I've been with the Altenew DT from the beginning and it’s been an amazing ride so far! I’m still deeply honored that I can be a part of this amazing journey.  It’s been wonderful to watch how this company grows and evolves. Their beautiful stamps and dies are a joy to work with, they are always beautifully designed, easy to use, and keep inspiring my creative juices to flow. It’s also a real privilege to be able to work with such a talented, kind, and committed team of people who stand behind Altenew.

Crafting with Altenew is fundamental to my creative expression. Being a part of the design team enables me to share the joy of paper craft with the Altenew community. Since the beginning, I always thought Altenew illustrates the best floral stamps. The balance of classical and contemporary design has challenged my artistry and I am excited to see how else Altenew changes the crafting industry.

What's not to love?! Altenew has been inspiring my card projects for many years and they continue to lead the industry with their innovative designs, beautiful mediums, and crafty tools. Creating gorgeous paper craft projects is easy when the basic supplies are so well-designed. I feel very lucky to be part of this fantastic team; they encourage, support, and inspire me every single day!

I am a massive fan of Altenew! Being a part of this fantastic company has always felt like being at a neverending crafty party. I know whichever Altenew product I pick, I will end up with a beautiful project; they add a special magic to my creations. You can feel the fun I had making them, and that's saying something!

Svitlana Shayevich (Joined in October 2015)

I've been on Altenew DT for over 7 years and it never stops to amaze me. The products always inspire me and truly fit my cardmaking style. My personal preference is realistic floral designs and, recently, I've especially loved working with layering coloring stencils. I'm always excited when a new product type is being released as I know that it will be top-notch! It's an honor and constant pleasure to be a part of this wonderful family!

Thanks to everyone at Altenew for giving me this super RAD opportunity.

Altenew is such a special company to me. Their stunning flower stamps were where my love of coloring was born. Altenew's elegant style and innovative product line speak to my heart and make creating with each new release so easy! It is such a pleasure to be part of the design team. Happy 9th Anniversary, Altenew!

The experience of being part of the Altenew family can only be described as AMAZING! My love for Altenew started with a stamp, and it has grown exponentially through the years. I am always in awe of their newest products, and how they are always the perfect complement to the stories I want to document. I am so thankful for the opportunities and all the love Altenew shares with us!

Michelle Short (Joined September 2021)

I have followed Altenew since the beginning. I fell in love with the floral stamps but have since fallen in love with the dies, embellishments, paper, coloring mediums, and tools! Altenew is such a caring, supportive, and innovative company. Joining the Altenew Design Team has been a dream come true and such a huge honour for me!

Lydia Evans (Joined in November 2015)

When Tasnim asked me to join the team, it was a dream come true! What I love most about Altenew products is everyone that can stamp one image over another will get absolutely amazing results – it seriously does level the playing field when it comes to stamping! One of my favorites has to be Watercolor Wonders – it’s one of the first stamp sets I purchased and I still reach for it again and again. I still can’t believe that I get to play with gorgeous Altenew products daily. It truly is an honor to be part of this amazing team.

Jenny Colacicco (Joined September 2021)

Joining the Altenew team was a dream come true! With cool geometrics, gorgeous florals and everything in between, Altenew continues to challenge me creatively while letting my crafty persona shine through. I'm always inspired by all the gorgeous mediums which allow me to revisit my old favorites in a fun new way. Altenew feels like a community – one I'm thrilled to be part of.

Happy anniversary, Altenew! I’m beyond honored and happy to have been a part of the Altenew Design Team for almost six years. I love all Altenew products, but my current favorites are the mixed media inks and the washi tapes. These products inspire me every day and push me to try out new techniques! Thank you, Altenew, for having me.
