Design Team Call - July 2015

We recently had a Design Team member leave and sadly another is leaving at the end of August.

For this reason we are having a Design Team Call.

We are looking for 2 new Design Team Members so that when we have an inspiration week we can have every day of the week covered.

What do you have to do as part of the commitment as a Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Blog Design Team Member:

• You MUST have an active blog and post regularly so that you can promote the cards/creations that you make, publicise any new releases or give details of any sales etc. A Facebook account is also necessary to do the same promoting
• You need to be a member of the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group and post your creations on that Group as well.  There is also a private Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group specifically for the Design Team Members and you will need to be an active member of this as well
• You need to enjoy participating in challenges in Blogland or on Facebook as this is where promotion can be made for Ching-Chou Kuik’s images
• You must be capable of taking beautiful photos of your cards/creations
• You must be able to create 3 creations a month using Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps (this may involve new releases, images chosen for the Design Team Members to use by Ching-Chou Kuik herself or the use of existing images from the Etsy store). If you want to make more creations that is perfectly fine.  For Weeks 4 and 5 (if there is one) these will be Showcase Weeks where cards/creations will be highlighted each day from those that have entered the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog, the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Facebook Challenge or shared their cards/creations on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group.
• You will be given a specific day each week to do a post on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog, your own blog and also to do a post on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook Group
• You will be allocated specific numbers to comment on the entries to the monthly blog challenge on the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog.  Commenting is a VERY important part of a Design Team role as it gives crafters encouragement and it lets them know that we appreciate them taking the time to enter our challenge and this is why commenting MUST be undertaken by Design Team Members
• You will need to post your 3 creations per month on your personal blog, the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Monthly Challenge Blog and the Ching-Chou Kuik’s Digital Stamps Facebook Group every month on the day you have been specified to use each week
• You will need to invite new members who love stamping and crafting to join Ching-Chou Kuik’s Digital Stamps Facebook Group
• You must promote the shop on your blog and on Facebook and any other social networks if possible especially when there is the start of a new challenge, there are special offers in the Etsy Store or when there are new releases in the Etsy Store.

Here is what you will get from being a Design Team Member of the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Design Team:

• A Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Design Team Badge to put at the sidebar of your blog. This will be a personal badge that Ching-Chou Kuik will make using one of your card/creations using one of her stunning images
• 3 new Ching-Chou Kuik’s Digital Stamps stamp every month (you will get one for the monthly challenge/your Week 1 inspiration post, your Week 2 inspiration post and your Week 3 inspiration post)
• 15% off on all Etsy store items (you will receive a coupon number directly from Ching-Chou Kuik that is just for your personal use as a Design Team member)
• Being part of a very friendly Design Team with an Admin Blog and a dedicated Facebook Group for daily chats/keep up-to-date with what is going on with the Design Team
• The chance to be part of a Design Team that gets to work with Ching-Chou Kuik's amazing images.

AFTER READING THIS ARE YOU STILL INTERESTED? 

If you are interested please do a post on your blog and either make a new creation or use a previous creation that highlights your ability to use digital stamps.  You do not have to use a Ching-Chou Kuik image.

Once you have done your post on your blog please put a direct link to it in the InLinkz below.

The Design Team call will run from Sunday 26 July 2015 to Friday 7 August 2015 to make sure there is enough time to get the new Design Team Members in their post for the monthly challenge starting on 1 September 2015.  You will be expected to make a card/creation for this challenge but this should give you 2-3 weeks to facilitate this.

If you have any other questions prior to apply for the Design Team please do not hesitate to e-mail me and I will try to answer your query ASAP.

Alica's Inspiration Post - July 24

Good Morning!

Hope you are enjoying this week's mermaid theme since I have another mermaid card for you. I'm using image called Sinking Moon, you can find it in the Etsy store here.

I colored the image with a mix of markers and pencils and then played with Frantage Embossing powders for a bit. More details on my blog.

There is still time to play in our Sparkled & Shine challenge or in the Shabby Chic challenge on Facebook.

Inspiration by Linda "Purple Iris"

Good morning to you all.  Today is my day to post some Inspiration for a card and I have chosen Purple Iris as my image to share.  Our theme this week at Ching-Chou Kuik Stamps: is Oceans and Mermaids.  I tried to make the greenery look like sea weed and I think it looks ok.  This is a Ching-Chou Kuik image and you can find her here:https://www.etsy.com/shop/gjzcck.

Alica's Inspiration Post - July 17, 2015

As you probably noticed, the DT is showcasing spooky/gothic/Halloween images this week.

Since I don't send out Halloween cards I decided to go with a bit of gothic mood and send it to my niece who is in "the goth stage" right now :)

I used an image called Spooky Blue and you can find it in Ching-Chou Kuik's Etsy store - here.

For more details visit my blog.

Don't forget to come back again to see more fabulous creations of our DT (next week we'll have a different theme ;) )
