Terms of contract:
- You may use anything you like to make your cards and projects but the main focus must be Downland Stamps.
- Your 2 projects must promote Downland Crafts and include the name of the stamp/stamp set you are using as well as the text sticker that we will provide for you.
- You are very welcome to give away or even sell the items you make. We do not need you to send them to us at this time.
- You are not permitted to advertise your own business or any other company on your scheduled posts but can of course post as much as you like on any other dates with the same makes and promote them as you wish.
- If for any reason you can’t post on your given day please let us know so we can make arrangements to cover the gap.
- You will not be on a fixed term contract, therefore you are free to leave the design team whenever you like. The only condition is that you fulfil the 2 two projects if you haven’t already for the stamps that have been sent for that scheduled session.
If you’d like to apply to become a design team elf then simply make us a card using any stamps of your choice and send us a photo of it along with your name, email, country location and short bio to designteamelf@downlandcrafts.ie. Be sure to state which type of elf you are applying for in the subject line (Social, Blog or Video) and include any links to your social media pages, blogs and YouTube channels you have. The closing date for applications is Monday 16th August and the successful applicants will be contacted within 2 weeks by 30th August, 2021.
We’re looking for a variety of styles and abilities to showcase our stamps in as many ways as possible so we want to hear from new crafters as well as seasoned professionals. Our main focus is on card making but if you use stamps for any other crafts we’d be interested to know more.
Downland Crafts is based in Ireland so we would love to hear from Irish crafters, however we would also welcome applications from anywhere in the world. As you may know we currently have DT Elves in Europe, the USA and India, as well as here in Ireland.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Happy crafting
