Someone already mentioned Open Office, but nobody specifically pointed 
to Open Office Draw.

I've been using the program for everything from creating very detailed 
text forms, prototyping art-type-stuff, stitching panoramas and 
posterizing bitmaps, it may not be the best tool for the stuff I 
mentioned, but I have found it good at all of them.

Even stitching panoramas in the GIMP is a PITA because of the sheer 
memory usage in the multiple layers for the photos in the shot.  The 
only thing I can't get OO Draw to do is to warp or deform bitmaps in a 
controlled manner.

A simple greeting card should be trivial in the program.
