I am looking for a program to make cards with for my mac. I have an old version fo Print Artist but it only runs under os 9. I want something for os x but they don't make Print Artist for the Mac anymore. Does anyone know of a card making program for os x? It doesn't have to be free, just not anything really expensive.

Someone asked about this a few days ago -- I am using Greeting Card Factory from Nova -- think it's around $50 (got it for christmas).

And Print Shop for Mac has been upgraded to work with OSX. I was really tempted on that one, too -- looks like it integrates well with iphoto, etc. That, too is around 50 bucks.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THE NEW PRINT SHOP and not the old one. Apparently, some sites are still selling the old one.

Oh -- Nova also makes Print Explosion (or something like that), which also has been upgraded for X. I have the Classic version of that.

Happy card-making.

When it comes to making greetings cards, you can choose to use one of the carefully selected templates that are available from Script Software, a template of your own or you can create a greeting from scratch. If you choose to create a greeting card from scratch you can use your own graphics that you have created on your computer, photographs that you have taken with a digital camera, pictures scanned in to your computer or download pictures from Script Software right from within easy card, using the "Get Picture" option. When you have a picture you can then apply a series of effects to that picture, including but not limited to rotation, inverse and grayscale. Writing the message is just as easy.
