Beautiful hand-made gifts and knick-knacks that you might like…

Friday, July 29th, 2011

Hi all,

This week as well as working hard and spending time with the kids, I have been searching around for a gift for my niece’s 2nd birthday. I have been trying desperately not to go down the usual route and get her something that lots of other people will buy her and I was really struggling for new ideas so I decided to do a bit of hunting around on the internet. After what seemed liked an age, I eventually came across an adorable website selling some beautiful crafted cards, mugs, textiles, knitted toys and other interesting knick-knacks and I’m pleased to say I found something perfect for her!

Sending e cards saves the environment and your pennies!

Hi all,

I was doing a bit of rooting around on the internet this week and I managed to find some statistics that I thought you would find interesting…

  1. The average person sends approximately 30 cards a year
  2. Including postage, the majority of people spend around £88 a year on sending cards to loved ones
  3. Over 312,000 trees are cut down each year for greetings cards for the UK, USA and Australasia

The Perfect Dad, ‘NEW’ Fathers Day E card.

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Just uploaded our latest creation for Father’s Day, it is still quite a few weeks away (actually this year Father’s Day is on Sunday June 19th)  but we have completed this one nice and early. The idea for this Fathers Day Ecard came from 1950 advertisements, we thought it would be good to create a slight twist on the concept of a perfect Dad, where he still seems to have some very human attributes.

What are you up to this Easter Weekend?

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

We are all looking forward to the long weekend, spending a bit of time with family and friends and celebrating Easter. I have already packed all of the chocolate eggs for the kids as we are going away for a few days holiday. This year has been very busy so far working on the new e cards for katiescards.com and I do feel that I need a little break. So I am really looking forward to enjoying long country walks, Easter activities, pub lunches and evenings around the fire reading a good book and spending time with my loved ones.

Ecards Are Perfect For Easter

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

The big events through the year that have become most popular with Ecards senders have typically been Christmas, Birthdays and Valentines Day. One annual event that seems to have become overlooked is Easter, but it is fact the perfect occasion to send an Easter E card. It is a time of year where we think about and spend time with family and friends, and all those close to us, especially the small ones in our lives who look forward to receiving yummy chocolate Easter eggs.

An Anglo-Saxon legend – Easter bunny and eggs?

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Have you ever wondered why the Easter bunny and eggs are seen together on Easter Ecards?

Well, an Anglo-Saxon legend tells how the Saxon goddess Eostre found a wounded bird and transformed it into a hare, so that it could survive the Winter. The hare found it could lay eggs, so it decorated these each Spring and left them as offering to the goddess.

We have created a new e card for you this Easter, a fun e card which the little ones will love! No egg laying hares I’m afraid, just a troop of dancing rabbits and eggs. Take a peek at our Easter e cards and there are nine different designs and styles of cards so you are sure to find something to suit all your family and friends.
