5.0 out of 5 stars Creatacard Platinum 6.0, February 14, 2002

I have used Creatacard from the beginning when it first came out. As the versions have come along, they have made many improvements. It takes a little bit to get to know the in's & outs of the program but it's well worth the time. I have not purchased a store-bought card in I don't know how long. I especially like being able to start with one of their cards & make it my own (especially when I can change just about anything I want to (like the verse, artwork, or the size of the card). I spend many hours playing with the program. I have been able to make some very beautiful cards. I would recommend the program to anyone who is willing to sit down with it and learn it. You can create some really beautiful cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creatacard Platinum 6 - simply the best, September 1, 2001

The best just got better! Having used Creatacard Gold 3 for the past 3 years, I decided to upgrade to Gold 6, but changed my mind when I found Platinum edition, realising it would be a bumper package. On first use, I was frustrated to say the least. The desktop has completely changed but, when you really examine the functions, it does much, much more than the 3rd edition I used previously. I played for a bit, realised it did what the Gold 3 did plus plus plus! Much more creativity, many more art works plus you don't have to purchase additions which cost me at least £20 just for two sets. The artwork simply astounded me - couldn't work my way through it all!
If you enjoy creating personal cards & projects - BUY IT!

1.0 out of 5 stars American Greeting CreataCard Platinum 6, December 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: American Greetings Creatacard Platinum 6.0 (CD-ROM)

I have used American Greeting CreatCard Gold 3 for several years and was very pleased with the product. The newer version, Platinum 6 is very disappointing. The art work is very cartoonish and more on a childlike level. The application also is difficult to use and very different from version 3. Also, the Address Book did not transfer to Platinum 6 from Gold 3 as the instructions claimed. I will be returning this for a refund and continue to look for a a supplemental greeting card software to use with Gold 3 which is lacking in Get Well, Sympathy,and other adult level greeting cards.
