I love postcards! I love collecting them, sending them and receiving. But they are hard to find these days. So I bought a kit from Amazon with adhesive templates for making my own postcards.
I’ve been using my own photographs to create a series of Weekend Exploring postcards, which I share each Friday. So I thought it would be fun to use those digital postcards to create actual postcards I can put in the snail mail. I used Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper, which looks amazing on my Epson Artison 1430 printer.
Here’s how to make them yourself:
- Print two postcards per page.
- Trim them to 6″ wide by 4″ high.
- Peel off the top part of the adhesive postcard back.
- Align it with the top of the photograph.
- Finger-press the top edge to secure.
- Peel the rest of the adhesive off, and finger-press the rest of the template to seal the photo and eliminate any bubbles or creases.
It’s a great excuse for taking more photos and improving my photography skills. I can already tell making my own postcards is going to be addicting!

This is awesome. I need some of these supplies too. Postcards ARE hard to find!!
I don’t know when postcards started to become extinct. Probably when email and texting got so popular. The adhesive sheets from Amazon work really well to make your own.
