This was so helpful !!! I had made so man designs using canva pro and did not know you cant edit for free !! Thank you Thank you !!

[@LyraLasala]

This is how tutorials should be. Thank you! No wasted time🎉

[@kayzane5887]

Of course!

[@susanlieberman1873]

Great video! Can you explain how you send the person who purchases the invitation the product (the link to edit)?

[@baileysaunderz3893]

yes i also need to know

[@ChristyGranger-b2d]

I think you have to make sure it's editable when you save it

[@ChristyGranger-b2d]

You have to download the link to give to others

[@vidabyvane256]

thank you for being quick and easy to follow🙌

[@kayzane5887]

glad I can help

[@nakeaann]

This was so easy to follow ❤

[@ahcurious]

Great Video! Right to the point.

Thank you very much!!! This was incredibly helpful! ✨️

[@tinajackson9763]

Thank you for a clear straight forward tutorial

[@Sourbeaut]

Thank you! I didn’t know that about Canva Pro. Still awesome. God bless you! ✝️🙏

super helpful! looking to get new income as a busy full time working mom

[@PacSalt_TeachMetoFish]

Hello, thank you so much! Quick question, after I turn my template into the PDF, the picture/link doesn't seem to be "clickable" or interactive on the PDF file for the client. I tried with a few different PDF viewers. Am I doing something wrong?

[@danielamarotto6578]

Love this tutorial!! Curious as to why you don't suggest the generic 5x7 invitation size?

[@Healtravel5323]

Really Man!! this Vid is so informative..with out wasting time on foolish loops again & again. Thanks for the Wonderful Video ❤

[@TayesPlay]

A year later… but this was BEYOND helpful, thank you !! How do you make some graphics/text NOT editable on the invitation for buyers?

[@kayzane5887]

You're welcome! I would make the design, delete the editable text boxes, download the design as a PNG, upload the PNG back into Canva (now it's just one flat design) and add back the text boxes.

[@rachelchapman9622]

Thank You so much for this video

[@keypine8]

Thank you for this video. I really thought it was harder than this. You rock!!! Hope your 2024 year is full of passive income ❤

[@hairsthescoop6513]

you said don’t use the pro feature for fonts and elements, but does that include the actual artwork I might want to place on the product as well?

[@berylyntey2983]

Very helpful. Thank you❤

[@popcorpdirendal]

Great video,thank you so much.

[@liwayway857]

Hi there, just a question since i watched this before I created my listing of 7 items 3 days ago. So i used a canva acc that is pro shared because i make 2 sizes of the same design but used all free elements then sent a copy to my personal acc. Is that okay or i am in danger? Also, when making mock ups, I am using my personal acc for the mock up but i use tye free version tyen just edit the photos, is that also okay?

[@AzjohnaeMarie]

Could you make a video on how to make the template this was too quick to watch in the beginning half

[@Jocelyncorona2323]

how do i make sure that no one can edit any of the effects on canva and only be able to edit the text?

[@SabrinaaSimone]

Thanks for this video. Only use free templates & front to sell on Etsy correct?

[@nurqistina1102]

Thank you for your sharing..

[@musliminyeni]

Thank you for the tutorial

You're welcome! ☺

[@vanajaalford4531]

❤❤❤thank you sooooooo much

[@madisonkillion3385]

This is so helpful-you are amazing! I have a quick question: are you intending for this design to be printed at 8.5"X11" once it it edited or was this example for customers who just want to edit/send out their invitations virtually? I want to try and make some invites that people can edit and then print, so I'm just wondering if I should make that art board a different size, like 5"X7" so that their prints can be proportional to the standard invitation size!

[@kayzane5887]

Hi! These are digital invites so for people who just want to send them virtually. For printed ones you should do 5x7 inches like you said!

[@madisonkillion3385]

@@kayzane5887 Thank you so much for the clarification!! You are the best!!

[@kayzane5887]

@@madisonkillion3385 You are very welcome! ☺

[@alexiejiggs628]

Hi there! Canva is resizing it to 5x7. Is that right? The 1080 x 1920 is to long. Awesome tutorial btw

[@MrsShahraizNaqvi]

Hi, you haven't filled all the options when you were adding product details to etsy shop? Can you explain it to me?

[@being_LissaJane]

If we use fonts that we uploaded ourselves, will the customer also have access to those fonts?

[@marionetzkie]

This is a great video! Can we use photos searched in google for our designs? Will we get copyright issues?

[@kayzane5887]

Only use stuff that clearly states it is royalty-free/commercial-use. I wouldn't just grab a random photo off Google.

[@chrischo1961]

@6:38 when you're coping the link, we need to make sure that 'anyone with this link can edit' option should be enabled.

[@kayzane5887]

If you share that link, customers will be editing your original design and you don't want that. Make sure you are sharing the template link!

[@carebear4554]

​@@kayzane5887 I'm so glad you clarified this. I was wondering how to keep people from messing it up for the next customer.

[@theANNAmaul]

Thank you for this tutorial! When you're designing your initial invitation, would you recommend using images that are JPEG or PNG files?

