Pink Persimmon is a Clear Polymer Stamp Company and we are looking for a new Creative Team.  We are looking for 4-6 individuals that will assist with project samples, tutorials, blog posts and creative ideas utilizing Pink Persimmon stamp sets during the 6 month period of September 1st, 2012 thru February 31st, 2013.  At this time we can only accept US applicants.

Pink Persimmon is owned by sisters Judi Andersen and Darcy Andersen McNairy.  We specialize in vintage inspired designs and many of our stamp sets lend themselves to uses beyond cards and scrapbooking.  We are hoping to find a few enthusiastic and creative individuals that will enjoy working along with us as we continue to market Pink Persimmon Stamp sets direct to consumers and also to retail stores.

Each of the projects must be written up as a blog post for the Pink Persimmon blog complete with a material list and simple step-by-step instructions. All projects are due on the 20th of the prior month (for example, projects for June are due on May 20th)

3. Individuals who have the ability to clearly write and photograph a tutorial project.

These projects are separate from the regular Creative Team requirements and you will be compensated for your time to prepare the materials.)
4. Individuals who are willing to submit their designs to various magazines, publications, challenge blogs, etc.  We want our Creative Team to act as ambassadors for Pink Persimmon who will look for opportunities to help us grow our company.
