Several greeting card programs are on the market, including American Greetings CreataCard Gold from Mindscape, Print Shop Pro from Broderbund and Graphics Studio Greetings 99 from Microsoft. Scan a print and you have a low-cost professional photo for your greeting cards. If you don’t already have a good photo, consider getting one taken at a photo studio or a department store photo center and ordering the least expensive set of prints.

If you don’t have a scanner, take the photo to Kinko’s or a photo-finishing service, which, for about $10, will scan it to a floppy or Zip disk. If you already have a good photo, you can scan it. And they’re more personal.Īll the programs let you import photos.

While I’ve yet to see a computer-generated card that looks quite as slick as what you can get at a store, the ones that come off my printer are nevertheless quite attractive. There was a time when even I thought it was nerdy to use a PC to create greeting cards, but advances in color printers, scanners and digital cameras, as well as the availability of high-quality special paper, have changed all that.