[@kayzane5887]

I usually use PNGs but either should be fine

[@vanessazawaski8451]

What if you asked the person, for the information ahead of time, then send them the file as a pdf to print ?

[@kayzane5887]

@@vanessazawaski8451 Like you want to do the personalization for them? You can add a personalization box for them to leave their details on Etsy. Def not as passive as sharing a template, but you could charge a little more

[@fabulouscreations1689]

@@kayzane5887 Yes I wanted to do something like this as well. Where I do the personalization for the customer. However, would the listing work the same way? Would I still list it as a digital? Thank you

[@Tri_Ong]

​@@fabulouscreations1689 afaik, yes, you would still list it as digital, but the date of creation is "made to order" as opposed to 2023

[@lydia5164]

Thanks for sharing. Question - when they click the template link to edit their own info into the invite, will they have access to canva pro to have access to different fonts etc? or will they literally only be able to change their names and words with that exact font you'd set up?

[@kayzane5887]

Hi! They do not need Canva Pro to be able to change fonts. If they don't have Canva Pro and they pick a premium font, they will have to pay to download though.

[@faith39]

I'm unable to upload my template design back into canva after downloading it to a PNG. I've tried countless things and it won't work. Is re-uploading it into Canva necessary? The error says upload error - the files you are trying to upload are not compatible or are corrupted. It's a PNG and i cannot get past this error.

[@baileysaunderz3893]

how do you create instructions on how to edit your template

[@CrochetCreateher]

Great video! How did you remove the hand if it's attached to the phone? Thanks

[@jjlovelovelovelove9266]

There was another phone image she uploaded on top of that one with the hand because her invitation couldn’t fit. She just happen to remove that one

[@CrochetCreateher]

@@jjlovelovelovelove9266 Thank you! I see

[@susanlieberman1873]

only free fonts, but can we use pro graphics?

[@baileysaunderz3893]

my link on the pdf doesnt work, it doesnt let me click on it

[@jackiecaudle9023]

Just to clarify, we are able to utilize the non-pro graphics/elements on canvas to add on our invites? For example a small graphic to elevate the invite template?

[@kayzane5887]

Yes you can!

[@AshleyCampbell-f9r]

Are you uploading the PDF files to the Etsy ad, not the PNG files? And then how do you actually send the buyer the file when they purchase it?

[@kayzane5887]

You upload the listing photos as PNGs and that PDF file I made with the template link is what you upload to Etsy. Customers will download it and click on the link to be taken to the template

[@candybaker7857]

Hi, do you change the collaboration link to "anyone with access can edit" when you go to download and copy the link?

[@kayzane5887]

Hey! Do not share the collaboration link. You should be sharing the template link.

[@alper5828]

Should the fonts we use in the design not be pro?

[@kayzane5887]

Yes, only use the free ones because not all of your customers will have Canva pro and will have to pay for the premium fonts.

[@bhavya_makhija]

Hey what to do if customer is not using canva pro ? As we are designing template in canva we have to use canva pro version but after purchase customer are disappointed as they are not using canva pro. Is there any alternative to canva in which customer do not have to buy any subscription?

[@kayzane5887]

You don’t need to use Canva pro to sell templates. I recommend not using any Pro fonts or elements so customers can with a free account.

[@jannatts4705]

Thank you do i need the pro vision to sell or not??

[@kayzane5887]

No you don't

[@bertaperez2622]

Hi what if i load other images on my canva, lets say from creative fabrica can i use those on invites i sell?

[@ChristyGranger-b2d]

I believe so but you have to have the paid membership to creative fabrica

[@CarolineDeVault]

I know you said not to use pro fonts but can you use pro graphics?

[@kayzane5887]

There are no legal issues with it but I still do not recommend it because not all customers will have a Canva Pro account and will have to pay for each Pro element you use...they won't be happy!

[@sail0rsdelight]

Silly question, but can the same link be used for different customers, and it will just link them to the original template not one another customer has changed? Thanks heaps

[@kayzane5887]

Not a silly question! Since you are sharing the template link, each customer will get an unaltered copy of your original design

[@iJuicy_xo]

I sell some digital invites on Etsy and what I’ve been having a problem with is when someone buys the same digital invitation when they go edit they can see the last person who brought and edit how can you avoid this?

[@kayzane5887]

You are sharing the wrong link with them. Make sure you are sharing the template link.

[@alexcush8676]

sorry to jump on this but can I ask - when you're uploading the file to Etsy - do you only upload the Template file then and not the original invitation file? TIA Any help would be appreciated@@kayzane5887

[@divinediamtarot]

Hey I came to ask this same question. I had this issue yesterday I shared the template link and it change the design for the next person. Could there be another reason for this error?

[@selinpertin]

When i share with the customer it asks for pro plan cause the desing includes pro elements

[@kayzane5887]

You should go in and remove all the Pro elements from your design

[@MrsShahraizNaqvi]

Hi

[@vikingwarriorinfo]

how does the customer change the dates or whatever else they need to change? Do they do that in Canva?

[@kayzane5887]

They will be able to edit it on Canva since you're sharing the template link with them

[@brookecambern722]

@@kayzane5887 so if you don't share the link other people cannot use it?
