Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by!

Today, let’s talk about summer, specifically your travel photos—and how you can turn them into stylish postcards right from your destination. All you need is:

• A photo from your trip
• Adobe Express

Let’s get started!

Step 1:
Open Adobe Express

In the search bar, type “Postcard” and click Search. Adobe Express will take you to a page where you can start building your travel postcard. You can begin with Templates, Photos, Videos, Backgrounds, or Design Assets—it all depends on your creative vision!

I personally like starting with Templates because it’s fast and gives me endless ways to customize. When I’m traveling, I want to send a postcard from the place I’m visiting—but I don’t want to spend too much time designing. I’d rather be out there making new memories! Starting with a template saves time while still letting me be creative.

To explore all available postcard templates, click “View All” to expand the library. You can also use filters on the left-hand side to narrow down your search. Find a template that matches your vibe. I chose a simple, slightly nostalgic one—just what I was looking for!

Click on any template you like, then select “Customize this Template.”

Step 2:
Customize Your Postcard

You’ll now be in the Template Customization Workspace, where the fun really begins.

Here’s what I did to customize mine:

• First, I clicked on the default image in the template and deleted it.

• Then, I clicked on the Media icon on the left, selected “Upload from device”, and chose my travel photo from my computer.

Next, I wanted to remove a plant handle from the image. Here’s how:

• Select the image and than Click “Remove Object” (left side of the screen).

• Use the brush tool to paint over the area you want to remove.

• Click “Remove”, and Adobe Express (powered by Adobe Firefly) will give you 3 generated variations.
• I picked the third one and clicked “Keep” to lock it in, then “Close” to exit the remove object workspace.

To crop the image into a fun shape:

• Double-click on the image to open the Crop workspace.
• I chose the second shape option, which gave my image a unique look.
• I then resized and slightly rotated it for a playful effect.

Step 3:
Add Design Elements

• I clicked on the word POSTCARD and, in the Edit panel, changed the color to green to match my image.

• Next, I went to the “Elements” workspace and selected “Design Assets.”
• In the search bar, I typed “leaves” and added a few leaf designs around my photo for a natural, tropical feel.

• I also searched “postcard stamp” and added one of those too!

• I deleted the extra text on the bottom right that I didn’t need.

Step 4:
Add Your Message

Using the Text Tool, I added a personal message to my postcard. I chose a handwriting-style font in dark brown to complement the warm, earthy design.

As a final touch, I searched for “brown frame” in the Design Assets area and added a frame that tied the whole look together beautifully. Using the Layers panel (on the right side of the screen), I repositioned the frame layer behind the image layer.

Done & Ready to Share!

And just like that—my postcard was ready! I could now download it, print it or share it right away.

Creating a postcard with Adobe Express is quick, easy, and fun. Best of all, you can share your favorite travel moments without spending too much of your valuable vacation time designing.

Enjoy your trip—and don’t forget to send those memories home in style! ✈️🌍💌
