Our ecard of the day comes from our new ‘Wise Words’ collection. This card features a wonderful quote from Gandhi:
Wise Words Ecard

We thought it would be helpful to do a blog post which explains exactly what we use Twitter for. Twitter can seem a little confusing but it can be a wonderful, snappy way of keeping up-to-date with events, current affairs and things that interest you. It also has practical benefits – you can often tweet restaurants to book a table, for example.
Here at Katie’s Cards we use it to make announcements about new ecards or changes to the website and to follow people who have similar interests to us: arts, crafts and environmental issues, for example. You don’t have to become an avid tweeter if you sign up, you can just use it to follow people that interest you. You can find Katie’s Cards here. Read more...

Today is National Tulip Day! I love tulips – they’re so bright and bold and come in so many different colours and shapes. Did you know that there are over 3,000 different types?! This image of tulip fields in the Netherlands is so inspiring, just look at those colours!
Since it’s Tulip Day, we thought it fitting that our ‘ecard of the day’ includes some of these fabulous flowers. Click on the image above to be taken to our website where you can watch the floral letters bloom and grow into a happy birthday message…

Though here in the United Kingdom (where Katie’s Cards is based) we celebrated Mother’s Day back in March, today is Mother’s Day in the United States and in many other countries around the world. It’s a wonderful time to show your Mum just how much you appreciate her.

I hope you all have a lovely day!

This Sunday, Mother’s Day will not only be celebrated in the United States but also in many other countries around the world – from Brazil to the Bahamas, from Hong Kong to Switzerland, and from Tonga to Malaysia.
Gardener Ecard
The origins of Mother’s Day differ from country to country. In Bolivia, for example, the day commemorates a specific battle during the Bolivian War of Independence during which many female fighters were killed. In Israel, it honours Henrietta Szold who rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. In France, Mother’s Day celebrations stem from the early 1900s when the government was concerned with falling birth rates and so it praised the mothers of large families. Read more...

This month is flower month and what better excuse to get out in the garden and get your hands dirty. Though you need to watch out for late frosts, this is the time of the year when the air becomes filled with the smell of freshly cut grass and your garden bursts into life. The Royal Horticultural Society have a wealth of tips about what to plant and when which you can view here on their website.
Gardening Ecard
Additionally, we’ve put together a Pinterest board dedicated to beautiful flowers and gardening ideas. You can find the board here (and you don’t have to be a Pinterest member to view it!).

Have you ever wondered how we make our ecards? Well, we’re about to give you a behind the scenes sneak peek and we’ll use our new ‘belated birthday’ ecard (which is still being worked on) as an example.
Firstly, one of our illustrators starts to sketch some of the characters, you can see that the lighter pencil marks show how the character will move when its animated…
Then the characters get brought to life a little more….
