Description:
A fast and easy way to create greeting cards and more, Art Explosion Greeting Card Factory is not only fun, it is also quite functional. Greeting Card Factory can assist anyone in creating colorful and attractive presentations to share with friends and family. Clearly not a program intended for professional use, Greeting Card Factory can be shared together with children and adults in producing many different kinds of arrangements. The application's quick-start menu gives users a wide selection of available projects: greeting cards, photo cards, announcements, invitations, envelopes, labels, postcards, gift tags, e-cards, stationery, signs, posters, and crafts. Each one of these sections then includes a diverse range of categories. Users can personalize projects within these categories, or use the templates provided. Furthermore, each category has the option to work with a blank template, allowing a more creative person to completely customize their projects. The most exciting and original feature of Greeting Card Factory is the crafts section. In this section, an engaging and unique offering of projects is available to the user. Such projects include: craft cards with gift enclosures and money holders, book covers, bookmarks, door hangers, envelopes, gift bags, gift baskets, gift boxes, masks, origami, paper airplanes, party hats, and tickets. One major drawback to using Greeting Card Factory is the e-card section. As e-cards are becoming an increasingly popular form of missive, this was an extremely important section to us. However, we found that Greeting Card Factory does not support the use of any mail program other than Microsoft Outlook. If using Microsoft Outlook, Greeting Card Factory will send your e-card in the widely compatible form of a JPG file. However, if using any other kind of program, the recipient of your e-card cannot easily read your attachment. We found the combination of sophisticated publishing tools, combined with the simplicity of graphics and auto-functions, made Greeting Card Factory an extremely user-friendly application. The clip art available within the program ranges from breathtaking photographs to colorful cartoons and animations. All in all, Greeting Card Factory came through on all its promises: to help anyone create greeting cards and much more for special occasions, holidays, or just for fun. --Kendra Hayden
