We have uploaded a new animated Birthday Ecard to the site today called Birthday Biplane.
Birthday Biplane Ecard
An old biplane writes a Birthday message in the sky. This e card is also available in other categories including Thank You Ecards, Good Luck ecards and Best Wishes ecards.
It makes me smile to think that during my infant years, when my mother’s mothering was it its most intense, I was at my most oblivious. But a few years on, as a little girl testing my independence, I hope I made up for it with handmade gifts and wobbly dishes of sugary treats.

The night before, my father might come home with a bunch of flowers elaborately hidden beneath his coat, which he then smuggled into a vase. It was my cue to set to work in my bedroom, surrounded by card, ribbon and glue, waiting for inspiration to strike and my creation to take shape.
Easter weekend is a great time for family and friends to get together. A long weekend just as the weather is beginning to change, flowers are in bloom and the smell of spring is in the air. As you may have guessed, I’m quite a fan of the Easter break!
We like to try and capture this mood in the Easter e cards and feel we have had some success with our previous efforts. What next? Well, a new card is in the pipeline. We feel it’s important to add to the Easter ecard selection as they have proved to be very popular.
Just a quick update about the new e card events that are coming up in the near future.
At present I am sorry to say that we are struggling to come up with an original idea for a new St Patrick’s Day Ecards which falls on the 17th March, as it is hard to think of a scenario that does not involve leprechauns! I have considered featuring Saint Patrick himself ridding Ireland of snakes and other pests, but it feels quite an involved topic and not very Ecard friendly. Perhaps something featuring a harp, any suggestions are very welcome.
When I was nine years old my mother decided to put on a bumper Easter lunch, it would be the first gathering of the whole clan- our family of five and both sets of grandparents, for quite a while.
Easter Morning E card
Easter week was a perfect spring postcard. The blossoms were budding on the branches in our garden by the sea and a little snail of crocuses lined the path down to the Summerhouse. I was volunteered to pick some daises to sprinkle in painted eggcups, my reluctant brothers to fetch daffodils for the vases. On Easter Saturday we all pitched in to lay a special table with yellow candles and napkins and tiny fluffy chicks perched on the table centerpiece. But on the side plates, where usually an Easter egg wrapped in a colourful ribbon would sit, there was nothing!
Valentine’s Day is the one day of the year for you to let your heart take control of your head and do something romantic! Why not celebrate the most powerful emotion on earth, love and make your sweetheart feel extra special. Valentine’s Day provides a magnificent opportunity to express your affection for that special someone in your life.

We have just added a new Chinese New Year E card to the site, featuring a creature called a Nien!. This is our first New year card and it required a bit of research of the event and on discovering a legend about the origin of Chinese New Year we had our inspiration.
Mythical creature the Nien
February is a traditionally a cold month, but Valentines day is on the horizon once more, promising to warm things up for you and the special person in your life. It’s not always easy to come up with an original or unique way to say ‘I love you’, but at Katies Cards we think we’ve created some ideas that will help you convey just how important that special person is to you.
Valentine Flowers Ecard
When people come across the idea of e-cards for the first time, it often takes a little time for them to get used to the idea. But as our lives seem to get busier and busier, it seems more difficult to send cards the traditional way; you have to go to the card shop, buy stamps and then try and remember where the nearest post box is.
