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

For years I have been using a Hallmark Studio greeting card program that worked very well.

I recently updated (upgraded) my iMac to Sequoia 15.3 and now the Hallmark program crashes.

I have checked with Hallmark and they admit to their program not working with Sequoia ( they are hoping for a patch in the future). So far I have been unable to find a greeting card program that I know will work on Sequoia. Has any one out there have a solution to this situation?

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 Mojave all the way to the latest Sequoia and is regularly updated. And it's only for Macintosh. No Windows nonsense.

Thank you tbirdvet and Randall_2023 for your response. I don't need all the options that Hallmark provided, just a program that I can use to custom make greeting cards for grandkids and relatives.

I do want to share something I discovered which may to of some use to you.

I have saved a number of greeting cards that I produced with the Hallmark program and I have been able to pull up one of these and get some additional use from them. Using that old card, I am still able to utilize that card by changing pictures and text messages. In Hallmark's tool bar the features that still work are : open, save, print, and text. Features that don't word are: new, and graphics. Hope this helps.

I wish I had seen this earlier. I contacted Hallmark support and the link they sent me was for a full purchase ($39). I installed the new version and it is slow, clunky, not as easy to customize and very few new images & cards. I'm very disappointed in the new version. There's a 30 day guarantee and I'm thinking of trying to get a refund because it's that disappointing. I did purchase Swift Publisher and I may go back to that.

All of those apps you mention are low margin. Most were targeted at Windows users and were ported to macOS almost as an afterthought. Even when it was working on the Mac the Hallmark Card Studio remained at version 22 for years with no updates or upgrades offered, just recycled templates and images.


Print Shop, on the other hand, does have a macOS capable version BUT MacKiev can’t sell it in the United States because of apparent unspecified legal issues. The app is available for purchase in the U.S. but only by verified educational buyers. So a school district can buy it but not you or me. Weird.


Broderbund has a barely functional, crude Windows port they’re selling (I bought it and regretted it).
