Yoojoo Catalogue 4

Greetings from Yoojoo!

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a best selling author and illustrator of TEFL books was in search of a new challenge, and a little independent greeting card company, creating paper products and keepsake gifts for book (& guitar) lovers, was born.

Hello, I’m Julie Ashworth; ex-teacher, book lover, designer/maker.

I lived abroad for many years teaching English as a Foreign Language. This led to an exciting and successful career as a writer and illustrator of English Language Teaching materials which are used worldwide. I came back to the UK in 2001 and now live and work in West Yorkshire.

In search of a new challenge when my family flew the nest, I dragged myself (kicking and screaming) into the 21st century by learning computing skills and Yoojoo Bookmark Gift Cards was born.

I believe that we are fortunate to live in an age of choice and have the benefit of enjoying literature in a variety of formats. Yoojoo cards and gifts are for the times when you want the pleasure of touching and feeling a book; the sound of the page turning; the smell of paper and print. When you want to curl up in an armchair and get lost in a good story, then slip a Yoojoo bookmark on the page to keep your place while you go get a drink to savour with the next chapter.

All Yoojoo cards transform, in one way or another, into a useful gift.

FRONT BACK

GLASSINE BELLY BANDS

Judged on a combination of originality, commercial viability & wow factor

“I thought the winning cards were highly original and offer added value of a gift to give longevity to the cards. They are truly fun cards.”

Ged Mace, GCA President : BCTF judge

“Clever use of recycled products. Colourful, with cards for men and children. Julie has great ideas for her cards that have a twist with each turning into something else, a bookmark, plectrum etc, and the use of recycled book pages for cards and small origami gift boxes is ingenious”

Caron Naylor, The Gift House at Blacker Hall Farm Shop : BCTF judge

“New cards have arrived! How gorgeous are thesegreeting cards from yoojoo cards?! Not only are they brilliantly book themed, each card has a detachable element that works as a bookmark for your latest read! Fun AND functional, now that’s what we call good design!”
