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!

Top 10 of 2022 by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

It's my turn to share my Top 10 cards of 2022.



Here they are, in no particular order.
To see the original posts and find links to products just click each photo.

I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!

I love making masculine cards and don't find them to be the challenge that a lot of people do.
I think growing up in the country and loving all things country like earth tones, wood and
animals helps with that.



This one was made for my son's birthday.  My husband and I never imposed our musical taste
on our children but I was still lucky enough to have had them both grow up to love the Beatles!
This card is a nod to Yellow Submarine and Octopus's Garden.



Love these Valentine's I made for the kids at school.



Mushrooms are one of my favorite things!  Not far behind bees.  I love to eat
them and think they're so beautiful to look at.



Anyone who has followed me through the years on the Design Team knows that several times
a year I make some fairly elaborate cards.  MANY, MANY sets and lots of time involved.
This Charlotte's Web card was one of those.  It was inspired by the Rat Freebie.  He 
reminded me of Templeton.



Koala's couldn't be cuter!



Oh these Matchbooks!  When I first saw them I'll be honest...Yikes!
So tiny and so much work.
Not true.
The dies make these so easy to assemble and now I can't get enough of them!
I've seen some of the other designers Top 10 already and it seems it's unanimous.
Matchbooks for the win!



This one was my daughter's birthday card this year.  She LOVES succulents and fun pots as 
well as her pink Crocs.  Her birthday was in June and she still has this on display in our kitchen.



Of course I had to have a pick with bees on it.
This Crown set is one of my all time favorites.



Two of the bats on this card actually "FLY!"  Click the photo to see the original post and video.
This is another one of those really elaborate cards I love to make.



I hope some of my cards have inspired you over the past year.
I know I always love your cards and get so many ideas from you as well.
Have a wonderful December and cheers to the new year!

See you in 2023!

I'll have a blue Christmas and Reneé's Top 10 of 2019

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful new Art Impressions set that's a Simon Says Stamp exclusive.



This set is so pretty.

I love non-traditional colored holiday cards so I made my first card with this set in blue.


There are very few things that say Christmas more than a poinsettia.  I will cherish this set for years to come!


And now for my Top Ten of 2019

Dare to Be Fabulous!
There are 2 versions of this but I'm partial to this one that I modeled after my friend Charmaine.
