Altenew Educators “Giving Thanks” Blog Hop and Linky Party + Giveaway

by Altenew

Blog Hop 1

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.boxes graphics 2 1b3e7f50 0914 43b0 903a 81c2ffb0bebd

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!

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!

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!
