Merry Christmas! Challenge Blog Closed for the Holidays

Hello Ai fans and Merry Christmas!

We just wanted to let you know how much we've loved seeing all of your Art Impressions projects this
year!  We've seen an abundance of beautiful projects.  Keep all
of this amazing inspiration coming in the new year.  Remember to use #artimpressions when you 
share on social media so we can see your wonderful work.

For now,  we're giving our Design Teams a little break so that they may spend time with their
friends and families.



We'll be back on January 2nd with our first challenge of 2025.
Do you enter our challenges?  If not, you should.  We choose a Top Spot and a 
Lucky Random Winner every two weeks.  Our winners get a free stamp set of their choice!
Who doesn't love free stamps??
We hope you'll join us!



We know the holidays are so busy.
We also know that many people take time off from work to relax during this time of year.
If you're looking to do some creating you can check out tutorial videos on our YouTube channel.

There is also a TON of inspiration on our Pinterest page.  You can find all of our Design Team
projects for both the Daily and the Watercolor Team there.  We also share all of the fan cards
and projects that we can find and it's all broken down by category.  
I pinned almost 2,500 new projects since last December putting us at 33,535 pins total!

From all of us at Art Impressions, we hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday season.
See you back here in 2025!

Jami's Top 5 of 2024!

 

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!
This is ReneĆ© here filling in for Jami.
She has had a tremendously busy November and December and needed some time off.
I didn't want 2024 to end without seeing some of her finest work.
I took the liberty of selecting my favorites that she created this year.
This is in no particular order except of course the bee card.
That one is FOR SURE my favorite!
Just click on the photos to be taken to her blog posts for information and product links.







We're looking forward to new challenges and lots of Design Team inspiration in 2025.
We hope you are too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Diane's Top 5 for 2024

 Hello Ai Watercolor Fans!

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m thrilled to share my Top 5 Projects of the Year! Being part of the Ai Watercolor Design Team for nearly two years has been an incredible journey filled with creativity and growth. Every step of the way has been a true joy, and I’m eagerly anticipating all the new inspiration 2025 will bring.

Thank you to everyone who has liked and commented on our posts throughout the year—your support means the world to us. Now, let’s dive into My Top 5 of 2024! (Click the link above each card to view the original post.)

January - Balloon Race

April - Gardening Girlfriends Plant Sale

August - Friends Like You Make the World a Better Place




I know the title of this post says 'Top 5,' but I couldn’t resist sneaking in a bonus 2024 favorite: my watercolor painting of 5809 Gnome Home Matchbook! I was absolutely surprised and deeply honored to have my work selected for the matchbook packaging. This project holds a special place in my heart!



Thank you for joining me on the blog today for my Top 5 of 2024! I hope this walk down Watercolor Weekend memory lane brought a smile to your face. I’ll see you back here in January 2025. Until then, wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a New Year filled with joy, good health, and, of course, Happy Painting!

Gennette's Top 5 for 2024

 


Hello and welcome! 2024 is coming to a close (are you as stunned as I am?), and the Design Team are sharing their favorite cards for the year. I'm not going to lie, but I struggled with this even though I have only been on the team since June.  I had to narrow the list down and it wasn't easy.  I absolutely love the Watercolor line, but there are definitely some favorites from the regular line as well.  I would like to thank Bonnie and everyone at Art Impressions for their kindness and generosity in suppling us with the most beautiful sets to create with! I would also like to thank Renee and the rest of the Design Team for your guidance, support and friendship. To the fans of Art Impressions I thank you from the bottom of my heart, your constant encouragement and support have been a blessing! We couldn't do this without you, and for that I am grateful! Without further ado, here are my top 5 favorite cards in random order, just click on the title above each picture to see the original blog post if you wish to see how a card was made.











I am wishing you all the happiest of holidays and a very blessed new year!  
See you next year!  Hugs! 
Gennette

Janet's Top 10 for 2024

 Hello Ai Fans! It seems impossible but 2024 is coming to a close. It's been a wonderfully creative year as a design team member of Art Impressions. I am honored to be here every week to share an AI creation. It's truly a joy. As is the custom, I'm sharing with you my top 10 projects of the year. They're in no particular order as there is no way I can rank them. I love them all! So here it goes. I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.




















I wish you all a very happy holiday and a fantastic 2025! As always, please visit the Ai store for the products I used and all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Happy creating and see you next year!

Tasha's Top 5 of 2024!

 Happy Friday everyone! Today I'm sharing my Top 5 favorite cards from 2024. I cannot believe how fast this year went but loved looking back at all the projects I made!

The Number 5 Spot goes to my "Time to Celebrate!" card. I had fun mixing stamp sets to make this birthday card and enjoyed coloring these little animals!
The Number 4 Spot goes to the pand-tastic "I like you Beary much!" Card. This card features the KH5821-Panda Set and I love how the background colors pop with the black & white pandas!

The Number 3 Spot is for the "Mousey Christmas!" card featuring the 5564-Mousey Christmas Set. This little mouse stamp is too cute and is just perfect for a holiday card!

The Number 2 Spot is for my "Happy Halloween" card featuring the cute owl from the Spooky Crew Set. I enjoy making Halloween cards and always love Art Impressions not-so-spooky stamps!



The Number 1 Spot is my "Warm Winter Wishes" MB Card from the Teeny Tiny Challenge. I loved how this one turned out and it was fun mixing my MB sets to create this little scene, I also LOVE this kitty stamp! 
Thank you so much for checking out my Top 5 cards of 2024. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
