Basically, something like PrintShop, right?  (I used to have an older version 
for the Apple ][!)

No one's made a workalike for Linux, as far as I can tell on Google.

You ever think of going to Papyrus and picking up a 10-pack of blank cards?  I
know you said you want automated inanity, but all you REALLY need to write is
"Thinking of you," which covers about 99% of all greeting-card-worthy
situations.
