September is here and kids are back at school.




We have survived yet another six weeks of summer holidays and its time to regain some sort of normality. Dare I say it, time to get ready for the next hurdle - Christmas - Ahhhh!!

We offer personalised Christmas cards. Last year we printed more family photo Christmas cards than most years. I think that trend of personal Christmas cards will carry on into this year. So get your family photo ready and send us your order now as our prices work on the more time we have the cheaper it is to print your cards.

It is really easy to order your Christmas cards with us all you need to do is go to our “how to order page” on our website and follow the order on line instructions. We are happy for you to email us your photos. We can also scan in your photographs or transparencies as we always have done in the past.

We print small print runs of 500, suitable for your Christmas cards and offer a text deletion on the inside of your card. By removing your Christmas greeting after so many you can use the blank cards for any occasion.

500 6 x 4 greetings cards with your own picture on will cost £125.00 + postage & packing and + vat.
500 7 x 5 greetings cards with you own picture on will cost £205.00 + postage & packing and + vat.
500 6 x 6 greetings cards with your own picture on will cost £205.00 + postage & packing +vat.
500 8 x 6 greetings cards with your own picture on will cost £250.00 + postage & packing + vat.

We also supply envelopes and offer many discounts for multiple orders

By taking advantage of our ‘reduced rate’ which takes a little longer to produce, major discounts are available - so plan ahead and save yourself lots of money.

Cards, cards, and lots more greetings cards!




Two Bad Mice Publishers, who annually print over two million greetings cards, have just commissioned a new card to print on.

This 280gsm single sided white card is manufactured in Scotland from Forestry Stewardship Council pulps. Two Bad Mice are delighted with the new card which has to be printed with a yellow tint on both sides to match their existing portfolio of over 500 cards.The new card is printing beautifully giving extra vibrancy to the blues and greens of their images. Why change card? Because the previous suppliers of the ivory card withdrew production and therefore availability without notice. This European company simply withdrew their product after 20 years of production, without any warning “C’est la vie” in todays economic climate!

Two Bad Mice is a small family publishing company run by Julian and Mami Williams, from their base in South Wales. Their extensive range of cards by selected contemporary artists is available both nationally and internationally as well as directly from their website www.twobadmice.com
Recently Two Bad Mice have diversified their product range to include china mugs featuring Anita Jeram's images, wrapping paper and Giclée prints.

Julian and Mami also host a summer concert programme in their garden in S.Wales and smaller intimate musical recitals in their home.
