Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2019 - Old Version

I purchased this so I would have it for the length of a new pc. I put it in DVD slot; it never downloaded properly but completely crashed my pc. I had to spend a couple of hours to reset components from a factory reset. Be careful out there - I do not recommend this. :(

Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2019 does include many very nice premade cards. It is made by Nova Development who also makes Print Artist, and most likely, other card programs. Nova development tried to make it consumer friendly but, in doing so, they removed simplicity. For example, I tried to use a template for a label to make a gift certificate because it was the right size. It would not let me print it unless I added a name and address from my address book. (I do not use and address book in my computer.) To complete my project, I had to copy everything and paste it in MS Word.

Product easy to learn and use. Like that it had disk plug and play. Used mainly for greeting cards and envelope.

This is the third greeting card software program that I have used. In each case I have had to buy a new one because Windows updated and my program was no longer compatible. I never bought this companys software as I suspected the clipart would not be my style, and so far that seems true, but I think I can work with it. This program doesnt do some of the things my former program would, but it does do some things that the old one wouldnt. It appears that other companies arent bothering to update for Windows 10 -- yet anyway. Since Hallmark is a well known company, maybe they will see me through future Windows updates. I intentionally bought the version that could be downloaded on my computer, rather than used via the internet, and Im glad I was able to figure out which version that was, as there are so many versions to choose among that it was a challenge.

This is the fourth edition I have bought and enjoy each one. Sometimes when looking for a particular theme it is hard to find but overall very good program.

Easy to use and makes great cards.

I want to do individual cards, not order a set. I seems that when I see something I would like, it requires me to purchase a box of cards. This is not what I want.

Best programme ever

I gave this product to my wife for Christmas and we were delayed installing. When we finally installed the product, it took a long time and did not give any indication of a completed install i.e. no link, icon or install in programs. Our PC then went into a repeated restart loop. Major recovery. I cant say this program was the cause but all was fine before the unusual install completion.

Have always used this program for years This is about the fourth one i have had
