After using Hallmark Card Studio 2 for years, I found 2005 Standard cumbersome and difficult to use. It is not nearly the fun "2" is, can't personalize the cards easily and the designs (graphics) are so simple, nothing special about them except for maybe a couple in the whole product. Easier printing of envelopes is the only good thing about this product!

I love how you have everything in the project can be manipulated so easily. When I bought this I was worried that it would be difficult for this 70 year young senior. It produces top quality cards for every special occasion. I find myself making cards for my family and friends just for fun.

I have had Hallmark software for 4 years running now. Falling in line with the others,this version producing great cards for all your family and friends to enjoy.

I wrote upon returning the product that both Hallmark and Amazon
should be ashamed to send such a poor product. The colors on the card were not good and the software was so faulty. It would print the sayings on top of each other, not centered.
I had an earlier product from Microsoft that had beautiful cards and selections that I used for many years but got outdated and would not install. I asked and hopefully have received a complete refund.

I purchased this software with some suspision. Previous Hallmark Card making programs that I had purchased functioned poorly and you were limited with what you could do. I have also purchased
other card making programs from American Greetings, Annoucements and Broderbund. This is the easiest to use and gives you a lot of variety. The clip art is a little disapointing but the product on the whole makes up for it. I have created cards and added sound and music to e-cards for family and friends. They are always amazed and ask how I did that. They are even more tickled with photos that I can add. I have used this software to print out personalized Christmas cards and envelopes. I am thinking about purchasing the 2006 software, for new graphics and clip art.

We bought this primarily because the Microsoft software Premium Picture It was so difficult to use, particularly with respect to inserting photos into the greeting card design. The Hallmark product definitely scores in that department and is otherwise easy to use. Maybe not the greatest designs or the boldest creations, even lacking as much humor as one might want, but a product we are well pleased with.

i like the sofware but finding the paper to print it on is hard, or maybe i just don't know where to get it from.
