What we’re looking for:  

• At least a 6 month term commitment.
• You must have an active personal stamping blog, be an active member of SCS, have (and use) a Pinterest account and access to Facebook.  Twitter is a bonus but not a deal breaker.
• Create quality projects (cards, 3D/altered item, scrapbook) that reflect your personal style, originality and best use of the products we sell. 
• Ability to take (and edit) high quality photographs that highlight the products and the amazing artistic skills you have.  You must also be able to watermark your pictures.

• International applicants are welcome to apply.

What you get:

• A 6 month term with the possibility of being offered an extension.
• Quarterly gift certificate (including free shipping) to the store to buy supplies of your selection.  We want you to be able to choose products that inspire you and that you will want to use, so we let you select your products and don’t assign them to you.  Occasionally you may be asked to highlight a certain product but you always get to spend your gift certificate the way you want to.
• Generous storewide discount code for any additional purchases you make.
• Encouragement, friendship and enthusiasm for and appreciation of your work!
