[@SandraDi]

Thanks for watching guys!! Let me know if you have any questions on this printable affirmation cards tutorial below! 👇

[@clarainyang7526]

Hi Sandra, I like your amazing videos and how well you explain them. I have being watching your videos (and i practice on each video I watch); in last 3weeks plus and other similar ones. I do have a questions: (a) what do I do when I have 2 or 3 pages designs, in a canva file, when I click to save on jpg, it save as a zipped file automatically but I don't see it saves understand Microsoft file save section? (b) on Koji (I want to create an account on it); what is the minimum or maximum listings one can post or publish or sell at a time?

[@clarainyang7526]

Oh! One more question, I did finally sign up for Canva pro free trail for 30th on December 8th(because I have being using the free version all this while to practice) can I sell any work I have done even though I am using their free trial?

[@SandraDi]

@@clarainyang7526 Yes absolutely you can!

[@SandraDi]

@@clarainyang7526 sorry I am a little confused with the question - can you clarify? :)

[@clarainyang7526]

@@SandraDi thanks for replying so fast. You answer my question about selling 😊. The the question with (a) & (b) . I figure the (a), question, I download each page individually as a jpg size (I hope am right). So, can you answer the (b) question, what is the minimum or maximum listings one can post or sell on Koji ? Thanks!

Hey Sandra! I love your videos! Quick question, so when using words while creating things such as affirmation cards and inspirational wall art do we have to have commercial licensing or any legal permissions for the phrases we use? and how would we know what phrases are acceptable or not? Thanks!

[@anastasiiadm9051]

Hello . Thank you very much for the great video. Please tell me if it is relevant to start such a business selling printed materials in Сanva for Etsy? Surely there is a lot of competition? I've never done it, but I really like it

[@chinwendumanagwu8546]

How did you change the colored box to the dotted lines pls . When I changed the colors of mine to white they all just turned white without the border line

[@karenmillstraining]

Brilliant tutorial thank you.

[@davehconner]

When I use the same template as you did, and I resize the file the same as you did, two sets of dotted line border rectangles appear on my template, but not on yours. What do these dotted line rectangles represent, and why are they on my template, but not on yours?

[@Anonymous-gf5gl]

Hey Sandra I just wanted to ask, under normal shop startup, How many Listings should you have initially to get your first sale

[@bosslifebeauty]

If you are very niched you can start with one page worth, I sold items in my first month on Etsy with only 12 listings. It really depends on your niche and product for example, digital downloads, print on demand or handmade, and your niche or sub-niche. Just start, it will work itself out with experience.

[@michellewirangi3399]

I sold a listing on week 3 after uploading just one product

[@purplexpiggy]

Do you have any tips on coming up with the affirmations or do you have a resource on where you get them? I want to make sure the words are use can be commercial use

[@athinantouka5653]

Hello Sandra i was looking how to make affirmations cards as i am into this a lot and i start using your tutorial to create and i stuck because the eycalyptous has inside words and i cant take it out and the water colour i cant find it ,in the research i make in canvas .Is my first time i am doing this .Thank you

[@spice313200]

Hi Sandra, loving your videos, so inspiring. I've made some cards, but the file come up too big for ETSY upload. How do i resize without losing the quality. I broke the file into two to try and bring down the size but they still come up with 24KB and 36KB. what do i do? please help????

Hello Sandra, thank you for all your videos, I have started my Etsy business because of you! I have a quick question, do you know of any website that prints and ships on-demand affirmation cards? I have been looking and I haven't found anything that gives me the on-demand option with an automatic connection to my Etsy store. :/

[@cherrlyn381]

Excellent tutorial. I've been wanting to make Affirmation cards as a giveaway to go with my book of 101 affirmations.

[@SandraDi]

That's a great idea! :)

[@NatashaCollier-i5t]

Thankyou for such a detailed tutorial. I have a question about the file size. I made some affirmations and when I try to upload them onto Etsy, the file size is way to big. What is the best way to get around this that is still buyer friendly and doesn't lower the quality of the finished product?

