2022 Valentines 3 Tiered Tray // Come craft with me!


While getting all my Valentine Rae Dunn mugs out, I have realized that I have just as many Valentines mugs as I do Christmas mugs 😳. I do have a few doubles that I need to get rid of too. I love Valentines Day since it's all lovey dovey and a small token of candy makes the kids happy. Thats a win in my book! I found these really great cards this year from Home Goods and they were so cute and cheap! Also a win in my book! 
As you know, I love to decorate my 3 tiered tray for each holiday. And Valentines is always so fun since it's the next holiday after Christmas. My daughter loves this set since it is so full of pinks! 

Now let me show you how I styled my Valentines 3 tiered tray!

Top Shelf
From the left, I have a wooden Sweet Shop from a valentines block set from Target. Next is a red XOXO Rae Dunn mug. On top of the mug is a little wooden sign shaped as a rolling pin that I picked up from Hobby Lobby. Inside the mug is a few glitter hearts on sticks. Hanging from the mug is a metal/wood heart from Hobby Lobby. There are also red glitter hearts on the bottom of the shelf. 

Middle Shelf
From the left I have a Wink Wink Rae Dunn Mug. Inside the mug are some glitter hearts along with a set of silicone spatulas. The red spatula is Rae Dunn and the white spatula is from Target. In the middle there is a wooden gum ball machine from the Wooden block set from Target. Next is a light pink Perfect Match Rae Dunn mug. Inside are some more glitter hearts. There are more glitter heart in the bottom of the shelf. 
 
Bottom Shelf
From the left, we start with a light pink Soul Mate Rae Dunn mug. Inside the mug is a glitter heart and a Tye Dyed Tea Towel that I made for Valentines day. In the middle is a pink bowl that I picked up at Ikea a few years ago. Inside the bowl is a cookie set I received from an old friend, Kristie Anagnos. She set a cute little valentines pack.

February Club Couture- Take the long way home // Come chalk with me!

We want to ride our bicycles! February’s Club Couture Transfer is a reminder to enjoy the journey. With a vintage bicycle design, a dreamy bubble frame, and the sentiments “take the long way home” and “find joy in the journey”, this design will help you take the long way home. Your shipment this month also includes Berry, Lakeshore, and Ocean Mist Chalkology® Paste Singles.

Ready to start this months creation? Follow along! 

Supplies Included

Club Couture Chalk Transfer® design: Take the Long Way Home 

Chalkology® Paste Singles: Berry, Lakeshore, and Ocean Mist

Additional Supplies Needed

Surface: Aiden Style White Frame (9" × 12") 

Chalkology® Paste: Bright White

Tools: Color Trays, Fuzzing Cloth, Mini Squeegee, Multi-Tool, Detail Tool

Color and Placement Suggestions

Berry: bicycle basket, line elements

Bright White: bicycle, “take the long way home”

Lakeshore: flowers, “find joy in the journey” 

Ocean Mist: bubble frame


Follow these instructions to complete this project:

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 Take the Long Way Home 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. With the curved edge of your Multi-Tool, thoroughly mix your jar of Bright White Chalkology Paste and scrape excess paste from the jar sides.

6. Use your tools to apply color over your Transfer (see “Color and Placement Suggestions”). Select your tool based on whichever size best fits the various elements you are chalking. Once the screen portions of the design are completely covered, use your tools to remove excess paste as evenly as possible; excess paste can be scraped back into the tray or jar. The more excess paste you remove, the better the result will be.

7. For best results, divide your project into sections and use the chalk-and-pull method. This allows you to work in smaller sections without having the paste dry in the screen, which would give you patchy results. Chalk the top section of the design and peel back only that portion of the Transfer to let the paste dry on the surface before continuing (use the Quick Dry Tool for a faster dry). To prevent any stretching in the Transfer, peel from the center or from both corners, instead of peeling diagonally.

8. Gently lay the Transfer back down over the chalked section. Ensure that the next section is fully adhered, and repeat these steps as you work your way down the Transfer.

9. Once your design is fully chalked and before the paste dries, remove your Transfer from the surface and immediately clean the Transfer with cool water (do not let it soak).

10. Dry the Transfer flat with the sticky side up. Once completely dry, reapply the Transfer Backer Sheet and store flat.

11. Display your latest creation and enjoy life’s journey!

XOXO Valentines DIY Home Decor // Come chalk with me! // Time to get your crafts on!


Have you started decorating for Valentines Day yet? I have just started and I've had my eye on this transfer for a while. I decided to use 3 different pinks and combine them so it looks like a the-dye effect. 

Fun fact - According to Wikipedia: Hugs and kisses, abbreviated in North America as XO or XOXO, is an informal term used for expressing sincerity, faith, love, or good friendship at the end of a written letter, email or text message. In the United Kingdom, the phrase 'hugs and kisses' is widely used. 

Now lets get crafting! 

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. 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: 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 3: Lay your transfer down onto your surface. Make sure it's completely flat.

Step 4: I wanted a the-dye feel so I put the Chalk Paste Mauvelous, Raspberry Sorbet and Peony chalk paste all over the transfer in small smears. 

Step 5: Once you have enough paste all over the transfer, take a small squeegee and start to mix them all together.  If there is too much paste on the squeegee, just wipe it off and keep going. On other projects when doing this effect, I've actually put the excess mixed paste in a separate jar to use later. It's pretty cool the colors you can make when mixing paste together, 
Step 6: One all done, 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!

January Club Couture - Love - Styled by me! // Come chalk with me!

 I love all the colors of Valentines Day, so I was super excited to create this months Club Couture! I have so many Chalk Pastes in Reds and pinks, it was really hard to chose. After pulling all the reds and picks out and comparing them with each other, I picked Bright White, Mauvelous and Raspberry Sorbet. 

Come along and see how I styled this months Club Couture - Love! 




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



Step 4: I wanted an Ombre feel for the words LOVE and DIRECTION. I put the Chalk Paste Mauvelous on the top half of the word and  Raspberry Sorbet on the bottom half. I use my finger and slightly blend them together in the middle section. This makes a pretty ombre effect. 


Step 5: For the rest of the words, I used Bright White. Just to make sure the paste didn't try in the screen, I used the paste and pull method. Since I was doing the word DIRECTION in ombre too, thats where I decided to stop to the paste and pull. 


Step 6: For the word DIRECTION, I put the Chalk Paste Mauvelous on the top half of the word and  Raspberry Sorbet on the bottom half. I use my finger and slightly blend them together in the middle section. 

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.
