I love Christmas time. It's one of my favorite holidays. But I feel that I really don't get to put too much time decorating as much as I would like due to working so many hours at UPS. But with 17 Peak's under my belt at UPS, I know how it goes. So I feel that this years Christmas 3 Tiered Tray was the last to finish while decorating. Every time I did the dishes, I would look over and tell my self to finish it up, but I didn't have the energy or the creative spark to do it. It also didn't help that we had our upstairs bathroom leak into our kitchen like a waterfall. But a few days before Christmas, I finally got it all together.
Top Tier
Starting from the left is a little collection of Christmas Trees. The glass trees I got in the Target Dollar section last year. Then there is a bottle brush tree that I also bought at Target last year. My favorite tree in this collection is a cookie from my friend Katie from Bee Love Cookie Co. She makes the BEST cookies! On the right, is my new Rae Dunn Ho Ho Ho Santa Topper Mug that I bought this year at Marshalls.
Middle Tier
From the left in the back is a snowflake decorative block that I made last Christmas time. In front of that is a red glass Christmas tree from the Target Dollar Section. In the middle is a candy cane tag that I made last year. On the right is my Rae Dunn Peppermint Kisses Mug that I think I got from Marshalls this year. Inside the mug is a Rae Dunn green Merry Xmas Spatula that I got from Marshalls. Hanging from the mug handle is a snowflake short wooden garland from Hobby Lobby.
Bottom Tier
From the left is my green Rae Dunn Elf Mug that I bought from Marshalls. Inside are some more small Rae Dunn Christmas spatulas. Next to the Mug is another clear glass Christmas tree from the Target Dollar section. In from of the clear tree is another amazing Merry Christmas Cookie from Bee Love Cookie Co. In the middle is a Joanna Parker Snowman shelf sitter that I bought from Marshalls last year. On the right is a red Rae Dunn Deck the Halls mug that I bought last year at Marshalls.
Next to 3 Tiered Tray
On the left of the 3 Tiered Tray is my Red Rae Dunn Ho Ho Ho Glass Bowl from Marshalls. On the Right is a Santa Claus, Iridescent Rae Dunn White Christmas Mug and a Season's Greeting Tablet holder that I made last year. This Santa is so special to me- It's was actually a musical status that was hand painted by my Grandma. My Grandma, Verleen, was the most amazing artist who could create anything. I am so thankful that I have some of her pieces that she made.

This transfer is so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. What ways can you use this transfer?
Supplies Included
-November Club Couture Transfer: Reindeer Parking
-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Black Velvet, Candy Apple, Shimmer Gold
Other Supplies Needed
-Surface: Door Tag (9" × 12") -Tools: Color Trays, Fuzzing Cloth, Mini Squeegee, Small Squeegee
Color and Placement Suggestions
Black Velvet: “up on the housetop”, “one night only” Candy Apple: “reindeer parking” Shimmer Gold: reindeer and sleigh
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 Reindeer Parking 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. Use your Mini Squeegee or Small Squeegee to smooth a small amount of paste over the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).
6. As you work through each detail and color, use your Squeegee(s) to clear 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, remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
8. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.
9. Reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.
10. Admire your new creation and get ready for the sound of reindeer on your roof!
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!

Need some joy in your life? Look no further than Chalk Couture™. The Joy Chalk Transfer® design is a traditional word in traditional lettering that will bring a smile to your face. The full design fits on any 5” x 7” surface, and individual letters look great on 3” x 3” Box Frames (item S2131111). Ornament yourself with some homemade joy this season. We think this looks especially great in Candy Apple (item P181112) and Bright White Chalkology® Paste (item P181121).
Images of vintage glass ornaments paired with an elegant script wording make this A-sized Transfer a classic piece you’ll chalk every single year. Ornaments look great chalked all in one color or you can be more detailed adding different colors with the help of Placement Tape (item T183101). This Transfer looks especially great on a Couture Boutique® Board & Pillar Stand (item S191107), but you can also use the sentiment or ornaments separately and individually on surfaces of your own choosing.
Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like a tree-mendous chalk project. This trio of trees is a fun way to spread joy about (a-bough-t?) your home. The main part of the design fits on any 5” x 7” surface, such as our Couture Boutique® Board & Pillar Stand (item S191107), or the trees can be used individually on 3” x 3” Box Frames (item S2131111). Add the stars to the top of the trees, or chalk around your surface as accents or a border. The Merry Christmas sentiment is a great size and can be used—with or without the trees—on any project.
