Tasha's Top 10 of 2025!

 Hi Art Impressions friends! 

Tasha here sharing my Top 10 cards of 2025. I cannot believe how fast this year went by, and I loved taking some time to look back at all the cards I created throughout the year. 

From playful scenes to bold color palettes, this list includes a little bit of everything that made creating in 2025 so enjoyable. I hope you find inspiration as you follow along with my favorites, and I cannot wait to hear which ones stand out to you too.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane together and celebrate a year filled with creativity, color, and some of the cutest stamped images!


#10 – Masculine Birthday Card

I love the patterned paper on this card and this guy’s bright orange hunting hat. It adds such a fun pop of color and gives the whole design a playful outdoorsy feel. This one still makes me smile every time I look at it.

#9 – Swinging Through Retirement Card

I loved coloring this lady’s golf outfit, and using the Ai patterned paper made it so easy to create a fun golf themed scene. The colors came together perfectly and the whole card feels cheerful and full of energy, just right for celebrating retirement.

#8 – Booo! Happy Halloween Card

This Halloween card was so much fun to make and I love the little kitty image. I really enjoyed mixing images from different stamp sets to build this scene, and the candy corn patterned paper is still one of my favorite Halloween prints. It adds the perfect touch of sweetness to a spooky card.

#7 – Festive Neighborhood Scene

I enjoyed layering all the pieces in this design and creating the little neighborhood scene. My favorite part was adding the tiny holiday lights to the houses because they made everything feel so festive and warm. I also love this patterned paper design and how it ties the whole card together.

#6 – Boo Crew! Card

This card was inspired by Fall colors, and the orange and golden shades really bring the season to life. I had so much fun coloring the trick or treating owl and kitty, and I love how all the paper layers come together in this design.




#5 – Loungin' Is A Lifestyle Card

This design was inspired by what I want to look like when I retire. A glass of lemonade, my favorite drink, a pink and orange swimsuit with a matching hat, and loungin' by the pool in Florida sounds perfect to me. The Ai patterned paper background helped bring this relaxing poolside scene to life.

#4 – Warmest Wishes Card

My favorite part of this card was coloring his winter accessories. I enjoyed creating a knitted pattern on his hat, gloves, and scarf. I also love the colors used throughout the design, which make the whole card feel cozy and cheerful.

#3 – Tiny Deer Holiday Card

This card was the last one I created this year and it made it into my Top 3. I love this little deer image, and the falling snow patterned paper adds the perfect touch to a traditional holiday scene. I truly love everything about this design.

#2 – Happy Halloween!

I had a lot of fun creating this Halloween card. I love how the background turned out with the spiders and webs. I also really enjoyed coloring the bunny's costume, and the white stars with a pop of purple look amazing against the black background.

#1 – 4th of July Front Porch Card

My number one card is a 4th of July front porch design. I love the little doggie sleeping on the chair, all the patriotic colors, the flag patterned paper, and the pop of silver glitter paper. This card was so much fun to make and it feels so festive and cheerful.




Looking back at all these cards from 2025 has been so much fun. Each one holds a special memory and reminds me why I love creating so much. I hope my Top 10 cards inspire you to try something new, mix and match your favorite supplies, and most importantly, enjoy every moment of the creative process. Thank you for following along with me this year, and I cannot wait to see what 2026 brings!

Hole In One by Dana Warren

Hello AI Fans!!

Today I have a cute little card for that special golfer in your life, Gordon Golfer!! Sometimes they did a little pick me up or just a hello! I did some simple paper piecing today, the best way to do paper piecing, pick pattern paper from the same paper pad!! Super easy, no matching necessary!


Whenever I do paper piecing I always start with the paper! Since this is a card for a guy I used Fancy Pants Swagger pad. I think golf pants always call for plaid!! A little stamping and fussy cutting and I have a pant and a hat for my golfer!


Since I went with the gray striped background I kept his shirt basic white and added just a touch of color to his outfit by coloring his socks!! To color everything but his hat and pants I used my Spectrum Noir Markers: BG5, BG6, EB5, EB6, FS4, FS6, FS9, IG1, IG2, JG6.


I kept the panel I stamped and colored the golfer on simple and square! So I did the same for the sentiment, though made it into a rectangle. I added the square and rectangle to the card with foam tape and lastly added a few matching enamel dots!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

We want to celebrate with a southern style challenge! Today we have Renee here with her Texas-inspired creation!

Hello Ai fans!!

I'm so excited to be sharing a brand new release from Art Impressions with you!  They have a new line called TEXAS ZOO CREW.

The image I'm featuring is called ARAMADILLOS SET (sku#4685)
I decided to create a pull tab card.  One where you pull the top of the card up and it reveals the sentiment. 


For my first step I planned out my "gift box" bottom, top and ribbon.  I used glue dots to adhere the ribbon.  Make sure that the box bottom and the top are lined up when you place the ribbon or they won't be centered.



Next I needed to pop up the space behind the card where the tab 
would fit into and slide in and out of smoothly.



Once I had the foam dots in place I adhered them all being careful to line things up and center them.  The dots on top will keep the tab from going inside the package too far.  It will keep the box lid in place on top of the package.






Here's what it looked like all put together but with the tab slid out to read the verse.



It slides in and out so you can personalize it.



Lastly I colored up the image to match the papers I chose.  Aren't they adorable?!  I'm a huge animal lover so I adore this new line.  We don't have armadillos where I live so I was pretty fascinated by them when I saw them live in person in Florida.  I hope you love them too!




Thanks, Renee! What do you say, y'all? Lets see your southern-inspired crafts! Join the fun and add a photo to our InLinkz below!
