June 2021 Club Couture - A Beautiful Thing // Come Chalk with Me!

What do you get when you pair a flowy, curvy sentiment with a gentle nod to Scandinavian design elements? You get a beautiful thing that is darn-near perfect! (Because as they say, “a beautiful thing is never perfect.”) Pairing the sentiment with the various cut-apart elements is an easy way to breathe life into this Transfer. We think this looks best with our classic Bright White Chalkology® Paste and the three brightly colored paste singles included with your Club Couture™ shipment: Couture Coral, Daffodil, and Eucalyptus.

The sweet hummingbird and floral accents are great for watercoloring techniques. Chalk the element, then add a bit of water to your paste, mix together, and paint inside the lines with a paintbrush.

We can’t wait to see how you’ll bring this bright and summery design together in all the most perfect ways.

Supplies Included:

-Club Couture Transfer: A Beautiful Thing

-Chalkology® Paste Singles: Couture Coral, Daffodil, Eucalyptus


Supplies Needed

-Surface: Sylvie White Frame (Black, 9" × 12")

-Chalkology Paste : Bright White

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


Color and Placement Suggestions

-Bright White: “A beautiful thing is never perfect”

-Couture Coral: Hummingbird, 5-petal flowers

-Daffodil: Round flowers

-Eucalyptus: Greenery

Follow these instructions to complete this project:

1. Remove your Transfer from its packaging. Cut along the Transfer’s provided cut lines to separate the elements.

2. Carefully peel off the Transfer Backer Sheet of the element you’re using first.

3. “Fuzz” the Transfer element 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.

4. Center the “A beautiful thing is never perfect” element on the surface. Smooth the Transfer out to ensure it has properly adhered and that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles.

5. 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.

6. Smooth a generous amount of Chalkology Paste over the Transfer using a squeegee (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”).

7. 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.

8. Before the paste dries, slowly peel back the Transfer. To prevent any stretching in it, peel the Transfer back vertically from two parallel corners, instead of diagonally.

9. Immediately clean the Transfer with cool water and a Board Eraser. Do not leave the Transfer in water or let it soak.

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

11. Once the chalked sections are dry, repeat steps 2–10 for the hummingbird, floral, and greenery elements (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). 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 them flat.

13. Relish your creation and embrace the beauty of homemade projects!

My take on May's Club Couture - Sweet Lemon Grove // Come chalk with me!

I absolutely loved this months Club Couture transfer! It's just perfect for spring and summer time! With a few different added in options, you could make this transfer in so many ways! 

You could place it in the kitchen and make a Lemon Drop! Sounds yummy! 


Ready to see how I made it? 

Step 1: Grab all your supplies that you will need. This makes it so much easier so you don't have to get up while chalking. I didn't use the trays since I have the jars of each chalk paste. Always stir your paste colors before you use them. If they feel a little dry, add a little bit of distilled water to it and stir well. 

Step 2: I used the main part of the transfer so I cut off the extra 2 pieces off. 

Step 3: Time to Fuzz Fuzz FUZZ! These newer transfers seem really sticky so fuzz it well so it doesn't stick too much to the surface. 


Step 4: Lay your transfer down onto your surface. Make sure its completely flat. 

Step 5: Make a game plan of where you want your paste colors to go. I went by the instructions and used the Storm Paste for the letters, the Lemon in Bumblebee Paste and the leaves and accent pieces in Meadow Paste. I used the Small Squeegees for each paste color. Have your pastes close to you for easy use. 

Step 6: I started from the top and worked my way down. Once I chalked everything from the GROVE up, I used the paste and pull method. Thats when you lift up the portion of the transfer, so the paste doesn't dry out and mess up when you wait till the end to lift up the transfer. I laid the transfer back down carefully. I also pasted a little thick to give myself a little extra time. Then removed the extra paste right before I used the paste and pull method. 

Step 7: Lift up transfer and wash it off. The faster you wash it, the cleaner it will be. Use the Board Eraser to get it really clean, really easy. Its a great tool! After washing, lay it upside down so it can dry and you can put on the backing. These transfers are meant to be used 8-12 times each! But I have heard of people using them way more than that! Now clean your tools. During the chalking, I will wipe them will baby wipes, but when I am done, I just put them in a mason jar filled will water. These are easy to clean too. I've never even needed soap to clean them. 

Step 8: Display your awesome chalk art!

Here's a video on how I made it:

What Paste colors could you choose? There are so many options, the outcome possibilities are unlimited! 

What do you want to make your lemons into? 
A Lemon Drop sounds perfect to me!

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.
