Life is Better at the Beach Tablet Stand // Easy DIY Home Decor // Come chalk with me!

Want an easy to DIY that's easy to make and easy to change? Well you have found it! The Tablet Stand has been a game changer to add to my Decorated 3 Tiered tray. It's easy to chalk on, cleans off easy so you are ready to change it for the next holiday. 

I've had my eye on a transfer and when I decided to redo my 3 Tiered Tray with my Beach stuff, I knew the Life is Better at the Beach Transfer was perfect! I use this in the kitchen while cooking. I just place my tablet in it to keep my recipes available but out of the way. 

Want to see how I made it? Follow along!

Supplies Needed: 
Tablet Stand from Hobby Hobby
Life is Better at the Beach Transfer (retired)

Step 1
Get all your supplies together. Open the Couture Teal Chalk Paste  and Tide Chalk Paste and stir it well using a Stir Stick.

Step 2
Fuzz the transfer usin the Fuzzing Cloth. Don't be afraid to fuzz it alot. If it seems really sticky, it might need quite a few fuzzings. Since the new transfers seem to be stickier, fuzz fuzz FUZZ! You don't want that to pull up the back ground up when removing the transfer. 

Step 3
Press the transfer onto the surface firmly and grab the Stir Stick and apply the Couture Teal Chalk Paste onto the top of the transfer. Take the small squeegee and glide the Paste all over the transfer covering all mesh areas until you hit the last word -Beach. Only chalk with Couture Teal Chalk Paste on the top part of the word. Now take your Tide Chalk Paste and start from the bottom of the word Beach, but leave a small amount in the middle. There should be a line in between the 2 colors that has no paste. Then you are going to take your finger and combine the two colors. I like to use the motion of going up and down all the way across. you don't want to go side to side as it will not make the best ombre effect. Once fully chalked, pull the transfer from the top to bottom holding both ends, making sure to not stretch the transfer. Now since these new transfers seem to be more stickier that the older one, evenly pulling the transfer is important. 

Step 4
Clean your transfer right away. This will ensure more uses. To clean larger transfers, I clean them in the shower. Make sure the wall is clean and place the dirty transfer on there. Use the shower head to clean with cold water. Grab your board eraser and clean both sides. Once clean, hang or lay sticky side up until dry. Once dry, apply backer and store away. 

Now enjoy your creation! 
How cute is my Beachy 3 Tiered Tray?

My Beachy 3 Tiered Tray with all of my favorite beach items! // Plus create custom Home Decor // Come Chalk with Me!

If you know me, you know I love the ocean. So my home has a lot of ocean vibes and colors. I love to create my beachy ocean 3 tiered tray! With all of the holidays, I don't feel that it gets enough time up since 4th of July is so close. I may just have to put it back up after the 4th! 

Come see how I styled my Beachy 3 Tiered Tray! 


Want to check out last years Beach 3 Tiered Tray? 
Click HERE! 


Top Tier
One if my favorite Rae Dunn Mugs is my Vitamin Sea Mug! That's why it's on the top! I placed 2 star fish inside on the top. Next to the mug is a tea light candle holder in a muted ocean blue color. I bought a set of these a long time ago and love to use them whenever I can. Then I used the Ocean colored wood bead garland that I made last year. 


Middle Tier
This tier holds another one of my favorite Rae Dunn Mugs - Beach Please. I actually bought Beach Please and Vitamin Sea as a set from Poshmark for too much money, butI knew I would never find them in Lodi. Next to the mug is another blue candle holder that has a vintage mercury feel. Ive also had this handle holder for a long time and have used it so many times. Front and center is a painted and distressed wooden white whale that my mom bought me. We used it in my youngest sons nursery. The wooden bead garland continues throughout this tier as well.


Bottom Tier
I found this adorable blue Rae Dunn short Paradise candle a few weeks ago in Marshalls. I love the color and felt that it would go perfect with my Beachy Decor. On the other side is another Rae Dunn Mug - Create your own Sunshine. Who doesn't need a little sunshine... make sure to create your own and share! From and center is a sign I made from scraps and Chalk Couture products. Come check out the blog post on how I made it HERE! In the back is the matching vintage looking candle holder from the middle tier. To finish it off, I brought the wooden beaded garland all the way across and hanging off the side. 


