Dandelion Chocolate is a small-batch bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker offering classes, factory tours, cafès and retail shops.
I had the pleasure of working with Dandelion Chocolate on two items for their Holiday 2018 collection, their Advent Calendar and their internal Holiday Card. See the Advent Calendar Design Here.
This folded holiday card was meant to harmonize with the Advent Calendar for one cohesive holiday aesthetic: lush greens with bright golds that celebrates craft and the attention-to-detail that Dandelion Chocolate puts into all of its confections.
