What to Look for in Greeting Card Software.


What can you do with Greeting Card Software?

Greeting card software can create custom cards in less time than it would take you to find the greeting card section in your local gift shop. Cards deliver a smile—use your imagination, write your own words and even add your own images, to design the perfect card for the occasion.

Creating your own greeting cards is a fun, unique way to let others know you care. Here are just a few of the kind of cards you can create:

Birthday Cards—Photos of a past birthday party make festive birthday card covers. Include private jokes and memories in the message for a birthday card that will be 'a keeper.'

Electronic Greeting Cards—You can create custom electronic greeting cards with sound clips that can be emailed to anyone. Take advantage of video snippets or even morphing to make your greeting cards one-of-a-kind.

Wedding Cards—A cameo of the happy couple as children is certain to bring a smile. Personalize your best wishes for a wedding card that will be more memorable than the gift.

Valentine Cards—Reminisce your first kiss, or show a photo of your favorite romantic locale and make your Valentine greeting card an invitation to go there.

Birth Announcements—Go beyond the traditional "facial baby picture" glued inside a birth announcement; feature a photo of your baby's hand in yours, or a side view of your baby asleep. Make the birth announcement into a picture postcard for easy mailing.

Anniversary Cards—Homegrown poetry is certain to earn a chuckle. Weave memories of the couple into a few lines of rhyme in your greeting card, then pick a photo to match.

Holiday Cards—From Christmas to Groundhog Day, you can fill your holiday greeting cards with personality and humor. Use a candid photo of a family member sneaking a peek at presents instead of a stuffy, formal photo on your next Christmas card.

With greeting card software, you can build a simple card in seconds or spend more time creating keepsakes that your family and friends will treasure for years to come. No more stale holiday cards made of cardstock only—your greeting cards can be made with heart.

What to Look for in Greeting Card Software

Exceptional Greeting Card software has the ability to create any kind of card you can dream up, without any hang-ups.

  • Ease of Use – Making greeting cards—especially electronic greeting cards—involves several elements: selecting card theme and template, importing and editing photos or images, composing or adapting a text message, and, for electronic greeting cards—adding sound, animation, or video.

    Greeting card creation software tools should be easily accessible in an intuitive setting. It should offer "drag and drop" simplicity so that novices can make professional-looking cards.

  • Feature Set – The feature set is your toolbox and resource kit for greeting card making. Tools in top greeting card programs include photo editing and formatting tools, and greeting card resources include card ideas, styles, themes, templates, clipart selections, photos and fonts. Look for greeting card software that has all the features you need to create the types of greeting cards you want.
  • Ease of Installation and Setup – If the greeting card software is not easy to install and set up, you may not want to bother using it. We prefer greeting card software with one-step setup.
  • Help Documentation – Software help files should be easy to find, use, and understand. Types of help include: a greeting card help index, project help tutorials and online FAQs and idea galleries.
With greeting card software, you'll soon be an old pro at designing clever, custom cards in less time than it takes to browse boring stock cards on supermarket shelves. No matter what the occasion, greeting card software is the perfect fit.
