 Much better than going to the card store September 5, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This product is incredibly easy to use. There are so many cards and projects to choose from and they are all organized by category. I like being able to personalize the back of the card where it says "created just for you by me". I don't understand why people want to cover up the Hallmark symbol on the back of the card. That's one of the things I like most about this product, especially since you can print them on Hallmark paper and send them in a Hallmark envelope. They look like you bought the cards at the store (but they are personalized). This was a great purchase.
 worst yet July 31, 2003
Hadn't updated my greeting card software in a few years so was looking forward to this updated Hallmark version. As an owner of previous Hallmark, CreataCard, Print Shop and Printmaster software, I expected this newest version to be as good or maybe even incrementally better. It wasn't. Rather, just the opposite.Very limited card selection sentiments (i.e. no risque humor), pale and washed out graphics, no business card functionality, awkward maneuvering and limited editing flexibility during creation are some of the many reasons for rating this product poor. It was returned to the manufacturer for a full refund. Of all my previous print/card software products and versions, Hallmark was always my least favorite but I still kept them. Not this time. I'm about to try Nova Technology's Card Factory 2. Checked some reviews--looked decent. Will keep you posted.
 Good Program made worse... June 24, 2003
Upgraded from the earlier version of Hallmark Card Studio. Noticed right away that the nice graphic telling you how to flip the paper over to make a 2-sided card was much smaller and much more difficult to see how I should flip the paper to the correct orientation, but I didn't let that deter me.Graphics are nice, and you get a reasonable selection, but once you narrow your search down, it isn't that impressive of a selection anymore, and really didn't add that many more cards from the last version. You will eventually run into problems printing particular cards for which Sierra has posted fixes. However... After some update (need to keep Windows updated after all), I can no longer print any cards. Sierra takes forever to fix their bugs or to help you out. Might be tempted to blame the Windows update...but if that were true, all my programs would be broken, not just this one. Truth be told, Sierra doesn't do a particularly good job of programming or support...

Was so glad to get an updated version, of what I have in Studio 3. Now, I use both. 2003 has some nice features that I didn't have. I work a lot with Art Studio and love to create my own cards. There's so much to choose from. The text is easier to work with in Studio 3, but I'm learning the new version. I've gotten so many compliments on cards that I've created, from scratch. The only cards I buy in the store are Christmas. It means so much more to personalize my own. Thanks, Hallmark!
