Best Greeting Card Software for Sequoia?

[mac-kitty]

I have been using Hallmark Card Studio with my iMac for several years, and after upgrading to macOS 15.2 yesterday, it stopped working (it crashes when I click "Choose a Design"). It worked perfectly with 15.1.1. Are there any other good greeting card programs that will work with 15.2? Hallmark's web site only mentions compatibility with macOS 14. TIA.

I have the same issue - I’m so so upset as I’ve used a Hallmark card program for at least 20 years and now it’s not compatible with my new MAC. Have you found another card program that will work?

I have an old MacBook that can't run anything past Ventura, so I have been using that laptop for making cards.

UPDATE: Dec 19, 2024
I emailed support@encore.com about The PrintShop for Mac.
I plan to purchase the program.

Check out Cardia from Addison Software in the App Store. It does not have a catalog of images but you can find any image you want on the internet and use that. It works with Big Sur all the way to the latest Sequoia and is regularly updated. And it's designed for the Macintosh and only for Macintosh. No Windows nonsense.
