Following the successful launch of Toasted Crumpet Mini Moments earlier this year, the publisher has introduced a Christmas edition, including 38 designs of which seven are from its award-winning Explore & Treasure collection with the National Trust. The mini styling and luxe hot-foiled debossed text add a contemporary twist to some most loved designs from across the full card range. Being cello-free means that the cards are 100% recyclable in paper recycling and any foil coating on the card is so thin that it dissipates during the repulping process.
