This announcement was on the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator website:
We’ve created a way for you to help us design and choose new stamp sets–In with You (beta program). The In with You program is currently open to anyone (demonstrators, customers, etc.) in the United States and Canada, including District of Columbia, APO/FPO, and Puerto Rico, but not Québec. So spread the word!
Once you join our In with You online community, you can submit your original artwork for stamp set challenges, vote and comment on other people’s submissions, earn badges, and interact with others in the community. We will produce and sell one or more stamp sets from among the top-voted submissions in each challenge. Plus there are fabulous prizes for top designs.
Here’s the scoop on the current challenge, which you’ll also find on the In with You site in the left column under Current Campaign:
Contest dates: July 18-August 31, 2013
Submit ideas early so you have plenty of time to gather support for your work (you know–get your friends to vote for your design).
Contest theme: Illustrated Sayings, Plays on Words, Puns
Go ahead–wow us with your brilliance, make us laugh till we cry, show us just how witty you are. Send us one to five of your funniest, cleverest, and cutest illustrated puns, plays on words, or sayings.

Monstermaniacs, designed by Doris D., is the second winning stamp set from “In With You,” Stampin’ Up’s new stamp set design challenge. In July, art enthusiasts were given the challenge to create a monster themed stamp set. Voters fell in love with Doris’ cute artwork and voted the set to victory! Here’s what she had to say about her creation: “I tried to create some scary subjects for my submission…. obviously cute wins over creepy!!! I guess these are the type of monsters I would want to see on my greeting cards…..at my age I don’t handle scary very well, lol!!! I also tried to incorporate a variety of subjects…even a 3 eyed fashionista! Not sure how many of you can remember the old television message, “Please don’t adjust your antenna, it is not the fault of your receiver!” Enjoy, I hope I created some monsters that tickle your fancy!”
