Cath Tate Cards

What a lovely morning spent with Amber-Rose Smith yesterday! We thought it was about time that we got some professional branding photos done - turns out there’s only so many iPhone photos on a trade show stand that we can take 📸✨🪴💌 Amber, thank you for making us all feel so comfortable, we can’t wait to share the final images! (good luck sorting through 1000+ pics 🤣) #smallbusiness #brandingphotographer #cathtate #branding #smallbiz #smallbizlife #photoshoot #bts

Oh, what a night! Rewind to Thursday night, when we drank, ate, laughed and caught up with lots of cardie friends - and our Lost Plots range took home the Best Contemporary Trend award at The Henries! 🏆️🤩✨️⁠ ⁠ Couldn't be happier, thanks again to the judges, the whole Max Publishing team, all our lovely stockists for championing the range, Lisa for her beautiful designs and being such a treat to work with, and all the retailers who voted for us.⁠ #thehenries2024 #henriesawards #greetingcards

Woo hoo! We’re a Faire Top Shop! Apparently only 10% of brands get a Top Shop badge, and it means we offer quality products and exceptional customer service! (true) Thanks to our fab office team and lovely warehouse team for all your hard work - and of course to all our beloved Faire customers who help keep our Faire store up in the ranks! #topshopfaire #faire #greetingcards #customerservice #greatteamwork #fairewholesale #smallbusiness

happy first day of october!⁠ ⁠ #autumn #halloween #spookyseason #greetingcards #design

🏛️🕊️⚔️ One week countdown until this year's Henries Awards! ⚔️🕊️🏛️⁠ ⁠ Here's some ancient Rome inspo to get us all in the mood (absolutely no idea how that last one got in there...)⁠ ⁠ And can we get a moment of appreciation for the, frankly, EPIC invitations! Designed by @emmalawrencedesigns, made by @papermirchi for @progressivegreetings.⁠ ⁠ #henries2024 #henriesawards #greetingcards #ancientrome #romanempire #industryevent

@southbankcentre is the perfect place to spend a dreary afternoon in London. Just make sure you don't miss a visit to the gift shop! 🥰⁠ ⁠ #london #greetingcards #giftshop

Christmas card season is fast approaching - and we’re joining the The UK Greeting Card Association team & our fabulous greeting card community to encourage everyone to send their Xmas cards early this year - with a second class stamp! Unfortunately, the price of first class stamps is increasing again this winter, making it less and less inviting for the public to send festive cards. However, at just 85p you can send a card anywhere in the UK, if you use a second class stamp - just make sure you get them in the post nice and early! #christmascards #cardmitment #sendacarddeliverasmile #greetingcards #cathtate

Introducing: your favourite cards of the summer! ⁠ ⁠ It's always a treat to see which new designs become a hit, and which classic designs stand the test of time. This summer, our independent shops have been LOVING the Modern Icons range: Taylor Swift, The Beatles and Ab Fab took the top 3 spots of summer bestsellers! ⁠ ⁠ All designed by the absolutely fabulous @wotmalike ⁠ ⁠ #greetingcards #bestsellers #summer #cathtate #taylorswift #beatles #abfab #modernicons #shopsmall #sendacarddeliverasmile

As another #ThinkingOfYouWeek has come to an end, we're reflecting on how special it is to keep hold of the greeting cards that you never want to throw away! 💕⁠ ⁠ I'm an avid collector of sentimental trinkets, so keeping greeting cards from loved ones is something I've done for years. Being able to read through old messages, remember lost family members' handwriting & treasure lovely memories is truly priceless - and just one of the beautiful reasons to keep the art of sending handwritten cards alive.⁠ ⁠ #sendacarddeliverasmile @thinkingofyouweek_uk #greetingcards #cardstokeep

We made it to the finals of #TheHenries! Over the moon to see that our Lost Plots, Birthday Blocks and Lucy Loves Literature ranges have all made it to the finals in the 2024 Henries. We're nominated in the Best Children's Range, Best Contemporary Trend Range and Best Contemporary Words & Sentiments Range!⁠ ⁠ Thank you SO much to all the lovely retailers who made up the judging panel - thank you for voting for our designs, it means so much to be recognised by so many of you in the industry. Huge congrats to our fellow finalists (we're in good company!) and of course big love to all the shortlisted publishers who didn't quite make it to the finals this year. ⁠ ⁠ 🤩⁠🤩⁠🤩⁠ ⁠ Progressive Greetings Live The UK Greeting Card Association ⁠ #greetingcards #henries #henriesawards2024 #cathtate ⁠