Left Side
I've had this small framed picture with a print from Katie Daisy inside for a long time. I love to use it around the house since it is so pretty.
 

Right Side
I have used this Tablet Stand so many times and love changing it up for each change up of the 3 Tiered Tray. This time I created the Tablet Stand with the Life is better at the Beach Transfer. I loved making this with the ombre technique. To see how I made this, Click Here to read all about it!

DIY Easy Peasy Beach sign - make your own Home Decor in Minutes! // Come Chalk with Me!


I needed a smaller beachy sign for my 3 Tiered Tray, and I knew I could make one. But I didn't want to go buy anything, so I started searching around the house. I went outside to look through the scrap wood pile and found a perfect small. I sanded it just a tad, and then painted it white. 

After it was dry, I sanded the top and edges to give it a vintage vibe. Then I grab the Beach Vibes Transfer (retired), Shimmer Splash Chalk Paste, a Small Squeegee and a stir stick. 

Here's the Beach Vibes Transfer (Retired) That I used

Beach Vibes Chalk Transfer | Chalking With Jessica 

I only used the top portion of the transfer that says "beach". Once cut, I laid the transfer on the block in the middle and pressed to make sure it was adhered. 

I opened the Shimmer Splash Chalk Paste and gave it a good stir with a Stir Stick. I normally add a spray or two of distilled water to make sure its not too dry. I have noticed that most of the shimmer pastes stay well. They don't get many clumps at all.

Once the paste is stirred up well, I take out a small amount with the Stir Stick and put it in the transfer. 


Then I take my Small Squeegee and spread the paste all over the mesh areas. 

Once completed covered in paste. Lift up the transfer from the wood and wash immediately. This will keep your transfers sticky and you can use it many times! 


Look how easy that was! Just imagine what you could make for your home.

May 2021 Club Couture - Sweet Lemon Grove // Come chalk with me!

 We’ve designed this one as a beautiful statement all on its own, but don’t be afraid to pull out the bits and pieces and create something new. You want a 5” x 5” Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203104) with just the lemon and leaves on it? Make it! You want to build a statement that says, “Home. Where troubles melt like lemon drops”? Do it! You want a gorgeous Reclaimed Metal Tray (item S193118) with the full, large “GROVE” design? You’ll love it! You want to chalk a Tag Mini (item S194121) with the phrase, “Squeeze the day”? You can do it! You want a sassy little dance-inspired piece that says “Sweet GROOVE”? We’re sure you could make that happen with just a bit of finagling.

What we’re saying is that when Chalk CoutureTM gives you lemons, you can make some pretty sweet lemon-themed projects!

These are just a few of our ideas. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create; we’re certain your designs are going to be so sweet.


Supplies Needed

Club Couture Transfer: Sweet Lemon Grove
Surface: Reclaimed Metal Tray (White, 9" x 12")


Chalkology Paste Singles: Bumblebee, Meadow & Storm

Tools: Mini Squeegee, Transfer Trimmers, Color Trays, Fuzzing Cloth

Color and Placement Suggestions
Bumblebee: Lemon
Meadow: Leaves, lines, and banner outline
Storm: All text



Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.

2. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements. Use a marker to label each element’s Backer Sheet to make cleanup easier when matching it to its coordinating Transfer element.

3. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the largest element.

4. “Fuzz” the Transfer element by gently pressing onto a Fuzzing Cloth and carefully pulling it upward to collect a bit of lint (this helps to more easily remove the Transfer from the surface after you’ve applied the paste). You may repeat this a few times if your Transfer seems extra sticky.

5. Position your Transfer on the surface. Smooth out the Transfer to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

6. Knead each Chalkology Paste Single, cut or tear open the top, and squeeze the desired amount onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.

7. Use a small amount of paste on your squeegee to smooth it over the Transfer, beginning at the top (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).

8. As you are working through each detail and color, squeegee
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.

9. For best results, use the chalk-and-pull method: Chalk approximately the top third of the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Before the paste dries, pull back the chalked section of the Transfer, leaving the rest of the Transfer adhered to the surface. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.

