October-December Design Team Call - Filling Vacant Spots.

This Design Team Call is Closed! Thank you to everyone who applied. Our new Design Team members will be announced soon!

Sadly, we have had to say goodbye to some fabulous Design Team Members in the last couple of months who had unexpected familial obligations pop up. We have loved having Kim Cornwell, Donna Coughlin & Debbie Sherman on our team and wish them all the best.

What does that mean for White Rose Crafts? 
It means we are holding a short Design Team Call to add one or two new, full time members to our little crafty family, and maybe a couple of guest designers, too! 

Ideal candidates will be enthusiastic, confident, and dedicated to paper crafting in a variety of styles, and love using a variety of products from many international companies, as well as some of your favorite US based brands. We expect you to be able to take clear, bright, quality photographs of your work and to be familiar and comfortable posting your projects on a variety of social media platforms, as well as sharing promotions, giveaways, announcements and news related to the store. If this sounds like you, see below for application requirements and details!

Note: This is a short DT Call, so be sure to get your application in no later than Mon, September 17, 2018 11:59pm EST.

We are looking to fill one or two spots on our growing design team. We would love to add a member who is strong in Mixed Media, Altered Arts and/or Shabby Chic style projects, a scrapbooker or someone who specializes in decrative planner spreads--but all design styles and papercrafting preferences will be considered. 

Term Design Team Requirements: 

Must reside in the USA or Canada.

Must Love Papercrafting and creating with a variety of products.

Must love working with products from a variety of different companies and countries (visit www.whiterosecraftsllc.com to see the wide selection of brands and products we carry).

Must be able to take clear, bright, quality photographs of your projects

Must have an active Instagram and Facebook account, as well as an active blog that includes frequent papercrafting related posts. You must be able to interact with the design team in our Secret Facebook group, as this is the fastest way for us to communicate with the team as a whole and is where the monthly sign up calendar will be posted.

Must be willing to help grow and increase exposure for the Store and be an active, up-beat, and supportive member of the team. We expect posts on behalf of White Rose Crafts to be professional in nature. We ask that you are encouraging and supportive both with the other team members as well as existing and potential customers. We want you to present your projects and feel comfortable sharing feedback, ideas, favorite products, tips and tricks.

Design team members are required to share a minimum of 4 projects per month using products available at White Rose Crafts, to be posted weekly, that will be featured on our Facebook page, Instagram and Blog. You will not be restricted to use only products sold at White Rose, but we do ask that they be the primary focus. Please do not use image stamps, detailed stand alone dies, embellishments or patterned paper packs that are not available for purchase at whiterosecraftsllc.com.

Must be willing to create at least one additional project using one or more featured themes or companies on certain promotional months. (You will receive additional product in your design team packages for these months.)

Must be willing to post design team projects on your personal social media pages and in any Facebook groups you are a member of that will allow it. We ask that you link back to whiterosecraftsllc.com wherever possible and always use your personalized watermark that will be provided to you.

Must be willing to participate in and promote our new, monthly Gallery Group challenges.

Due to the nature of this call, this will be a short term (this term will begin October 1 and end December 31, 2018). You may be on other Design Teams for digital artists, stamp/die companies or product manufacturers, but we do ask that you are not on a permanent design team for another online retail craft store that carries multiple brands, as it is a conflict of interest (there may be exceptions to this rule-but permission must be obtained on a case by case basis  from Kay), however, you must be able to keep up with your White Rose Crafts design team requirements.

Term Design Team Compensation:

$20 per month in store credit (plus free shipping) to purchase a design team package of your choice or our Limited Edition, Bi-Montly Card Kit (a $29.50 retail value). Kits are issued to Design Team members, for promotional purposes, one month before they are released and will be available for preorder during that time. During certain months, you may be asked to include at least one product from a specific theme or brand in your choice package. You will receive additional store credit or a specific product selected by Kay on those months, and will be expected to create a 5th project using promotional products. (You will be expected to complete a 5th project during Kit months too. You will be exempt from participating in the October 2018 Kit promotion)

Mini sample packs of at least 3 Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends (available exclusively at White Rose Crafts LLC) from each Bi-Montly release, provided and shipped by DPP owner, Amber MacMurtry (approximately 1tsp of product). The next release is October 1st.

25% exclusive, unlimited White Rose Crafts store discount for the length of your design team term.

Additional exposure for your work, as we will be featuring it on our company social media pages and Blog.

Links back to your personal blog, and tag backs on Instagram and facebook for posts featuring your work.
