Thank you so much. This helped a lot. I love planner stickers and can now make my own. I love your stickers.

Hi Charlotte 👋 I'm so glad you found this helpful! I love planner stickers too 😉 They really are super fun to make and being able to customize them to exactly suit your needs makes them even better. I'm glad you liked my stickers. I typically create mine in themes and use some of my favorite graphics. It just starts my day on a pretty and happy tone. Feel free to post any questions and I'll be glad to help. 💙

Where do you get your beautiful palettes that I see in your Canva account?

[@thecanvanerd]

Thank you so much! I get my graphics from Creative Fabrica and make a lot of my own things. 💙

[@alisplace2211]

Very informative! Thank you! New subscriber :) I wondered what you use to create your own graphics? Are you a fan of procreate or illustrator or something else? Thank you!

[@thecanvanerd]

If I can’t create in Canva I purchase them and Creative Fabrica is always my go-to. I’d say my graphics collection is probably somewhere around 2k now. Thanks for watching and subscribing! 🫶

[@alisplace2211]

@@thecanvanerd Awesome. I'm fairly good on the social media design through canva, but new to creating graphics and so on. Glad to know a) I can learn to create a lot in there, b) source graphics on a commercial licence elsewhere! :)

[@thecanvanerd]

@@alisplace2211 that’s definitely a great thing about Creative Fabrica, that commercial license 😉

[@notabolished1331]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Please if you want to sell them, while file format should you use to download and sell?

[@thecanvanerd]

Thank you so much and I'm so glad you found this helpful! I put my digital downloads into a zip folder of high resolution jpeg's and/or a PDF file. The issue with the PDF file is that it usually will need to be compressed but there are multiple sites on line to do that. I personally use Small PDF to compress my PDFs. I hope this helps 🙂 Please let me know if you have any other questions.

[@notabolished1331]

@@thecanvanerd Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Very much appreciated. I'm still a little confused please. Will the files be downloaded as pdf, PNG, jpeg? Then zipped together? Or is it possible to download them directly from Canva as zipped file? I would really loved to see how the digital stickers are being used live. My fear is that after downloading these files, the images will form one image you cannot move. Please I'm really new to this. Don't be offended by my petty questions. Thank you very much in advance

[@thecanvanerd]

@@notabolished1331 not offended at all my friend 😊When you download from Canva as a jpeg or png each sheet is an image if you download as a pdf it's all one file. I'm not sure what you mean by forming one image you cannot move because once you download them you can't move the images around. I'll see if I can't put together a video for you real quick to help explain it. 🙂

[@thecanvanerd]

@@notabolished1331 it might take a day or two to get a video together to show you this because I'm in the process of doing courses right at a holiday so be patient and check back ;)

[@notabolished1331]

@@thecanvanerd Oh woooooooow!!!!! How considerate of you to think of making an additional video just to help me understand. I can't thank you enough. Thanks a million. To make myself clearer, when you open this pdf file on a note app, will you be able to move, displace and use individual stickers? I would like to see how you use these stickers, either on your digital planner or digital journal, Please. You are really kind to make this offer. I can't wait. Will be checking your channel for this video. Thank you very much.

[@spreadkillersandfantasysuc5232]

what template are you using docs or whiteboard, etc.?

[@thecanvanerd]

I don't usually use a template but create my own and for the stickers I typically create an 8.5"x11" design so that when it's printed, it can be printed on regular paper at home. Hope that helps.

[@Heytherebeautiful]

So if I wanted to make a sticker with like say a Bible verse but add a animal print design around it. Can I make that in Canva in I’m going to sell it . Or how do I get different backgrounds cuz I want to make all my stickers basically words and postive phrases with different backgrounds

[@thesoutherncamellia7411]

Where do you get your designs to sell the stickers?

[@thecanvanerd]

I get my graphics at either Creative Fabrica (there's a link in the description), Etsy, and the Hungry Jpeg, or I make my own. Creative Market is another place to get graphics and fonts too but really, my favorite is Creative Fabrica. 😊

[@alisplace2211]

This is what I wondered as well :) thanks for an informative video and clear response to this question :)

[@truella1305]

Hi Willow. New subscriber here. Thank you for all the information you provide, it is really useful. One question, if I may: how do you know that an image is free (9:43) in Canva?

[@thecanvanerd]

Hi Truella 👋 Elements in Canva that are free do not have a crown in the lower right corner. If it has a crown it's a Pro Element. Hope that helps and if you have anymore questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for subscribing! I'm so glad to have you here. 💙

[@scarter4728]

This is super helpful, thank you! When you buy the sticker sheet directly from Canva, I think they only allow one repeating design on a sheet - is that still true? And they're kind of expensive. How do you print out sticker sheets? Thanks!

[@thecanvanerd]

I'm so glad you found this helpful! 💙 To print your stickers at home you need to get sticker paper. I order mine from Amazon and you can all different kinds of sticker paper. The sticker paper works just like the regular paper in the printer but it has backing on it that you peel off and then you have a sticker. Here's a link to the sticker paper I order most often: a.co/aQ5RkA2 (this is not an affiliate link) If you did order from Canva, I'm not aware of any rule about only allowing one repeating design. I've ordered from them before just to test it out and didn't have any issue with repeating the design so I wouldn't worry about that's the route you want to try out. I will say that it is definitely less expensive to order sticker paper and print your own. 😉 Thank you so very much for watching and your comment!! I really do appreciate it and hope you'll come back often. 💙🌸

Quick question, when downloading as an SVG, do I choose the transparent background option in Canva?

[@thecanvanerd]

Ohhh great question! For stickers I would download them with a transparent background.

[@mommyandky]

@@thecanvanerd Thank you! Do I need to change the background from light gray back to white also for svg? I gave each image a white border.

[@thecanvanerd]

@@mommyandky are you using them for digital stickers that are animated? If yes, then I would change the background to white and download with a transparent background. If it's not for an animated digital sticker but one you'll be printing and cutting out then I would go with a white background and download it as a PNG with a transparent background. SVG's don't typically print as well as a PNG. PNG's aren't as scalable like the SVG but they are better for printing. If it's for a digital item that you will want to be able to change the size without it becoming pixelated or blurry then SVG is the way to go. I've downloaded both with a light gray background but set it to transparent and the gray didn't affect anything but if I download as transparent then I go with the white to be safe. Hope that helps! 😊😊

[@mommyandky]

@@thecanvanerd just starting to get into doing stickers. I have them designed but want to ensure I am offering the proper file types for a good product offering. :) I created each sticker with a white border onto a gray art board. I am unsure what to actually upload for the client on Etsy - all the individual pngs? The PDF and PNG of the actual sticker sheet with gray background so that the individual stickers stand out? Or with the background changed to white (and transparent)? P.S. I SO APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

[@thecanvanerd]

@@mommyandky oooohhh this is awesome! I have some stickers in my shop too and what I do is download them in high-resolution jpeg in one sheet with a very, very light background - just enough to clearly see the white border. Then upload the sheet or sheets in a zip folder to Etsy for the customer's download. I do it this way so they get more bang for their buck with a whole sheet of stickers instead of just individual stickers and when they print it on white sticker paper they can clearly see the white borders to cut their stickers out. I will say though that there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing one sticker at a time if they are on a larger scale or you could put the one sticker on a sheet in multiple sizes. That's 100% seller preference and you can try it a couple of different ways to see what resonates with your customers. 😊 Please ask away! I'm really glad to help and wish you the best of luck.🥰🥰 I think one of the best feelings is hearing the little cha-ching from Etsy multiple times a day. 🤣💲🥰
