Design Team Call


Hi!
I’m looking to add a few new members to my design team. If you are interested in joining my team please read below for instructions on how to apply.

As a member of the team, you will receive all of the digi stamps that I create while you are on the team and you will also receive a discount from the rubber stamp store for personal purchases.
The term will be 6 months with the possibility to renew at the end of the term.

Each Thursday I have a digital stamp new release. As a DT member you will be required to create at least one card per week in advance of the Thursday release. The card will need to be emailed to me on or before the Tuesday of each week and then promoted on your blog on the Thursday release day. On occasional Thursdays, the designs will also be offered as rubber stamps but DT members will receive all artwork in digital format, you will not receive rubber stamps in the mail.

The deadline to apply is Tuesday August 2nd at 5 pm EST and the new team members will be announced on Friday August 6th.
To apply for the DT please send me an email with the following structure. (Note: you must put “DT Call” as the subject or your application will not be considered)

Subject: DT Call

Please include your full name and what country you live in.
Include your BLOG address. It is required that you have a blog as the team will use their blogs to post their cards and promote the stamps.
Include links to 2 or 3 cards or projects that you have created using digital stamps. These can link to specific posts in your blog or to an online gallery. Do not attach any cards to your application, I would only like links to your cards.
Please list the software that you use to print your digital stamps.
If you are currently a member of any other design teams, please list them.
I will not be able to respond personally to each applicant so after you email your application you will only hear from me if you are selected for the team. Those chosen for the team will be notified by email on or before Friday August 6th. If you have any questions please post them in the comments section of this blog post.
I look forward to receiving your application!
Have a great day!

A quick update

Hi!

I just wanted to remind everyone that there will not be a new digi release this week or next week. I'm taking a little break while my Mom is in town visiting. I have some super cute new designs planned for early August and I'm also going to have an open DT call to add a few new members to our team.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!!
Hugs,
Melissa


Here's a little eye candy for you from Jane Matsumoto.

Some cards to share!

I was browsing blogs the other day and came across these fabulous cards that some of my customers have created.


This adorable Strawberry Lily card was created by Melissa Deuss. I just love how Melissa threaded the green ribbon around the paper to create a pretty border. This is such a pretty card Melissa!



These next three cards were created by Trisha McMullen. You have to check out her blog and see more of her amazing cards! I'm in love with her colouring style and how her cards are so playful and fun.




Thanks so much for sharing your cards Melissa and Trisha!
Have a great day everyone!
Hugs,
Melissa

New Digi Stamps and Christmas in July rubber coming soon!


This week, Pink Kitty is making a digi appearance with her sweet bird friend. This image is great for friendship, thank you and even romantic cards. And we also have Strawberry Lily sporting her adorable ponytails. I really love coming up with new hair styles for her. She is like a Barbie doll for me :) Although she was designed with a strawberry themed outfit, she looks great in watermelon colours too.

Today, July 8th, when you purchase anything from the digital or rubber stamp stores you will receive the "Sweet Pea in Flowerpot" digital stamp for free! It will be emailed to you separately and within 12 hours after you make your purchase.

This will be our last digi stamp release for the month of July so now is a great time to take advantage of the free digi with purchase that is being offered today.

Next week it's Christmas in July at Pink Cat Studio and I'm releasing 5 new Christmas themed rubber stamp sets!! Starting this Friday I'm sponsoring the Christmas Stampin' ALL YEAR LONG challenge blog. If you participate in the challenge you could win 2 of the new Christmas rubber stamp sets that will be released next Friday, July 16th.

Now let's have a look at the adorable cards my design team ladies have created:

Etsy Inspired Challenge


You could win some free PCS digi stamps if you participate in this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge!

Kimmieprout's Etsy shop is this week's inspiration. She makes the most adorable clay embellishments. I especially like her buttons which have inspired me to get my clay out and make some of my own.

To enter the challenge you first need to visit Kimmieprout's shop to get some inspiration and then create a card and link to it at http://etsyinspired.blogspot.com/.
Have fun!
