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 Love Transfer on the surface, and smooth it out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no 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. Starting from the top, use your Mini Squeegee to apply color over your Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Once the screen portions of the design are completely covered, use your tool to remove excess paste as evenly as possible; excess paste can be scraped back into the tray. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.
6. For best results, divide your project into sections and use the chalk-and-pull method. This allows you to work in smaller sections without having the paste dry in the screen, which would give you patchy results. Chalk the top section of the design and peel back only that portion of the Transfer to let the paste dry on the surface before continuing (use the Quick Dry Tool for a faster dry). To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.
7. Gently lay the Transfer back down over the chalked section. Ensure that the next section is fully adhered, and repeat these steps as you work your way down the Transfer.
8. Once your design is fully chalked and before the paste dries, remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
9. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up. Once completely dry, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.
10. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up. Once completely dry, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.
11. Get ready for Valentine's Day and show off your lovely creation!
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!
What is your love language? I like to create things for the people I love!
Do you make stuff for your home? Let me know! I would love to hear all about it!
You have heard me talk about it and you have seen my projects- so what is Chalk Couture?
Chalk Couture is a craft product that is both can be temporary and permanent. There is 2 types of product that is used. There is chalk paste which is a normally a temporary if put on the proper surface. And then there is Ink which is permanent after being heat set. The best part is the transfers!!! There are so many transfers that fit for every occasion possible. With all theses items, your projects are endless.
As a busy working mom, I don't have time to spend hours on creating cute chalk boards and buying a ton of different seasonal decorations to be used one. As a crafter, I love to make my own holiday decorations and have made so many decorations with Chalk Couture items. You wanna make a pillow for Christmas and than use that same design on a chalk board- you can do that! You want to make tea towels for a group of people- you can do that!
Here is a breakdown of what Chalk Couture has to offer:
Transfers- these are reusable silk screen stencils in a variety of sizes from 5" x 7" all the way to 18" x 24" with designs and patterns for just about every occasion. These transfers can used 8-12 times so you really get your money's worth! Some transfers come with one designs, while other transfers can be cut apart. There is even transfers that cut into 12 small transfers that fit perfect on chalkable chips - 3" circles are a chips that are ideal mini project.
Chalk Paste- Which is known as Chalkology™ Paste - comes in 30 colors, 3 shimmer and 5 en vogue (limited) color and in 3 fl oz containers - which also can be combined to create an unlimited amount of colors! These are think pastes the become fully dry in about 5-10 minutes or faster with a heat gun. They are easy to use. They glide on easy to the transfer and what ever is not used can go back into the paste pot. You will be able to utilize every bit - even if they dry out a bit- add water and stir and they come back to life. No waste here!Can also be applied to other nonporous surfaces such as mirrors, windows, glass, painted walls, and painted furniture. Hard, matte finish when dry. Used chalk but want to make it permanent?!?- spray with a clear aerosol sealer. Or change it up each season ( as long as its not on a porous surface) and spray with water and wipe clean. Ready to use for your next decoration.
Ink - Which is known as Chalkology™ Ink - Come in 23 different colors which include shimmer colors and in 3 fl oz containers. Who doesn't love a little shimmer! Chalkology™ Ink is specially formulated for use with Chalk Transfers™ and Chalk Couture™ surfaces. Ink offers permanent color when heat set and is ideal for fabric, apparel, and glass. Want to make shirts for the kids- than this is your go to!
Accessories- Tools are what make the job easy and create an amazing piece or work. So making sure you have the right tools is the key. You need to use paste in a small area - there is a tool for that! You want to use one color for the whole project - there is a tool for that too! Need to wax a project before - yep! You guessed it! There is a toolfor that as well! And they are all so easy to clean up too!
Surfaces- Last but definitely not least- these are a big one! I have used Chalk Couture surfaces and I have you non Chalk Couture surfaces. It really just depend on your project. But Chalk Couture has amazing surfaces to use. Did you want a framed surface or a pillow case? Or maybe a banner will work best for your project. Whatever it is, Chalk Couture most likely has. And if not- Hobby Lobby does!
