- Want to create your own custom frames in Canva? Well this is the video for you. In this video I share little known trick that allows you to create Canva frames from any SVG, or solid filled vector.
To do this you’ll need a Canva account (free or paid) as well as access to PowerPoint. In the video I also use Silhouette Studio, but it is not a necessity.
Wow, what a super video! Thanks for sharing the inside scoop on how to do this. I've been video hopping, including yours and several others, to master this method. Guess what? I've pinged Canva with a feature request. Some of these steps are a bit long-winded, and I reckon Canva could add some turbo to our design journeys. Here's what I shot over to them:
- Why not have an in-app magic carpet for our files? This way, we won't need to shuttle them through the web, and Canva could emulate the process in a jiffy.
- How about an automatic switcheroo for black colors into custom frame shapes?
There's a mountain of guides on how to craft custom frame shapes and the like. These popular tasks should be a cinch with built-in Canva features. It's a bit of a detour to have to download and then re-upload files, just to keep the Canva vibe going.
Yes!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you. I learned a lot 🌷
I am curious if you can help me. I made letters into SVGs and followed all your same steps, but when I upload my images into canva and do the "delete step, it deletes everything. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
I will try to explain as best as possible. I have noticed the same issue with some svgs. To fix the problem I trace the svg in silhouette studio and save and use the traced image. That has been my only work around and it always works. I hope this helps.
Thanks you so much! I have just found your channel and subscribed, I learned so much from you in this video and you explained it so well and thoroughly!!! I am working on a design that I want to add a trace to the letters. I am trying to add an offset in silhouette studio, but am so new to this and want to make sure I am doing it right. Do you have a video on how to do this? It basically like you did with the letters, but with the black or any color trace around it. I would appreciate any help...again thanks and I look forward to more videos from you!!
I don’t have a video for that yet but I can get one done. Do you want to know anything else about silhouette studio? I will be glad to add it as well. Glad that you are enjoying the content so far.
@simplyjazibydesign I do actually and struggle with it a lot. I want to learn how to create custom SVGs, make the fonts thicker, creating new fonts, adding fonts, tracing and detaching and sizing. Do you cut from silhouette to a cameo? If so, cutting, calibration, etc. Sorry, I have so many ideas. I have been slowly creating content myself and think of these things myself. I am so new to it all so I get stuck at times.
@@simplyjazibydesign thanks for taking the time to ask...it matters to be successful - to motive and inspire others!
Thank you so much !
Thank you so so much!!
I am not able to find the "convert to shape" option on powerpoint, on right click or on ribbon! What am i missing?
Is your picture an svg? How did you convert to an svg? I have noticed with some files I have to trace them in silhouette studio and save the traced design as an svg before proceeding.
Does it require a paid subscription to use powerpoint fill/shape option.. I don't see it on my canvas toolbar?
I am not positive. I am still using the version that came with my laptop when I upgraded, but I don’t currently subscribe to office. It may differ depending on what version you have. Do you have any fill options?
Is there a way do this without using 3-4 different softwares?
The silhouette studio step s not a necessity. If you have a simple svg or vector file you can take it to power point and create the frame. The main thing is having the original file in svg format.
Is there a way to do it without powerpoint?
I haven’t found another way yet but I am still trying to find an easier way.
Wow 30 minutes to create a frame.
Alot has changed since then. I am excited to update the video in the upcoming weeks
