Almost Perfect.... December 26, 2002

As of yet, the best card program I have seen. I'll try to touch on features that other reviewers have missed. Setup is easy, however, if you have enough space on your hard drive I would highly recomend selecting a "full install" when given the option. This will eat up over a Gigabyte of drive space but you will avoid the hassle of constantly swithching between two CDs when browsing the 2500+ "pre-made" cards. In fact, you won't need the CDs at all after a full install. Creating custom cards is a little more involved but the possibilities are endless. Card Studio makes it effortless to import your own graphics or even incorporate your own photos into a card project. ONE thing missing that I would like to have is the ability to purchase and add on yearly upgrades. The 2500 included pre-made cards are not bottomless. For instance: when searching for "Christmas", "for Brother" card studio turns up only three cards! Only one of which I felt was appropriate. Therefore, next year I either make a custom card, buy a card, or Purchase "Card Studio 2004". Of course if Hallmark put their entire card archive into Card Studio they would soon be out of business. A yearly upgrade option to registered users of Card Studio would seem to be a fair solution. You guys at Sierra/Hallmark reading this?

Saw this pop up on Amazon a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. I was using the Microsoft Card program and was getting tired of the limited variety of cards available. Obviously, Hallmark knows how to make cards (and with the right words too). I was a little put off initially by the limited customization available (can't get rid of the graphics on the back) but I've adapted and am very comfortable with the program. It does all I need in a card marker and should make my Christmas card project a breeze.
 Disappointed by newer version... February 26, 2003

When I first discovered Hallmark Card Studio (CardStudio2 deluxe)
I was elated to have found a user friendly card program with so many options to personalize for just about any card giving need.
I was so impressed with the program, that as quickly as Card Studio 2003 hit the shelves, I purchased it. I loaded it onto my computer and sat back to be amazed at all the new "stuff" that I believed would have been added. I was so disappointed. For starters, the entire format has been changed. There were fewer cards to pick from and apparently, users of this program have no reason to send a get well card, because that entire catagory doesn't even exist on this program! Basically, this program is a smaller "updated" version of Card Studio Deluxe 2, because there were fewer cards and many repeats from my previous version. My advice...if you have an earlier version of Hallmark Card Studio. Keep it. Do not think UPGRADE. You'll be disappointed, as well.

I want to say that I think Hallmark cards shop is a good program for people who like to make their own cards and do not want a complicated program, but nice variety in the selection and categories for an affordable price. I originally purchased Hallmark Card Studio 2 for my parents who are in their 70's and just learning how to use the computer first time in their life and love making their own cards for all their Senior friends. They have told me frequently they use this program over Create it card program. My father was never into cards and now he really enjoys making cards using his Hallmarks studio 2003. I decided to purchase Hallmarks Card studio 2003 for them and they love the variety of cards in this selection on this program. I highly recommend this for anyone who has parents that don't like anything complicated for them to learn. My mother has trouble with sizing images which she does not have very good mouse control. By using this program she has flexibility of using another arrow feature for sizing her graphics which is only a simple of clicking the up and down arrows and with just one click on the card you select it will zoom the card in nicely for viewing which my mother loves these two features. My father was impressed with this program having much more categories of cards to choose from since they were using Hallmark card studio 2 prior to using this program. The only thing I saw that I did not like is how the program guides you to configuring your printer for a two sided project, which does not give you many choices and my parents HP printer did not completely match the configuration in the program. Otherwise the program is easy to use and very simple for a beginner. I would not recommend this program for someone who likes to do more than selecting a different graphic for their card or make simple changes to the wording and font of the card, which is all this program really does! I was very impressed with the features to sending a card by e-mail was very easy to use. This is a very simple program for someone who does not want all the extra features that they probably will not use. It has another nice feature of making your own labels, stationery, stickers printed envelopes. I hope this review was helpful to others that are looking into a simple card shop or more advance publisher program for card making which would not be for them.
