Hallmark Card Studio crashed on MacBook Air after updating to macOS 15.2

I have the same issue on my MacBook Pro Intel. Hallmark has added that Hallmark Card Studio for the Mac is not supported under Sequoia. I have it working under a VMWare Macintosh 10.14 virtual machine so at least I can still do my cards and such.

Check that Hallmark Card Studio for Mac has an update making it compatible with Sequoia v15.2, or that it indicates it is not compatible. Entirely the developer's responsibility to keep the application current with the release of macOS.

I sent a query to Hallmark and received a reply yesterday. They said: We haven't received any updates on when the resolution will be released. The only option we can recommend is to install it on a compatible operating system which is macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and up to macOS 14.1.1 (Sonoma) as stated on our website. 

I'm very disappointed, thinking that this will never be updated.

You really should find a replacement for the Windows port that is Hallmark Card Studio. The developers could not care less about Mac users. The version number hasn’t changed in three years which means they have stopped development. It also means they never tested it with Sequoia. I doubt we’ll ever see a newer version. This is simply PrintShop 4 all over again, dropping support for macOS.

Hallmark is aware that Mac OS15.2 crashes Hallmark Card Studio v 22.0.7.

I spoke with a tech and they looking in to it.

No time table! Holiday season and I am unable to print cards.

Probably no consolation that you are not alone in the ability to print Hallmark cards. Do you have another Mac with older macOS on it and appropriate Hallmark software so you can punt and still print your holiday cards?

They now state on the site "not compatible with Sequoia".

Since updating to MacOS Sequoia 15.2, Hallmark Card Studio for Mac v22 Bonus won't work, and I can't create or print any cards. Is there a fix?

No, there is no fix. The developer of the app must release an update. The problem is the version number of the macOS version hasn’t changed in years and it would not surprise me if no update was released and development stopped.

My workaround has been to go to Finder and open up a previously created greeting card. I then save that under another name and make the necessary changes to create a new greeting card. Since I don't have access to the graphics, I usually go to the Internet and find an image and place that on the card as necessary. I now have a new greeting card that fits my needs. I hope this helps.

Looking at the latest version they shipped by doing a command-I on the app it's an Intel only version - as you discovered. And the copyright is 2010. They have a way to go to make this work reliably with modern version of macOS.

I was just contacted by Hallmark. They are aware of the issue but no date as to if or when it will be fixed. I'm running V7.0.0.14. They just stated to check back with them in a few weeks for any update.

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 designed for the Macintosh and only for Macintosh. No Windows nonsense. 

I reached out today and heard back from Customer Service for the Hallmark card program on the Mac and its issues with sequoia. Here is the reply:

It has taken longer than expected but the final building of the software has been sent for approval today. Once the approval is given the software will be made available.

Have you verified this with Hallmark?
