Customer Reviews:

Frustrating, condescending and inflexible [Posted on 2005-12-21]
Not only does this product insist on printing a cheesy label on the back of every card to assure people that, yes indeed, it's a homemade computer card, but it hijacks your computer and printer when it's time to print. It forces--and I mean forces--you to endure a paper-wasting printer process to determine the best way to print your card. It's only mildly annoying the first time. It's infuriating subsequent times, when there is no way to tell it that you have already printed with this program on this printer and you don't want to kill more trees. Hallmark can and should do better.

fun and versatile [Posted on 2007-06-12]
Personally I think it is nice to make homemade cards for friends and family, with the price of cards today this is a plus. Also I can personalize the card and change it to what I want to say. I am having alot of fun with this program. It has a built in address book and calendar and a reminder so I will never forget another birthday or whatever. Then there is the card just for fun because I am thinking of someone. I have not had any of the problems that I read in the other review and I really like this product for the price. I am totally satisfied.

Neat Little Program! [Posted on 2007-12-11]
I was looking for an easy-to-use software program to design my own note and greeting cards, using my own photos. For 10 bucks, I figured I didn't have much to lose, so I bought it - and have used it steadily ever since. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but I can import my own photos (processed and framed in my photo-editing software), size them to fit, add my own sentiment (or use one of theirs), and even print my own card logo on the back! I've used more expansive (read: expensive) programs, but they took up a lot of space on my computer and had features I didn't need or want. If you want to use your own artwork or photos for cards, invitations, brochures. . .this is it! I do wish the Curved Text feature was a bit more sophisticated, but that's minor. The choice of fonts is excellent, colors can be changed - and it's all very simple. For those looking for a straightforward program to design cards, I recommend this. For the price, it's a real bargain.
