Be happy is a Christmas card project initiated by Hody from Cokoon. to give out encouragement to everyone, while he is not drinking, singing nor eating (because there is no time for that).

2009 has been a very tough year for many, including to Hody
. Many people may appreciate what they have accomplished throughout the year, for the things they love and passionate about.
This card has been sent to selected friends of Hody and Cokoon by snail mail. There are chances that the card may be lost or delayed (as part of the experience of using stamps).
The card design was originally a sculptural art concept. It was inspired by different people and different objects at different time, including Courtney Kim's wedding invitation design for Narinda Reeders, Troy Innocent's Iconica, paper boxes and punctuation in English.
Printed with Hody's ink-jet printer and cut with his scalpel. He can't afford to get a Swiss-made square/triangle hole punch, but he has tried. Each card takes about 20 minutes to produce, later he manages to shorten the time to 7 minutes by using hole punch and lino cut knife. He wishes the cards will reach their destinations alright and the recipients will love his work.
The cards are pre-scored and ready for folding! They also come with Hody's note and drawings too! (I will show them later... stay tune...)

You can fold it and make it into the little sculpture and place it on your desk, and you can also get some blu-tack, and "tack" it on the wall. As demonstrated here:
You can download this card here and print it out. I have cleared out all the messages on the card, so you can write your own!
All cards are made with the bottom card boards of delivery boxes. And thanks Michael Cebon for giving me those card boards.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! (lame....)
Hody
