It sets the tone
The AI writer plans different artwork in the mood of the occasion (confetti for a birthday, a sunny open road for a retirement, white flowers for sympathy) and writes the greeting and a one-line message. Seedream 5 paints each card, then Idyllic sets the type. Preview the flow free first.

Why it beats
a template
The right mood, every time
Joyful for a birthday, a new baby, a new home or a retirement, encouraging for good luck, quiet and gentle for sympathy. The occasion sets the art and the words.
Sympathy done with care
For a loss, the message stays quiet and sincere with no jokes, and the artwork turns to white flowers or a soft, still landscape.
Personal, from one detail
Tell it she just got her pilot's license and loves sunflowers, and the card can show a small plane over a sunflower field.
Eight occasions, one flow
Birthday, Congratulations, Sympathy, New baby, Retirement, Good luck, New home and Just because. For the big holidays there are dedicated card flows too.
Every word stays editable
The greeting, message and sign-off are real type in Canvas. Change a word, choose from 144 fonts, add a shadow, an outline or a gradient.
Print it or send it
1500×2100 px is a 5×7 card at 300 ppi, which fits an A7 envelope. Or send the same PNG by text or email.
What to write in a greeting card
- Use their name and one specific detail. That's what makes it theirs.
- Congratulations: name the achievement and say you saw how hard they worked.
- Sympathy: keep it short, share a memory of the person if you have one, and skip “everything happens for a reason”.
- New baby or new home: welcome the new chapter and offer real help, like a meal or a hand with boxes.
- Retirement: thank them for something specific, then wish them a good next chapter.
- Just because: say why you thought of them today.
