Digital Designer Job Opportunity

Cedar Chest Designs is currently looking for two more designers to submit digital images for our website that will be launching in October of 2012. This is the perfect job for somebody with artistic talents who would like to work from home and pull in a little extra money each month. It’s also a great opportunity for artists who would like to gain exposure in the industry and have their art published.

About Cedar Chest Designs

Cedar Chest Designs is a new online store for digital stamps that will feature a large collection of images and patterns in a variety of artistic styles. These images are primarily used by crafters along with alcohol markers or mixed media inks for cards and projects. Digital images of this type are part of a well established trend in the paper crafting industry.

Image Listings

Once an image is approved, Cedar Chest Designs will handle the distribution, marketing, promotions, sells and order processing. Designers are only responsible for submitting images. No minimum or maximum requirements are placed on the designers. You can submit images any time they are ready.

Compensation

Pay is entirely commission based depending on the number of your images that are sold each month. Designers do not pay any listing fees or up-front fees and earn a percent of each image that sells. You will also receive a one-time only $50 bonus once you’re first twenty images are submitted and approved. We will only be listing images that are submitted by the designers who have been hired internally. The site is not open to public listings like Etsy or eBay.

All images are listed with full credit to the artist. Designers maintain full intellectual property rights over the image and they will be featured with profile information and personal links on the store website.

Please remember that our site is new and it will take a couple months to launch and build up a customer base. Compensation payments will increase as the website grows and expands.

Requirements

We are looking for fresh new talent. Do not feel like you need to be previously published or have experience selling your images to apply. We are looking for individuals with at least a basic knowledge of the paper crafting industry in areas such as scrapbooking, stamping, digital crafts and alcohol markers. All applicants must have the ability to submit clean, high quality, ready to use, digital art files in .jpg and .png format.

Unique Crafters Sparkle and Shine Challenge

Todays card is for the August challenge over at Unique Crafters. The theme is any project with glitter and shine. For my card I used a Magnolia image that I colored with Copic Markers and then added Glamour Dust to the wings with a Quickie glue pen. That must be my favorite method for adding sparkle to my images. I finished the page up with leftover paper and embelishments from a scrapbook page I did a few months ago and stiched around the edge with my black pen.

For the image I used the following Copic Markers:

Dress and Butterfly R000, R81, R83, R85

Skin E0000, E000, E00

Hair E31, E33, E35

Wings BV00, R000, B0000, BV0000

Shadow C3, C1

Be sure to stop by the Unique Crafters Challenge Blog and add your "Sparkle and Shine" example.

Patriotic Challenge- Altered Book

In cerebration of the Fourth of July, the Unique Crafters Challenge Blog theme is all about Patriotic projects with Red, White and Blue. I went all out with this project and created an altered multi media Mini Album. I painted a hard back children's book with texture paint and then covered it with scraps of paper, cutouts and embellishments from my stash. Then I used Modge Podge to seal all the pieces on. I love the way it came out.

Flips and Folds Challenge

I loved working on this weeks challenge for Craft Your Passion.

This weeks theme is...

FLIPS AND FOLDS
We want to see more than one flip or fold in your cards this week.
So get creative and show us what you've got.

This week, we have the honor of being sponsored by...

 

To make this card, I used a full 12 x 12 sheet and cut a 6 x 4 inch pieces out of the bottom two corners. Then I folded the sides in and the middle piece in half and tucked it up inside the card. When it is open, the card will stand on its own with a three dimensional piece in the middle.

 

I colored up my adorable fairy Tiddly Inks image with Copic markers and used pop dots to add her and the embellishments to the card. This project actually looks way better in person.

Ice Cream Sundae

This weeks challenge for Craft Your Passion is about projects using the chevron pattern. I used the bright colors from the chevron pattern to make this summer themed birthday card. The image is the "Ice Cream Sundae" digital stamp from Delicious Doodles and I used my Copic markers to color it. The purple tone on the glass was made with BV000 and BV20. I used bits of supplies from my stash to assemble the card and then finished it off with several little pink gems using my I-Rock tool.

Unique Crafters Challenge

This months challenge for the Unique Crafters Blog is all about how to use buttons. My absolutely favorite way to use buttons is by adding them to the middle of my flowers like I have done on this two page layout.

This layout was designed in a unique new style that I started doing when I needed to add different information and photos to the same layout for multiple books. I start with a paper layout and embellishments, then I scanned the pages and added the words and the photos digitally. The double process allows me to add different photos for a different member of the family.

Baby Girl and Boy Card Set

This week’s challenge for Craft Your Passion is all about babies. I decided to make a card for both in this little matching set. I had a lot of fun cutting the circles and the doily frame with my Silhouette Cameo. The images where colored with Copic markers and the supplies all came from my stash. I used by Tim Holtz ink to distress the edge of the images and the cards to soften the look.

Come join us at the Craft Your Passion Challenge this week for a chance to win free prizes. Our sponsor for this challenge is Patties Creations and Unique Crafters and entries are due by midnight on June 3rd.
