Ruby Postcards

Our Templates — All of the Hands-On templates are meticulously designed by Emma and Chelsea. Our designs are fully-customizable, meaning you can edit the text, colors, graphics, and photography without any limitations. We provide a wide variety of design layouts for each project, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your content or print multiple versions. All designs are provided in color and black and white, so you can start with whichever set of files you're most comfortable working with. All of our templates are designed and must be edited in Adobe Illustrator, so we recommend you have a basic working knowledge of the program to use our templates. ( For example: editing text in a text box, changing a color, drawing a rectangle. )
