DT Call!

*The Call Is Now Closed *

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to everyone who applied to this call! I'm blown away by the level of talent, and this is going to be reallllly hard to choose just a couple.

Really hard!!

Invitations to the teams will go out by noon on Tuesday.

I am looking for a few talented designers to join one of my teams!

• CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Team- 3 spots
• CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Company Team-2 spots

I also have a non-design opportunity.

• Pin Pal-1 spot

(see details on this at the end of this post.)

Here's what I'm looking for in a designer:

• First and foremost, you must love CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and Fri-Dies! Maybe you've just discovered us, and that's OK! BUT, you've got to love our stuff, and feel excited about creating with the designs and promoting them.
• Fun-loving creatives with positive, professional, no-drama attitudes and the ability to meet easy deadlines.
• Awesome design skills: Cardmakers, Scrapbookers, Mixed Media, Clean and Simple, Utterly Adorable Layers or anything in between, just knock my socks off with your work.
• A fun active blog that shows your personality, and a range of techniques.
• Excellent photography skills that result in crisp, clear, bright photos.
• Active in at least two social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, etc., Must have a Facebook account so you can join the team group page.

The deadline to apply is midnight mountain time on JUNE 14th.

I won't send emails to the applicants who aren't chosen because honestly those emails don't feel very good to write or receive.

Looking forward to meeting you!
