Prompt for festive card art
Describe the holiday scene and mood: "cozy snowy cabin with warm lights, festive, illustrated", "cute cartoon reindeer, whimsical, bright colors", or "elegant golden ornaments on deep red, minimal". Add a style that matches your vibe.
Generate in Portrait (cards are usually tall) with space for your greeting. Because AI struggles with text, generate the art only and add "Merry Christmas" and your message afterward.
Add your greeting
Once you have the card art, add your holiday greeting and personal message in a design tool, in a festive font. Keep the text readable against the background, and leave room for a handwritten note if you're printing.
Generate several options and pick the one that best captures the holiday feeling before adding text.
