Design Team Call – Become an INKgirl

ARTFUL INKABLES is looking for new design team members! We need your help and enthusiasm promoting our products through your personal blog and online galleries. We are looking for team members who are excited about stamping, and would love being a part of a fun and friendly design environment. No prior design team experience is necessary. If you’ve never been published… Don't worry! We want to encourage you to show us your best, even if you have not been widely recognized as a designer. This call is open to everyone - even if you aren't in the US or Canada you are more than welcome to apply!!**


Application Process

All submissions must be received by 12:00am MST, January 30, 2009. New design team members will be contacted by February 5, 2009.

7. Related forums/message boards that you like to visit and participate (we do NOT need your forum nickname):

8. Three (3) items, cards, or layouts using stamps as the main focus. Your submissions don't need to be brand new and do not need to have Artful INKables Stamps used, but should not have been published or submitted for publication for a printed or online magazine.

9. Please note if you are a current or past design team member for any other companies. (We do not expect you to work solely for us).

I just submitted, i did'nt think about it, i just did it!!!

I am debating it...I'm already on three DT's and several challenge teams. Not sure if I can fit all their requirements in. I do love that copany though...

I know it is hard when you already have rior commitments! I could not even think of another DT!

Thats good, really, becoz i know some ppl that are on dt after dt & they are too busy with family, they are hardly ever on the boards or taking part too much, i know we all have a life, but dont take on the dt commitment's if you cant post at least a few times a week & entre work, kwim?
Cant stand it when ppl just keep applying, knowing they're not up to it!! GIVE SOME1 ELSE A CHANCE.

Great call......good luck Sarah!

Sounds like fun! Good Luck to all who apply!!

I was "thinking" about it, but having to ship all the projects directly to them would get costly & right now, every little penny saved helps us!! Maybe next time!

I toatlly agree....Canadapost just went up again! here!

Wow, sounds very tempting because I am in LOVE with stamps but I just can't do it at the moment, too much on my plate! I wonder how all those wonderwomen ladies who have jobs, kids, and more than 1 DT committments etc do it?? How do they do it????? I have no kids, a PT job, a SU business, and 1 DT and I feel stretched!!! LOL!

Good luck to all who apply and look forward to seeing the pics!
