It's A Pluming Hey Chick Card!

Take a look at the unique card front on this pluming hey, chick! card shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

Take a look at the unique card front on this pluming Hey, Chick! card.



This unique card with Hey, Chick! was created by fellow demo, Maria Pobre.

It's no secret that I love this chick with the crazy plume in the Hey, Chick! Sale-A-Bration stamp set so it was pretty easy for me to fall in love with this card! It doesn't hurt that she used Watermelon Wonder, either. I love that color and will hate to lose it!

This card front is unique and adds interest to the card. The card opens up by lifting up from the bottom. The focal point is attached to the flap at the top and the bottom is attached to the focal point which allows the inside of the card to peek through to the front and be part of the layered look adding a little more depth without extra thickness. Very nice!

For your convenience, I have listed most of the supplies that she used creating this card below. Clicking any of the images will take you to my 24/7 online store where you can be a happy Sale-A-Bration shopper!

Hooray In Dapper Denim Reverse Words

Stampin' Up! Reverse Words looks fabulous in Dapper Denim ink shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

Look at how fantastic Reverse Words looks in Dapper Denim! 



When I first break open a stamp set, I don't always create a card right away. Sometimes, I like to just "warm up" to the stamp set. Many times my warm ups end up creating inspiration for my cards. Warm ups are a fun way to get familiar with your stamps and not feel any pressure to create a card.

When my 2nd release Sale-A-Bration order came I had intended to come up with a card or two for my FB Live but as luck would have it, I was otherwise occupied and did not have time to prepare one. So, as unnerving as it was for me, I decided to do a warm up on FB Live! It ended up being kind of fun once I got going! This card ended up as a result of my warm up that night! You can watch that video here:



Reverse Words is a 2nd Release Sale-A-Bration set and is FREE with a $50 order! Place your order today to get your FREE Reverse Words stamp set and help support my creative sharing here at inkheaven.

What I Can't Live Without - RemARKable Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop


Darla at inkheaven in the can't live without remarkable sale-a-bration blog hop

I just can't live without you:  I've been hexed by the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder!


Welcome to our RemARKable Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop featuring our "Can't Live Withouts!"

Who knew a geometric shape could be so bewitching? When I saw the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder I knew I had to have it just because I had been so enthralled with the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog. However, as much fun as the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder was, it just didn't have the versatility of the Hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder! Here is a list of just a few things you can create with this folder:
  • Chicken Wire
  • Honeycomb
  • Shiny Metal (Silver Foil Paper - think tool box)
  • Tile (floors or walls)
  • Cement Blocks (think walkways, patios, driveways)
I'm sure that there are many more applications that I have not thought of yet! For my sample today, I am showing you how it looks like honeycomb! This cute bag will hold the make and takes for the happy stampers at my Open House events in March!

One of my favorite cards that I created with the Hexagons Dynamic Folder uses my favorite Sale-A-Bration set, Hey, Chick, and you can see that card HERE.

For your convenience, I have listed most of the supplies that I used creating this bag below.

Building A Thank You Card For The Guys

A fabulous thank you card for the guys created with the stampinup nailed it bundle shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

A fabulous thank you card for the guys created with the Stampin' Up! Nailed It Bundle.



This thank you card is a swap built by fellow demo, Phyllis Strickland. 

She pretty much utilized most of the items in the Urban Underground Suite workroom to build this fabulous card. She added a pop of red to the Urban Underground color scheme which really makes the focal point stand out. It's really quite stunning (in a masculine kind of way, of course!) Sometimes, building a thank you card for the guys can be daunting. But Phyllis knocked it out of the ball park using the Nailed It Bundle and Urban Underground suite of products.

For your convenience, I have shared her toolbox containing most of the supplies that she used building this card below. Clicking any of the images will take you to my 24/7 online store where you can be a happy Sale-A-Bration shopper!

Beautiful You Reflection

This card created with Stampin' Up! Beautiful You has a reflection! Shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

This card has a beautiful reflection!


I have another jaw dropping swap share for you today. This gorgeous card was created by fellow demo, Nancy Endwright.

I have to tell you that the reflection created with the reverse image, window sheet and silver foil paper looks incredibly real. This was one of those swaps that keeps words tumbling out of your mouth after you open the envelope: WOW! Would you look at that? What a unique idea! How cool is that? I could go on, but you get the idea!

For your convenience, I have listed most of the supplies that she used creating this card below.
