Amazing! I learned something about Illustrator and Canva at the same time. Thank you for posting!

Thank you, i really like your teaching sytle! Do you know how to make custom doodle font frames for canva? im struggling with all the layers of letters and squiggles when i import them into canva, it just becomes a mess. Can you please make a video if youre familiar with it please?

Hi, Thankyou for the great tutorial. I followed everything what you did on this video but when i put it on canva, cliping mask area(frame) just turned nomal image. I imported my pdf file, not uploaded. I really want to make my own frame with additional picture around. However, it works without additional picture around the frame like you can make in powerpoint. Do you have any solution for it? Thank you.

Is there any way you can show how you did the letters? - This is the only reason I clicked and watched the video - it's showed in the thumbnail but no mention how to do this

I'm sorry to hear this. I usually use Powerpoint, but wanted to do some extra things and just did it many times with Illustrator and it is importing into Canva just fine. Did you export it as a PDF from the Asset Manager in Illustrator, then IMPORT into Canva? You have to import it, you cannot use the UPLOAD in Canva as that never works for PDF files.

I just tried and it didnt work. I want a basic 5x7 rectangle

Interestingly, and rather bizarrely, this technique DOESN'T work with regular rectangles. It works with polygons, and I bet it would work with ovals and circles, and it certainly worked with your rounded rectangle with a wart on top, but if you follow your same procedure with just a regular rectangle and no wart on top, it doesn't work at all. Certainly when you go look at the layers in Canva they don't look the same as they did in your example. And it doesn't behave like a frame. Interestingly, there are similar examples to your Illustrator one except in Photoshop, and exactly the same thing happens. Rectangles just don't work. And, wouldn't you know, specifically -sized rectangles with unusual aspect ratios are the only thing I want to make custom frames out of. Screwed again.