We’ve taken it upon ourselves to bring a modern, whimsical style to the holidays this year. We took a swirly, curly touch and added it to a smooth font, then accented with a few bits and bobs that really add some charm to this A-sized Transfer. We love the look of this on a Couture Boutique® Bistro Spinning Sign (item S203103), especially when chalked in Shimmer Gold (item P191110) and Bright White (item P181121) Chalkology® Paste.
What happens when you take an array of favorite seasonal terms and mix them into a subway-art style design? You get all the hope of the holidays in one fun Chalk Transfer® design! With so many words in one design, there is magic to be created: chalk one word, choose your favorites, make some custom tags with the words that fit on Tag Minis (item S194121), or chalk them all as-is on any 8½” x 11” surface. We’ve shown this off on a 9” x 12” Door Tag (item S203108) paired with the Holiday Pine Transfer (item D2142132).
For every Holiday Hope Transfer sold, Chalk Couture will donate $2 USD to our charitable partner, Watts of Love®.
Fill your home with the magic of Santa with the Here Comes Santa Claus Transfer. This is a great one-and-done design that can be easily chalked all in one color and looks great on either white or black surfaces. We especially love the look here in Shimmer Crimson Chalkology® Paste (item P203133). Display this fun Santa silhouette next to a plate of cookies and glass of milk to let everyone know Santa’s coming!
The idea of searching the skies on Christmas eve is really just enchanting! And so is this Chalk Transfer® design. The full design can be used beautifully together, perhaps as a one-and-done in just one Chalology® Paste or Ink color; we’ve shown it here on our Pennant Banner (9” x 12”, item S193111). When you start to look at the individual elements, they start popping out in delightful ways. The reindeer fits beautifully on a Double-Sided Box Frame (5” x 5”, item S203104), or the words fit beautifully on any 8” or 9” square surface. Pair this with any of our other Christmas Transfers for a full holiday display.
This Transfer was designed especially to fit on our Snowflake Cutouts (item S2142118). There are two designs for the smaller Snowflake Cutout, and one design for the larger cutout. Plus, all line elements can be layered together with the two solid pieces to create a variety of looks. Whether you use this Chalk Transfer® design on our cutouts or on any other surface, we believe you’ll enjoy the flurry of options you have here.
Featuring the words from a classic Christmas poem by Clement Clarke Moore, this holiday Transfer looks dashing in any room and on any surface. It looks merry inked on our Lumbar Pillow Cover (item S181102) with an additional Transfer like either Deck the Halls or Christmas Eve. However you choose, you can confidently create something that will be as timeless as its poetic reference.
O, Christmas trees! The Tree Cutout Patterns Transfer was designed to coordinate with your Tree Cutouts (item S2142117), but it’s also a great Chalk Transfer® design by itself—four different tree designs with two dazzling star accents. When using these with our Tree Cutouts, you can make each tree double-sided, and then also chalk the stars and drop them in the notch at the top of the tree. Feel free to use this Transfer on ANY surface to adorn your holiday home. Who knew isosceles triangles could be so cute?
This Transfer is more fun than a sea of swirly twirly gumdrops. And the versatility, can we talk about the versatility?! Make yourself cute little sets of projects with our many sizes of Box Frames: The largest sentiment is designed specifically for a 6” x 18” Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203107), the “peppermint forest” design fits perfectly on a 5” x 7” Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203105), and accent pieces in the cut-apart elements can be used in any number of ways, together or apart. Our favorite Chalkology® Paste palette for this Transfer has been a combination of Black Velvet (item P181122), Bright White (item P181121), Candy Apple (item P181112), and Shimmer Silver (item P191111).
Four fun designs in one cut-apart Transfer? That’s some fa-la-fun, isn’t it?! We’ve designed these cut-apart elements to fit perfectly on our Simple Shapes Rectangles (item S2131114), perfect for ornaments, accents to wreaths, or you can stand them up on a shelf or buffet with our Simple Shapes Base (item S2131114). But don’t stop there! The stockings individually fit on our 3” x 3” Box Frames (item S2131111). Just as the Transfer says, this design is going to bring some real “joy to you & me!”
