Free Card Maker

Free Card Maker is an intuitive and easy to work with piece of software whose main function consists of helping you design invitations for an extensive range of events and celebrations, enabling you to customize pre-existing templates until you obtain the result you are after.

The application features a colorful and simple to handle appearance, its main window offering all the available configuration preferences in a compact structure.

The intuitive and straightforward user interface makes Free Card Maker accessible to people of all levels of experience, but it focuses primarily on computer novices.

To get started, you can select the ‘Invitation Type’ from the corresponding menu, the available options being ‘Birthday’, ‘Christmas Party’, ‘Bridal Shower’, ‘Anniversary’, ‘Holiday Related’, ‘Wedding’ or ‘All-Purpose’, each comprising a number of templates that you can work with.

After choosing the event type, you can move over to the right-side panel, where you can pick the template you want to use, being able to preview them before settling for any of them. You can then modify the font and edge colors, the background color and other details in the invitation.

Moreover, you can pick one of seven different writing styles, then start customizing the text displayed on the card, for instance the ‘Event Introduction Line’, ‘Honoree’s Name’, ‘Event Date’, ‘Location Name’ and ‘Address’, along with several other details.

However, keep in mind that the invitation is one sided. Finally, you can save the created card to your computer, to image format, the supported extensions being JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIF or PDF.

To conclude, Free Card Maker is a handy and efficient program that aims to help you create invitations for various events, with minimal effort on your part.

However, the utility is quite limited in terms of templates, font styles and layout options, which might deter more demanding individuals from using it, due to the relatively few variations in appearance.
