MerryChristmas

I always struggle at this time of year making time between Christmas shopping, end of year get-together sand making card to blog, so my apologies for my tardiness. to prove I have Been upto festive cardmaking, here is one of my projects below...

CanDo Coffee ?What If! Company Christmas Card

I was asked to design the company Christmas card for our London office this year. It obviously had to be festive but incorporating a twist that allowed us down an avenue to promote our foundation partner, which this year was CanDo Coffee. CanDo Coffee are a fantastic social enterprise that creates opportunities for people who would normally find it hard to gain employment. Every year ?What If! Choose a charitable organisation to donate our time and skills toward so that we can give back to the community in an affective way rather than just donating a sum of money. we feel this not only helps them gain more but also helps us gain insight and help companies who may not otherwise have an opportunity to work along side us.

Many ideas were thought up and left behind, but the final idea which kept our card light, friendly and festive turned out to be a real crowd pleaser I'm happy to say. And here it is...

Playing with coffee stains to gain uniquely sourced material.

Sketching out ideas...

Inking them in...

Getting lovely people to write in them and spread the CanDo word as well as Christmas joy!
