John,

   What is wrong with the GIMP?  

   You need a graphics program of some kind.  Xfig does vector graphics, although its fonts are limited.  Open Office has a lot of tools that should work.  I have done some decent layouts with LaTeX.  You can use LaTeX to generate any graphics you require for this.

   The chief thing you need to design greeting cards is artistic talent.
