Christmas by Colour Take Two

Last year I got a real kick out of the Christmas By Colour poster project put together by the creative folks over at Raw Design Studio.

I loved not only the idea behind the project but the end result and without any hesitation clicked the “Buy” button. The poster quickly found a home in my color studio and while I had planned on wrapping a gift for someone special in the bonus wrapping paper they sent I never could bring myself to use it.  Well, maybe this year it will cover a specials gift…or maybe not.

Anyway the Christmas by Colour project is back again this year with a new twist…sets of Christmas cards.

Hooray, twelve in each set so  I won’t be torn between keeping or sending this year since I can keep some and send some.  Hmm, of course then I wouldn’t have every color so I might just have the same dilemma.

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I am a bit obsessed when it comes to cool stuff related to color.  But then again you already pointed that out to me when I ordered the subscription to 500 colors and I’m okay with that but I digress.

Luckily for me the sets of Christmas by Colour cards are priced so reasonably that I can buy two sets of each assortment.  Yep, one to keep and one to give away. Now that’s a solution that not only makes me happy but I bet will make those on my Christmas card list delighted, too!

Now the only dilemma will be in deciding who gets which color.  Of course the fun color names may help me decide.

I think ‘Yellow Snow’ would make my 10 year old nephew laugh, ‘Bank Balance’ could be a wry reminder for my son in college and “Granny’s Whiskers” could go to my mom–Not!!   At least not if I want to have her ever speak to me again but you get the idea.

You can see the sets of cards and all of the color names here.  I understand there are a few of last year’s posters available, too so go there now and place your order for both so they arrive in time for Christmas.

And if you plan to send me one of the cards I think “Mulled wine” or “Walking in the Air” would be great choices.