10. Let the chalk paste air dry (or use our Quick Dry Tool). Gently lay the Transfer back down over the chalked section. Ensure that the next section is fully adhered, and repeat these steps for the middle portion and the bottom third of the Transfer.

11. Remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).

12. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up.

13. Once the Transfer is washed and dried, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.

14. Relish your creation!

Sneak Peek Time! Want to see what I ordered from the 2021 Spring/Summer Celebrations Suite- Come check it out!

I was so excited to see all the new transfers in the Celebration Suite for the 2021 Spring/Summer Catalog! There are so many great summer items, I will be busy for sure! If you know me, you know I love the ocean and everything about it. Remember to check back to see what I do with these new transfers. 

To the Beach and Back
SKU: A2122129
 • 
$9.99 USD


What up, beaches?! We saw the fun neon signs of an oceanside shopping district and we were inspired to create this Transfer. You’ll be fully on trend as you use your creativity to bring this Transfer to life. You can use the full design as is, use just the “I love you” portion, or create a little somethin’ that points “to the beach.” For an artistic touch, try diluting some Chalkology® Paste and water coloring inside the arrow.

Sunshine on My Mind
SKU: A2122130
 • 
$9.99 USD


This is the sort of cute little A-sized Transfer you’ll always want to have on hand, whether it’s a sunny, summery time of year, or whether you’re thinking of the people that bring brightness into your life. Pair this with our most sunshiny Chalkology® Paste—Bumblebee—for a glowy, happy feel. Also, we just gotta mention, this Transfer looks freaking adorable on a baby onesie.  
Bloom & Blossom Collection-Flower Bouquet
SKU: A2122131
 • 
$9.99 USD

ADD TO CART

What a cute little Transfer, right? We love the look of this on a 5” x 7” Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203105), or you could use the flower portion or sentiment portion separately on 5” x 5” Double-Sided Box Frames (item S203104). We should also point out how cute this looks on our House Cutouts (item S201102) as the top edge of the design matches well with the top edge of the cutout. The inspirational message with floral imagery is ready to plant creativity in your heart. And for good reason!
Meal and Memories
SKU: A2122132
 • 
$9.99 USD


This little Transfer and our Decorative Cutting Board (item S2111105) were literally made for each other (MFEO as we like to say). It also looks great on our 5” x 7” Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203105). This design is a pretty, simple, pleasant phrase. Great for Mother’s Day gifts, kitchen decor, house-warming gifts, to make and sell, or anything else you can dream up. It’ll be great to display all year long. 

Bad Decisions Make Good Stories
SKU: A2122133
 • 
$9.99 USD

Small Transfer, bold design, so much truth. Pair this fun and sassy A-sized design with any of our patterns, flowers, images, or use it alone on an A-sized surface. The sentiment is both feminine and masculine, so you can easily customize it for anyone with the colors you choose. For a bright and dazzling effect, complete this in an ombre technique by adding two or more paste colors and then blending them together with your finger before removing the Transfer from your surface. 
Summer Vibes
SKU: B2122143
 • 
$14.99 USD


And just like that, bam! It’s summertime! Feel those summertime vibes seeping into your life and celebrate every bit of it with the Summer Vibes Transfer! There’s a lot going on in this design, which gives it both visual interest and a ton of versatility. Use any certain part or piece on separate projects from the words, to the icons, to the sassy sunglasses. You can get as meticulous as you’d like, adding colors and taping off different sections or chalking it all in one color for a quick one-and-done. Get fussy, or keep it simple. Let the chalk go to work for you as you celebrate every part of summer!
Hello Summer Minis
SKU: B2122144
 • 
$14.99 USD

ADD TO CART

Summer. Vacation. Road trips. Sunshine. Nature. WE LOVE IT ALLLLLL! This Transfer represents all the very best Summer has to offer. So eat some watermelon, catch some rays, and experience life! This cut-apart Transfer is great for workshops, sharing with friends, or to accent other projects. Each section of the overall design fits on our Chalkable Chips (black or white, 3” round, item S191110 or S193101).
Accept the Crazy
SKU: B2122145
 • 
$14.99 USD


