The 'Perfect' idea for a Father's Day Ecard

We have just added a new Fathers Day E card to Katie's Cards website. The concept was to have it styled like a 1950's advert, but with our 'Dad' having some subtle human traits that slightly contradict the text.

There are six other E cards for Fathers Day available, so hopefully you will find one that suits. We have also created a version of this design to work as a Birthday Ecard.

Have a great Easter Weekend

I am sure everyone is looking forward to the long weekend, its the perfect time to be spending time with family or friends to celebrating Easter. I have packed some bags and that includes the chocolate eggs for my kids as we are going away for a few days holiday. This year has been quite busy so far, as we have been working away creating new ecards for katiescards.com and I do feel that I deserve a little rest. I am really looking forward to enjoying some long country walks, fun Easter activities, tasty pub lunches and relaxing evenings around the fire reading a good book and spending time with my loved ones.

Do you have any interesting plans for the spring Easter break? I would be interested to know what you are up to, and how you choose to celebrate Easter, however unusual or unique. Be it a quite weekend at home or a trip away somewhere nice, I hope you have a lovely time. Whatever you are up to, please remember to send one of our Easter E cards, we have nine different styles so hopefully you will find something that suits, and have a great time.

Send Easter E-cards this Spring

The main events through the year that seem to be most popular with E cards senders have traditionally been Christmas, Birthdays and Mother's Day. Another annual event that appears to have become overlooked is the Easter holiday, but it is actually the perfect occasion to send a wonderful Easter Ecard. At this time of year when we think about and spend time with family and friends, and all those who are close to us, especially the small ones in our lives, who look forward to receiving tasty chocolate Easter eggs.

Easter Bunnies Ecard

Sending a fun and warming Easter E-greeting out to everyone we know is a great way of letting them know you are thinking about them, without the trouble and expense of buying, writing and posting lots of printed cards. With a few swift clicks of your mouse, and a couple of well chosen typed sentiments, and voila! Easter wishes sent out to all.

At Katie's Cards we have nine wonderful  animated Easter E cards for you to send.

Companies shift to sending Business Ecards

At Katie's Cards, apart from the personal animated e card memberships, we also offer a service to companies and organizations. For the past three years we have created hundreds of Company Christmas Ecards, and every year there seems to be more and more demand. They are a very cost effective and carbon neutral way of sending out Seasonal Greetings, especially if their mailing list is hundreds or thousands of contacts.

In 2010 we launched a new section of the website, where companies have the opportunity to select a static or animated ecard, upload their logo, message, URL and mailing list and for a relatively low cost, send their personalized Ecard out through the website.



In 2011 we plan to extend the service beyond just Xmas Ecards, rolling it out to meet business needs throughout the year, why not send a business ecard for the launch of a new product or service, to notify clients of a move to a new location or to reward and motivate staff. There are a myriad of events and occasions where a corporate ecard is the perfect solution.

Look out for more information on the blog soon.

New Maple Leaf Canada Day Ecard

Canada Day is a new category for Katie's Cards and we have just added our first Canada Day E card which features animated patterns made up from a leaf design.

The animation is accompanied by the official Canadian National Anthem and the maple leaves dance and swirl around in time. We hope that this card is popular on Canada's most special of days.

Dancing Painted Eggs and Rabbits, must be the perfect Easter Ecard?

Have you ever wondered why rabbits and eggs are seen together on Easter E cards?

Apparently, an Anglo-Saxon legend tells how the Saxon goddess Eostre found a wounded bird in the woods and transformed it into a hare so that it could survive the Winter. Strangely the hare found it could lay eggs, so it decorated them every Spring and left them as offering to the goddess.

Dancing Easter Rabbits Ecard

At Katie's Cards we just love dancing decorated Easter eggs and fluffy bunnies, so we could not resist filling our new Easter E-card with them. Inspired by the fabulous films of Busby Berkeley and influenced by the crazy antics of Austin Powers with it's cool 1960s sounding music track.

We hope you enjoy sending it to all the young ones in your family or one of the other eight ecards.
