3 Valentines Craft ideas with easy Bundles! Come craft with me!!
What makes a craft project easier?
When everything is bundled together! There is no searching and feeling like you are forgetting something.
I have created a few bundles to make it easy to buy. Click on the picture or the linked title to grab these!
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").
I created this bundle with everything you need to make this plus have the supplies to make so much more!
-Transfer: You Are
- Surface: Pallet Sign (5½" x 7½")
- Paste Colors: Candy Apple & Black Velvet
- Accessories: Small Squeegee
Total: $50.95 + tax and shipping
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.
Transfer- Heart Patterns
Surface: 2 Heart Cutouts
Paste: Shimmer Crimson
Accessories: Small Squeegee
Total: $60.96 + tax and shipping
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.

Surface: Double-Sided Box Frame (9" x 12")

January Club Couture - You & Me /// Come Craft with me!
Surface: Farmhouse Pallet Sign (9" × 12", item S191104)
Tools: Small Squeegee, Mini Squeegees, Transfer Trimmers, Color Trays, and Fuzzing Cloth
Color and Placement Suggestions
Colonial Blue: Sentiment and accent hearts
Mauvelous: Accent hearts
Raspberry Sorbet: Accent hearts
1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging.
2. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements.
3. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the element you’re using first.
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).
5. Centering top to bottom, position the “&” part of the Transfer in the center of the board. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles.
6. Knead each Chalkology Paste Single, open the top, and squeeze the desired amount onto a Color Tray, using a new tray for each color.
7. Use a generous amount of paste on your squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).
8. Once the screen portion of the design is completely covered, 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.. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from two corners instead of peeling diagonally. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).
11. Once the chalked sections are dry, repeat steps 3–5 and 7–10 for the “you,” “me,” and the accent hearts. Let each layer of paste dry completely before adding additional paste layers.
12. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet to each and store flat.
13. Relish your creation!

Happy New Years from Sara Nicole Designs!
Happy New Years! I am so happy to have 2020 over! Last year was unlike any other year before. There were ups and downs, but we came out stronger than ever. Between working a ton with my normal job, Safety Supervisor and UPS, becoming a teacher to my 2 older kids in elementary school, and trying to keep my household running smoothly.
This school year has been challenging with the kids changing to a new school, all while never setting foot into their new classrooms. My kids have never met their new classmates. But each of my kids have amazing teachers! Kellan has Mr. Baker and has been such a positive change from our teacher last year. From what I have heard, Mr. Baker is the most wanted 5th grade teacher! Kellan is so happy to have him and has gotten all 3's & 4's this year! Kellan has done great at distance learning, but wants to be back in the classroom. Arley has Mrs. Halligan and has loved her new teacher. Mrs. Halligan has always made sure to make Arley feel welcomed and loved. We are so happy with the kids teachers. Arley has struggled a little more with distance learning and keeping her stuff organized. We have had the helper from my Mom with helping Mason with preschool stuff and distance learning with all the kids! I don't know what we would do without her!
This year has been a learning experience with all of my creative endeavors. I have learned so much about Chalk Couture and love using it to decorate for every holiday and everyday home decor. It allows me to keep sane while dealing with all the stay at home orders.
Not sure what Chalk Couture is? Read all about it HERE!
After last year, we learned that whatever life throws at us, we can get through it. We may not like it, but we can grit our teeth, learn how to do new things (like home school), and come out stronger!
Did you set goals for yourself for 2021?
I did! I want to work on a few things in my life - personal and business!
1. Try to keep organized.
2. Get on my Peleton at least 3 days a week.
3. Dedicate more time to my business - Sara Nicole Designs!
These don't seem to crazy, so I am hoping to be able to stick to them.

Start 2021 with 3 new Creative Kickstart projects plus a new Paste Palette
It’s time for a new start. What better way to kickstart 2021 than with new, inspiring projects made from limited-time products?! Chalk Couture has developed three fresh, new B-sized Transfers that interact well with each other (think of them as building blocks you can mix and match!), and a Chalkology Paste Palette Pack that coordinates like a dream. We’re making these available in a promotion we call Creative Kickstart!
You can purchase Creative Kickstart Transfers at regular retail price on your Chalk Site, or earn them FREE with qualifying orders.
• When you spend $75 USD, you get 1 Transfer FREE.
• When you spend $100 USD, you get 2 Transfers FREE.
• When you spend $125 USD, you get 3 Transfers FREE.
*Order subtotal before taxes and shipping.
Once your carts subtotal reaches each spending threshold, you will see a pop-up notification to add their choice of a FREE Creative Kickstart Transfer(s)!
The promotion begins for customers and will be live my Chalk Site beginning January 1, 2021, at 9 am MT through January 31 at 11:59 pm MT. Products are available while supplies last only.
All three Creative Kickstart Transfers are B-sized and are designed to work with each other, all mingled up in each other’s business. Mix the pieces. Match the pieces. Go wild.
• Creative Kickstart—Be Strong (item M2048101)
• Creative Kickstart—Faith Moves Mountains (item M2048102)
• Creative Kickstart—Show Up (item M2048103)
These Transfers look great in any color combination, but we especially love the look when made using our NEW! Luxe Palette Pack (item PS211103). The pack includes six individual Chalkology Paste Singles in one fanciful palette: Colonial Blue, Ocean Mist, Papaya, Peachy Keen, Shimmer Frost, and Shimmer Gold.
The Luxe Palette Pack officially launches with the Spring/Summer Collection, but those colors are so perfect for Creative Kickstart, we think you need them now. So go ahead: order up some Luxe Chalkology Paste now, and get chalking. The Luxe Palette Pack is releasing to support the promotion, and is available at regular retail pricing for customers and Designer pricing for Designers.
Yes. When ordering off my Chalk Site and you reach a qualifying purchase total, you can add a Creative Kickstart Transfer(s) to their order for free. If you qualify for more than one Transfer, they can choose different designs from the three available Creative Kickstart choices, or add multiples of the same design if they are over the moon for it!
