Hello, everyone! Welcome to Altenew Educators “Giving Thanks” Blog Hop and Linky Party where we celebrate our beloved Educators and invite you to join in the fun!
Like always, we will begin by telling you a bit about who are these Educators and how did they end up here. Well, to start, all our 23 Educators applied for the Altenew Educator Certification Program (AECP) by filling out the form HERE. Most of them did so because they wanted to turn their hobby into a profession and that is what AECP is about.
Through AECP, you enhance your crafting skills as well as teaching skills when you reach the final step. You go through a series of courses in all the three Levels of AECP to refine your skills and learn new tips and tricks along the way! And a Final Challenge too to pass each level!
If you have the love of creating and sharing your knowledge with others, this is the program for you. You can check out the testimonials from Amber and Nancy (our Educators) below.
Our lovely Educators have been teaching workshops all over and you have seen a few of them on social media too doing Facebook Live sessions for Altenew. Today, they have some amazing projects to share with you! Prepare to be blown away!!
Just like last time we want YOU to be part of the fun too, so we decided to host a linky party again as you all LOVED it so much last time! The theme of this hop is “Giving Thanks“; it was picked out by our very own Educator Terri Marie Koszler and here is what she has to say, “I think it would be a great idea if we could encourage people to make thank you cards which could be sent to Dr's and Hospitals to thank them for all of their hard work during this global pandemic. They have all worked tirelessly to keep us healthy, often risking their own lives”.
Indeed, these are trying times and people all over the world are suffering because of COVID-19 even if they are not infected. A lot of people are being pushed to their limits and tested, especially the front liners: the doctors, nurses, delivery people, shopkeepers, the people at grocery stores, etc. They are out there giving it their all so let's as crafters, do what we do best, and show our gratitude by making some cards following the theme of “Giving Thanks“. Create something and send it out to hospitals near you. Or when you do your groceries, hand over a card to someone who works there! And you can even leave one for your mailman; you know he brings our crafty packages after all. We are sure you will make their day!
Scroll to the end of this post to link up your projects; as many as you like!

Nice technique
Thank you for inspiring me to create!
Thanks for the inspiration as always. I am nearing the end of AECP Level 2 and have loved the journey so far.
What a lovely array of cards, it’s an absolute treat to the eyes. Thanks for inspiring.
Very pretty cards! I always think about signing up for the Educator program. I think I’ll make it a goal for next week.
Thanks for another great and inspiring blog hop. I love that Altenew has such a great community of so many talented people willing to share their talents.
Always love your blog hops!!! ❤️❤️
Always need thank you cards and grateful to see some amazing card designs.
Winning sounds fun!
Thanks Altenew for providing so many examples to inspire my card making!
Thanks for some amazing inspiration today! All of these projects are beautiful!
I love your products! Thank you for all the inspiration!
Thank you so much Altenew for giving us such inspiration and so many great ideas, products and releases, and giving us so many opportunities to win fabulous prizes from you. With the world as upside as it is right now this is one of the few things I have to look forward to and put a smile of my face so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I have always loved Altenew products… and the techniques and projects created by the educators are remarkabale..
The Giving Thanks theme is perfect for this trying time.
I am interested in the educator series and hope to get involved in the future
Thank you so much to the awesome educators at Altenew! You really bring so much to your classes and I truly appreciate all the support and inspiration you provide!
Loved all the cards and it is an inspiration to me to go beyond my comfort zone and think out of the box.
I really love all the beautiful flowers on the cards. So many pretty flowers stamps. I can’t wait to watch the videos and see how all of them were created. I guess now I can add “become an educator” to my goal list because it sounds like a lot of fun!
This pandemic got me to get my stamping g supplies out again and send “Miss You” cards out to friends. That is when I first discovered Altenew and placed my first order. I have never done a blog hop before. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s creations!
Beautiful cards. I love watching Altenew instructors.
I always love your products and amazing inspirations!
Love when we get to see new makes from your educators!
I just love, love, love your florals AND the fact that your designer team is international…..I always feel like I’ve taken a trip around the world when I do a hop!!! Thank you Altenew :)
I just got my order and I can’t wait to try some new techniques! As a frontline nurse in Boston I collected 650 cards from around the world for those caring for covid patients. Tears were shed all too much!
Such pretty cards and so important to say thanks. So many reasons to be grateful for what we have.
A beautiful tribute and yay new inspiration! Love the established team and look forward to new educators as well. Thank you for acknowledging them! Beautiful creations showing the beauty of Altenews products.
Thank you for all the inspiration!!
Beautiful creations and inspirations!! :)
Amazing inspiration!
I love your products! I’m having so much fun with my new supplies and have another order ready to go. So much inspiration here!
