Hi all,
I came across this old birthday ecard and thought I would share it with you!
I can remember when we made this, I thought it was a fun idea – imagine a real-life machine like that at home making birthday cakes for you! It reminds me of the elaborate machines that are used by Wallace to get out of bed, make tea and toast etc. in Wallace and Gromit!
I hope you enjoy it. Please share your ideas for new birthday ecards with me – I would love to hear what you would like to see more of!
Hi all,
Light hearted fun always makes people feel cheerful around any occasion, let alone their birthday. That is why we like to make a wide selection of birthday ecards of all different styles, including cheerful and fun styles for you to choose from. A great way to have some fun is to take a look at this fun website which calculates the number 1 song on the day that you were born. My song was Wonderland by The Shadows, you can find out yours by clicking here to visit the website.
Hello all,
I hope you are all settling into the New Year well.
I have a lot of birthdays to send gifts and ecards for in January, so I have been looking around for fun ideas and came across this fantastic page which I thought you might like. Its a write-up of all things relating to dogs and birthdays! The main thrust of the article is about dog themed birthday cakes but when you get down to the bottom of the article there are some great useful links to other dog-themed merchandise and ideas.
Hi all,
Today is Prince Charles’ 63rd birthday and I couldn’t let it go by without wishing him a very happy birthday!
He has contributed a huge amount to our society today, including the help that is offered by the Princes Trust. Set up in 1976, it is now the UK’s leading youth charity and is dedicated to helping the lives of disadvantaged young people in the UK.
Hi all,
I may be wrong, but I believe that us 40+’s seem much younger and more active than older generations were when they’d hit their 40’s. My friends and I have talked about it on a few occasions, usually at a birthday party (when one of us has hit a milestone age) that we remember our parents in their 40’s seeming a lot older than we are now. Maybe we’re more active nowadays? Or we have more choices available to us such as traveling and hobbies which weren’t as easy an option way back when. Or maybe its just because we’re all living longer?
Hi all,
I hope you all had a nice weekend and are feeling ready for the week ahead!
My weekend was filled with nice homely duties of tidying, organising and baking (though I have to admit that Molly did most of the baking).
For some reason I woke up on Saturday feeling like we had accumulated too much clutter, and so I dedicated my day to getting rid of the old, ugly and un-used in an attempt to make our house a clean and tidy one! The first thing on the agenda was sorting the huge pile of trainers which had somehow grown at the back door, which undoubtedly built up from our regular walks with Plum.
Hi all,
What a strange weeks weather we have had here! Some days beautifully sunny and others (like yesterday) rainy and awful. I really hope that the weather this weekend as I am hoping to have another BBQ!
We don’t have much planned this weekend which is great as it means Molly and I will do some baking together. She is much better than me and makes the most delicious chocolate chip cookies! She got the recipe from Nigella’s book and I managed to find it for you online here incase you want to try it. If you do, please let me know what you think!
Hi all,
Just a quick one to let you know that we have added a new Labor Day ecard as well as versions for wishing someone Get Well Soon, Happy Birthday, Well Done! and Good Job!
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.

Hi all,
Thank goodness that this weekend brought some sunshine and hopefully it is going to remain sunny all week!
I had a wonderful weekend, I hope you did too. My niece’s birthday party was lovely and she loved her birthday gift which I was really pleased about. As the weather was so nice we decided to have a BBQ with some friends on Saturday evening and spent Sunday walking the Plum in the countryside which reminded me that we have some really nice summery birthday e cards in the collection that you can use to wish someone happy birthday. My favourite summer e cards are the ‘Terrace’ (click here to preview) and the ‘Dandelion’ (click here to preview).
