Step 1:
Contact
us
 to set up a consultation. We use this time to discuss
what your needs are. We gather information about your color preference, what
theme you have chosen, and your timeline
.

Step 2: We will
create a FREE mock-up sample for you to approve. This applies to announcements,
invitations, programs, and party favors. Your sample will be emailed to you as a
pdf document.

Step 3: Once you
approve the mock-up, we require a 50% deposit to begin work. The remaining 50%
will be due upon delivery.

Step 4: You receive
your products and are ready to show them off! Don't forget about our referral

Happy Birthday to Me!

So, normally I wouldn't do a post like this, but it's my birthday today! Check out what my dear husband, Patrick gave me. Isn't it cool? For those of you who don't know, Patrick is a big watch-nut. In November, he bought me my first mechanical automatic watch – an IWC Portofino. I won't get into the specifics here, but it's a pretty cool timepiece.

Now, onto my new watch. It's a Chronoswiss Timemaster watch. This is the really cool part. Patrick won it! When he brought it home, I had to try it on. And lucky me, it matches one of my yellow shirts perfectly. Voila! It's mine!

Okay, more special events will posted tomorrow. I just had to give you a glimpse into my new passion!

Welcome to Chic Ink!

I am so excited to share my new adventure with you. My name is Heather Hildebrant, and I'm the founder of Chic Ink. For the past 4 years, I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in the Seattle area and have loved every minute of it. I teach paper crafting classes to people to love to stamp. Over the years, I discovered that some of my friends and customers didn't have the time to stamp and create on their own. Once they found out that I sell pre-made items, they jumped at the chance to own custom-made, one of a kind creations.

Out of this need, I started Chic Ink.

This is a place for those who don't have time to make their own projects, but appreciate the art of handmade, custom, and one of a kind paper crafts. Here you can order everything you need to celebrate your fabulous events, including weddings, new babies, graduations, and retirements.

Chic Ink is a full-service company. We will work with you to create everything you need for your event including invitations, party favors, decorations, and of course scrapbook albums to cherish your events long after they end.

You can read more about me and what I offer on the Answers page. 

This blog is set up so you can view everything that I've been working on. My creations will be posted regularly as well as upcoming classes and events. I am still a proud Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and you can keep up with all the promotions on the Stampin' Up! page.

I would love to see your comments and suggestions. Feedback is encouraged and appreciated at Chic Ink. It's easy, too. Just click on the "comments" button below to offer your insight.

You can also keep up to date by subscribing to the Chic Ink blog in a reader, following Chic Ink on Twitter, or becoming a Chic Ink Fan on Facebook.

Don't forget to sign up for the Chic Ink newsletter to get first notification of specials and to see more samples. The link is in the upper left-hand corner of this page.

If you have any questions about using Chic Ink for your fabulous events, you can  email Chic Ink to get in touch with me.
