New Holiday Sleeves at Artisan Coffee

What a dream collaboration

Some of you remember the Starbucks cup I lettered and shared on Instagram. Because of your help as followers I had such great feedback on that post. Thank you all for your continued support and showing your excitement for my work! It really means the world to me.

Well, I got nothing from Starbucks (a girl can try, right?!), however I did get an email from a friend who owns the amazing Artisan Coffee in Ellet, Ohio. Tim and Emily are amazing humans who have built this shop from the ground up. Literally, they finished the floors and poured the concrete countertops themselves. When I got an email from them, I thought, “this is even better than I imagined!” What a great collaboration.

Artisan was hoping to create some holiday sleeves… when they came across my post. The style and collaboration made sense. We talked and exchanged emails to iron out the vision and they gave me the freedom to create. They decided on 5 different themes: Joy, Peace, Wonder, Hope, and Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins… so delightful! While I was creating and designing I caught myself saying (out loud), multiple times, “This is so fun! What a great project!” And then I would realize my husband was also in the room and I was talking out loud to myself.

Turns out I wasn’t wrong. It was SO fun, and a great project to work on with Artisan. They are on the new cups now if you order a drink, so RUN to go get one! I can’t wait to go get 5 cups myself so I can collect all the themes! If you are local and get one, please tag me @encourageco so I can see your cozy drink!

Thankful for the opportunity to work with such great people and see this collaboration come to life.
