what if I have a file that I bought from Etsy and would like to add names but cannot seem to get the name to show up cut out how do I do that?

Great video! I can't find that Kindred font in Canva or Creative Fabrica. Would you please tell us where you were able to get it, or buy it?

[@itslauralambert]

This was totally my mistake (I didn't think about it in advance!) but Kindred is a font i purchased. Here is where I got it: creativemarket.com/RachelKick/6544989-Kindred-Handlettered-Typeface?PPC_GOOG_Search_INT_GB_DSA_INT_Fonts_FontTypes&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-63BhC9ARIsAMMTLXQt1Rk1GzQxBIzw55yvpGa6ubpwtHGadPnQltcwKIEYZ0TPsggNdC8aAsSIEALw_wcB

Ok this is super helpful thank you. Can you use svg trace with PDF files? I have some I would like to convert for laser cutting.

[@itslauralambert]

ooooh im actually not sure! I've never tried it! I bet you would need to save it as a JPG or PNG first but you can do that by just opening the PDF and exporting it as a PNG!

Just wondering why you couldn't save your design as SVG in Canva instead of going through the conversion.

[@itslauralambert]

so you actually COULD do it this way, but i find that when i save an SVG directly from Canva, there are a TON of extra layers and things arent always placed right where they need to be. Going through the extra step really makes sure you have an SVG file with clean cut lines and no extra layers or cuts!

@itslauralambert oh okay! Thanks a bunch! 🙂
