At Design Is Yummy we understand the importance of a well earned high-five. This holiday season we decided to share this value with our clients and friends through a direct mail campaign.

Our holiday cards were a little less holiday and a little more awesome. The “You’re Awesome Kit” is a bilingual kit meant to remind recipients that we think they’re awesome 365 days a year.

The card features an extended hand welcoming that solid high-five. We printed the 5.75″ x 9.25″ cards on 16pt matt Carolina stock, with a beautiful gold foil hot stamp. We’ve been wanting to have a large foil finish on a Design is Yummy related project for some time now and we finally found the right one to go big on. We absolutely love the results!

A kit is not complete without a set of instructions. We included a double sided black and white sheet that explains how to hang, use, and not use the piece. We also enclosed removable adhesive foam mounts to hang the poster (4 double sided stickers).

The kraft paper envelopes lend to the “do-it-yourself kit” feel. The envelopes are digitally printed with the text “Not your typical HOLIDAY CARD”. Hot pink mailing address stickers were created in order to promote quick brand recognition. Finally, every address was hand lettered because, well, we take our time for the people we care about.

Dear clients, you are important and we think you are awesome so when nobody is there to receive your hand, Design is Yummy’s gotcha 😉

Colouring books for adults have been super popular this past year. This idea has been to the next level thanks to Windsor Vineyards’ color-it-yourself wine labels. The winery created a line of black and white line-art labels to satisfy the arts-and-crafts drinking enthusiast in all of us. When ordering one of their 50 wine options, you are able to customize its label by choosing from a repertoire of mandala patterns. You also have the option to add messages; a feature that provides you with flexible text editing options to change the font, color, size, and even the spacing. Love it! Wine not get creative?
