How to make a greeting card with AI: with Russian lettering, from your photo or from scratch

Alen founder of KADR Updated 2026-10-26 4 min read

An AI greeting card takes a minute: you describe the occasion, the style and the lettering, and the model draws the whole card together with the Russian text. Nano Banana Pro handles Russian lettering best: the text goes into the prompt word for word in quotation marks. You can make a card from scratch or from a photo of a person (the birthday person, a couple, a family) while keeping the face, and then bring it to life as a video. One 2K card costs about 25 rubles (KADR (kadr-ai.ru) data, October 2026). Below are prompts for a birthday, wedding, jubilee, March 8, February 23 and other occasions.

How the prompt is built

[Occasion] + [Scene and elements] + [Style and colors] + [Lettering in quotation marks] + [Format]
  • Lettering word for word in quotation marks: «С днём рождения, Аня!» (“Happy birthday, Anya!”).
  • Font: elegant, bold, playful. Complex calligraphy distorts letters more often.
  • Format: 3:4 or 4:5 for messengers, 1:1 for social media.

Birthday

From scratch:

Festive birthday card: a pastel cake with lit candles, colorful balloons and confetti on a light background, soft watercolor style. Text at the top: «С днём рождения!» in a playful bold font. 4:5

«С днём рождения!» means “Happy birthday!”.

From a photo:

Keep the face of the person from the photo exactly the same. Birthday portrait: the person smiles holding a cake with candles, balloons and confetti around, warm light. Text at the top: «С днём рождения, Аня!» in a bold elegant font. 4:5

«С днём рождения, Аня!» means “Happy birthday, Anya!”.

Wedding and anniversary

Elegant wedding card: white roses and eucalyptus leaves around the edges, soft cream background, gold details. Text in the center: «Поздравляем с днём свадьбы!» in an elegant serif font. 3:4

«Поздравляем с днём свадьбы!» means “Congratulations on your wedding day!”.

Romantic anniversary card in watercolor: two coffee cups on a balcony at sunset, hearts drawn in the steam. Text at the bottom: «10 лет вместе». 4:5

«10 лет вместе» means “10 years together”.

Jubilee

Classic anniversary card: a bouquet of burgundy peonies, dark green background with gold frame. Text: «С юбилеем! 60 лет» in an elegant gold font. 3:4

«С юбилеем! 60 лет» means “Happy jubilee! 60 years”.

March 8

Spring greeting card: a bouquet of yellow mimosa and tulips on a light pink background, soft watercolor. Text: «С 8 Марта!» in an elegant font. 4:5

«С 8 Марта!» means “Happy March 8!” (International Women’s Day).

February 23

Greeting card in a strict minimal style: a dark navy background, a simple gold star, subtle geometric lines. Text: «С 23 Февраля!» in a bold clean font. 4:5

«С 23 Февраля!» means “Happy February 23!” (Defender of the Fatherland Day).

New Year

New Year card: a decorated fir tree with warm lights in a cozy room, gifts under the tree, snow outside the window. Text at the top: «С Новым годом!» in an elegant festive font. 3:4

«С Новым годом!» means “Happy New Year!”.

For colleagues and clients

Minimal corporate greeting card: a light background, a single sprig of eucalyptus, lots of empty space. Text: «Спасибо, что вы с нами!» in a clean dark font. 1:1

«Спасибо, что вы с нами!» means “Thank you for being with us!”.

Animated card

Upload the finished card to a video model as the first frame:

Gentle animation: confetti slowly falls, balloons sway, candle flames flicker. The text and composition stay unchanged. Sound: soft festive melody.

Veo 3.1 Lite or Fast for atmosphere, Kling v3 if there is a person on the card. Keep in mind: Veo makes only 16:9 and 9:16, and Kling 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1; a 3:4 card without people can be animated without cropping in Seedance 2.0. For a greeting with speech: AI video greeting.

Tips

  • Check every letter and the name.
  • Do not use other people’s characters or logos for cards you sell: other brands, logos and characters in AI.
  • For print choose 4K.
  • A person’s photo only with their consent.
