Christmas card cool

Super-thin twinkly fairies reach to put the finishing touches on the tree, tall red-robed Father Christmases stride across festive landscapes and knock-kneed snowmen deliver boxes of flowers… welcome to the gorgeous, quirky world of Paper D‘Art Christmas cards.

Artist Reuben McHugh has managed to give us a welcome change from the usual corny offerings with his fresh, edgy – and beautifully produced – Christmas cards that rethink the traditional imagery of the season with fabulous results. Cards are from £3.95 for a pack of five, with a 40p donation going to Red Cross or NSPCC.

Stockists include Harrods, or order online at www.paper-dart.com
