Social Media Collaborations

I love doing social media collabs, but since they are time-consuming (and usually come during my busiest time of year!) I am only able to accept a select number of collaborations each year. If you are interested in partnering to create a customized paper snowflake for your brand, please read all of the information below and then send me a message with more information on what you have in mind!

Types of collabs:

  • Video: I design and cut a custom paper snowflake for your brand, and take a time-lapse video of me cutting. I can create a design based off your team’s suggestions or can draw something up myself, whatever works best for you. You will receive the time-lapse video and a number of still photos that you can use on your social media channels, in email newsletters, or however you’d like!

  • Patterns: I create a custom pattern for your brand that I will send to you as a PDF, which you can put on your website and distribute to your own networks. I will draw the pattern myself based off ideas from your team. I am able to incorporate your brand into the PDF template (e.g. use your logo instead of the Paper Snowflake Art logo), but I require a line of credit on all patterns, as they are my copyrighted work.

  • SVG: I can create SVG files that you can use on a laser cutter, 3D printer, or Cricut/Silhouette machine to make all kinds of snowflake items including ornaments, holiday party decorations, window clings, vinyl transfers… whatever you can dream up! The SVG files are also easy to use in graphic design projects, Canva templates, and more.

Planning info:

  • Timeframe: All collab requests must be submitted at least 6 weeks in advance of when you need the final deliverables. I do not accept any requests between Thanksgiving and Christmas, as that is my busiest time of year! If you would like to have a social media post for the holiday season (as most brands do!) please submit your request before mid-November. The earlier the better, as my schedule fills up quickly!

  • Cost: Collabs are billed on an hourly basis. I will provide an estimate, and require a 25% deposit before I add your project to my schedule.

  • Design suggestions: The easiest designs to cut (and recognize!) are things that are symmetrical, so I can cut them along a fold. When I cut a snowflake, I am cutting through 12 layers of paper at one time, and most designs are about 0.5” to 1” in width. Designs also need to be recognizable in black & white, since I am using positive/negative space to cut the subject matter. Simple, symmetrical, easy-to-recognize designs are best, so that your audience can quickly recognize the design!

  • Who owns the work? All video, photo, PDF and SVG files are owned by the client, but the PDF pattern template will remain my copyright.
