This product does not work well at all. It's okay for printing cards but it would be cheaper to buy a card from the store. Sending the card by email creates fuzzy graphics, your inserted text does not show, and high quality jpeg photo files results in a blocky appearance when sent by email. (The same card printed well so it wasn't a problem with the jpeg photo.) There are not enough selections of cards, clip art, or music files to warrant the cost. There is no way to reach customer support by email. I tried to return the product to Hallmark but had clipped off the UPC for a rebate even though I had not sent it in, it made it uneligible for return.

Excellent software application, smooth installation, very flexible, high quality you would expect from Hallmark. Lots of clip art and high-quality fonts.

I noticed two glaring omissions from the product: there are no pre-defined Christmas gift tag designs, although designs exist for other occasions; and there are no pre-defined sympathy cards. Yes, you can design your own, but since Hallmark omitted sympathy phrases from its library of "sentiments," and included precious little appropriate clip art, it is much easier to simply buy a card from the store, which is what I wanted to avoid by buying this software.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hallmark Card Studio 2009 Review, January 15, 2009

Overall the product works as advertised, however, I did uncover one bug the first time I used it. I called Hallmark and found out they have a software bug in the "email" feature. You cannot email a card with color text added, all text must be black. I have used previous versions of card studio and this is slightly improved, but I wouldn't give it a "Wow" rating.
