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!
This year it took me quite a while to take down my Christmas decorations. I was just so done with the Holidays and I wasn't looking forward to putting everything away. I want to say it took me 3 weeks into January before everything was put away. So I was in no hurry to decorate for Valentines day. I was more excited to create my Valentines 3 Tiered Tray (Click to read all about it).
I did have a few items that I was really excited to make from the Chalk Couture Winter Warm-Up Mini Launch. With 10 new Transfers, most Valentines related, I knew I could create some awesome items for my Mantel. Plus I have a few Valentines transfers from previous catalog launches, so I had my alot to pick from to create my mantel.
Come check out my Mantel!
Can you guess how many items I chalked on my Mantel?
4!
Lets start from left to right:
1st item on the Mantel is the Tile that I added scrapbook paper with Modge Podge. Once that dried, I used the Confection Candy Hearts Transfer. This is a great and easy craft to do with anyone!
2nd item is Large Magnetic Chalk Board that I found at Marshalls! This was a great find! and I knew that this would be great for the Wings to Fly Transfer. I used bright white and I loved how it turned out. Want to see how I made this: Click Here!
3rd Item is small wooden light pink block that says "Kiss Me". This block came in a 3 piece set from the Dollar Spot at Target for $3!
4th item is a Painted Wooden sign that I used the retired Love Heart Transfer in Bright White Chalk Paste.
5th item is a metal bike sign that I got at Hobby Lobby I think on clearance. It was just too cute to pass up!
6th item is the 2nd Pink "Love You" block from the 3 pack from the Dollar Spot at Target.
This year I had a great time creating my Valentines Day 3 Tiered Tray. I made a few more items with Chalk Couture to add from last year. I was so excited that I was able to find quite a few Valentines Rae Dunn Mugs. And after a few trips to Hobby Lobby and Target I knew I was set for all my Valentines Day Decor around the house. That was until I remember to look in the garage for my Valentines Day decor from the previous years. That was when I found 8 MORE Rae Dunn Mugs! Um.... so 14 mugs total! Don't tell my husband! I even have a double! Whoops! But I always say you can never have enough Rae Dunn... and Chalk Couture!
I got each of the kids a bag that I filled with candy and a heart box of Chocolates. Plus some yummy soft sugar cookies! I got my husband a bottle of wine.
Tier 1
I start with a Wink Wink Rae Dunn Mug. Inside the Mugs, I placed a chalked shelf sitter with a XOXO mini transfer from the Sprinkled with Love Transfer. I also put 2 glitter hearts from Hobby Lobby. I bought a small white framed chalk board and added the XOXO and hearts from the Hugs & Kisses Transfer. I then placed that inside a red candle holder. To top it off, I used a red & White Bead Garland with a wooden heart.
Tier 2
I start with a Red XOXO Rae Dunn Mug on the left. Inside the Mug, I placed some more glitter hearts along with a heart cookie cutter. Then I added Couple Goals Rae Dunn Mug to the right. In front of the mugs is a wooden faux wooden roller pin that says "Made with Love" from Hobby Lobby. Hanging off that roller pin is a small wooden sign that says "You are Loved" from Hobby Lobby.
Tier 3
The bottom tier starts with a Heart Rae Dunn Mug to the left. Inside the mug is 2 spatulas - 1 white with XOXO's from Target and a Red with XOXO from Rae Dunn. Also inside the heart Mug is a glitter heart. In the Middle is a small pink bowl from Ikea. Inside the pink bowl is a shelf sitter with a chalk I "heart" You mini transfer from the Sprinkled with Love Transfer. On the right is the light pink Soul Mate Rae Dunn Mug with a few glitter hearts. I filled the bottom with Hersheys kisses.
On the right of the 3 Tiered Tray, I made a Valentines Tablet Holder with the Love Knows No Boundaries Transfer. I used 4 different pinks and I did the Ombre' effect to make the colors blend together!
To the left of the 3 Tiered Tray is a Pink sign that I painted with Pink paint and then used Black Velvet Chalk Paste with Love Brings Us Home Transfer that is retired.
In front of that is a box of yummy cookies from Target with a Shelf Sitter on top that I used the February 14th mini transfer from the Sprinkled with Love Transfer. This transfer is currently in the Last Change Section so once its gone, its gone for good! I really love this transfer!
Do you decorate Valentines Day?
I really enjoyed creating this years Valentines Day 3 Tiered Tray! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Do you make stuff for your home? Let me know! I would love to hear all about it!
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.
When I received this transfer in the Winter Warmup Pack, I knew just what I wanted to put it on. I bought this pack of chalkboards on stands that fit a Size A transfer perfectly. The best part is that they are double sided so you get double the usage! Who doesn't love that!
Let me show you how I used this You Are Transfer. This is perfect for Valentines Day or any time to show someone you love them!
**Best part about these supplies is that one you buy them, you can use them over and over with other projects!
Step 1
Get everything you need into your work area. Open up and stir your chalk pastes so that are ready to go.
Step 2
Fuzz your You Are Transferwith the Fuzzing Cloth. You want to do this so it doesn't get stuck to the chalkboard surface.
Step 3
Lay your transfer down on the chalkboard stand in the position you want. Once you find your exact placement, push down and make sure it has adhered well. Place some washi tape over the heart.
Step 4
With your Mini Squeegee, apply the Bright White Chalk Paste to all words except for the heart. If this took you a little while to do, you could use the paste and pull method. Now take the washi tape off of the heart and take the Multi-tool and dip it slightly into the Raspberry Sorbet chalk paste and paste the heart.
Step 5
Now its time to pull up your transfer and see your masterpiece! Make sure you are pulling evenly so it doesn't stretch the transfer.
Step 6
Time to clean that transfer! Clean immediately with cold water and a board eraser. These work wonders and making your transfer look brand new. After cleaning, I lay the transfer sticky side up and a clear plastic cutting board from the Dollar Tree. Its flexible and can hold a few small clean transfers when they are drying. Plus its easy to clean and store. Once clean, let dry. Once dry, place the backer back on the sticky side of the transfer.
Do you decorate Valentines Day?
I love to create my mantel for each holiday!
Do you make stuff for your home? Let me know! I would love to hear all about it!
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”)
