SetupFind a reference card you like

Go to Etsy or Pinterest and search "birthday card." Screenshot the ones with a style, illustration, or layout you want to recreate. Etsy's bestseller listings are a goldmine here — they're already proven to sell.

SetupOpen ChatGPT and attach your reference image

Go to ChatGPT and upload the screenshot alongside the prompt below. If your screenshot has multiple cards in it (like a search results grid), the prompt below tells ChatGPT to isolate only the one you want and ignore the rest.

PromptPaste the prompt

Use the exact prompt in the box below. It's written to produce a flat, print-ready card — not a mockup, not a photo of someone holding it, and not a mix of multiple reference designs.

SetupDownload and sell

Once ChatGPT generates the card, download the image and list it as a digital download on Etsy, or print physical copies to sell on Amazon/Instagram. One design can become a template for dozens of variations — just swap the occasion, name, or color palette.
