Hi all,
Well the Chinese New Year celebrations are almost here. For those of you who don’t know, Chinese New Year is taking place on Monday the 23rd of January this year and this year is the year of the dragon – a powerful and lucky symbol, which hopefully means that its going to be a good year for all!
Hi all,
Chinese New Year is approaching and this year is going to be celebrated on the 23rd of January. The coming year is the year of the dragon, which is exciting as Chinese mythology associates dragons with luck, power and strength.
This is a fantastic time to send your loved ones greetings (don’t forget to take a look at our collection of Chinese new year e cards) as well as to get involved with the celebrations, either by visiting a local parade (many cities will have street events planned for this occasion click here for some information on what is happening across the globe here) or by getting into the spirit with their own loved ones.
Happy New Year to all of you! I hope that you all have a healthy and happy 2012 ahead of you!
The festive season is well and truly over. No more mince pies until next year. I hope you all had a terrific time with your loved ones and enjoyed some special times. We had a lovely family Christmas and a nice rest and I am now raring to get going on this years new ecards!
We have lots of cards planned for the next year, starting with a brand new Chinese New Year ecard which I hope you will enjoy.
Hi all,
As promised, here are a few snaps to help you get to know me and the rest of the team better.
Our office
First of all, here are two photographs of the Katies Cards office. The building with the bluey-grey ‘Engravers House’ sign above the window is the our office where all of our ecards are created. The building is a converted butchers shop and is bright and airy. There are 3 companies in the building altogether as well as my ceramics studio which was built at the back of the office.

We have created an ethereal and spiritual Chinese New Year Ecard. Someone mentioned that it looked a bit like an advert for HSBC but I don’t think so. The card we created for Chinese New Year last year was surprisingly popular so we are hoping this one is also received well.
