Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Don't be fooled by the adorable kittens and the yuk-yuk humor: making a greeting card is serious work. Belltech Greeting Card Designer is an intuitive, if very basic, app for creating personalized cards. Like most card-creation programs, you can work off a template or start from scratch, choosing your layout and font properties. Images from the program's clip art gallery add flair, and you can also choose JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, WMF, or TIFF image files from your own library. There are some nice features, such as size-adjustable drawing shapes; however, all but the most novice users will find the features simplistic and the graphic art outdated. Budget-conscious users and budding designers looking to turn out creative and professional-looking products will want a program with more power and sophistication. However, if it's a basic card creator you're after, especially one that's child-friendly, Belltech's icon-rich navigation lets you publish cards in a snap.

Version: Greeting Card Designer 5.3.1
"Cool to create a card but crap to print, little support"
Pros: Was very easy to build a card. I use mostly my own pics and it was easy to do that.
Cons: Once I got the card ready to print, things went south. It told me to use the duplex print which I did. Prints both sides so you don't have to reinsert it. It came out with 1/2" margins and the center was off by about 1/2". No setup
Summary: It was a very cool program 'till I tried to print and then it became an immense PITA. Frustration is not something you want to experience when using any software. I should know, I write.

Version: Greeting Card Designer 5.3.1
Pros: It was easy to use.
Cons: It put a "trial stamp" on the card when I printed it out because it was a free trial.
Summary: Like I said, it works okay.
