I use Serif PagePlus for this. The current version is PagePlus 11 but Serif do an older version here
If you download the free design templates with it, that should get you going. HTH

Depends how you define "best". I use QuarkXpress. A snip at only £749.

If you use Word or other MS apps you can download greetings card templates from here.

I suspect they would work with Open Office too, but I've not tried it.

I use corel printhouse which came free with my last PC. I do some good stuff, too

If you have Microsoft Office installed, then Microsoft provides loads of free templates on their site.

Here is the direct link to the greeting cards templates:http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/templates/CT101043221033.aspx

If you need clip art for your cards, Microsoft provide these free as well on:

I've bought many different packages in the past for my Mother.

Creatacard Gold
Creatacard Platinum
Hallmark 2006
Hallmark 2007

She seems to prefer Creatacard Gold over the others, but dips in and out of them for verses etc. None of them are free but they are very easy to use. Thousands of cards, ready made, but all editable.
