Buying holiday cards can be expensive. One way to save money would be to make them yourself. I don’t really have the time to make cards myself. I have two kids, babies as a matt

er-of-fact. I’m up to my ears in poo poo some days. I’m sure all moms feel this way.Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2009 has been released and is ready to save us money and time. I was given a copy to review. This is a great software package for making cards. They also have a scrapbook making studio.
Features listed from their website:
- Photo Cards and Photo Calendars
- Animated User Interface
- 3D Cards and Projects.
- Easy to Use!
- A tutorial gets you started fast.
- 9,000+ Hallmark Greeting Cards and customizable projects
- 16,000+ Spectacular Graphics
- Search projects by design theme or occasion.
- Complete Hallmark sentiment library
It is so easy to use this software. I installed it, the installation took a while, but look what all had to be installed. I didn’t even need the tutorial because it was so easy to use. I found being able to search the projects and graphics by theme or occasion to save me even more time. I picked a Thanksgiving Holiday theme and was able to change everything I wanted to change. I was able to easily change the sizes of the graphics and tilt them in any direction I wanted to. I chose a heart and I rotated and was able to put a picture of my kids in it. Simple.
I have Photoshop, and I find it difficult to learn how to use. I have used it in the past because that is what we have.
Pick your project, design it and print it.

I Love hallmark. I use Hallmarks’ Smilebox.
The site is basic and simple, and they tell you where you can purchase it.
I like that it is easy to create one of a kind cards
custom calendars, photo frames, postcards, stationery, invitations, scrapbooks, certificates
I love all of the personalization that you can do!
The ruby slippers.
I can tell you this, being in a secret sister club, whether at church or other can get a little costly buying cards. Not only that they don’t always say what you’d really like them to say. I like the fact that with this program, you can click on the text to change it to what you want to say, for example a Bible Verse. I also like that there are Theme groupings because it really speeds up finding what you need when you are rushed for time, or things haven’t gone the way you planned that day. I think this program could easily save me $120+ a year in cards and I don’t even have a large family. It would also save me about $120 a year in Church member card needs (Pastor Appreciation, Get Well, Thank You, Birthday, Secret Sister Cards and Christmas Cards).
I love the idea of making photo calendars! I used to have hallmark software… a LONG time ago and loved it!

I love the fact that Hallmark is a trusted industry name and they have a wide variety of products. The website has user forums & tech support that are informative and easy to use. We have 5 crafty kids and this win would keep their creative juices flowing (and busy!)Thanks for the entry!

I’d love to win this for my daughter. She’s very artistic and creative, and her husband just bought her a new computer and printer, and I think she’d love this. YAY Hallmark!!
I’d love this. I make cards all the time but the old fashioned way. This looks so much easier and I can whip up a few in less time but still be giving a “homemade” card!
I would love this Having 19 grandkids I make or buy cards all the time I could individulize them and also make up cards for their sports games and accomplishments This sounds so simple that even I could master it Hope I win
I like how easy it is to navigate their website.

One thing I like about the Hallmark site is the offer user forums. I noticed there are answers there for problems anyone may be having. Also, some quick solutions. Plus I loved the blue background on the opening page!
Hallmark is a favorite of mine.. It is always easy to find a great card that fits the person!
I got hooked with Three EASY Steps! I like EASY!

I love that it is (as they say at least) a simple three step process to create your own cards.
It looks very easy to use. Hallmark makes quality products. I also like their Scrapbook Studio
