What's that noise? It's your birthday...

Birthdays are all about having fun, a bit of a knees-up and a sing-song with friends, family - and the birthday cards.  The cards?  Has Kate gone mad? Cards can't sing, can they?  You bet they can and beautifully too. Let's meet Team-Noisy. 

Known in the music industry as "Mr Y-fronts" his operatic style is second to none.  So impressed were the critics that this musical pair were nominated for a TMF music award. Mr Y-Fronts told Kate:

"It's all happened very quickly.  One minute I was stuffed in the drawer with other pants and vests, and the next I had my own room with a flat screen telly, mini-bar and everything..." 

Click & listen to Mr. Y-Fronts sing

Popular with mums and cake fans all over the World this singing cupcake not only has a cheery country style, but plays banjo to a reasonable standard too.  Not just a pretty face, Kylie-Jo writes all her own material, looks fabulous and tastes yummy too.  

Kate asked Kylie-Jo what was the  highlight of your terrific year on the Country circuit.

"I can't believe I'm working on a new album with Kenny Rogers and will be touring the US in the spring, but my proudest moment?  It has to be Mary Berry mistaking me for a real cupcake and having to be physically restrained from tucking in by Paul Hollywood."

Click & make Kylie-Jo Cupcake sing her little heart out...

Surprise... Here's your gift, but sorry there's no present.  That's the gist of the song, but listen for yourself, it's quite hurtful the way this card rubs in the no gift thing. These cards are best sellers at Kate's, and it's true they're as good as a gift, but, to be honest, this ones down right insulting.   

Kate asked Mr Present how he got his wicked sense of humour?

"I've got a tremendous inferiority complex. I guess I've always wanted to be valued for what I am. I know I'm just a card, but I'm not just any old card, I'm more than that - I'm a damn good gift."

Click me and listen to the ranting Mr. Present...

After a spell as an extra in Get The Gringo starring Mel Gibson, Terry the Taco is currently working on a musical with friend and co-star Spag Bololni.  It's a big step from being the voice and face of novelty birthday cards to singing and dancing in a musical, so when did this dishy Mexican realise he wanted to sing?

"My Mother was a singer, she sang while she cooked and encouraged us to sing along with her.  As children growing up in Acapulco we communicated almost exclusively through song, which makes singing in a musical very easy for me. My big break came when Inventions, the novelty greeting card people, asked me to be the voice of one of their brilliant noisy cards.  Of course, I said yes and the rest is history..." 

Hungry? Click to tuck into a birthday Taco-song...

Beefy is not as daft as he looks. He knows there's no Ham in a Hamburger, but he has the wisdom to know that tradition means that no one can question the meaty contents of a burger anymore. Who'd have thought that this burger not only contains 100% beef, but a song too.

From very humble origins "Beefy" started out as one of the photographs in one of America's popular fast-food restaurants.  After thirty years tempting diners from Beijing to Bristol he realised that the image he was presenting to the World was no longer quite as appetising as the food on the plate and Beefy, like many other celebrities in the twilight of their careers, turned to voice-overs.  

So what does the future have in store for "Beefy"?

"Who knows, I'm forty six and my modelling career is over, but I have found that my voice sells, and particularly Noisy Cards. This week my agent had a call from Simon Cowell who heard the song in the card on YouTube and wanted to meet me. I'm auditioning for X-factor in the autumn."

He knows there's no ham in a hamburger, but boy can this guy sing...

So now you've met five of the Noisy Team and I think you'll agree they're a fun-packed bunch?  It's been so much fun showing you a bit more about the Noisy Card characters. If you enjoyed meeting the team you can keep in touch on Facebook & Twitter where you'll be able to find all about "Burnie" the Barbecue, Squave Lacie La Ve , Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheese and a whole lot more...

Love Kate's | A card for every occasion...

Kate's giving away a £5 voucher to celebrate National Thinking of You Week.

We’re so excited about National Thinking of You Week. The special event is being run by the Greeting Card Association to “highlight the power of the card” and has asked Kate of Love Kate's Cards & Gifts, to spread the word and think of something fun to kick-off the week. We think it's a great idea. 

