@Sandra Di LOVE IT! I signed up for canva pro (although it put me on teams?) Love canva too. Curious how do you title your packages? I have really been inspired and learn much from you however there has to be a better system of naming files. I have tons and tons of graphics original and downloaded but my computer is quickly become a mess (again) HELP! Do you have a video about file organization that I missed? Thank You for all you do I know first hand coaching is rough at times. So I truly appreciate your gift. Thanks for sharing
@@jootb I have not done a video on this but I plan to soon!! I've been asked this before because it's a very relatable struggle! I will do my best to do a video on this to help you :)
@@SandraDi That would be WONDERFUL! I learned how in college but that seems forever ago and I have no doubt you have a much better way. I am waiting for Etsy approval then thanks to you, I will be uploading my first digital product (card). If all goes well today, my first sale will be tomorrow just in time for my B-Day! Thanks for all of your help. I know its rough for some coaches keep your head up remember why you started teaching! I appreciate your reply and hard work!
I have really been enjoying watching your videos and am ready to take the plunge on wall art. I ran into a roadblock with Creative Fabrica though. I emailed them to ask if I put in a background and added text to their elements if I could use as a digital download for wall art. They replied that it was not enough. I am confused since the image they show as an example on what you can do does exactly that. They are not responding to my emails now. Have you had communication with them on this?
@@colleencourt6203 hi! I would assume that's enough as well. I would contact them again and screenshot their example beside yours to clarify :)
I watched this tutorial and started doing cards at the beginning of the year, I’ve sold over 350 cards so far and sales are increasing week on week, many of my cards are appearing at the top of searches organically too without advertising, it gave my shop the kick start it needed. I was worried it would only be busy during peak periods but I’m selling 5-6 birthday cards every day now. It’s hard to do as lots of designs have already been done and you have to price them correctly and source stock at the best prices as profit margins are tight and the price point on Etsy has kind of been set by other established sellers….but I’m managing to come up with new designs that people like.
That's amazing!! Way to go!! Congratulations on your success :)
On which platform you sell those cards???
Can you please tell me what you meant by source stock? Are these for printables?

You are really inspiring me 🎉 best of luck & many more sales ❤️
I think this is the single most useful CZcams video I've ever watched in my entire life.
Thank you so much for that!! I'm so glad that was helpful!!
After having watched several other videos before stumbling upon yours, I can say with great confidence that the others have NO COMPARISON to yours! I don't believe I have ever seen more professional, comprehensive and helpful videos. You are top notch! Thank you for putting the time and great effort into creating these mini seminars.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! That means a lot to me!! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
your effortless design skills always help me pick up new skills along the way... so helpful to be able to watch you do every little step!!!
It felt like I was sitting right next to you the entire time. You made everything so clear. Thank you for the free knowledge, really. ❤
Thank you so much. This was so helpful! I especially love that you've labeled the sections of the video so I can go back if I forget!! ❤❤❤
You do a wonderful job of explaining everything, super easy to follow!
This tutorial was super clear and thorough! Thank you so very much! I’m definitely following and checking out the rest of your content 🙌🏾😃
Thank you Sandra - brilliant tutorial with so much useful information
Thank you Sandi.....amaaaaazing! and happy new year!! 😁🤩😍🥰
THANK YOU!! I've been binge watching your videos and I've been inspired to create and open my own Etsy store. I'm still trying to work out the kinks, but this has made it a lot easier!
Yayy that's super exciting!! Good luck with your shop!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I was able to create what I wanted and understand what to do! You're the best!
Thanks Sandra, I like your videos, clear, to the point, as usual❤
You are honestly so amazing! A literal life and time saver, thank you for sharing what you've learned!
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen for this! I just liked and subscribed 😁 I was about to give up on my Etsy store because of how not fun it is do sell POD products.
This has inspired me. Graphic design has been a passion of mine since I was very young and now I can enjoy using procreate on my iPad to make beautiful art and use it to make printable cards.
Even better, no need to deal with fees for POD and paying them and keeping track of this for taxes. I’m excited now!
Going to watch all your videos like a classroom and learn everything you have to teach. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much! This video is very helpful for me
OMG!!! Your video is fantastic! The first I've seen that actually shows and doesn't tease! Hahahaha, there is one thing, I'm a math teacher and my students are always telling me to slow down. I had to keep rewinding to see how you did some of this. You go through the setup sooooo fast. Now I understand how they feel. Thank you for this wonderful information!!
This video was so clear, concise and got right into it. Extremely helpful, thank you!!
You're very welcome!!
Now this i can do .... thank you 😊 been looking for this video
You explain so easy. Thank you!
Oh this has been suuuuper helpful, I was struggling trying to figure out how to get the outline for the customers to know where to cut and fold. THANK YOU SO MUCH
You're so welcome!! I'm glad this was helpful!
Great tutorial, thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
Your tutorials are so easy to follow, especially for someone newer to Canva Pro and Etsy. Thank you so much for being so clear and concise💕
No problem!! 🥰
Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial!
