I was a little reluctant to buy this product. Would I really use it? Would the quality be as good as a real card? Would there be enough variety? I have used it A LOT! The cards are great! And the variety of themes for the cards are wonderful. Plus I've created certificates and gift tags too.

It is so simple to use. I am not one to read directions and I was creating cards within minutes of actually installing CreataCard. My kids love using it too.

Why run to the store and buy a $3 generic card when you can have this product for the cost of 7 cards? And your cards will all be personalized!

I was under the impression this would be an update of their previous version 3. It was completely different and did not offer the user friendliness of previous versions. All cards I have made with previous versions of their product I have sent using a quarter fold card - I have a large supply of these special envelopes I hoped to use. No way could I print a quarter fold card with the information they gave me. I tried their help menu, their e-mail help and after 3 days of waiting for a response I returned the product.

Out of all the programs to create cards, I find the American Greeting software the easiest and best to use. I just purchased the Silver 5 and am loving it. It is so much nicer and personal to make your own cards, the way you want them - even with photos, to friends and family. It sure beats buying standard cards at a store.

I have the 2.1 Version and a friend has the 3 version. I updated to 5 Silver and my friend also reviewed it. We both feel that the 2.1 and 3 are better. They are much easier...seems to have more variety of cards. I would like to be able to buy another 2.1 or 3 for other friends for whom I know 5 would be too confusing as it certainly is for me. If CreataCard would combine either one of these with more cards and programs, ok.
I was thinking about 6 but don't think so. Am happy with my 2.1 and will try to get to know 5 better but am not as happy with it as I had hoped.

I have had more fun with this program in the years I've had it! I've made amazing birthday cards and invitations, unforgettable graduation announcements, matching thank you notes, pop-up cards,and my favorite is the patterns for embroidering a picture to place in a cutout card - The butterfly card I made for a great-aunt in a nursing home will never be forgotten! Some of the pre-made cards especially the christmas and snow scenes are breathtaking. I'm looking to buy again because I've lost my program disk and I want nothing but this exact program. I know I've saved a lot of money in making my own cards and everyone enjoys personalized cards with their name professionally printed on their special card.

We have a large family found out we are saving a lot of money doing our cards this way. We love personalizing them and it fills my creative needs.
