There are many occasions to celebrate in life. If you want to send a person a greeting card, here are some of the best software tools for sending out a greeting card.
It used to be that greeting cards were purchased at the local corner drugstores. They came with generic messages and pictures and there were only a few options available. Nowadays, greeting cards of all shapes, sizes, and themes are available at just about any store. For an even more personal touch, you can even choose to create your own greeting cards using one of the following programs.
1 Serif CraftArtist Compact
CraftArtist Compact is a free download available from the makers of many well known and awesome products like the Serif Photo Plus x5. The software helps with greeting cards, scrapbooks, invitations, photobooks, and more. It features a host of tools, including a variety of brushes and stencils that just work like their real life counterpart. There is a comprehensive user guide, a variety of tutorials in both video and PDF format, and helpful on screen prompts for every tool. As an added benefit, the associated website DaisyTrail lets users share photos and creations with one easy click.
2 Photo Pos Pro
Photo Pos Pro is intended for those with extensive photo editing experience. The huge list of available features will likely overwhelm the newbie and some of the options are very complex to execute.
