DT Call announcement


Thank you all so very, very much for taking the time and effort to apply for a spot on our rubber stamp and die design team. We were blown away with the number of entries we received, and it is so wonderful to know how much you love our little company.  We know that it takes a lot of courage to enter a design team call, as of course not everyone can be chosen. If you weren’t chosen on this occasion, please do not be disheartened. Please know that we appreciated each and every application.

We were not only looking for excellent colorists, but for people with a crafting style that would complement the current team. Whimsy Stamps carries rubber stamps from a diverse range of artists, from the cute and whimsical, to the more quirky and trendy.  As we require our full-time designers to work with images from every artist, we were looking for crafters who we felt would be able to do that. So in addition to reading your application posts, we also took the time to look through every applicant’s blog, to get a more well rounded idea of each person’s crafting style.

It was a very hard decision because there were so many fantastic entries, but without further ado we would like to invite the following ladies to be full-time members of our rubber stamp and die design team for our next 6 month term (January 1st 2015 through June 30th 2015).

Design Team Call!



Do you love to color?
Do you have a passion for Whimsy Stamps?
...
Then we could be looking for YOU!


We would love to add some new full-time designers to our Whimsy Stamps rubber & die design team from January 2015.

This is an open call for anyone from anywhere to join our Whimsy Stamps design team! We welcome applications from all skills levels and all styles of crafting, but you must have excellent coloring skills and be able to provide high quality photographs of your work.

This call will remain open until midnight (ET) on Friday November 7th, 2014

*******************

TO APPLY:

- Please create a brand new card just for this DT call using your favourite Whimsy Stamps stamp.   Although we would love you to use our images for your application card, we also don't want to prevent any of you who may have only just found us from applying.  Therefore, if you don't own any Whimsy Stamps goodies, we will accept applications using different images. 

- Take a good quality photograph of your card and post it on your blog along with an accompanying post telling us why you'd like to be part of the Whimsy Stamps DT.  Then link up your application blog post in the linky at the end of this post. (Please ensure you add a link to your application post and not just a general link to your blog, as this will be removed).   If you have used a Whimsy Stamps image for your card, remember to include links to the store.

- If you have one or 2 past creations that you are particularly proud of and that you *really* want to show us, you may add them to your post along with your application card, but please do not add more than 2 additional cards.  Please make sure that your application card is new and has been created for this DT call.

*******************

We are looking for several full-time DT members to join the Whimsy family.  You will need to have a blog in order to showcase your DT work, and you will need to be able to commit to posting one Whimsy Stamps creation per week (2 during our new release weeks).  We welcome all styles of crafting, and you will see that our DT sometimes create cards using sentiments or dies as the focal point.  We love being able to showcase these additional products, but please note that our main focus is rubber stamps and so we are looking for excellent colorists.  We also need our DT members to be reliable and to be able to meet deadlines, as well as being a present and friendly member of the team.

You will receive a generous selection of rubber stamps and dies from each monthly release, together with a fantastic DT discount (valid on all products in the Whimsy Stamps store).  Your work will be showcased on the Whimsy Stamps blog, challenge blog, Whimsy Stamps company facebook page and in the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations facebook fan group.  Additionally, we are sometimes able to give our DT members the opportunity to create projects for magazines.

IMPORTANT - You must be willing and able to work with images from ALL the different Whimsy artists, so please ensure you consider this carefully before making your application.

Please feel free to share this badge on your blog and/or social media.

Finally, we welcome applications for everyone, including past DT members and guests!

We can't wait to receive your application!

Good luck!