[@jowils7325]

what kind of paper would I use to print these

[@margievanhandel259]

Hello Sandra. Can you advise why I might be having issues with my uploaded images disappearing from the uploaded images section, and also random images becoming invisible on a page, even though they show in that page's layers panel? I seem to keep designing and when I come back to a page, something seems to have been dropped. I thought if I'd lock the page I might prevent this from happening, but things just seem to keep disappearing here and there.... ? Thanks

[@chelseaulloa4613]

Question please. How do you determine the dimensions of the flash cards?

[@adrianconstance6887]

lovely video, quick question how do you know the size of each card?

[@RelaxingMusic-yz1gk]

Hi,I love your videos. I really wanted to start an etsy shop selling printables. Do I need any business license for selling digital printables? Thanks.

[@SandraDi]

you don't need it to get started but I do recommend having one eventually :)

[@lisajoseph2300]

Thanks so much for sharing!! Would you use this same process if you were actually printing this as a deck and selling the deck not as a digital product?

[@afafkhaji5132]

Such a great and enjoyable video as always , well done Sandra 👏 🥰

[@SandraDi]

Yayy thank you!

[@bloominghearts]

I have the Canva pro account, but I noticed that you always get your graphics and fonts from other websites like creative market. Is this because we are not allowed to use any of the Canva graphics in any printables that we want to create? I’ve been a little bit confused about this. I thought we could use the free graphics as long as we make it into our own final design (if that makes sense). I know pro content is prohibited, but I thought we could use the free graphics and fonts in canva. If you could give me some clarity on this, that would be amazing!

[@SandraDi]

You can definitely use their free elements as long as you are adding more elements and fonts to it so that you are changing the original design! I personally like to keep it safe and own a commercial license to everything I use :)

[@bloominghearts]

Oh, okay got it, thank you so much for your reply! I have been in touch with their support team, and yes, we can use the free graphics as long as they are not standalone, and have been made into our own design. About the fonts, I’m still a little confused, 😅because you have another video where you said that we always have to check on Google if they are allowed for commercial use, but their support team is telling me that we can use any of them for commercial use. This is what they sent me: As for using fonts, we can confirm that the fonts available to you in Canva are within the scope of our license agreement. You may use them for any of the permitted uses listed in Canva’s Content License Agreement. You don't need to worry as all our fonts can be used for commercial purposes unless stated otherwise during publishing. Note that unless you see a pop-up that states when a particular font can't be used for commercial purposes, you're good to go. If you never encountered this, you shouldn't run into any issues.

[@debbiebryan2333]

If I use anything in canva pro will the buyer have any issues downloading the file. I have pro but I don’t want the buyer to have to buy pro in order to print my designs

[@sydneyedwardsx]

[@haraseeskaur3049]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you’re doing a great job and just had a quick question. I heard that starting an etsy store for affirmation cards is not profitable which means that I wont be able to generate enough sales and income. Is it true?

[@lululemonbar9110]

I’m new to selling on Etsy etc. I want to know what’s stopping people from just printing from the example pic or just copying the same affirmation and doing their own? I ask because I think I saw a video of someone doing it.

[@SandraDi]

When you save the image, it won't be as high quality if they just try to screenshot. Also they can definitely make it their own! But they'll just spend a lot of their time doing it lol

[@karenbennett187]

Hi Sandra, I’ve been watching your KZbin videos recently and I’ve learned so much. You responded to a comment I made about my 60-year-old butt finally getting in gear and wanting to open an Etsy shop of my own. I suffer from anxiety and depression and getting motivated is very hard. But I started playing around with affirmation cards and was hoping to get your opinion. Are these too flashy for cards? I made them 2x3 inches. Should they be square instead? (I don’t think I can upload the images here, but they are in the Etsy message I sent.) Thanks so much for all the incredible information you share on your channel. It’s much appreciated.

[@SandraDi]

Hi Karen! I'm so glad you are feeling motivated to create new cards for your shop and I'm super excited for you! Currently I don't offer Etsy shop reviews by my advice is to always look at a listing as a "test". Everyone has different tastes and opinions and the best way to find out if they are too "flashy" is to see how it performs! Give it some time and see if it receives favorites and sales :) Good luck!!
