First DT Call

Welcome to my first DT call!  I would like to start by saying THANK YOU to Carla Peicheff who accepted my offer to head up the DT.  She is one busy lady and I am so lucky to have her.

First, I would like to give you a little information about Stamp Shoppe.  It is my new online store based in Canada that specializes in Magnolia Rubber Stamps.  I just opened in July of this year and I am focusing on great customer service and fast shipping.  I am a very small business but it is my goal to carry a wide selection of Magnolia stamps at competitive pricing and service.

That being said, I am looking for up to two more ladies (or gentlemen) who have a passion for Magnolia stamps and/or cardmaking.  You must have an active blog and the ability to take and post good quality photographs of your work.  Stamp Shoppe is a Canadian store and so for the time being the DT call is only open to people residing in Canada.  This call is for a 3 month term, from 15 November 2009 – 15 February 2010.

What I would expect from a DT member:

• At least 6 cards/ projects per month to be posted on your blog, the Stamp Shoppe Gallery (once I have it up), The Stamp Shoppe Blog and on any other stamping boards where you are active. The blog posts must contain information on what was used to create the project with links back to the store to help people find the products;
• Participate in and promote blog challenges, and events sponsored by the store;
• Actively promote Stamp Shoppe on your blog and in other places when it is appropriate to do so;
• Post one tutorial on the Stamp Shoppe blog during your term; and
• Participate in other challenge blogs (i.e. Just Magnolia, Friday Sketchers etc) when able to do so.

What you can expect from me:

• Minimum two Magnolia stamps a month (and some months may include embellishments, papers etc, as well)
• A selection of stamped images monthly (on Neenah cardstock using Memento)
• An additional 15% off purchases from the Stamp Shoppe Store
• A cute design team button for your blog and for use in signature blocks
• A link to your blog on both the Stamp Shoppe blog and store site.
• To promote your blog sites whenever I can

If you are interested in applying please submit the following requirements in an email to stampshoppe@bell.net by November 13th at midnight EST.  Submissions received after this time will not be considered.

1. Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address
2. A brief bio of yourself and why you are applying for the DT.
3. A link to your blog
4. A link to an online gallery showing your work (if you have one)
5. A minimum of two new cards created for this DT call.  Cards must show off your style(s) and at least one should show good use of ribbon and/or lace with flowers.  Cards must contain a coloured Magnolia image.  If you do not own any Magnolia images then please note that in your submission and use any stamped image which you have coloured yourself.  We request that card submissions not be posted in your gallery/blogs until after the DT announcements are made.

The new DT will be contacted on Nov 14^th and once we receive confirmations, will be announced publicly on the 15th.
