November Club Couture - Reindeer Crossing // Come chalk with me!
-Surface: Door Tag (9" × 12")
-Tools: Color Trays, Fuzzing Cloth, Mini Squeegee, Small Squeegee
Shimmer Gold: reindeer and sleigh
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!

Chevron Pumpkin Shelf Leaner is now in my Etsy Shop // Go check it out!
I just added the Chevron Pumpkin Shelf Leaner to my Etsy Shop! It's so cute and can be used for Fall and Halloween.
This comes with 2 options: Painted by me or buy as a DIY Kit.
If you buy it painted by me, it comes with a Matte Black Round Base with a Chevron print scored into it. Then there is a Orange Pumpkin placed in the middle of the base, giving it a 3D feel.
If you buy the DIY Kit, you get each piece unfinished. That way you can paint it whatever colors you want to match your home decor. The Round Base is blank on the back. The pumpkin has an adhesive with a peel off backing so its easy to adhere onto the base. That means you don't have to worry about glue! I've got you covered! There is also 2 sponges include to paint each piece. Using a sponge to apply paint is an easy way and it leaves it without brush strokes. Paint is not included but can be purchased cheap at Target, Walmart, Amazon, Hobby Lobby, Joanns, Michaels or any craft store. You can even you paint from around the house!
These pieces are shelf leaners, which means they are meant to lean against something. It could lean on a 3 tiered tray or on a mantle. The possibilities are endless.
