Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2019 - Old Version

Great graphics and features! The option to make and send animated greetings is awesome. Would definitely recommend this program.

This is the third greeting card software program that I have used. In each case I have had to buy a new one because Windows updated and my program was no longer compatible. I never bought this companys software as I suspected the clipart would not be my style, and so far that seems true, but I think I can work with it. This program doesnt do some of the things my former program would, but it does do some things that the old one wouldnt. It appears that other companies arent bothering to update for Windows 10 -- yet anyway. Since Hallmark is a well known company, maybe they will see me through future Windows updates. I intentionally bought the version that could be downloaded on my computer, rather than used via the internet, and Im glad I was able to figure out which version that was, as there are so many versions to choose among that it was a challenge.

Not that user friendly and not the clip art I was hoping for.

This makes cards easily. The Artist Studio is my favorite part. I can put anything I want on the back without the logo.

I bought this primarily to make greeting cards, including some that become a base for scrapbook additions. There does not seem to be a way to measure anything or set the size of anything in the program; e.g. you cant size something to a specific # of issues, or see how anything lines up for measured spacing on a card. Options on what to make are not very flexible. BEWARE - THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT. They publish some limited hours of availability, but they dont actually answer the phone. Online help is not really very helpful.

No matter what I try, along with suggestions from support, the inside text will not print out centered. It prints the inside text that should be on the inner right to the center of the cardstock, and the text / picture for the left inner to the far left on the edge of the card. The card choices are wonderful, the graphics very pretty. I find it very easy to use. Ive had Print Shop Pro in the past and loved it, but got this one as my PSP would not work on my new Win 10 PC, and reviews for the newest versions were poor on it. I love making cards for my family and they enjoy them so much. Im really at a loss on this problem.

Love designing my own cards. This is amazing!! So cool!! Love it!!

It ia hard to add text with the same text type and color.

Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2019 does include many very nice premade cards. It is made by Nova Development who also makes Print Artist, and most likely, other card programs. Nova development tried to make it consumer friendly but, in doing so, they removed simplicity. For example, I tried to use a template for a label to make a gift certificate because it was the right size. It would not let me print it unless I added a name and address from my address book. (I do not use and address book in my computer.) To complete my project, I had to copy everything and paste it in MS Word.
