Greeting Card Studio is a pretty simplistic program that doesn’t overwhelm you with a lot of overblown bells and whistles. If you just want a basic greeting card software package with a nice selection of templates, clip art and fonts this is the program for you.
Ease of Use:
Greeting Card Studio is fairly easy to use after a bit of trial-and-error practice. It’s not as intuitive as our “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” winner PrintMaster Platinum but it’s not hard to figure out. The developer’s web site has a nicely-developed FAQ’s page to answer most questions.
The highlights of Greeting Card Studio that set it apart from the other packages include a free trial download of the program that allows you to try it out for 7 days, the ability to import your own clip art and the extensive export formats available. The software offers a respectable number of card templates and a very sizeable amount of clip art images along with a reasonable variety of special occasion and religious themes. It only has 25 fonts and some of those are remarkably similar. A bit more typeface variety would certainly increase the value of this program.
Some of the drawbacks of the program are limited photo editing and manipulation tools. Working with text is particularly tiresome due to the awkward implementation of the tools. You can’t place text on a curve or add any special effects and there is no spell checker so be careful about your spelling.
Installation is a breeze because the product is a download which once completed is automatically installed.
The developers offer several ways to get in touch with them in case of questions or suggestions. They have an online email submission form for feedback, a good FAQ’s page along with providing multiple email addresses, phone numbers and their mailing address.
Overall, Greeting Card Studio is a decent, straightforward software package for creating traditional style cards. If you’re looking for programs with a bit more meat to them be sure to check out our “TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award” winner PrintMaster Platinum and “TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award” winner The Print Shop Deluxe.
