How to Make Your Own Greeting Cards With Windows Software

Give a meaningful, homemade card that looks great

Greeting card software programs feature ready-made templates, design wizards, clip art, fonts, and other extras to make it easy to design and print your own cards, announcements or invitations. Some do other print projects as well, such as labels, fliers, or scrapbooks, while others are devoted solely to greeting cards.

These user-friendly programs are simple to use and the cards you develop with them are designed to run on home printers or be posted to social media.
