Chalkboard Blocks

Sandy from http://cherishedhandmadetreasures.blogspot.com/ and I got together last week to make these adorable chalkboards. They can sit on a shelf or with an added picture hanger can be hung on a wall.

We used the following supplies:
Assorted wood blocks
Chalkboard paint
Chalk
Ribbons
Buttons
Assorted craft supplies we had on hand

For this Spring inspired block I glued moss on the front and added three Stampin' Up! Designer printed brads as eggs (122940). For the tag I used Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake card stock (120953) and "Fabulous Phrases" stamp set (117002), Basic Black Classic Stampin' ink pad (101179) and linen thread (104199).

For the Menu block I used Stampin' Up! Cajun Craze Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (125055), Crumb Cake card stock (120953), "Fabulous Phrases stamp set (117002), Basic Black Classic Stampin' ink pad (101179) and linen thread (104199). I free handed the rooster/chicken (not sure which) with chalk. This can all be erased and changed to a "To Do" list, Quote of the day, Monogram etc.

For the Seasons sign, I used hook and loop to change out the seasons. I used Stampin' Up! On Board chipboard sheets (114320), Tickets and Tags Simply Scrappin' kit (122373) (My Favorite), Neutrals (117157) and In Color (122384) Designer Series Paper Assortments, Neutrals (119743) and Brights (119747) buttons, Big Shot Die Cutting machine (113439), Bigz Leaves (113459), Scalloped Oval Frame (114521), Daisy's #2 (114520) and Stampin' Up! exclusive Top Note (113463) Bigz Dies.
