 Great Product - Best Version Yet! January 8, 2009
I've been buying Hallmark Card Studio software every year, and this by far is the best verion yet. It was simple to download - I had absolutely no problems. I don't give rave reviews unless it's merited and this product definitely deserves the kudos. The new features are terrific. I, too, wish the clip art featured more photos, but I can't complain. The cards and projects are beautiful. I use the software to create all my cards, and my friends and family look forward to getting them. Buy the product without fear and ENJOY IT!
 Good But Not Terrific December 27, 2008

Hallmark is a very good card program, but not much has improved year to year if you purchase it every year as I do. I think its easy to work with and has beautiful cards. I just wish it had more graphics and more cards added each year. But I would highly reccomend this program if you like doing your own cards.
Hallmark Card Studio 2009 Deluxe - Worth the Upgrade December 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We previously had the 2004 Deluxe version and have been really happy with it. We decided to upgrade to the new 2009 Deluxe version and have been really happy with it to date. Install went just fine. Took about 10 minutes. Made sure all programs were closed and followed the steps. We have Vista Ultimate & had no challenges installing it. It was very easy to purchase from Amazon and will take advantage of the $10 rebate as well (can you tell I am a finance guy?). It is great making our own cards with Hallmark Card Studio 2009. Our relatives & friends love it when we can make personal cards for them. It is easy to add pictures & other clip art to the cards to make them truely unique. Hope this update is helpful.
 Nice & Simple with enough features December 26, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Over the years I bought Broderbund's Print Shop and PrintMaster Deluxe software for most of my cards & graphics projects, plus other brands for variety, but since I had to get new software again for the new computer with Windows Vista I decided to try Hallmark for a change.
The software installed easily, and I like that you can install all the graphics too instead of having to use the disc each time!
I like the Hallmark program and graphics & designs very much. The software is easy to use intuitively, and has some nice features. I like many of the pre-designed cards as they are; usually with other card programs I end up making many changes to the pre-designed cards and projects (especially the text which is often too maudlin or mushy), and it's very time-consuming. This Hallmark deluxe program is great when you want a decent card fairly quickly. The DVD was in a box with a manual.
Great Product! I May Never Buy Another Greeting Card Again! December 16, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I got the "bright" idea that I would make my own Christmas cards. It wasn't a matter of cost. It was just that now that I'm retired, I thought I could burn-up some creative energy.
I had used a couple of programs in the past for an occasional card, but I'd never undertaken a project quite this ambitious, or so I thought. I tried the programs I had on hand, but they didn't seem to want to work with my new computer with Vista, even the Microsoft programs. So, I thought I'd try Hallmark Card Studio.
Unlike some other reviewers, I shut-down my firewall and turned-off my User Account Controls (Vista does not like this, but what I've found lately is that with the computers reacting so fast, and being so protective, when a program, especially one that hadn't ever been installed on a particular computer, sends an installation instruction to the computer, the computer blocks it, often times before your little "window" pops-up asking you for permission to have the program access your computer's system. Since the window is up, and you haven't clicked "OK" in that split second, the computer stops the installation process right there.
Other times, the "window" asking you for permission is hidden behind another window. So, if you're installing this product, or even another, on Vista, or even XP, take down your firewall (on Vista, you can allot for a certain length of time that the firewall is down, in case you forget about bringing it back-up) and turn-off your User Account Controls.
That said, I found the "2009" version of Hallmark Card Studio an extensive program that put my Mac software and previous versions of card software to shame.
It is a little tricky on replacing the text in the cards, and it had an issue understanding that my printers duplex (print on both sides of a page without you having to physically turn the page over), but the results were phenomenal. I would really like to give the program four and one-half stars, but there's no way to do that.
One aspect that I really liked about Hallmark was that I could easily insert a picture in the cards. Not all card programs allow you to do that easily.
With regards to printing, I had picked-up some Hallmark Half-Fold Matte blank greeting card paper Hallmark Blank Greeting Cards Half-fold Matte Premium 20 Count, too. As I started printing the cards, I used first some Avery card stock I had, then used the Hallmark paper. The difference was unbelievable. The colors on the Hallmark paper were vivid! I'm posting examples of the print quality in a review of the Hallmark paper. You may want to check that out.
