Ardyth, if you can believe it, I am just now catching up on CZcams after so many months of health challenges! Such bad form... but I have been very limited in what I can do... ugh. Thanks so much for your kind comment. I truly appreciate it so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Whatever works for you! In my dreams I would like to include a printable of all of the instructions, but I just don't have the time right now... feel free to contact me if you have any questions, okay? ❤️
Thanks so much for this feedback, Cary. Yes, I find that there are a lot of assumptions out there in many tutorials, and the speed that the presenters use to go through new principles can be kind of overwhelming! I really appreciate your comment so much. Thanks. :-)
Thanks for leaving a comment! I'm so sorry for the late response. I've had to take 4 months off due to some health challenges & I'm trying to catch up!
Thank. You so much. I will have to look at each video a few times to get things memorized. I created a few projects for my daughter’s wedding last week-end and they turn out well.
Awesome! Just take it one step at a time. I'm so sorry for the late reply. I've had to take time off due to some health challenges, so I'm trying to catch up! I'll be adding more Canva tutorials soon...😊
LOL! I hope you will work your way through this whole series. There are 6 tutorials so far, with many others planned. My health challenges have set me back a bit, and between presenting at the Card Maker Success Summit next week, and my grandkids coming for 10 days later this month, I probably won't get to #7 and beyond until September. But they're coming! 😊
You're welcome, Terry. I am so very sorry for this horribly late response. I am still trying to catch up after taking several months off due to some health challenges. I hope you've had a chance to watch the rest of my Canva for Card Makers series by now! I hope to start posting new tutorials on a regular basis soon...
Thanks so much for your kind comment! I am so very sorry for this horribly late response. I am still trying to catch up after taking several months off due to some health challenges.
I'm so glad you liked it, June! I'm afraid I had a minor accident and am fighting concussion symptoms, but the next couple of tutorials are in the works as I feel better! :-)
Oh my gosh, Carol, thanks so much for your kind comment! I am so very sorry for this horribly late response. I am still trying to catch up after taking several months off due to health challenges.❤️
Thank you for a really great tutorial, Sande! One can see that you put a lot of work and love into it, and it's a pleasure to watch! Here's looking forward to the rest of the series.
I hope you are enjoying them! I had to take 4 months off for some health challenges, so I'm just catching up. I hope to be churning out more Canva tutorials on a regular basis soon! ❤️
Love your videos, so thorough and easy to follow. Would love for you to explain how to create a round sticker for snail mail. Thanks so much for your wonderful teachings. Judy
THANKS so much for your comment! I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I have been facing some health challenges that have kept me behind and behinder these days... I will definitely be making a tutorial on stickers soon. Keep watching! In the meantime I have 6 Canva tutorials so far, plus 3 that share specialized hidden alphabets. I hope you enjoy them. ❤️
@@sandespoema Not a problem about the late reply. I just found your channel, I so enjoy your videos! I wish more would explain things as well as you do. I hope you are feeling better. take care~ Judy
Susan, I am so very sorry for this horribly late response. As you probably know, I am still trying to catch up after taking several months off due to some health challenges.I hope you've tried working with Canva much more since you wrote this kind comment! Thanks for being in my FB group & posting your cards! ❤️
Finally had time to watch this tutorial. I do think I will have to watch this a few times to grasp it all. Love that you included the time stamps. You are the greatest Sande!
Oh Carolyn, you are so sweet! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to respond to you. I feel like I'm just continually playing catch-up! I just posted Tutorial #3 last night. I hope you are finding them useful! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I hope you will watch all of these Canva tutorials. I will be working on #7 pretty soon... I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I have been facing some health challenges that have kept me behind and behinder these days...
Thanks so much for leaving a comment, Susie! I really appreciate it. I hope that as this series progresses you will be able to feel comfortable using Canva and digital resources for your card making! Please let me know if you have any other questions along the way... :-)
Thank you so much. I have just stumbled upon this informative and easy to follow series. Looking forward to continuing through the videos. I am from Australia where we use A4 size paper/cardstock. I can see in your download folder that you have a PDF for A5 card fronts but was wondering if you are going to also add one for the 5" x 7" template as well? Thanks
Thanks for your comment, Cheryl! I'm so sorry for the late reply. I've had to take time off due to some health challenges, so I'm trying to catch up! I hope to be able to do that... but it may take a while since I'm so far behind. ❤️
I was so excited to watch #1, very informative. I am 74 and media challenged. I had one issue in trying it in my Canva. When I entered the measurement data from your template for the 5 X 7 cards, the template didn't change to the 5 X7 size and was unsure how to get the readymade 5 X 7 template onto the page. I ended up with the full letter size, changed it to plain so the graphics wouldn't be cut in half. Is there a way to designate landscape instead of portrait?
