Hey there! Happy Friday! I have an exciting announcement to share today! Have you ever dreamed about joining the Baker’s Dozen as a Guest Designer? Well, now is your chance!

I’m super excited to announce the premiere of a new and exciting stamping talent competition:

Based in part on popular reality competitions such as Last Comic Standing, Project Runway, and Chopped, we’re looking for the very best and creative card-makers to stamp their way to the top. Each week, finalists will be challenged to create a themed card for a panel of celebrity judges in hope of avoiding elimination. Finally, the Top 5 Finalists will be voted on by the public, with the stamper receiving the most votes to win the title of Last Card Standing!

What’s at stake? An amazing prize package that includes a 3 month subscription to the Key Ingredients kit club plus 2 full size stamp sets of the winner’s choice and a coveted Guest Designer spot with the Baker’s Dozen for the November/December Releases!
 

The competition has now begun with the Open Casting Round. To enter, simply upload your best cards to your Splitcoaststampers Gallery using keyword: TELASTCARD. For this round, ANYTHING GOES — Birthday, Thank You, Holidays, Get Well, Congratulations…the sky’s the limit! The only requirement is that you use at least 1 stamped image from Taylored Expressions.
Do you have a card that you think could get you a callback to the next
round? Go for it — submissions do NOT have to be a new creation for the
Open Casting Round and you may enter as many cards as you want! Both
new and old projects will be considered.

Deadline for submission to Open Casting Round: Thursday, September 20, 2012 by 11:59 pm PST.
