★ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Have you used Canva for your business or KZbin channel? If not, YOU NEED TO! I love using Canva to create KZbin thumbnails, channel art, and more - but there's so much more you can do! In this beginner-friendly Canva tutorial video, I'll first explain, What is Canva? Canva is a free online design website and app that small businesses (really anyone) can use for all their social media and digital marketing needs. I use Canva to create graphics for my Instagram, KZbin, Facebook, Blog, Newsletters, and more. My business is highly visual, so Canva helps me with everything from basic graphic design, to interactive business cards like I'll showing this video.
After watching, you'll be able to use Canva to create any digital designs or graphics your business needs. This will also help content creators use Canva to level up their business. Let me know if you have more questions about how to design with Canva for free and I'll make more videos for you!

@Angela G Hey Angela! I don't make a ton of labels in Canva, however I wonder if it's part of the template you're using? Are the lines part of the background? I'd try two things: First right-click the background and select "detach from background" and see if that does it. Then if that doesn't work, try to unselect the option to add bleeds/print marks on your export. I hope those help!

[@jacquelinesmith3450]

Ditto!

[@shinehead69uk]

For a 10-minute video, you covered a lot of useful and interesting info and you did it at a perfect pace for a total newbie. Great tutorial! 😎

@@Whiskeyandwhit Thanks quick question around 6:45, why did you click the Mkre button to get to the QR CODE when there js a button right above that says QR code..don't they take you to the same place or no? And is this the free version of Canva? Because in mine t doesn't show the Mkre button at all I the left menu nor the QR code hitton..I had to click the Apps button to then scroll through to find the QR code button..just wondering..thanks for sharing

I created an account after your last Canva video. I have recently started a business and have been working on a logo in Canva. The business card idea was great and I will definitely be checking that out. Thank you for these! Keep them coming!

WOW, you're the first tutorial that doesn't glaze me over, but makes me get excited to start designing my website!!!! THANK YOU, you have a new subscriber!!!!

[@tanyacorey8641]

OMG i have just started an Embroidery business. and i looked at Canvas and thought. it was to hard to do, as i have Dyslexia. but after watching your video i think i might be able to design my own templates and business cards. love how you put the scan. code on the back of your business cards for people to go straight to your site. thank you so much. have a follow here for life lol.

[@nancytoledo8039]

Thank you so much for covering the basics--quite a bit, in fact. This is plenty of information to get started.

[@almasmith3271]

It took me almost 2 years to learn how to use my Cricut! It looks like it may take me that long to use Canva! You make it look so easy and may try it when everyone is gone to try. I enjoy watching you and you explain your steps in a clear and concise manner. Thank you.

Hey Alma! As long as you're enjoying the learning process, take as much time as you need to learn. I hope you enjoy your foray into designing with Canva :)

This short video did exactly what I needed it to do: Explained what Canva is, how it works, gave me some tricks to try when I start using it, and even gave me some ideas about how to use it to make money. Honestly, I was surprised as this was the first video I watched to get this information and expected to watch 5-10 to get the information I needed. Thank you for this.

I absolutely LOVE Canva. I use it for so much. Thank you for your video. I love learning even more tips and tricks. ❤️

[@cbkqmom]

THANK YOU! I downloaded Canva because I needed to make a flyer- it’s on my iPad and it was so freaking confusing! Trying to even add text was a nightmare- because of the pencil, there was no keyboard and it would only do one letter at a time- VERTICALLY! lol, I finally closed it and decided to come to KZbin for some instruction. As usual- the pc version looks much easier 😂 Thanks again!

[@Whiskeyandwhit]

I would agree, I prefer the desktop version to the app :)

Desktop version is easier

Have you ever done a start to finish step by step to create an online presence for small business? Or do you know of any resources that might teach this old/young dog new tricks! Trying to not lose my sense of humor! Haha I am grateful for any and all tips and recommendations! Thanks Whitney!💚

I've made one-sided Birthday card/Gift bag tags on Canva, once I get what I wanted, I'd print & laminate, then use a nice ribbon to tie to the strap of the bag. I don't know why I didn't think of it until now but this is how I'll be labeling Christmas gifts come December...

For my science project.I l love your videos,and it was very helpful for me as a beginner

I didnt see a free option. It only gave me a 1 month free trial. But, it took my paypal info first. All I want to do is take images, like people do and add music and words and little video scribbles on them... like I see people do all over social media. But, everytime I go searching for how to... a million things pop up, all seemingly useless... and i swear... I just get burned out while spinning my wheels. Anyone else get eye fatigue all the time too from looking at the internet? I'm turning 48... I dont know what is happening to my attention span or my eye sight. I am UTTERLY frustrated.
