iPhoto 6 is the first version where you can order greeting cards using
pre-designed Apple templates.

As to iPhoto 5, it will print out in the dimensions of a greeting card, but,
as you noticed, does not allow you to truly design them.

The cheesy greeting cards you speak of are not limited to people with
digital cameras. My family has been receiving such cards for years before
the advent of the digital camera.
