AI Christmas card made on Lovart ME
A couple card in a deckled frame on deep green and its 10-second moving version, both made on this site from original adult portraits.
An AI Christmas card here is your own photo set into a designed card face that you can print, plus a short landscape clip of the same card for messages. The two people below are an original generated adult couple, not real customers. The portrait and card face were made with GPT Image 2.5 Flare and the clip with Seedance 2.0 Fast for this page on October 30, 2026, with the project's sample tools rather than the workbench above. The strip shows each step: photo, card face, first and last second of the clip.

Card that comes alive
Made on Lovart ME with Seedance 2.0 Fast · 720p · 16:9 · 10 s
Input
One original photo of an adult couple: a man with a red beard in a dark green sweater and a woman with black curly hair in a red sweater. Two people, no children
Card face
GPT Image 2.5 Flare image to image, landscape 1536 × 1024, made October 30, 2026: the photo in a white deckled frame on deep green with gold pine, ornaments and pine cones, “Merry Christmas” in gold at the top
Moving card
Seedance 2.0 Fast · 1280 × 720 · 16:9 · 10 s, the card face as the first frame; the model widened the card at the sides with more pine
Sound
Original music-box melody from the prompt, no Christmas song
Upload your photo, pick a frame and background, add up to two decoration pictures, and Image to Image builds the card face around you.
Your photo
One photo of you, a couple or a family, with every face large and sharp. Everyone in the photo stays on the card; nobody is added. A phone selfie in window light works.
Frame and background
Pick Deckled Frame, Gold Pine or Snowy Window in the Xmas Card tab. Each one is a landscape card face with a printed Merry Christmas and a plain band or line for names.
Decorations
Add up to two pictures of your own ornaments, a family pattern or a pet toy; they shape the decorations, never the faces. Then press Design the card and Image to Image builds the face.
Deckled Frame
Your photo in a white deckled frame on deep green, gold pine and ornaments on both sides, Merry Christmas in gold at the top.
Open the card in PhotoCraft, type one line and your names, and keep the text inside the safe margin so the print shop does not trim it.
Dashed line · keep text inside
The greeting
The card face already says Merry Christmas. Add one more short line if you want one, such as “Warm wishes from our home to yours”. One line reads at postcard size; a paragraph does not.
The names
Put the names in the blank band or on the line, for example “Love, Sam and Rosa”. Use the same gold or white as the printed greeting so the two lines look like one card.
The margin
Print shops trim a little from every edge. Keep each word inside the dashed area, about 7% in from the edge, and export the full card. PhotoCraft is a free editor in the browser; nothing it does costs credits.
Use the finished card as the first frame: snow starts, the people in the photo wave, and a robin lands on the frame.
Animate it sends the card face to Image to Video as the first frame of a 10-second landscape clip. The frames below come from the sample clip at 1.5, 5.0 and 9.3 seconds; each pairs what the clip shows with the prompt line that asked for it. The wave started a little earlier and lasted longer than the prompt asks.
0–3 s
Snow
Snow is already falling across the whole card from the first second; the couple still smile at the camera as in the photo.
0-3 s: gentle snowfall starts across the card.
3–6 s
The wave
Both raise a hand and wave from about the third second and keep waving almost to the end; the gold letters catch the light as they start.
3-6 s: the couple in the photo smile and wave.
6–10 s
The robin
The lettering glints again around the eighth second and a robin lands on the right edge of the frame in the last two seconds.
6-10 s: gold lettering shimmers and a small robin lands on the frame.
Download the still for the print shop and the MP4 for messages; mail printed cards by early December and send clips up to Christmas Eve.
Print
Download still after Design the card, add the words in PhotoCraft and order 7x5 landscape prints. Christmas 2026 is Friday, December 25; mail printed cards in the first week of December so they arrive in time.
Send
Download MP4 after Animate it and send the clip by message or post it, up to Christmas Eve. It is landscape 16:9, so it plays full width on a phone held sideways and in chats.
Yes. Download the card face, keep every word inside the safe margin, and send the file to a print shop at 7x5. The landscape card has plain space on every side so trimming does not cut your names.
Where do I change the words?
In PhotoCraft. After Design the card, press Open in PhotoCraft, type your line and your names, move them inside the margin and export. The card face itself keeps a plain Merry Christmas.
Does it keep our faces?
The card is built around your photo, so faces and expressions stay recognisable. Use a sharp, front-lit photo with every face large; if a face drifts, press Rebuild still before you animate.
Can I use licensed characters?
No. Disney figures, the Grinch and other licensed characters belong to their owners. Use your own photo with original pine, ornaments, snowmen or reindeer, or upload up to two decoration pictures of your own.
How long is the moving card?
Ten seconds. The finished card face is the first frame, then snow falls, the people in the photo wave and a robin lands on the frame.
