New Design Team

Filed Under Announcements | 9 Comments

I think this is the best and worst part of having a rubber stamp business – best because I get so see so many talented people and hear about who they are and what they do, but the worst because I have to actually choose.

I want to say thank you so very much to everyone for putting yourselves out there and submitting. Please know, that I would loved to have chosen you all but unfortunately I can’t. Choosing a design team is ongoing, so please, if you didn’t get chosen this time, there is always the next design team call around the corner.

So without further delay I’d like to introduce the newest Eat Cake Graphics Design Team (in alphabetical order):
Amanda Reed
Barbara Housner
Cathrine St.Clair
Celine Ryan
Heike Ihde
Janis Choi (YoungSuh Choi)
Kelly Clark
Leigh O’Brien
Madame Samm
Maria Lovello
Sandy Allnock

And yes, see what I mean about not being able to choose – the design is double the size I had originally planned. :)

Looking for new Design Team members

Filed Under Announcements | 3 Comments

penguinHi Everyone.

For those in the U.S. I hope you had a wonderful (and yummy) Thanksgiving. I think I’m still a bit full – and I brought home a tin full of cookies my mom made – not helping my waistline!

On to why I’m posting…I’d really like to start looking for 5 members to be part of the next Eat Cake Graphics Design Team. If you might be interested please read on.

WHAT YOU GET

  1. A $30 a month credit towards Eat Cake Graphics rubber stamps (not good towards supplies or quilt patterns)
  2. Free shipping once a month

WHAT I’D LIKE EACH MONTH

  1. I’d like 2 to 3 projects – either cards or other types of projects, I’m pretty open. I’d prefer a mix of simple and a bit more complex.
  2. You must use an Eat Cake Graphics image as the main part of your project. I don’t mind if you use other stamps in your projects, but the purpose of this Design Team is to promote Eat Cake Graphics’ stamps.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

  1. The ability to either take good quality photos OR if you can’t take photos I will need the projects so I can photograph them (I can certainly return them once I’m done, you just have to let me know)
  2. I’d prefer that you have a blog or belong to some sort of stamping forum so that you can post your monthly projects
  3. Promote Eat Cake Graphics Design Team (I can provide a little graphic badge for your blog)
  4. You’d be signing up for a 4 month commitment

IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN, PLEASE SEND ME (HOLLY)…

  1. An email with your name and a wee bit about yourself
  2. A link to your blog if you have one
  3. Pictures of a few projects you’ve created

The deadline for submission is the end of December.
I’ll announce the team right after the new year, January 2nd.

I’d also very much like to thank all the past members! I was always excited to receive emails with new projects – it was like Christmas all the time! Thank you.

Well I think I’m already on pins-and-needles just thinking about this. I look forward to hearing from you. And if you have any questions just let me know, holly@eatcakegraphics.com.

In the meantime I thought I’d post a Halloween card I made using some of my new Halloween stamps.

The fence in the background is a Martha Stewart punch. I punched it out of gray cardstock, added a bit of color by dabbing black and silver ink and then sanded it just a little. The black and gray flowers are also from a Martha Stewart punch – I believe it’s the hydrangea punch (has 3 flowers on it). I found the little spider crystals at a scrapbook store, but you could certainly make them using black stick-on crystals and then drawing some legs. Oh, and I added a wee bit of stitching around the edge by first punching holes and then sewing with some dark gray embroidery floss.

Design Team – emails sent

Filed Under Announcements | Leave a Comment

Hi All.

Well…I’ve sent out emails to those I’ve asked to be on the next Design Team. I’m just waiting to hear back from all of them – want to make sure they still want to. :)

I want to thank everyone who sent in submissions – it was such a hard choice! I love seeing what people create and I wish I could have said yes to you all – unfortunately I’d go broke if I did.

This is going to be an ongoing process, so if it’s ok with all those who submitted I will be saving your names.

Again, thank you so very much and stay tuned!
