New Color Challenge and last month's winner

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

First I wanted to say thanks for all the entrants to the color challenge. It was a blast checking out all your projects. And the winner of one digi for their project is Pankti!!! Congratulations. Please contact us within 48 hours to claim your prize. You can use the contact us tab at the top of this blog.

And now for this our color palette for April.



I just have to say how much I love this color palette. Honestly I'm a total green person.

Here is some dt inspiration:

Kerry's



Axa's



Both projects used our new sets from Tia and Cuddles and Patty. We are having an issue with the pictures showing up, but don't worry I have been assured it should be up today.

This month we are going to spice it up and not only give the winner a digi or 2 but also a goodie bag filled with Basic Grey papers, Copics and some Glitter pens!!!

We will need at least 10 entrants in order to give this prize so make sure you tell a friend.

The deadline to enter is May 10th by 11:59 pm PST. All you have to do is use the color palette above and create away. If you have one of our images, why not flaunt it? :)

Have a great week and hope to see your entry soon!

Paper Craft Artists Needed!!!

Hello everyone!

InStyle Stamps is looking for 2 Paper Craft Artists who can think outside the
box and create super cute projects featuring our stylish digital stamps.

Even if you are not interested in this position for yourself, please tell a friend!

Here are the details:
1. Applicant must be willing to create 6 projects per month with digital
images provided by ISS.

2. Applicant must be willing to create a well written blog post for each
project that promotes the image used to create the project. In other words,
all projects must contain a completed project image, step-by-step photos,
and detailed instructions explaining how to create the project.

3. Applicant must create a variety of projects with no more than 1 card
and 1 scrapbook pages accepted in a one month period. In other words,
we want to show our customers that our digital stamps can be used for more
than just cards and scrapbook pages. We want to show them a wide variety
of ideas. For example, we want to see a mixture of wall art, gift bags, baskets,

tabletop pieces, holiday decorations, wedding and event ideas, and even clothing
options.

4. Applicant must agree to an exclusivity clause. All projects accepted by ISS
will be exclusive to ISS.

5. Applicant must be willing to chat up the complete project by linking to the
company blog

on their personal blog. However, applicant will not be featuring the project
on the personal blog.

5. Applicant must agree to a 3 month term. At the end of the term, we may
renegotiate.

Applicant should:
1. Have exceptional coloring skills. Most of our images are made to be
colored. Paper piecing is also welcomed. It is not necessary to use
copics only. You are welcome to use any coloring medium to complete your
projects, however neat coloring is imperative. All projects must be
professional and clean with no visible mistakes.

2. Think outside the box. We are looking for individuals that will wow us
with every project they create. Because this is a paid position we expect
the quality of work produced to be on point and top quality.

3. Be committed. This position will last a minimum of 3 months. At the
end of the term, the individual or ISS may cancel or renegotiate the
contract.

4. Have exceptional writing skills. Because you will be blogging on the
company blog about your creations, your writing should be clear, concise
and free from grammatical errors. We do have a professional editor on
staff that will proof your work. Any rewrites will be done by the blogger.

5. Fun loving. Please be excited about crafting and working with our
images. You will be creating images with our new sets that are released
each month and so it is important that you like ISS and are willing to chat
up our product when given the opportunity.

6. Must not be over extended with other crafting commitments. We are
looking for individuals that have the time to dedicate to our company.
While it is ok to be on other design teams concurrently with this
position, it is imperative that our projects get top billing.

You cannot rush or throw projects together and expect to get paid. All
projects should have TLC (tender loving craft time) and that TLC should
show in every project you submit!

What you will get:
Monetary Compensation - $30.00 per project/post (you keep the project)
6 images per month (Images are yours to keep and use for non-commercial
purposes)
Bio and Picture on our design team and staff page
25% discount on future ISS orders

completing your position, should you request one.

3 projects you are proudest of that display your talent. Please include only one type of sample per project type. In other ones, one card, one scrapbook page, one box, etc.

The deadline to apply is 11:59 pm PST, May 1st, 2011. Applicants will be notified by May 3rd, 2011 via email. Should the applicant need to create a project using one of our images for further consideration, we will let you know that once we receive your project samples.
