Card and gift specialist Hallmark is selling a limited edition pack of Little Mix
charity Christmas cards, available** **in selected Hallmark stores across the UK
and at [Hallmark.co.uk](http://www.hallmark.co.uk/) . The packs cost £1.99, from
which 50p will be donated to ITV’s Text Santa appeal.

## Sketch Santa

The cards were designed for Daybreak’s national art competition Sketch Santa, which
ran earlier this year on the ITV breakfast show. The cards feature shots of four-
strong pop group Little Mix traditional Christmas scenes including carol singing,
unwrapping presents on Christmas morning, decorating a Christmas tree, and hanging
up stockings by the fireplace.

A sixth design features a print of the design by 16 year-old Hayley Anderson from
Tyne and Wear who won the Sketch Santa competition.

Tamsyn Johnston Hughes, Sketch Santa judge and PR and Social Media Manager for Hallmark,
said:

> “This is the third year that we’ve worked with Daybreak to give children the opportunity
> to bring their Christmas card designs to life. It’s such a privilege to be involved
> in the Sketch Santa campaign and to be supporting six new Text Santa charities
> for 2013 as a result”.

Last year’s Text Santa campaign raised over £5.5 million for six UK charities, including
Age UK, Anthony Nolan, Carers UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Together for Short Lives
and Whizz-Kidz.