Thanks for this tutorial. Very helpful and thorough.
Hi Sandra, I exactly followed your guide step by step and published my first greeting card!!! Thanks a ton for mentoring new ETSY sellers like me!!
HI DO YOU MAKE THE MONEY FROM THAT ?
Would like to know as well, please update us.
Amazing video as always dear Sandra, thank you so much 😊

It's super fun!! 🤩
Thank you so much Sandra...great video as always...🙏♥
You're so welcome!! I'm glad you liked this one! Thank you for watching xx
Great tutorial, thank you! I create digital art but had closed my Etsy shop as my other digital shops (Creative Fabrica is one, ironically!) have built-in licensing options and I really didn't want to mess with all of that on Etsy. After watching your video, I am seriously considering offering greeting cards in my Etsy shop (maybe wall art, too) for personal use. I can still add them to my POD shops, but this way I can keep my Etsy shop open as well. 😊 Thank you!
Yayy that's super exciting for you!! I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you great video and very easy to follow, have just listed my first greeting card. again thank you x
Wow this is amazing Sandra!! I tried to teach myself on how to do this and got very frustrated lol! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! I am excited to start my printable side hustle! ❤️

Thank you so much!!
Great video tutorial Sandra! I'm going to be starting a unique greeting card business and this was very helpful. I think I'm going to use POD to start.
POD.?
Such a to the point video. Thank you 😊
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Easy to understand! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank youuuuu, I can't wait to create some hilarious Birthday cards!!!
Yayy enjoy!!
Great idea!! And your make up is so pretty by the way!
Awww thank you! 🥰
Thank you for your amazing videos, super helpful and saved me from selling this incorrectly!!!
You're so welcome! I'm glad this was helpful!
Thank you for this! I have been going round in circles for literally MONTHS trying to find a step by step guide. SO much appreciated, although I'm a bit concerned about the comment on Creative Fabrica. I thought once you had a subscription you could use anything - I will check all now going forward.
You can use the graphics you download during your subscription :) unless you buy the graphics outright!
Great video! I've been searching for a greeting card tutorial and everyone does it differently. I like it this way. Can you please make a tutorial on how to put text inside and print it correctly? The only thing I can come up with is to run the same page back through the printer, but there has to be another way.
This tutorial was so detailed and well paced. The only question I have is is it better to brand your cards ? Have shop name at the back of the card, for instance.
love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Great video, Sandra - thank you! I’m now going to go and add all my designs as cards as well as posters 😂
Haha yesss love that!! I'll be slowly doing the same 🤣
Your videos are so helpful! I'm wondering if you would considering making a video about your process of choosing fonts, pairing fonts, choosing graphics? I don't have a design background and I get so overwhelmed and bogged down with choosing the best fonts and trying to choose from all the beautiful images on Creative Fabrica etc and then arranging them the best way.
Simply Superb explanation
Thanks a lot , for posting
You're welcome!
I appreciate you more than you know.
Great work, thanks for informative video
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
grate tutorial as usual💕
Yay!! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks!
hello there, i just started this.. and regardles if it works out for me or not but bless you for this guide. it was super helpful for me
I love your designs 😘
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much❤
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you thank you for this, Sandra! You have been THE most helpful in this type of instruction in all of your videos. Thanks for being so thorough!
Aww that means a lot to me thank you!! I'm so happy these have been helpful 🥰
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I draw my own graphics and I was thinking of some cute greetings but I’m not good at hand lettering so was afraid I can’t use my commercial font for the card. I have a lot of fonts I bought from creative market. I’m glad this tutorial came in time. I will use my commercial fonts for the wording.
Yes that would be perfect!! Good luck with your greeting cards! They're super fun to create! :)
Helpful video
Hey Sandra, I understand your instructions perfectly however, what if my design is in layers? Everytime I try to use the rectangle and put it in the back, Canva will show me each layer. I will not use layers going forward but was wondering if you can direct me for learning should I want to do this in the future for cards. It is also because I put a background on the front of my card? I tried it again for the back page with no layers, I copy and paste and nothing pastes.
Woo Hoo! Etsy activated my account today! So Happy 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Yayy super exciting!
Thank you for this my Illustrator trial ran out and im not sure i wanna pay that monthly price so im glad to see a great canva tutorial! I am wondering if it would it be possible to start with the 8.5x11 board instead and make the 2 5x7 rectangles and do the design on the same page?
❤❤ This is incredibly good and I greatly appreciate you. But I’m still trying to find a tutorial where you can also give them the inside “design” with a saying. Still confused on how to do that. I think it would add value and allow you to charge more since some people have no idea what to write.
Thanks
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Learnt a lot. Do you have a video on how to do a editable invitation?
really love your videos :) ---
Thank you!
@@SandraDi watched this video again.... and agian... I am wondering why everyone does 5 x 7 cards in lieu of just offering the easiest solution to do a 8.5" x 5.5""" ???? which would be a simple fold of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper? why all the extra work of cutting, etc. ?? Am I missing something on why everyone is making it more difficult? Is it because that is a standard envelope size??? I decided to offer one 8.5 x 5.5 OH and I'm also offering the ability to print on the other side so they can have an inside message... Again - is there a reason folks are shying away from this? I'm clueless so I must be missing something here... Just curious ??