Sorry for the confusion! When you create a new doc for your publishing template, enter the dimensions as 11" x 8.5" instead of 8.5" x 11". That will make it display in landscape mode so you can add the Guides data correctly. Try it and let me know if you are still having problems! :-)
This is a great tutorial. I haven’t used Canva before. You make things so clear. I am in Australia and our cardstock is a4 size which is 21cm x29.8 . I cut this down to 21x29 and cut in half making two cards 10.5 x 14.5. My front mat 10x14cm. I need help making templates for this . Can you help …hopeful aussiexx
Hi Brenda. First, let me apologize for my clearly narrow-sighted US perspective! I am sorry that I didn't anticipate this & I am so thankful that you brought it up to me! I will work on making that happen and will post it in the same Google Drive link where the others are.... it may take a few days, but it will happen! Thanks so much for watching my tutorial! ❤️
I'm sorry to say that there isn't, Yvonne. I can work towards making that happen, but I'm hoping that until then you can just pause the recording at each point while you follow along. I apologize to you and hope that as I continue to add to this series the repetition of these same concepts will help reinforce the new principles introduced and your learning. In the meantime, don't forget that there ARE the printing template handouts available to you. The link for those in in the description for the tutorial. :-)
If you click “more” in the description there are links there that include one for downloading the PDF that you can print & it has all the measurements. 😊
Linda, I'm so sorry about that! Your experience highlights an issue that I wasn't aware of when I made the first tutorial. I actually will be addressing it in #6 when I discuss the Free vs. Pro options. I learned something new (through hindsight) and hopefully you will check out the more full explanation in the next video. As far as I know you shouldn't have any other issues in Tutorials 2-5. Let me know if you do! In the meantime, try choosing a different template and walking through the same steps with me in #1. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@sandespoema Thanks! I will continue, as I've ordered a pen for my iPad, and want to learn how to do this. I don't think the pen will make any difference in the download thing, but maybe it was the fact of using ready-made templates.
I have just watched your tutorial and I am very confused. I tried to do everything along with you. The cat you used downloaded with a watermark in the free version, (it can be removed but I have to pay for that) so does that mean all of the pre-loaded images will have a watermark? Also do you upload the panels to use them? I didn't quite understand that bit. I am determined to figure this out because I think it will be very useful with some of my projects.
Hi Deb ~ I am so sorry you are confused! Thanks for taking the time to share. I will try to answer here briefly.... 1) I chose that particular template (with the cat) spontaneously when I was filming the tutorial. I wasn't planning on anyone actually downloading that image because it was just an example. So I didn't pay attention to the fact that the cat was not a free image. What you experienced is what I tried to explain in that video and the following tutorials as well -- that FREE accounts cannot use the images that are designated as PRO by the little crown icon. Apparently the designer of that template used the PRO cat, and because it was included in a larger template the little crown didn't show up on the sample. Anyway, it was only meant to be an example of how to use templates in my tutorial. I try to be cognizant of that issue in my own designs throughout the rest of the tutorials. 2) The printing guides are only meant to give you the actual numbers of the measurements to plug in when you fill out the "Add Guides" section for yourself on your document. The actual printed file is not useful in itself. It's the measurement numbers that you plug in for yourself in Canva that I have figured out for you ahead of time so you won't have to try to do the math yourself! Please let me know if this answers your questions.... if not, write back, and I'll try to help more. :-)
@@sandespoema thank you, that makes sense now. Like I said, I'm determined to get the hang of it because this will help me. I have been playing around in there and trying different things. I noticed number 3 went up yesterday and I know I'll be ready for that eventually 😊. Baby steps
@@Deb_Thurtell Yes, baby steps! I would go ahead & watch #2 & #3 just because you will see me working more in the software & even by just watching it will start to make sense more & more. Let me know if I can help. 😊
You don’t need to save anything yourself unless you choose to download it to your computer. Then you save it like any other file or picture. But Canva will automatically save everything you do in the cloud. So all of your projects will be available every time you log in. 😊
This is a fabulous overview of Canva for card makers - your presentation is very organized and easy to follow!
Ardyth, if you can believe it, I am just now catching up on CZcams after so many months of health challenges! Such bad form... but I have been very limited in what I can do... ugh. Thanks so much for your kind comment. I truly appreciate it so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I typed up a word document with your step by step instructions because that is how I learn.
Whatever works for you! In my dreams I would like to include a printable of all of the instructions, but I just don't have the time right now... feel free to contact me if you have any questions, okay? ❤️
Thank you so much for this. The younger presenters assume you know this
Thanks so much for this feedback, Cary. Yes, I find that there are a lot of assumptions out there in many tutorials, and the speed that the presenters use to go through new principles can be kind of overwhelming! I really appreciate your comment so much. Thanks. :-)
Thanks Sande. I learned so much and am looking forward to video 2. Thanks for the templates
Thank you for your time and skill. Thank you for sharing.
