Before we begin, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • If you haven't already, create an account with Canva. There's a free version as well as a 'Canva for Work' version that has more bells and whistles....either will do.

  • We will be using the card size 5.5 in x 4.25 in. for this video. So, if you want to follow along you can start there or you can start with a graphic size that suits your needs.

  • Make sure to grab one of your favorite Haute Stock images and Graphic Pack Art to use as you walk your way through the tutorial.
