Check out my Valentines Day 3 Tiered Tray // Come chalk with me!

 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!

DIY Valentines Day Decor! Make a special gift to give to a loved one! Come chalk with me!

 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 Transfer with 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!

February Club Couture - Go Confidently // Come Chalk with Me!

Subscribe to Club Couture in February and discover what Henry David Thoreau was talking about when he said “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” 

On-trend arrows, a mix of fonts, and the blocky shape of each element make this design perfect for so many gifts and apparel items, or snappy décor. Use the elements of this cut-apart Transfer individually on smaller projects, or combine them to confidently fill a larger surface. Make Henry proud!

February’s Club Couture subscription includes the Go Confidently Transfer as well as Chalkology™ Paste Singles in Black Velvet, Currant Jam, and Shimmer Gold. If that’s not inspiring, then nothing is!


Supplies Needed

Club Couture Transfer: Go Confidently

Chalkology Paste Singles: Black Velvet, Currant Jam, Shimmer Gold

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

Color and Placement Suggestions

Black Velvet: “Go Confidently” sentiment 
Currant Jam: “Direction” word only 
Shimmer Gold: Accent arrows

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.

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 left to right, position the accent arrows element at the center top of the board. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

6. Centering left to right, position the “Go Confidently” sentiment in the center of the board. Smooth out the element to adhere, ensuring there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

7. 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.

8. Use a generous amount of paste on your squeegee and smooth it over the Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).

9. 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.

10. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center instead of peeling diagonally. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).

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

12. Once the chalked sections are dry, repeat steps 3–5 and 7–10, using the accent arrows element again at the bottom of the surface. (If you work quickly after using it the first time, you may not need to wash the arrow element between uses.)

13. Once all Transfer elements are washed and dried, reapply the Backer Sheet to each and store flat.

Go confidently in the direction of your home décor!

Check out what I ordered from the new 2021 Spring/Summer Catalog!

This Spring/Summer Launch is a great one and I want to share all the goodies that I got with you! It's time to celebrate the warmest and brightest season of the year with beautiful home décor, artfully crafted with high-quality designs, tools, and surfaces. Create inspired pieces that will bring your space to life.

Size A

SUNSHINE IS MY FAVORITE COLOR

A2111101 • $9.99

What a whimsical, fun, summery project! Light and bright, this will be adorable when paired with your other summer décor. It’s little, it’s bright, and it’s the perfect way to acknowledge the glorious color of sunshine! 

CLEAN MY KITCHEN

A2111103 • $9.99

Who doesn’t love a little touch of sass in their kitchen? We sure do!

DIBS ON FOREVER

A2111105 • $9.99

Valentines, love, family, friends: this is the Transfer that perfectly notes the love you have for it all! This phrase alone fits on a 5” x 5” surface, or the line and heart elements can be added as borders on (up to) all four sides. This is great to make a cute little hand-lettered piece as a wall hanging or to add to your tiered tray.

THIS HOUSE WAS CLEAN

A2111108 • $9.99

Sometimes real life is just real life! Announce it unapologetically in a cute and modern handwritten, skinny typeface font, “This house was clean yesterday. Sorry you missed it.” And whether “yesterday” actually means yesterday—or perhaps your house hasn’t been clean in a bit longer than that—we don’t mind. We just love your cute sign!

A2111114 • $9.99

Can you hear the gentle, peaceful call of the sun, sky, sea, and sand? They’re calling you to a calmer place, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Answer the call and respect the serenity by setting to work on the Sun, Sky, Sea & Sand Transfer. Create a bright and fun project that will help you answer the crafty call of it all.

YAY FOR TODAY

A2111115 • $9.99

Do you ever have a day that just makes you stand up and cheer? For those days (and the days you wish felt like that), you’ll want to display this classic Transfer. 

SUMMERTIME

A2111118 • $9.99 

We love summertime, we love easy livin’, and we love this one-and-done Transfer. This is designed so you can separate the umbrella by using a different color than the sentiment, or leave it off all together. Let the bright summer sun inspire you as you set to work creating this cute little project.

A2111121 • $9.99

This whimsical Transfer captures the true essence of possibility. Celebrate your graduate with a custom gift, inspire your children with playroom décor, or add a dreamy touch to any space. The reversed-out design features text cut into the clouds for a bold look.

Size B

DO MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE

B2111102 • $14.99

We love a bold font and a bold statement! This B-sized Transfer creates a bold display piece that will only be enhanced by the color(s) you choose to create with. Life is filled with ups and downs; do more of what you love to make this life more wonderful!

HELLO SUMMER

B2111107 • $14.99

This cute summer design celebrates the hot lazy days of summer. Add as many bright colors as you’d like to make it really bright and fun. 


WORK HARD. PLAY HARD.

B2111110 • $14.99

Dress up your office, homework space, classroom or craft room with the Work Hard. Play Hard. Transfer. We’ve put the emphasis on “play” because that’s our favorite part! Highlight it in an accenting color for a great pop of playfulness. 

EGG HUNT THIS WAY

B2111113 • $14.99

Get ready for the Easter festivities with this cute cut-apart Transfer! This piece includes two ready-to-use sentiments, plus some egg-stra possible accents. It’s perfect to pull off different words, parts, or pieces and just let your creativity take charge. The egg has a base color and then two options for accent stripes. Choose a sentiment and then use the eggs to fill up any egg-stra space on the surface. Hop to it!

