A Touch of Chalk

There has never been a better time to be a club couture member!! Our awesome club program recently received a make-over and you won’t believe how awesome these new perks are.  Ok so first things first, let’s take a second and check out this award-winning transfer perfect for August. Do you take your family to the fair? It’s one of my favorite summertime activities and this transfer has SO many adorable pieces like that ribbon or that pumpkin!!  Yes please let’s chat about that pumpkin for a minute. This subscription includes all of your normal products (that wonderful transfer, your 3 exclusive paste singles) BUT this month it also includes 2 new items!! It includes a beautiful pink full size squeegee!! Hello!! I don’t even buy the ful size squeegees for myself but here Chalk is giving them away!! AND your monthly subscription box will also start to include a wonderful, reusable, coordinating chalk-able shape. In fact if you missed this week’s video over on my social media mak...

I hope you have seen a theme in these last couple of blog posts. When I purchased my latest pack of simple shapes  they actually came in a 4 pack so I was able to make 4 different projects with them. If you happened to miss our wall hanger using the round one make sure to head back over and take a look.  I loved them SO much that I went ahead and picked up a set of our  2 pack rectangle ones.  These ones are a little bigger but just as much fun to create with. Check out this fun sign I made using the Come in and Hang Out transfer.   This is another really fun transfer that I had used over and over again. Isn’t this perfect for the kids room, game room, or even a lounge area? Plus I even took it a step further and attached some fairy lights to the back of it (I grabbed these from Amazon) and turned it into a night light!! This would look equally as cute out on the patio on those hot summer nights.  To check out this project in action, AND to see how I ...

  One of my favorite things about summer is all of those bold beautiful colors and today’s project hopefully shows that with a little bit of added class. Even with all those colors these pieces were SO easy to make.  Here is the quick video demoing how I made the soda shop sign. I was going for some vintage vibes but I also really wanted to make a sign with that beautiful Wisteria Paste . Is that not one of the prettiest purples you have ever seen??  I used a number of paste colors but you can feel free to use any colors you have on hand. My colors included Wisteria, Ocean Mist, Shimmer Melon, Bark, Dune, and Peony. I really wanted it to be colorful.  One tip to working with a number of colors (anything over 3) is to pre-plan your design. I always spend a few minutes to decide on which colors I want to place where. This can change but it really helps speed up the time that my paste sits in my silk screen. Since our paste is water based it tends to dry a little faster...

Did you know that Chalk Couture offers not only reusable silk screens BUT ALSO resuable SURFACES?!! I love that you have the option of picking up on of your favorite frames and never having to purchase another ever again!! These are great for entryways, statement pieces, or even just to decorate your favorite wall. PLUS since they are reusable you can wash off that design when the season changes (or you just get tired of it.) This is just another way that Chalk Couture keeps being creative easy, stress free, and tons of fun.  Check out how easy it is to reuse our boards in today’s video.  Today’s transfer is our Club Couture transfer for June. If you are not a part of this amazing club then head on over and check out ALL of the details. I use this transfer a ton throughout the month PLUS you get 3 EXCLUSIVE paste singles. This transfer cannot be purchased as a stand alone product and our Club members always enjoy fun perks.  See ALWAYS a great perk!  I have paired m...
