I have used Card Studio for years and remains pretty much the same with the exception of a few new cards each year.  Has saved me time and money hunting for a special card for someone.  This years software does take some time to load so be patient.  Depends on the age, speed, of your computer.  Loads lots of files and graphics, took my computer 45 mins. to load and 15 mins. to install a patch or "bug fix" for this version.  In past years I believe it installed much faster than an hour.  Look at your drive lights on your computer and they will stay pretty much solid for an hour loading files.

The card is not complete, for example, I did not find the timer command detailed in the card.

I have used and enjoyed this product for more than 6 years.  I enhance the cards with glitter, my own sayings, buttons, bows, ribbons and much more.  It was easy to install and user friendly.  I keep hoping they will upgrade with fresh ideas.  I have had other products but I keep this one and refer, often, to the cards in my gallery.

I absolutely LOVE this program and totally agree with the lady that found it to be one of the best programs that she owns.  I have had no problems with this program locking up or anything.  I made our Christmas cards on it this past year and got lots of compliments.  I also made scrapbooks as gifts for Christmas and got many compliments on my work.
This is a wonderful program and I am so happy that I purchased it!!!

These cards are very good and work well with Hallmark's program.  Between graduations, birthdays, and babies we are money ahead and it is nice to shop at home.

How convenient to be able to pick the amount, pick the design and be able to print the card!  Excellent idea!

I had Hallmark Greetings Workshop v 2.0  It has flexibility I really and would liked to be able to have it on my pc. I could create collages that were really appreciated. I have not seen the  same in this release. It may be there but  have  not seen it yet. The print selections all are for folding cards. I need to use it more to make a good evaluation.

I enjoy making my own cards so I use almost all of the art work in the card program I have installed at the time.
I ordered the updated 2009 deluxe version but I am finding that there is not much new stuff in the 2009 upgrade.  It seems like the contents of the 2009 card studio consists of everything from the past 3 years plus a little new stuff for 2009.  I doubt if I will buy the 2010 version.

I bought these to use with my Hallmark card making program on my computer.  They ran through my HP printer fine and the card turned out great.

There was no problem with installation of the software and the patch from Hallmark did download okay; however, I returned this to Amazon after finding that there were gaps in the pre-installed greetings in many of the cards I tried.  Another fault was with text formatting.  When attempting to change the colors of text, I found that only the text outlines colors could be changed, not the inside colors... also whenever making text bold, the text expanded so much that the result was a large blob on the page.  I have had two previous versions of Hallmark Card Studio, and found that the 2015 version didn't have that many new cards versus the older ones.  I don't recommend the 2015 Deluxe version.

I have a Hallmark card program so this paper makes beautiful greeting cards. I use pictures on my cards so they stand out on this type of paper.

I was previously using Card Studio 2009, and liked it very much. But, for some strange reason, the Event Planner feature (which is very important to me) stopped working. Since Hallmark no longer supports the 2009 version, and tech support could not help me, I decided to order this version.
I like it very much. The format is clear and the operation, for the most part, is nicely intuitive. And I loved the fact that there was a seamless transfer of data from the old Event Planner to the new one. But there are a few little problems (besides the minor fact that the opening page is a bit too gaudy, featuring a huge bird that moves up and down as a cursor):
(1) When I opened the card making feature, I noted that it filled the whole screen and, when working on a card, I could not see the very bottom of the page, so it was hard to make the adjustments I wanted. So, I called tech support and the technician explained to me that, for some reason not even she could understand, Hallmark decided to change this version so that you must change some aspects of your screen resolution in order to see the entire page! If you use Windows 7, Right click on a clear spot on your screen, choose screen resolution, then click on "make text and other items larger or smaller." Then choose "smaller." I guess this is the original windows default, and it works fine. But for me, since Ihave a hard time reading the small print, I liked the "larger" setting. And Card Studio 2009 worked just fine on that setting!
(2) The  email function for sending cards is fine, but every time I sent a card to myself (just to test it) I found that Windows went by the first page too quickly -- a recipient would generally  miss it, then have to replay the card. But this feature did not even work on my 2009 version, so what we have here is clearly an improvement.
(3) Some of the really fun cards that were in the 2009 version are not here. I kept 2009 on my computer, so I can use the old cards if I want to. But it would be nice to have them here. I think, in general, the 2009 selections were more my style.
