Ready-made flow · Personal birthday cards with art made for them
Personalized Birthday Card Maker
Idyllic's birthday card maker designs three personal cards from a name and a few things the person loves. An AI writer turns their hobbies, pets and favorite things into artwork ideas and writes the greeting; Seedream 5 paints the illustration; and Idyllic sets “Happy Birthday” and a one-line message in type on a 5×7 card, ready to print or send.

How to make it
Four steps, about a minute of your time. These are real screens from the run above.
- 01
Say who it's for
Type their name in Who is it for?, list what they love (hobbies, pets, favorite things, running jokes), then pick a tone: Heartfelt, Funny, Cute or Elegant.

- 02
It writes and illustrates
The AI writer plans different artwork around the things they love and writes a greeting with their name plus a one-line message in your tone. Seedream 5 paints each illustration, then Idyllic sets the type. Preview the flow free first.
- 03
Pick their card
The three cards sit side by side, with the illustrations on their own too, so you can pick the one that feels most like them.
- 04
Make it yours and download
Open one in Canvas, rewrite the message, change the font, effect or color, add a photo, then download a 1500×2100 PNG to print or send.
Why it beats
a template
Art about them, not a stock card
Tell it Grandpa Joe loves fishing, his old dog Biscuit and terrible puns, and the illustration is built around a fishing boat and a dog, not generic balloons.
The message is written for you
A greeting with their name and a short message, warm or funny depending on the tone you pick. Keep it, or rewrite it in a click.
Every word stays editable
The greeting, the message and the small line on top are real type in Canvas. Change a word, choose from 144 fonts, add a shadow or an outline.
Print it or send it
1500×2100 px is a 5×7 card at 300 dpi. Print it at home or send the same PNG by text, email or WhatsApp.
Four tones
Heartfelt for parents and grandparents, Funny for siblings and friends, Cute for kids, Elegant for colleagues and milestones.
Add your own photo
Upload a family photo in Canvas and place it on the card. The type stays editable around it.
What to write in a birthday card
- Use their name and one specific memory or inside joke. Specific beats generic.
- Match the tone to the person: a pun for the uncle who loves puns, warmth for grandma.
- Keep the front short. The greeting and one line read best; save the long note for inside.
- Mention what they love: their dog, their garden, their team.
- For a milestone, say the number. “Happy 50th” lands harder than “Happy birthday”.
- If you print it, sign it by hand.
Card sizes and print specs
| Card (flow size) | 5×7 in, 1500×2100 px | 300 dpi at print size, portrait |

| Flat card | 5×7 card stock | Single-sided, fits an A7 envelope (5¼×7¼ in) |
| Folded card | 10×7 in sheet, folded to 5×7 | Place the design on the right half so it lands on the front |
| Home printer | US Letter or A4 | Print at 100% scale, one card per sheet, then trim |

Print shops trim close to the edge, so keep the message about ⅛ in (3 mm) inside it.