WHAT I LOVE MOST

B2111114 • $14.99

This Transfer is a fun, contemporary, hand-lettered style. Create this all in one color as a one-and-done, or accent greenery and select words in different colors to match your space. We love that this is a landscape orientation and we loooove how this looks when used to add meaning to a gallery space or a larger grouping of different home décor pieces.

B2111115 • $14.99

This Transfer, inspired by subway art, highlights all the best things about the mothers in our lives. Chalk only selected words, vary your colors, or make it all in a one-and-done move using a Handled Squeegee (item T2111101). This Transfer is one versatile mother. 

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

B2111116 • $14.99

Let your chalky adventures begin! This graphic art style combined with a fun block font is a nod to the outdoors, nature, and those who love adventure. This looks great on tote bags, shirts, display pieces, and more. For a fun effect, try watering down some Chalkology TMPaste in different colors and use it to paint inside the details of the line-art image. The circular design is a fun touch for a modern look. 

RISE & SHINE

B2111118 • $14.99

This is a great coffee-themed Transfer for all the true coffee lovers out there. This is great all in one color as a one-and-done, or you can call out the details in different, accenting colors. For a different look, pull off “Rise & Shine” or “I caffeinate and hope for the best” and use them on their own. This Transfer is great for small projects, large projects, and any other way you want to “espresso yourself.”

B2111130 • $14.99

We get it. Your craft room or creative space is the very best space you go. “Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy craft supplies, and that’s pretty close.” Every crafter has either said or thought those words at some point in time! This design looks amazing in bright, happy colors. Use the icons and illustrations separately for smaller accent projects, Christmas Tree ornaments, labeling your organization system, or anything else. Make a whole set of projects using just this one, fun Transfer!

SHINE LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE

B2111135 • $14.99

This evergreen Transfer makes for great displays all year long, or put it on a reusable surface when there just aren’t holidays to decorate for! The design features a line drawing in a fun and graphic style. This can be easily created all in one color as a one-and-done, or you can use Placement Tape (item T183101) to tape off sections to chalk additional colors. Remind yourself to “Make like a lighthouse and shine!”

NEW DOORS—WATTS OF LOVE

B2117139 • $14.99

Today is a good day for opening new doors. Just look at this Transfer! It’s a “key-per” for creating beautiful décor that will remind you of your helping to change the world. You purchase of this Old Keys New Doors Transfer donates $2 to Chalk Couture™’s partner charity, Watts of Love. Open your heart with us. Not only will you receive an exclusive Transfer that unlocks countless décor possibilities, but you’ll also spread your light to others. Win-win!

Size C
SKU: C2111116
  
$24.99
The shadowy effect of the mountains and trees in this Transfer remind us of nature’s beauty. “The Great Outdoors Are Calling” is a fun sentiment that is perfect for all your outdoorsy friends. Line up the elements of this Transfer easily using the included registration marks on each piece.

C2111123 • $24.99

Decorate for St. Patrick’s day, or any day you want to recognize the best and luckiest parts of your life. Add the two layers of the Celtic knot as desired, or drop it off and use the sentiment alone for a more evergreen project. 

SKU: C2111120
  
$24.99
Create a cute gift for Grandma, perhaps to give her this Mother’s Day. We all know life is better at Grandma’s house. Recognize it with this modern, san serif font with universal appeal. The frame can be chalked or left out. That awesome frame can even be used on other projects for an extra touch, like when we added it to the napkins on the front of our Spring/Summer catalog! Create this project in Grandma’s favorite colors.
SKU: C2111122
  
$24.99
The scripty font of this Transfer encompasses a feeling of serenity. We hope that by creating projects with this Transfer and displaying them with pride, your guests and housemates will truly feel welcome. The accent house and roof are separated to give it some detail, which also makes it easier to add additional colors if desired. This Transfer is a good size, simply created, and just one Chalkology™ Paste Single can complete the whole project. Great for beginners or quick projects.

Size D
SKU: D2111108
  
$29.99
This Transfer starts with a left-aligned typewriter font, with some white space to let your eyes focus on what’s most important. This Transfer ends with a meaningful brush script font that brings the whole magnificent message home. Your heart knows what’s possible and it’s time to recognize that nothing you pour yourself into is pointless! Create a statement piece that will help you overcome pride, inexperience, and the faults of reason so you can get out there and succeed!

Size E
SKU: E2111101
  
$39.99
Cut it apart so you can put it together! The Bless Our Home Wreath Transfer is just waiting for you to add your touch of love for all the spaces and places you call home. We have lots of ideas we want to see you try! Try making a porch sign with the greeting, “Bless Our Home.” Switch out the buildable wreath for the letter “o” in “home.” Make a HOME sign either vertically or horizontally. Layer wreath elements on top of each other for dimension and interest. Create an organic looking wreath with both letters, or try using the green-leaf part twice (rotated slightly) for a special project. This Transfer creates a nice big sign for your porch, for your home, and for your enjoyment! 

I can't wait to get my order of all these amazing transfers! So much great stuff! 

Now to make my list for part 2 of the 2021 Spring/Summer Launch for all the new chalk  pastes and accessories to drop in 2 weeks in February 16th! 

Which transfers are you favorites? Drop me a comment to let me know!
