August 2023 Club Couture - County Fair // Time to get crafting!


Create an award-winning project with the County Fair Chalk Transfer® design, using Currant Jam, Papaya, and Pesto Chalkology® Paste Singles. Give those farmer’s market judges pumpkin to talk about when you feature the new and exclusive, coordinating Chalkable Shape!

Did you see what's new with Club Couture?! Now with each month's transfer, you now get a chalkable shape that coordinates with the transfer. How cool is that! 

Ready to make this month's Club Couture transfer? Follow along! 

This August shipment includes Currant Jam, Papaya, and Pesto Chalkology® Paste Singles. 

Supplies Included

-Club Couture Chalk Transfer® design: County Fair
-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Currant Jam, Papaya, and Pesto*
-Coordinating accessory: Couture Boutique® Chalkable Shapes Pumpkin

Additional supplies
-Pallet Sign (9" × 12")
-Color Trays
-Mini Squeegees
-Fuzzing Cloth
-Quick Dry Tool
-hot glue gun

Color and Placement Suggestions

Currant Jam: flags and award ribbon 
Papaya: pumpkin
Pesto: text

Follow these instructions to complete this project:

  1. Remove the Transfer Backer Sheet and “fuzz” the Transfer on a Fuzzing Cloth. Center the Transfer on your Pallet Sign; smooth out the Transfer to ensure that it has properly adhered and there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

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

  3. For best results when applying paste, divide your project into sections and use the chalk-and-pull method. To perform this method, apply paste one section at a time (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”) using a squeegee. Once you have chalked a section, and before the paste dries, peel back the Transfer (without removing it from the surface completely) and let the paste dry before continuing. Use a Quick Dry Tool to expedite the drying process, then lay the Transfer back down over the chalked section.

  4. Repeat steps as necessary, until the design has been completely chalked. Remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak). Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

  5. Allow the Transfer to dry completely before using it again to apply paste to your Chalkable Shape.

  6. Clean and care for the Transfer according to the instructions given in step 4. Once dry, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.

  7. To add extra dimension to your project, use hot glue to adhere the Chalkable Shape to the Pallet Sign.

  8. Display this award-winning piece with pride!

Trick or Treat Kits are here! // Only for $24.99 //Come chalk with me

Who doesn't love a good Halloween project?!? I know I do!  So this is such a great project to do thats pretty easy!

I think this ChalkMade™ kit is simply bootiful. Give us candy. Give us cake. Give us something sweet to make! Treat yourself with a little handmade happiness this Halloween with this spooktacular felt banner and its coordinating accessories.

This kit includes one of each of the following:

  • Stitched decorative banner (9½” x 12½”)
  • Exclusive B-sized Chalk Transfer® design
  • Chalkology® Paste singles in Bright White and Orange Peel
  • 2 Color Trays
  • Mini Squeegee
  • Wooden dowel
  • Tassel accent
  • Printed instructions
Color and Placement Suggestions

Bright White: “Or”, Bats 
Orange Peel: “Trick”, “Treat”

Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.

2. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet.

3. Center the Transfer on the Stitched Decorative Banner. 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 the Mini Squeegee (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”), pressing the paste completely through the screen.

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, 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. Insert the wooden dowel at the top of the Stitched Decorative Banner.

11. Attach the tassel accent to the wooden dowel as desired.

12. Thread the ribbon through the holes of the wooden dowel and tie a knot at each end.

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

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

Teacher's Influence // DIY Back to School crafts // Come craft with me!

So I have been using Chalk Couture for a while now. I also had my eye on a Glowforge for quite a while and then finally ordered one a few months ago. I have seen people use a combination of both Chalk Couture and cut outs from a Glowforge. I think that's what pushed me to get a Glowforge, and to use them together, and get a really custom feel to my crafts. 

So I finally created something specifically for a Chalk Couture Transfer! I used the Teacher's Influence Transfer (retired) and cut out an Apple shape with my Glowforge. It was actually really easy to do. 

Come see how I used this in my Back to School 3 Tiered Tray: Click Here! 

Come see how I made this! 

Step 1: Design the Apple cut out. I use my Silhouette Business Edition software to do this. And since I have the upgraded software, I can save them into SVG's, which is needed for the Glowforge to be able to cut the design. 

Step 2: Place the Chalk Couture Transfer inside the Glowforge. It will scan the transfer so you will know what size you will be the cut out to be. 

Step 3: Upload the design into the Glowforge App and size it according to the size of the transfer. Once you find the perfect size, take the transfer out and replace with preferred material. I used MDF, which is a smooth wood material. It's easy to paint and is so smooth.

Step 4: Hit the print button and watch the magic happen! I love watching it work! 

Step 5: Once cooled, take out Apple Cut out out. Get all your paint supplies ready. 

Step 6: I love to lay my projects on a masking material so it doesn't move around while painting. I use the masking on wood products that need a little protection while using the laser. 

Step 7: I used black paint and applied it with a sponge. I'm telling you that this is a game changer! It goes on like butter! So easy to do and clean up is pretty easy. You can either wash sponge and let air dry or you can wait for the section on paint to dry on it and then cut it off. I have used makeup wedge sponge so many times by cutting them up! 

Step 8: Once the paint is dry, it's time to chalk! Grab you Chalk Pastes and give them a good stir. Add in some distilled water if needed but then new Chalk Pastes are amazing! Grab your transfer and a Fuzzing Cloth and fuzz well. I mean REALLY FUZZ! Use the back courser side of needed. You don't want to pull any paint off the Apple cut out. 

Step 9: Lay your fuzzed transfer down and start applying you Chalk Paste to the transfer. I used 2 different Chalk Pastes colors. 

Step 10: Once you are done applying Chalk Paste, lift transfer up and wash it well. Let air dry and once dry, replace backer sheet. 

You are all done! Now it's time to show off your new DIY Teacher's Influence Apple you made! 


It may seem like a lot of steps, but I promise it is really easy! 

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

I know I am!
