Product Description:
Designed to meet the needs of today's Christian with spiritual and religious sentiments. In addition to greeting cards, this software includes bookmarks, pocket devotionals, invitations, announcements, newsletters, labels, certificates and programs that you can use for church projects.

Amazon.com Review:
It is almost absurdly easy to create a card within minutes of installing Hallmark Christian Card Studio, for everything from birthdays to weddings. Big, friendly navigation buttons point the way, whether you choose a card to customize, or create one from scratch.

Installation couldn't be smoother. The process is streamlined, but not so much so that you automatically get stuck with a bunch of "trial offers" that are really advertisements for other products; dialog boxes let you choose to accept these or not. It's otherwise a matter of clicking past the legal mumbo jumbo and restarting your computer. You will then be enveloped in the bubbly cartoon world that is this program's interface, with almost comically large buttons to click, pastel backgrounds, and flapping butterflies.

But Christian Card Studio offers more than just a pretty interface. The editing tools seem at first rudimentary, but they offer power and flexibility. Resize, rotate, and crop images. Edit text and alter its color, font, and size. Those who have used image editing software of any kind will experience no difficulty whatsoever, and even beginners will soon be slinging text and images with the best of them. The best way to learn is to dive right in and start experimenting, as the "tutorial" is pretty skimpy and unclear.

A few drawbacks: The Undo function goes back only one step. The super-friendly interface can be a bit much, especially when you want to perform a function that cannot obviously be done with those colorful, oversized buttons; on some screens, for example, there is no obvious way to go back to the previous screen. It is hard to take seriously the claim that there are "200,000 ways to create a card," unless you include every conceivable combination of text and image. Also, the Christian content is not all that it could be: the art gallery features many irrelevant categories such as Sea Mammals and Zebras. Finally, though the e-card function works well, be forewarned that the first thing your recipient will see is not an expression of your affection, but a technical explanation of how to view the card ("You can view your greeting by selecting either Run from the Start Menu or File/Run from the Program Manager...").

All in all, this program delivers a fun and satisfying experience. Though economy may not be a compelling reason to print your own cards--factor in the cost of card stock and ink for your printer and the price of printing a card is about the same as buying one--the chance to design exactly the card you want, with the aid of hundreds of thoughtfully written greetings, make this a wonderful tool for the home print artist. --David Stoesz

- Sad to see this product go...
I've been using Hallmark Christian Card Studio for five years - all on a couple of Windows XP computers. I have not tried this program on Vista. It is an older software and as such, it is a little clutsy; meaning, it looks like older software and moves through screens like older software. But it works and prints great Christian Greeting Cards. We've moved to Mac computers and this will not run on a Mac - there isn't much to offer for Mac's and there is NO Christian card software for Mac.

- Request for distribution
There are many sites dedicated to creating cards, but not much about the business market and distribution. I am designing compassion cards with scripture & children's photographs. Cards will be available for order by April. My portfolio can be seen @ www.wisephotography.com

- Print your own Hallmark cards
The best thing about this software is that it includes hundreds of ready-made Hallmark cards for you to print. Of course you can customize them, but you are starting with a professionally designed card, which makes the process much different than starting from a blank page. Have you ever been wandering through the card shop and wanted to take the picture from one card and the greeting from another? Or take a card addressed "to my brother" and change it "to my friend/sister/dad/Joe/Mary/whoever"? ... Read More

- DISAPOINTING SOFTWARE
THIS PROGRAM GIVES YOU A LOT OF GREAT GRAPHICS. I WAS REALLY DISAPOINTED IN THE MESSAGES INCLUDED WITH THE PROGRAM. I HAVE AMERICAN GREETINGS PLATINUM 6 AND IT HAS MORE SPIRITUAL MESSAGES THAN THIS ONE DOES. IT JUST DID NOT GIVE ME WHAT I NEEDED TO DO THE JOB I HAVE TO DO.
