Hey everyone! Can't believe it's Thursday already! I leave for CHA in a week and today I am in Dallas, Texas at the Michaels Coorporate office working on a fun, secret project!! Dallas is my HOME SWEET HOME so anytime I get to come back here, I take it! Can't wait to tell you what I am doing here!! ;) ;) ;)
I have been getting lots of lots of questions from YOU asking about our new Chalkboard Stacks and what kinds of products work best on them. You will be able to find these Chalkboard Stacks at Michaels & Jo-Anns now and your independent retailers soon! They come in a variety of colors and sizes and are SO fun!
Check out this awesome page that Susan Stringfellow made with our Chalkboard Stack! She used watercolor pencils for this look. One of many mediums that can be used.
Love the detail on this page :)
I made a video demonstrating some techniques for you! Watch my video HERE to see some of my tips on what kinds of chalk products work best on our papers. Hopefully it will open up your creative mind as to what you can create with these papers!
I purchased all of these products at my local arts & crafts store but I'm sure you will be able to find all of them at any arts and crafts store. The chalk bistro markers are the Uchinda brand, they are my favorite I think!
So check out the video and leave me a comment on this post telling me what you think! Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back on the blog on Monday.
I can't wait to hear what you are working on. I love this stack its so neat and versatile. I love all of the dcwv papers stacks. Thank you guys for all the hardwork you put into your products

WOW-what a great layout!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using them to make gift tags, and then the tag can be reused. That's cool! Thanks for sharing your ideas and tips Erin.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteDoes the chalk come off? Would you need to put it in a sheet protector to keep it from coloring other pages in your scrapbook?
ReplyDeletehey Kendahl - just my observations here, but for scrapbook pages, I am using the watercolor pencils because they don't come off without a damp sponge, but the chalk dusts off easier. It really is alot like a chalkboard. You really will have fun playing with these papers. And if you make a small covered box or clipboard, you really can use it just like a chalkboard and have a real chalkboard eraser to erase. The best part is that you can get so many fun colors of the paper and chalks:) I hope that helps
DeleteWow! LOVE the whole NBC theme and the chalkboard paper works beautifully with it! I'll be trying out some watercolor pencils and crayons with some soon I hope!
ReplyDeleteThese papers look like they would be so fun to work with. This is a stack my son would love using also, to contribute his artistic talents to a family scrapbook. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFun layout & fun Halloween decorations. Like the photos.
