Avanquest Software Publishing will release Hallmark Card Studio 2009 Deluxe for PC in November 2008. The official software of Hallmark, the UK’s leading greeting card publisher, allows users to create personalised cards and projects in just a few easy steps.

The software provides an excellent value for money solution to designing cards and invitations for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and all other special occasions.

Hallmark Card Studio 2009 Deluxe can be used to create a range of exciting projects such as greeting cards, stickers, invitations, calendars, photo frames, stationery, scrapbooks and certificates, all of which can be made in three simple steps. Users begin by selecting what to make, choosing from the 9000 card templates and 16,000 clip art images. After adding personal messages, graphics and photographs for a unique and individual touch, the completed creation can then be printed out or emailed to a friend or family member.

Hallmark Card Studio 2009 Deluxe also includes many useful features to assist the user when creating various projects:
· The Digital Photo Editor can be used for correcting photographs, removing red eye and adding special effects, so photographs can be perfected before use.
· The Event Planner helps to keep users organised, ensuring important occasions are not forgotten.
· Hallmark Sentiment Library helps to create those special messages inside a card to ensure a highly personalised feel.
· Hallmark E-cards mean users can also send a quick message when a greeting or invitation needs to be sent instantly.

Other Hallmark content provided in the software includes exclusive Hallmark fonts for creating unique designs and KidLock password protection to keep projects secure. For more information visit www.avanquest.com/UK/create.