Hi Sandra, your tutorials are amazing! I just wondered what software do you recommend to find the best niches, which identify search volume and competition? Also any advice you can give about how to analyse this properly to ensure its a good niche? Many thanks so much for what you do! Xxx
For Etsy, I use Everbee
Appreciate your videos! What does the customer need to print these cards? If they print them on card paper for example, will they need to cut them with scissors or is there card stock out there that is basically, print and good to go? I understand everything until I copy and paste. How do I go to the other project and copy? When I used Make a copy, it just makes another copy of the same card. When I select everything and copy and paste, only the filled in triangle shows, not my card.
Hi! I would advise them to send to a local printing store to print on card stock and cut for them! Otherwise if the buyer has a printer and card stock they can do it at home :) And in the video I show how to go back to Canva homepage and create a new file for the final copy. Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing this information ❤ can I ask if we should watermark our images when uploading the mockups to etsy?
Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
This was EXACTLY the video I needed. :) Thanks for creating such a thorough explanation. Question: Do you have a tutorial on how to create an A7 envelope template (with fold and cut lines)? I've seen lots of cool printable shops include envelope templates with their digital cards, and it seems like a nice touch. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to create an accurately sized template for 5x7 cards. (I did a search on your channel to see if you'd already done a video like this . . . I saw the video on templates in general, but not one about creating an envelope template for 5 x 7 cards with the fold and cut lines . . . sorry if I missed it!).
Hi @SandraDi, love your videos... trying to follow along but when you select all to copy over to another tab presumably with the file for the customer, it doesn't seem to copy everything. The box you are putting on top to align doesn't copy with it. Could you please offer any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much
Hi, just following your tutorial... So far, so good... I'm creating the rectangle now, but my measurements don't come up like yours? Is there anywhere I change this please x
Hi Sandra, I love how you provide instructions it is easy to follow. I just only have a hard time to copy and paste the card to the 11x8.5 inch. I tried to select everything and copy but when I pasted it to the other page, only the elements were copied. :( can you please advise? Thank you.
I have also been having the same issues,
I have a question @sandradi do you have a separate store for greetings cards only or did you integrate it with your other printable products? I'm not sure what's best to do?
Hi! I love your videos! Thank you for sharing this! Just one question: both images are on the same side of printing, so when it is folded, it would be front and back pictures (from outside), but nothing inside, is that right?
Yes that's correct! Inside would be blank. I am doing a follow-up video showing how to do outside and inside if you would like the inside filled out too :)
Hi Sandra! Thanks so much for the helpful videos! Would we follow the same instructions to print directly onto 5x7" paper cardstock (so I wouldn't have to cut the paper at all)? Thanks!
Yes! :)
Hi, I've followed your tutorial down to a T but I'm stuck on selecting ALL incl. my background image to paste in the download file. I have three layers incl. background image, but it's only selecting two elements. Please any advice on this. Thanks Faye x
Love your videos... They are very informative.. How do I get those license you talk about?
love this video!!! question though, are your customers allowed to download the thank you card although you downloaded it using a canva pro feature?
This tutorial was so helpful and simple! If you are creating a card with a front and an inside (instead of front and back) how would you recommend completing the step with the dotted lines for cutout?
I will be doing an updated tutorial on this soon because it's difficult to answer without showing :) but I would create 2 art boards, one for front and one for back, with the cut lines to match on both boards!
Hi Sandra! Great video - I have two questions. Is there a reason you use JPG instead of PNG for the photos that you'll put on Etsy? Second question is you said to export the PDF in CMYK instead of RGB which I completely understand since it will be printed out, but when I do this my color shifts considerably (using mostly reds and pinks for Valentine's Day). Is there a way around this? Should I be designing with more muted colors or less bright colors since they can't be printed on a printer well since printers use CMYK? Thank you!
Hey Sandra, thank you so much for all your videos! I've been binge watching them and working hard on creating my store. I have a question regarding free listings - I saw that you have a lot of unused listings - did you pay for them? If not, how did you do that? 😅
Hi! When I share my link for 40 free listings for other people to start their shops, it gives me 40 free listings as well! :)
Sandra,
Another great video. Thank you! Learning about Everbee and Marmalead ... How do you decide what product to start with or add to your shop? Do you always check first what people are searching for instead of just something you want to design ? And do you think one should start with a theme such as printable wall art and add too that. I guess what Im saying is it ok to have wall art, cards, coloring pages, affirmation cards all on one shop ? Or open up 2 shops that stay more cohesive with design and product? I am new and I think I need to just pick one thing and one shop to start ?
Thanks so much. Angela
I always start with research! That's through keywords (Marmalead or Sale Samurai) and also competitor research. That's after I brainstorm ideas that I would like to create first :) hope that helps!
