Card Software?

[BathBelle]

I use Silhouette Studio, which is a free software. It is primarily intended for the Cameo and Robo cutting machines but you can design whatever you want on there, use all the fonts on your machine, import jpgs, pngs, etc and make your own shapes, and print out. It is very versatile and free and if you have any questions on using it just ask on Craft Robo chat.

I have Halmark 2007 so not sure if its the same as yours but with mine to design from scratch you have to click the tab that says Art Studio then it should give you a list of items to choose a blank template.

I also have Nova greeting card factory which i find better than hallmark. That also allows you to design from scratch.

Thanks Helen,

The worst thing about Hallmark was that it started printing out enormous arrows and crosses to key in card designs, awfully wasteful on both ink and paper!

Wil have a look at the Art Studio tab.

Best thanks,

Ooh thanks for the tip I have a Mac now and am using Pages but I do miss the graphics which come with a greeting card software.

Hallmark definitely do a from scratch one because I was looking into it for the Mac.

Can you not use Microsoft Picture It with Word 2007 or is it not compatible?

I used to use it a lot, in fact that was what got me started making cards originally, only because I had a computer and didn't know what to do with it.

My favourite was Broderbund's Carlton Cards but I don't think you can get that anymore.

Where do I find the creativity suite software by Do crafts please? I've been on their site but can't seem to find it.

Many thanks!

We will probably go for the Serif, because I have also used Serif for other things - video editing & web design, so they are a known quantity.
