Couture Cardstock Design Team Call

Couture Cardstock products are hand picked and tested by paper crafters. Our offering includes over 200 different colors and finishes. Couture Cardstock encourages crafters to use paper weighted specifically for the particular technique, project, or challenge at hand. Each of our papers are weighted (light, medium or heavy) and helpful project suggestions can be found in our item descriptions and design team member gallery. We have priced our inventory competitively and though you will feel like you are scouring the bargain bin, you will be enjoying our fashion forward cardstock from the comfort of your arm chair.

We are looking for 4 people to join our team: 1 layout designer, 1 card designer, 1 altered art designer, and 1 SVG/GSD file designer.  You are welcome to apply for as many of these positions as you like, but you must submit a separate application for each position, and you may only be chosen for one position. Applications will be accepted immediately, and must be received by November 15th.

All applications will be reviewed carefully, and 3 finalists for each position will be chosen and notified by November 18th.  At that time, each finalist will be shipped a paper pack, and have 1 week to complete 1 additional project in accordance with our guidelines and using our paper products. Publication and copyrights for this final project will remain with Couture Cardstock regardless of acceptance to the team.  Final decisions will be made by December 5th, and the new team will be announced on December 7th.

This call is open to residents of the US and Canada.

Position Requirements:

  • 4-5 projects per month.  Project load might vary from time to time due to tradeshows and company needs.
