Really Fab Cards

Moolin Rouge Makes A Fantastic Card!

2008-11-05T05:52:00.000-08:00

We have printed a range of new Caroline Shotton cards including a fabulous new 'Mooster' card. It is not yet in print, so we are especially pleased to have it in card as its a NEW image not yet seen by most of Caroline's many fans. It is quite simply: FANTASTIC.

Paying homage to the fabulous painting of the Moulin Rouge by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, the image itself, great colours used as well as the humourous title, makes Moolin Rouge a fantastic card and is a must have for any Caroline Shotton fan.

It's a Really Fab Cards favourite.

Mr Benn: An Introduction

2007-11-07T15:38:00.000-08:00

Mr Benn

Mr Benn is one of our most loved children's TV characters. Whilst adults of a certain age (30 years plus) will know him very well, the theme of a 'magical adventure' is a universal one so he is just as popular with a whole new generation of fans.

Really Fab Cards are delighted to add Mr Benn to our ever expanding stable of branded cards. He compliments our 'nostalgia' collection very well: Muppets, Roobarb and Custard and Mr Men ranges.

Scrawl More: Our Second Favourite Card in the Range
We have two fab new ranges recently added to our ever expanding stable:
Scrawl and Scrawl More.
They are 'any occasion' cards that each feature a quote. What makes them unique is that it does not matter who said them per se, they are just simply very funny. There are so many great cards to choose from these ranges (we struggled!) that we will be stocking quite a few.
If you have a particular favorite that we do not have, then do let us know.

Dear ReallyFabCards

Just a quick e-mail to say that my order of 2 Caroline Shotton cards arrived today (Friday 3rd Aug) (which I'm really pleased with by the way) and I'd just like to tell you that I'm really impressed with your service - as I only placed my order on Tuesday and we're in the middle of industrial action by Royal Mail.
Many thanks

The Illustrators Range

2007-07-26T16:58:00.000-07:00

We are always pleased to offer cards that are exclusive to us as on line and so we are delighted to offer you cards from a fantastic range called the 'The Illustrators'.
The range features an historical and diverse collection of artworks from some of the most significant 20th century illustrators including Ronald Searle, John Harrold and EH Shepard.
The cards come in two sizes and comprise a high quality uncoated board and an envelope. Aside from a great illustration on the cover, what makes them unique is a paper wrap around which details a biographical write-up of each illustrator on the reverse. They therefore make ideal gifts as well as great cards.
Our particular favorite is 'Roobarb Smiling'. If you were a child in the '80s (and '70s) you will fondly remember this cult BBC1 TV show (no CBEEBIES then!)
Each cartoon, written by Grange Calveley and animated by Bob Godfrey, was about 5 minutes long. Thirty episodes were made, and were first shown in 1974.
The theme is that of the loving rivalry between Roobarb the dog and Custard the cat from next door.
Roobarb is a green dog (however, many contend that he is yellow, though this has now been discredited by Grange Calveley - even our images make him look yellower than he is - sorry!) and Custard is a pink cat. Roobarb is always up to some misadventure or other, which he approaches with unbounded enthusiasm. Custard is cynical, and sets out to sabotage Roobarb's fun. Whoever gets the last word tends to vary. Other characters in the series are The Birds, who watch the antics of the other two from the safety of a nearby tree, often making snide remarks, and siding with whoever is winning.
The series features a deliberately rough style, drawn using marker pens and a very sketchy drawing technique, so that the pictures are constantly jiggling around. This effect, known to animators as "boiling", gives a great energetic character to the show, and was a contrast to the slick smooth colouring of the imported Hanna-Barbera shows that were being widely shown. The series was voiced by actor Richard Briers and the famous theme tune was written by Johnny Hawksworth.
The series was an enormous success, greatly loved by children and adults alike, and winning numerous awards. It is now viewed as "must watch" cult TV. Contrary to popular belief, the show was not called Roobarb and Custard.
We don't care though and have included both names in the range title!
We are also selling the note cards (of which there are eight in four different designs).
Judging by sales to date, we feel sure these will be a firm favorite.
