As we count down to the end of 2025 and ushering in the New Year, I’m just popping in to share my Instagram Top 9 of 2025 as decided by user likes.
I always find this so fascinating, as I have no idea what will have appealed to folks out there, compared to my own personal favourites from the past 12 months.
But here they are:
I’ve linked up the projects here:
- In at the top, we have my rainbow of Christmas trees from The Stamp Market.
- Closely followed by the first of many not-so-tiny house cards, this one featuring the wonderful Spellbinders City Holiday dies by Yana Smakula released this year.
- Taking bronze place is another house, this time a birthday-themed outing for the Our House Bundle from Concord & 9th.
- Concord & 9th scores again with the tiny houses from the Home for the Holidays set combined with that fab frame from The Greetery.
- In the middle, it’s another debut house product for 2025, the amazing Market Place collection from The Greetery.
- And making its top 2025 appearance, we have the GOAT of tiny houses, the Over the Rooftop set from Concord & 9th.
- Opening the last line, it’s one of my personal favourites of the year, the ruby anniversary card made with The Greetery and a wonderful stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.
- And making its second appearance in the Top 9 rankings this year, is a festive take on the Our House Bundle from Concord & 9th. Bravo that set!
- And finally, another 2025 favourite of mine, this wintry scene featuring supplies from Waffle Flower.
As you can see, there are a lot of festive projects featured, which is lovely and makes my Festive Fridays all the more worthwhile. And amazingly, a lot of those cards listed are from the hotter summer months, so I wasn’t alone in appreciating the festive season through the year.
If you’re curious about my own favourites, well, you can scroll through the posts tagged as My Favourite Makes.
If you prefer a more visual look, I’ve created a Favourite Makes gallery, with the newest projects listed at the bottom. They all link to the relevant projects (obviously some predate my blog relocation back in September), which I love, and I hope you enjoy a good browse!
2025 turned out to be rather productive, especially with Christmas cards.
My plans for 2026 are pretty much the same on that front. Festive Fridays will continue, heaven help me it’s the only way to not be overwhelmed come November, but you may see some recycling of ideas. Nothing wrong with that, I love to revisit sets and designs that are so fun to make.
And speaking of revisiting… well, I have a great many supplies to work with, a lot of them now retired. I hope to feature them more for all sorts of occasions.
As for what needs more work, it’s making cards for specific occasions and sending them out in time! I hope I get a better handle on that in 2026.
Here’s to my 2026 gallery filling up with inspiration and ideas soon!
So, until next year, happy crafting!
