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

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?

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.

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.

All users should send in a bug report to Hallmark:

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. 

Do we really have no recourse when a company as large as Hallmark sells us a product and doesn't do anything when their product doesn't work for us anymore. To add insult to injury, right after realizing the app wasn't working, I received 3 separate emails from Hallmark trying to sell me their premium card and papers to use with the product that is no longer working.

Same thing happened with CardSmith a few years ago. Overnight they orphaned all their users. Apple made a change in something and it broke a 3rd party software CardSmith depended on and they could not recover because the 3rd party company had gone out of business. It would not be surprising if Hallmark did the same thing since their software was written primarily for Windows and they did a half baked port over to the Macintosh. Buyer beware. Just buy software written for the Macintosh.

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?

Same issue here. Was Ok before updating to 15.2. I submitted a bug report to hallmark.

I agree. Mine was OK with 15.0-15.1 then broke on 15.2. You would not think an Apple update within the present OS would break the program but it did.

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.

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.

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.

I’m sure that buried somewhere in the license agreement you implicitly accepted when you opened the app the first time Hallmark has provided themselves with an out. They all do it.
