Montreal, Canada – For over 30 years, Strawberry Shortcake has been a classic favorite for many young girls around the world, appearing on everything from greeting cards to dolls, to TV series and now on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Now Budge Studios and American Greetings Properties, the intellectual property and outbound licensing division of American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM), announce the release of the free “Strawberry Shortcake Card Maker Dress Up” app.