Whatever you reasons, do it with me! As a long time crafter, this has to be one of the easiest crafts around. The best part is that anyone can do it- you don't need to be crafty to do great at this.
Have questions or want to try it out with me? Let me know! I will be having chalk parties, make and takes and Ladies nights soon!

Reclaimed surfaces bring a heartwarming, antique feel to home décor. Their one-time application makes them perfect for long-lasting pieces that can be dressed up or dressed down to fit any space. You can point out the opportunity to experiment with new surfaces, and remind subscribers to reuse their Club Transfers, or perhaps create some beautiful gifts to share.
Will Club members have to pay shipping on their free surface?
Yes, but remember that Club Couture subscribers always receive low, flat-rate shipping of $4.95 no matter what’s in the order, so the addition of the free surface doesn’t increase shipping cost on their order!

No. This promotion is limited to one free surface per customer.
Subscribers will love that just one qualifying order will earn them three free Creative Kickstart Transfers, as well as an incredible reclaimed surface to bring their creativity to life. You'll say goodbye to January blahs and reclaim the new year in style!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day—and every other day of the year—with those you love most with this fun confetti-inspired design. Create an ombré effect using your choice of traditional Valentine colors like Raspberry Sorbet, Candy Apple, Peony, or Bright White.
Can we talk about how cute this Transfer is?! For anyone who is the milk to your cookie, the cheese to your macaroni, you’re going to need to put your paste to this Transfer. This playful and flirty message captures all the fun of being in love. We love the look of this on a Pallet Sign (5½" x 7½") or any Chalk Couture A-sized surface (5" x 7").
Snarky. Cheeky. True. The gentle reminder to “Refrain From Whining” applies to kids, adults, coworkers, customers, and more. This old-fashioned font gives your project a vintage feel with modern sass.
Whether it’s a sign at Grandma’s house or a piece of Valentine’s décor, every time is the right time for “Hugs & Kisses.” The small, cut-apart icons are great to accent the larger sentiment and can be easily repeated to create backgrounds.
With the Confection Candy Hearts Transfer, your finished projects will be a sweet topic of conversation. This cut-apart Transfer captures an iconic part of Valentine’s Day with flirtatious phrases and just a little sass. Create a whole set of iconic, romantic hearts by layering pieces together in bright or pastel colors.
This Transfer will be good all year long and is perfect in any chalk or ink colors you have on hand. It’s a great one-and-done that reminds us why we love love.
If you’re looking for something to make as wedding gifts, to give to your one and only, or display in your home, the Hold Onto Each Other Transfer will be your go-to. The sans serif font mixed with an elegant script makes this design both feminine and masculine. It’s a classic, evergreen Transfer that you’ll be reaching for all year round.
Cut this Transfer apart and use the convenient registration marks to build a playful rainbow. Select bright and varied color palettes for a playful style, or go for a more refined look with softer hues. If you’re somewhat over the rainbow, try using just the “I love you” portion of the sentiment separately. Create beautiful pennants, wall hangings, and more in mere minutes.
Talk about heart to get! You’ll be pumped to try four different patterns, all in one Transfer. These fit on both sides of our Heart Cutouts (5¼" and 7”), but also look great on any chalkable or inkable surface. Stick with traditional Valentine hues, coordinate with the pigments in your home, or try a funky color combo that’s fresh for February 14 and beyond.
This Transfer fits well on a Square Pillow Cover (17½" x 17½”) or any D-sized surface (18" x 18”). The meaningful sentiment looks great as a one-and-done, though highlighting select words or birds in accent colors really helps them fly off the surface.
Hubba hubba! These hearts can’t be beat (especially when paired with the Heart Patterns Transfer). You’ll fall right in love with every heart-shaped creation. (5¼" and 7”)
