Ice Cream Anyone?!

This Chalk Couture Ice Cream Transfer is just too cute! I loved working with the layers and lining up the waffle cone with the ice cream scoops. You can really do it a lot with it.

*Ignore my scratchy voice in the video. It kept going in and out from having a lovely cold. 😷

My niece came over a few days after I made mine and she loved it. I said, “would you like make one?” She could not believe it was something she could do too. She thought I painted it. Psshhhh, I am not that talented. Haha! With these products you don’t have to have artsy skills, you just slap some Chalkology Paste onto the Chalk Transfer, smooth it out with a little squeegee and peel it back to reveal the awesomeness.

Chalk + Paper = Super Cute Chalkboard

I had so much fun creating with Chalk and Paper today! I started with the Little One Transfer from Chalk Couture and then added the Chalkology Paste in Red, peeled off the transfer and viola!!! I still and I’m awww every time I use this stuff.

Then I used the JACK paper pack that is from CTMH to add a photo mat to the cute pics of my little one, Fox. I added some matching JACK stickers, punched 2 little holes in each and put Twine through it. Then just adheres it to the side of the frame and that was a wrap. Pretty cute, huh?

I could totally see making these as gifts for people. Whether it be for a wedding and chalking a wedding saying, or back to school with the kids pics, 1st birthday, monthly pregnancy pics, baby shower… so many ideas come to mind. This was an inexpensive frame that I purchased at Ross. They have frames all over and the beauty of these Chalk Couture products is it can be used on pretty much any surface including windows, mirrors, wood, glass, painted furniture and more!

How To Create Top Tab Dividers

Have you ever wondered how you can create your own for your planner dividers using Cricut Design Space? Well, let me help you out. I created these cute Top Tab Dividers using the Close To My Heart Paper Pack called JACK. I love the look of them showing at the top of the planner, instead of the side.

Close To My Heart Jack Top Tab Dividers

I took some screen shots as I was creating that I hope you’ll find helpful….

To get started you’ll start with a blank canvas in your Cricut Design Space and then you’ll select Insert Shape on the left side. Now select a Square as shown in the picture to get started with your divider.

Step 1 in Cricut Design Space

Next you’ll want to click on the lock button that is at the bottom left side of the square to unlock it. This makes it so you can manipulate the shape so it doesn’t have to stay a square. This must be done to turn it into a rectangle for your dividers.

Step 2 in Cricut Design Space

To adjust the size, you can either go to the Edit tab on the right side next to Layers or you can click on the arrows on the right bottom of the box and drag it until you get the size you’d like it.

Step 3 in Cricut Design Space

Now you’ll want to click on Add Text on the left side. Type the font that you want your tab to say. I used Biz Cards for this example. On the right side, you can click on the Edit Screen and then using the second drop down menu, you can scroll down and select a font you’d like to use. In the image below, I show 2 different fonts to show a variety. You’ll be able to pick from fonts that are saved on your computer or ones that are available for purchase or free through the Cricut Design Space Subscription. Then you can use the arrow on the bottom right of the font to drag it around and change the size. This can also be done using the Edit area on the right. You can even put the letters closer together or farther apart, stretch them taller or make them shorter. Those are all tools in the edit section.

Step 4 in Cricut Design Space

Here is where you’re going to merge the font and the rectangle together. This has to happen in order to print them out as one piece. To do so, you can either click on the font and while holding the shift button down you can click on the rectangle so that both are highlighted. Or you can click the 2 under the layers section using the shift button. Once both are highlighted, click on Weld. Once you weld them they will be 1 image and you wont be able to go back and edit the sizing of each individual piece (only as one piece now), so be sure you’re pieces are exactly where you want them before welding them together.

Step 5 in Cricut Design Space

Viola… now the color is all one and that means your image is one piece.

Step 6 in Cricut Design Space

Then you can just click on GO and print them out. I laminated mine with my Scotch laminator and then trimmed the edges leaving just a tiny space all around the outside. Then I used a A5 size hole punch to put the 6 holes in it. Easy peasy!

Here is a quick video to show you all how I’m currently using them in my agenda. I actually purchased this Louis Vuitton GM size agenda to use as a planner, which I did for several months. Now that I’ve recently switched to using my iPad Pro and doing digital planning, I wanted a way I could still get use out of this agenda and this was the perfect solution for me. Hope you like it!