‘When I heard about the GCA’s new special week I wanted to get involved straight away. We’ve got over 50,000 customers at Kate’s and I get some really lovely comments telling me how much giving cards means to them. The event’s a chance to show how important getting a card is to people.’

One customer told Kate after receiving her Luxury Pop-up card: 

'The card arrived on time. Was well packed. It turned out to be a real success with my Mum who has kept the card. Great alternative to a bouquet of flowers, Mum thought it really unusual and spent a long time admiring it. Very pleased with the purchases, would buy this product again and would be happy to recommend both the Pop-up card and Kate's to other people that are looking for an unusual card for any special occasion...'

Cards mean a lot to Kate's customers. Lesley lives abroad and is one of Kate's regulars:

'My cards build a bridge over which my personal thoughts can travel. Receiving cards, for me, is like receiving waves of love. As for sending particular cards I like  the large Pop-up cards, but I also like sending cards and gifts when  the people I love least expect it. I just like letting them know I am thinking of them all the time and not only on their birthdays, or Christmas. As for your personal service, it's excellent. I live abroad so sometimes if it is getting close to a special occasion and I don't have time to post a card from here, I know I can purchase a card or gift from Kates Cards and she'll write my special message for me so that my card, or gift to my loved ones will always arrive on time...' 

Well, as our customers already know, Kate loves a good giveaway so she’s decided to make it really easy for you to take part and celebrate National Thinking of You Week... 

‘I want our customers to take part in the event so I’m saying that if you order seven cards, that’s one for every day of Thinking of You Week, I’ll send you a voucher to spend at Love Kate’s next time,' says Kate Malt founder of Love Kate's.

To make it even easier to take part Kate's going pick out her favourite cards and feature them in “Kate’s Special” on the front page every day.

This is how it works:

1. Place your order for seven cards 

2. We’ll send you a £5 voucher to spend next time

3. Send your cards and make someone happy...

Kate sums it up: ‘Cards are all about showing someone you care, a nice way to kiss and make up, let someone know you’re thinking about them, or just to say hello... At Love Kate’s we’ve got a card for every occasion to help people say that something special."

National Thinking of You Week is 22nd to 28th September...

MISSING | Boofle's Bestest Friend Puddy Cat

Loveable knitted doggy Boofle has been Puddy Cats bestest friend since he was a puppy and he's worried she’s lost, or even stolen.  Can you help Kate find Puddy Cat?

Have you seen this cat: Puddy Cat

Boofle has issued a heartfelt appeal for information after his treasured cat went missing. 

Puddy Cat, a six-year-old black grey and white coated Tabby, went missing while out on trip to the park with Boofle on Friday. Boofle is desperate for her safe return.

In support of poor Boofle, Love Kate’s, one of the webs largest online shops, is also asking for information about what might have happened to Puddy Cat and is offering a reward for anyone has seen her.

Speaking to Kate on Skype earlier today, Boofle said: "This is a terrible time for me. My tummy was churning constantly last night. Please help me find my Puddy Cat".

Boofle and Puddy Cat were having a little run in Dorchester Park in Dorset and thought it would be fun to have a game of Hide and Seek. Boofle counted to fifty, opened his eyes and searched high and low for Puddy Cat. That was the last time he saw her.

Boofle told Kate: “Normally when we play Hide and Seek I can find Puddy Cat in about five minutes. Ten minutes went buy and I started to get worried. I looked all over the park for hours. Lots of people were helping me down by the river, but there was no sign of her”.

A spokesman at Love Kate’s said: "Puddy Cat maybe just lost and has been taken in by someone for safe-keeping, but it is essential that she is reunited with Boofle as soon as possible. We are keeping in contact with Boofle at this difficult time and would like to thank everyone for their on-going support. We have thousands of Boofle fans shopping with Love Kate’s and we are very grateful to everyone who has volunteered to help us.”

WAYS TO HELP PUDDY CAT

If you have any information, including sightings pf Puddy Cat, please get in touch on Facebook, Twitter, or leave your comments and pictures of where you've seen Boofle's bestest friend here on the Blog...
