Send a photo of someone you love and a short voice recording. Nama's workshop turns them into a one-of-a-kind 3D animated video message — for birthdays, holidays, or just because you're miles apart.
Three simple steps. If you can text a photo and leave a voicemail, you can send a Cartooned with Love.
Any clear photo of your loved one, and a short recording of your message — straight from your phone. We'll show you exactly how.
Your person becomes a 3D cartoon character — speaking your message in the real recorded voice you send, in a scene made for the occasion.
A finished video file — an MP4, delivered through your Etsy messages — ready to send on to whoever needs a smile, and keep forever. No apps, no accounts, no fuss.
Every video starts with an actual photo of someone you love — not a description, not a guess. Nama's workshop turns that real photo into a full 3D animated movie style character — same person, same spirit, now telling your message.
A clear photo of your loved one — that's the whole starting point. No filters, no touch-ups, no editing. Just them, just as they are.
Nama's workshop turns that same photo into a full 3D animated movie style character — same face, same smile, same person, just drawn with a little Nama magic.
Here's exactly the kind of little video that lands in your inbox — one for every occasion.
The card that sings back — in your voice.
Just because someone crossed your mind.
When you can't be there in person.
For every proud, big-news moment.
Same party — starring the real you, now telling the story.
A face they know, thinking of them.
By the fire, just like she remembers you.
And yes — that's Kellie's real voice.
A note on these samples: some use a real recorded voice and some use an honest AI-cloned voice — we'll always tell you which. When you order, you choose: send us your loved one's real recorded voice, or let us gently clone a voice from a short sample. Either way, you'll always know exactly how your video was made.
One personalized talking-cartoon video, made to order just for you. $49, ready in 5–7 business days, captions included — and your photo and recording are deleted 30 days after delivery. The shop is open.

Behind this cartoon is a real grandmother in a real Minnesota studio — a retired jack-of-all-trades who spent a lifetime making things, and now makes video magic with the help of AI. Yes, AI — openly and proudly. Every video is set up, checked, and finished by these two human hands, with a whole lot of love in between. I started this because a voice saying "I love you" beats a paper card every single time — especially for those of us whose hands don't write like they used to.
The questions we hear most, answered straight.
Easier than you think! On iPhone, open the built-in Voice Memos app, tap the red button, talk, tap stop. On Android, look for Recorder or Voice Recorder. Twenty seconds of talking from the heart is all we need — and we'll send you friendly instructions with every order.
Whichever real voice you send. Record the message yourself, or send us a recording of your loved one — the cartoon speaks that exact recording. Prefer a gentle AI voice instead? Just ask. Either way, we always tell you exactly how your video was made.
A clear, front-facing photo where we can see the face well — the kind you'd frame. Phone photos are perfect. If a photo won't work well, we'll tell you before we start, not after.
Yes — proudly and openly. AI tools do the animating; a real grandmother does the caring. Every video is personally set up, quality-checked, and finished by hand. We believe in being honest about how the magic works. It's kind of our whole thing.
$49 for one beautiful 30–60 second video — there is nothing else to buy. You get a finished MP4 file delivered through your Etsy messages, yours to keep, forward, and post anywhere. Captions are always included, so anyone can enjoy it whether or not they can hear it.
Please allow 5–7 business days from the moment we have your photo and voice recording. Good things come from unhurried workshops.
Yes! Dogs, cats, or whoever else has your whole heart — there's a separate pet listing, and the price is the same $49.
Your photo and recording are used for one thing only: making your video. We never sell or share them, and we delete them 30 days after your video is delivered — that's a promise, not a policy footnote. The full plain-English version is in our privacy policy.
Kellie — "Nama" — a grandmother in Minnesota. Every video is made by hand, one at a time, not by a studio.
