Hallmark Studio Greeting Card program not working on my iMac after updating to Sequoia 15.3

Have you used the Hallmark v23 with Sequoia 15.3 yet. It seems to work OK, but not as “bug free” as their v22 before the OS update broke it.

I am also curious if anyone is successfully using Hallmark Card Studio v23 with iOS Tahoe 26.x I am delaying my OS upgrade until I can get verification that is really does work.

thanks in advance!

I have v22 and v23. I have Tahoe 26.1. I have been using v22 by using ‘open recent’ since adding v23 projects don’t open in v22. I did receive an email from Hallmark saying they were aware of issues and were working on it.

V22 stopped working with upgrade to Sequoia but does work once I added V23 with the exception of opening existing projects in my card folder. So…I have been opening recent projects and redoing and renaming and saving in V22. Not an ideal option but I did get my Christmas cards made!

Hallmark Card Studio for MAC OS

V23 does not work on either of our MACs, Sequoia or Tahoe. The text box expands horizontally and will not stay the size of the card.  The text tool bar appears over the text so you can't see it. any changed fonts or sizes do not get applied until you click away. This version so far has been a real pain, nothing like the older version that worked like a charm. This is a terrible release of what was a great application. I really wonder what the implementation team did to test this before the release. It definitely has some BNIG problems, at least on our Macs. PLEASE get this fixed or my wife will go crazy.

I found that V22 works (mostly) with the V23 loaded. I can't open any projects from the folder I keep them in but if I open it in V23 and then go to V22 I can "open recent". I then delete everything in that project and create a new one and save it as usual. I can open it until it is no longer an "open recent" item. V22 stopped working properly when I upgraded to Sequoia. I could "make" it work somewhat to get what I needed, but it works much better with V23 components. HOWEVER - it still sucks that this new version is such a mess.

Thanks for the reply, but I purchased V23 and I expect it to work as a standalone or I will be getting my money back. Pretty poor programming, in my opinion. Too bad, the working version was one of my wife's most favorite programs.

I agree extremely POOR programing but I have too many years and projects with this program that I don't want to lose. So, if I can get it to work somewhat for now - I will do that. I did get an email from Hallmark indicating they were aware of the issues (probably not ALL of them, though) and were working on it. I would prefer to see a working product rather than one everyone has to "rig" to work - if there are that many issues - don't release it. I did ask them if they really didn't care about Mac users!

Hallmark Card Studio program for macOS, in particular Sequoia will be available in early May and back to being able to be used for all MAC users.

From The update is expected in early May 2025

I downloaded it, but just couldn’t get it to work on Sequoia. Had to request a refund. I might try again, but I had no success with the upgraded Mac version.

Same thing with me! I called Hallmark support and actually got someone to answer the phone. After they verified my purchase I received an email with v23.
