For casual use we tried the software (Filmfactory?) that originally came with Epson's greeting cards. We long since quit using their card stock, but the software is pretty brainless, so we continue using it.

I use Avery stock to make my greeting cards. I just download the Avery Word templates. hey work find. I use the cards for my own use, not to sell. If I were trying to sell greeting cards, I would probably look for better pricing. However,if the cards are the same size as the Avery cards, their templates work just fine. I find them pretty much of a no brainer.

If you have the complete Microsoft Office series, the Publisher program is easy to use - I have been using it for many years with great success for both greeting cards and calendars.

I have started to use Red River Card Stock paper with good success. They have a nice tutorial on how to set up your own template using PhotoShop. You can use the paper to put high quality images on the front and print text inside. the inside is also writeable.
These cards were among my best sellers this past Holiday Season.

Since I'm now ordering my cards through White House Custom Color in St. Paul, Minn., I just build each face of the card in CS2 and upload to their templates. Since my cards tend to be fairly simple I don't need a ton of design muscle.
I do a lot of greeting cards, posters, flyers etc, and to cover all my needs I ordered Printmaster 16 which I think works great. There are many options as far as greeting cards and they look professional.In this software you can use photos, their clipart, or yours that you scan to your computer and put into their software.
