You must submit 1 card or project to me and on your blog each week… The card MUST have Alota Rubber Stamp ONLY.

Email a photo of each card or project so they can be place in your gallery on our site

I do require you to send me the actual cards so they can be use at conventions and or for the promotion of Alota Rubber Stamps.   They may be mailed weekly or monthly

Active (clickable)  Alota Rubber Stamps logo must be placed on your blog.

Links to the stamps used on your cards when you post them on your blog and on entries to promote stamps used. If you belong to any other groups please feel fee to post your cards.

Make an announcement on your blog for new releases and sales

Be an active member in the Alota Rubber Stamps Challenge Blog at www.alotarubberstamps.blogspot.com and host a challenge of your choice rotating with other Design Team Members.

Also be an active member of the Alota Rubber Stamps Facebook page.

Photo of yourself and a brief bio that will be in our Design Team Gallery


This is what you will expect from me.

I love to show off my Design Team artwork and will always give proper credits

You will have a photo along with your bio on my web site with a clickable link to your blog.

A gallery where only your cards will be highlighted when a visitor clicks your name.

Now for the good part…

I will send you a Design Team package of stamps about every 8 weeks to create your cards and projects.

Sometimes I will send specific stamps that I want you to use on a card.  Other times you may use any of your “Alota” stamps you might have on hand.

At times I will ask you to shop for the stamps to create a card of your choice…This of course will be a treat for you from Alota Rubber Stamps.

When there is a new release each member will receive stamps. Most likely everyone will get the same package but sometimes they may be different.

20% discount on your rubber stamp purchase at Alota Rubber Stamps

Application Details:
