Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2010.

So a few months back (probably at least 4, which is terrible), I signed up to receive some free software in exchange for actually USING the software and writing a review about it, giving my opinion on it.  I received 5 different software titles, some of them photo editing (cause you know I like my photos), but only ONE of them would actually install and work for some reason.  I could understand getting a bad disk and having 1 or maybe even 2 of them not work, but nearly all of them?  Very strange.  I tried them in 3 different computers in my house and I can’t explain it.  They just wouldn’t install. 

Anyway, the one that did work was Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2010, and I’ve been trying it out and finding some CUTE stuff in there.  I make my own cards a lot and I sell them to other people, but sometimes I just don’t have the time or want to take the time to hand make the card and I like to have a program to print one off real quick while I’m working at the same time.  I used to use American Greetings software and after probably 5-6 years I finally used up most of the card options in there, so it was nice to have a new one to try. 

Here are some projects I made with Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe 2010.

I love how this certificate is from “the mother of neatness”.  Cracks me up.

I’m sending these cards to all of the wonderful people and companies who donated to my auction for Anita (to deliver her scrapbook to Canada) last March.  I thanked them all via e-mail, but I’ve really been wanting to send a personal note to each one.  It really meant a lot to me, all the strangers who came forward to help my cause.  It was wonderful.

I chose this one because I just liked the blues and greens and the simple image.

I also liked the sentiment inside

Since I worked on the Cards For Kids drive the other day, I got to looking for some kiddie cards in the program, and found this CUTE one.

But it’s really the inside sentiment that makes it so cute!

(forgive my crappy blurry photo please!)

I was helping my step-granddaughter do her bridal shower invitations and she wanted some return address labels so I found this clip art to make them for her. 

How CUTE are these?

There is a TON of clip art in this program, so I plan to use lots of it to print out and cut out and then use the images to make some more cards for kids.  Lots of the clip art images could also be printed, cut out, and used on our scrapbook pages, and I’m all for that because my scrapbooking budget is a big fat zero! 

All in all, I like this Hallmark software a lot.  I found it to be a bit sluggish, but I really think it’s because my computer has no space left on it AT ALL and it just has no room to work properly, so I’m looking forward to installing it on the new computer and seeing how much better it works.  I didn’t have to pay for mine, but I think it would be well worth the cost because of the huge quantity of cards available that you won’t have to purchase.  Even if you’re the kind of person who buys cards at the dollar store (me), you’d still save money to use this and print them out at home because it will take you YEARS to use up all the cards in here.  ha ha