The world is one big crazy place. But we don’t really mind. We like things to be fun and playful (just like YOU!). So when life gets to be too much, keep going. You’re not crazy, your life is. Relax and accept it! We love the look of this design on a classic Couture Gallery™ Board Aiden White Frame (black, 9” x 12”, item S183127), or on items of apparel. It looks great in one or two colors, but don’t be afraid to go quirky and fun by adding lots of different hues. Every letter is separate, making it easy to add as many colors as you want!
A Whole Lot of Love
SKU: B2122146
 • 
$14.99 USD

ADD TO CART

The oval shape of this design is a rare and special treat! We love the look of this on a tray (such as our Reclaimed Metal Tray, item S193118) or a found surface. For a different look, chalk just the words “family” or “love”. Include the laurel wreath or leave it off if desired. The overall design looks formal, but the tiny bit of quirkiness in the quote offers a bit of playfulness as well.
Bloom & Blossom Collection-Flower Bucket
SKU: B2122147
 • 
$14.99 USD


This cut-apart Transfer is perfect for building a bucket full of blooms and blossoms. Use the flowers, greenery, and stems as desired to build a bucketful of flowers as big and robust as you’d like. Chalk the word “love” from this Transfer on the bucket, or choose sentiments from other Transfers in the Bloom & Blossom Chalk Stories™ Collection. Flowers can also be used as accent pieces on any project in your imagination.
A Longer Table-Watts of Love
SKU: B2127152
 • $
14.99 USD


We love a simple design with a positive message. The clean, modern fonts used here with a generous helping of white space gives your eye space to work out the deeper meaning of the statement. Spacing was meaningfully designed to help remind us all to share our resources and to employ a generous mindset in all we do. This design is the perfect compliment to a gallery wall. For every A Longer Table Transfer sold, $2 USD goes to Watts of Love, a non-profit organization providing solar lighting and education to communities living in darkness.
Collect Beautiful Memories
SKU: C2122126
 • 
$24.99 USD


Create a meaningful display with a warm statement that reminds us that the true beauty of life is found in memories made with those we hold dear. The hand-drawn font and visually-stimulating greenery are designed in our glorious 12” x 18” (C-sized) Transfer, which gives a hearty impact to any space. For best results, we recommend the chalk-and-pull method when creating with this Transfer. 
Good Eats
SKU: C2122128
 • 
$24.99 USD


When it comes to DIY home décor, you simply cannot forget your kitchen! The Good Eats Transfer is a cut-apart design that’s great for creating a coordinated set of smaller projects for a gallery wall or tiered tray, or to create a larger display piece to bring a sense of welcome to your space. The large “good eats” sentiment fits on any of our 6” x 18” surfaces such as a Double-Sided Box Frame (item S203106). The smaller elements look great as accents or standing alone on 5” x 5” Double-Sided Box Frames (item S203104). We’d love to see you use these on apparel, aprons, jars for your pantry, house-warming gifts, and more. Get started!
America the Beautiful
SKU: D2122113
 • 
$29.99 USD


This is a pleasantly patriotic design that looks incredible on a round surface or one of our Square Pillow Covers (item S181101). We’ve included a few different song lyrics from classic America-inspired tunes. Use our Celebrate Palette Pack (item PS2122104) for a set of Chalkology® Paste colors that bring a sense of loyalty and allegiance to your design.
Let's Sit and Chat
SKU: E2122103
 • 
$39.99 USD


Get ready for the boss of all Transfers! This is the design that keeps on giving! Put this design to work in a porch sign using the whole thing. When lining up the two halves top to bottom, the finished piece measures approximately 10” x 48”. Most sentiments fit individually on a 9” x 12” surface, which makes this like 15 individual Transfers in one; so put it all to work! Each little phrase can be used individually like putting “Kick Off Your Shoes” on a shoe basket in an entryway, or using “appreciate today” in an inspirational piece of your choosing. With all the visual interest offered in this vertical subway art style, this Transfer is absolutely one of our favorites! 


Star Cutout Patterns
SKU: E2122104
 • 
$39.99 USD


This cut-apart Transfer really sparkles whether you’re using it with our Star Cutouts (item S2122106) or on any other surface. Mix and match the pieces for patriotic décor and more. These designs pair perfectly with our Celebrate Palette Pack (item PS2122104). Hey now, these are rock stars. Get your chalk on. Go play. 



What do you think? How many amazing could you make with all these amazing transfer?
