2.0 out of 5 stars Had high hopes, September 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2003 (CD-ROM)

This software has such great potential. It makes cards so easily whether it's one of their cards or one made from scratch. I made a beautiful card using a digital picture of my kids. It turned out great. Everything is very easy to use. The problem with it is that things started being missing that I knew were there such as a whole slew of thank you cards, bon voyage cards, envelopes, etc. I can't find them anywhere. So, I uninstalled the software, then reinstalled and voila - there was everything I knew was missing. I was so excited. But then after returning from the Event Planner it was all gone again. I am very sad to say that I am returning this software. The tech support is horrible. They have no idea how to help. All they tell me is to go to the forums and post my problems and hope that other customers can help me. It's the worst customer service I've ever experienced. My dad and sister have an earlier version and have had no problems. Hope I can get my hands on one. I had such high hopes for this software.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new Card Studio!, October 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2003 (CD-ROM)

I enjoyed Card Studio 3, but Hallmark Card Studio 2003 has really impressed me. It's very easy to find what you want, there are lots of occasions from which to choose, and you can personalize and print a card in just a few minutes. A great way to create special cards for family and friends.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good software with minor flaws, November 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2003 (CD-ROM)

With this version there are LOTS of cards to choose from. There are actually 5 categories that include birthdays, holidays, special days, day by day, and other projects. The predesigned cards are nicely designed and there's also an option to design your own card from scratch. The text of some cards can't be changed though, so if you want to use those graphics, you'll have to do a bit more work (copying and pasting). And the button to customize your printer settings within the software doesn't work. You have to change the settings from Windows by pressing start, control panel, etc. No biggie though. This program does take a lot of hard drive space with a full install (1.6 gigs). I guess my major gripe is there's no way to remove the logo from the back page. I don't mind the Hallmark one but the "2002, Universal Vivendi Games, Inc" one is kind of tacky.
