I love to see all the different ways that other designers use the Club Couture transfer each month. It amazes me the creativity that people have and the designs that they make are amazing!

August Club Couture - Rise Up - Styled different ways
Wednesday, August 12, 2020
My take on the August Club Couture - Rise Up
A sweet Irish sentiment is the perfect way to start any journey. Having an Irish Heritage, this has a special place in my house and heart. My husband is Irish too, so there is a lot of Irish pride in our house. We even joke that our 1st born, Kellan, is so Irish since he was born with red hair and born in March. He is our Irish baby!
I really like the August Club Couture - I love that you can use the border separately too! This was a really easy and fast transfer to do. I didn't even need to use the Paste and Peel method.
I knew that I wanted to use 3 paste colors, but there are so many great choices, it took me a few minutes to find which ones that I wanted to use. When I joined Chalk Couture as a Designer, I got this great 9 x 12 framed chalkboard called the Couture Gallery Aiden Style White Frame that I have used for almost all of my Club Couture Transfers. They fit perfect and I love the frame on it. It gives it a farmhouse feel.
Let me show you how I styled mine.

August Club Couture- Rise Up!
Supplies Needed
-Club Couture Transfer: Rise up
-Chalkology Paste Singles: Couture Coral, Tide, Ocean Mist
-Tools: Mini Squeegee (2), Small Squeegee, Color Trays, and Fuzzing Cloth
-Surface: Double-Sided Box Frame (9" × 12")
Color and Placement for Club Couture
1. Frame: Ocean Mist
2. “May the road” and “to meet you”: Couture Coral
3. “Rise up”: Tide
Follow these instructions to complete the Club Couture project:
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” it 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 Transfer and smooth to adhere to your surface, ensuring there are no bubbles.
4. Prepare each Chalkology Paste by kneading the packet, tearing off the corner, and squeezing the desired amount onto one of 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 Squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer (see color and placement suggestions below) according to your color preferences for each element of the design.
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 as needed to carefully pull back the top part of the Transfer (with wet paste) before it dries. Carefully lay the Transfer back down on your surface and continue with other elements.
8. When finished, slowly peel back the Transfer before the paste dries and immediately put it in water to clean thoroughly.
9. Once clean, let dry with the sticky side up.
10. Once all the Transfer elements are clean and dry, reapply all backers and store flat.
Until then...

This oh, so, amazing offer is exclusive to Preferred Customers and easy for you! Club Couture customers’ Bounceback rewards are ready to use this month.
Club Couture customers who spent a minimum of $50 USDin a single order on my Chalk Site in July can redeem $20 USD off an August product order of at least $100 USD. (Coupon can only be used August 1 to 31, 2020)
How does it work?
Redemption happens entirely on my Chalk Site:
- When they placed their qualifying order last month, Qualified Club Couture subscribers received an email to let them know they earned a Bounceback reward to be used on an August order (good August 1 to 31, 2020). They will also receive an email on August 1 reminding them of their bounceback offer.
- Club Couture customers must be logged in to my Chalk Site to redeem their bounceback. They will see a coral banner at the top of the site they can click to redeem.
- One coupon per customer.
- Coupons can only be applied to orders of at least $100 USD. Qualifying amount must be placed in a single order and is based on product subtotal only (excludes shipping and tax).

FREE SHIPPING FOR CLUB COUTURE CUSTOMERS
What is the promotion?
FREE Shipping! If a flat-shipping rate is good, FREE is fantastic! All through August, Club Couture subscribers can enjoy free shipping on all orders.
Added bonus: Many of you are Club Couture customers, and have also earned bounceback rewards this month, so you save even more.
What if my customers place multiple orders in August?
Free shipping is available with EVERY order in August. When a Club Couture subscriber checks out for their first order or their fifth, the $4.95 USD/$9.95 CAD flat shipping rate will be waived.
What if a new club member joins in August? Is shipping on her August orders also free?
If a new customer joins Club Couture in the month of August, they will NOT qualify for free shipping if they choose to purchase the current month’s Club Couture Transfer or the Kickstart Kit as part of their subscription process. (Until the “subscription” process is completed, they’re not quite a Club member yet.) However, once they have completed the subscription process they will qualify for free shipping on every other order placed in August.
Thats a lot of GOOD stuff! Chalk Couture is chalked full of goodies and they will have more to come within the upcoming months! Stay tuned!
