Place your favorite guy in the jungle, turn him into a superhero or send him off to space. With so many background options, you can truly make a unique birthday card design for your dad.

3. Birthday Card Ideas for Mom

Our moms deserve tons of awards for being the number one in everything throughout our lives. But sometimes, they feel like they don't want to share a lot on social media because of how they have been aging. Although always beautiful, you can ensure she'll always look her best with retouch tools like "Removal" and "Portrait" for fast skin smoothing. Your mom will feel (and look) like her young self again in just a few taps!

4. Birthday Card Ideas With Customized Stickers

Do you have a particular friend that is obsessed with cats or emojis? Now you can create a card wishing them happy birthday by adding their cat and emojis with the "Cutout" tool! This tool will do wonders for your friends on their birthday cards, adjusting them with everything from animals to landscapes. You can decorate their card with as many things as you want. You can also use the "Cutout" tool to create stickers of them!

5. Birthday Card Ideas — Turn Images into Drawings

If you want a quick and easy way of showing your friend your new editing skills, this option will be the best way to show it. PhotoDirector can turn photos into sketches in seconds. The tool "Look" allows you to transform your image into an artistic painting. They will probably want to print it out and hang it.

6. Birthday Card Ideas — Flower Stickers

The flower aesthetic has been rising these past years, and it keeps giving. If you want to celebrate a friend's birthday with a detailed flower card, you can now easily do it with PhotoDirector by adding stickers to a photo. Add lilies, roses, lavender flowers, and more beautiful blooms with the "Stickers" feature on the app.

7. Birthday Card Ideas — Focus Attention on the Birthday Girl with Bokeh Effects

Make a timeless birthday card with a cinematic flare using bokeh effects. Look for the "Bokeh" effect on PhotoDirector and blur the background with cute bokeh shapes, so the birthday person stands out from the rest.

8. Birthday Card Ideas — Funny Text

This one is for the designated class clowns and those who love a good laugh. The best birthday cards need a punchline. Add any text to a photo with the "Text" feature, and easily change the color and font. Here are our favorite ones in case you need a little inspiration:

• What goes up but never comes down? Your age.
• What's a bee's favorite day of the year? Its bee-day.
• What do you say to your goldfish on his birthday? A: Have a fin-tastic day.
• Age is a relative thing. All my relatives keep reminding me how old I am.

9. Birthday Card Ideas — Keep Your Age a Secret

Sometimes reminding a person of their age might not be a good thing. With the "Mosaic" effect, you can now keep it a secret! Just remember not to mention it to anyone else. This is also a fantastic idea to turn any photo into a birthday party invitation. Your friends will just have to show up if they want to know how old you are.

10. Birthday Card Ideas — Add a Fairytale Background

We love being in the moment — but fantasizing about walking out from a frame seems like a perfect birthday idea. Thanks to the AI feature on PhotoDirector, you can now easily edit the image background with the help of the "Background Art" tool.
