenery elements (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Let each layer of paste dry completely before adding additional paste layers.

12. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet to each and store them flat.

13. Relish your creation and embrace the beauty of homemade projects!
