2017 N&T Design Team

It's a week full of announcements!  Monday we bid farewell to some much loved team members, yesterday we introduced you to the new video team and a monthly technique feature, and today we're unveiling the new design team for 2016.

We're so excited about this year's team, and we think that you will be too.  We've got scrapbookers, mixed media specialists, and of course lots of card makers represented.  Here they are:

Cheiron Brandon

I work in the financial district by day, and unwind in my studio at night. I live right outside of NYC- in NJ with my husband and two rescue pups. I have been an artist as long as I can remember and love experimenting with new products and techniques in my card making, especially paint! I enjoy sharing the art of stamping with others and teach crafting and card making workshops each month in NYC.

Nancy Damiano

I live in central New Jersey with my husband and son. I've been involved in the scrapbook industry for 10+ years. I've recently taken the leap into cardmaking and I'm in love. Coloring my heart out to create a small token of appreciation for someone I love - that's for me! I'm enjoying learning all the techniques that go into these small works of art. When I'm not crafting, I'm traveling, reading and binging on Netflix. I have a passion for the color aqua, Disney World, and paper goods. I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. I learned long ago that the best things are handmade!

Sveta Fotinia

Hello! My name is Sveta Marchenko (blogger nickname - Fotinia), I'm 29, living with my hubby and abyssinian cat in port city of Odessa, Ukraine. I have a master degree in economics but work as a marine crew coordinator. I've discovered cardmaking about 3 years ago, since that time I can't live without stamps, inks, paper, my new friends and blog. My main hobbies before it were traveling and photography, so I also like to make layouts and mini albums to keep my memories in a beautiful way. Still cardmaking is the main passion for me: stamping, die-cutting, watercoloring and trying new techniques  is a pure magic! The main inspiration for me when I start my project are the supplies: when I take stamp set or a new die my brain starts create lots of combinations and pictures. After hard day of work, this is the best relaxing therapy for me. My dream is to have own crafty space, as now all my crafty things live in a few boxes while we are reconstructing our apartment.

Daria Grushina

I'm a 30-plus-a-few girl, now living in Petrozavodsk that is in the North West of Russia. I have been traveling a lot - lived in Sochi, Saint-Petersburg, Finland, and even got my MA in Ottawa, Canada... But now I'm back to my roots, married to the kindest men and run a small shoe shop.. O, and we have a fatty cat, that we really love:)  

I started to make cards only in September/October 2014, not so long ago... That is another reason while I feel so blessed and honored to get this invitation and to create among the most talented ladies... I have always loved cards, but after seeing one of Kristina Werner's video on youtube and realizing that I can make them myself - I couldn't stop since. I am 100% card-maker with a tend to Clean&Simple style. And this year will definitely bring lots of fresh and trendy ideas and tons of inspiration :)

Debby Hughes

Hi, I’m Debby. I live in Scotland, UK with my husband and three children. Now rapidly growing and flying the nest, it was when my children were young that I turned to card making as a way to find a little bit of ‘me’ time from caring for my young family. In 2010 I started my blog Lime Doodle Design as a means of sharing my creations. Blogging lead to reigniting another of my passions that of photography. As time has gone on my focus has changed from simply sharing what I create to sharing how it was made; what products, techniques and even on occasion how it was photographed.

You can find more of what I do on my blog Lime Doodle Design and connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube.

Kelly Latevola (yup, Kelly is doing double duty for us this year)

I was a Police/Fire/Ems dispatcher for a living but have since moved on to working in the Detective Bureau . Which is wonderful and terrible at the same time. I am married to a wonderful man and we have one little bundle of never ending energy, Nathan, who is 3. Nathan's best friend is our dog Molly who is a boxer/mastiff mix. Between the two of them my house is never clean! Gah! My style of card making is pretty Clean and Simple. I sometimes venture into the Clean and Layered but even then my design isn't very busy. I do love a good one layer card, especially if it's a scene!

Miriam Prantner

My name is Miriam Prantner.  My husband Andrew and I have two daughters Ellie (9) and Carina (6).  I've been crafting ever since I was little, scrapbooking for over 16 years, and making cards for the last several years.  I love to dabble and try new techniques/styles, but I tend to have a pretty CAS style even when I'm experimenting.  I've been designing stamps and dies for Neat & Tangled since late 2013.

Keeway Tsao

Hello there! My name is Keeway Tsao and I live in sunny California with my sweetheart. Crafting has been my passion and getaway into creativity. I have loved coloring for as long as I can remember, and always carry something to color wherever I go! I'm not really sure how to describe my style, but I can tell you that I craft how I feel! I love to let the products inspire me and just pour my heart into my work. Cardmaking is my happiness and I'm grateful to be able to share it with all of you.
