If you've ever browsed Etsy for digital goodies, chances are you've come across Canva templates—and maybe wondered how they actually work. Well, good news! I just uploaded a step-by-step video on YouTube showing exactly how to purchase, download, and customize Canva templates from my Etsy shop.

Whether you're making something fun for a party or creating a beautiful wedding suite, Canva makes it super easy. And no, you don’t need to be a designer to use them.

How It Works (Yes, It’s Super Simple)

If you’re new to this, don’t worry. Here’s a quick breakdown of how to go from “just browsing” to “look what I made” in a few easy steps:

1. Choose your template

Head to my Etsy shop and find the template that fits your style and need. Add it to your cart and check out like usual.

2. Download your access file

After purchase, Etsy will give you a PDF file with a link. This link takes you straight to Canva where your template is waiting.

3. Open in Canva (a free account works just fine)

Click the link, and Canva will prompt you to log in or sign up. Once you're in, the template will open up in your editor.

4. Customize it

Now the fun part! You can update the text, change fonts, switch colors, swap images—whatever you want. Make it totally your own.

5. Download and print or share

Once you’re happy with your design, download it as a PDF, JPG, or PNG—whatever you need. Print it at home, send it to a print shop, or share it digitally.


So if you've been wanting to try Canva templates but felt a little unsure where to start, this video is for you. I walk you through everything from purchase to final download. It’s beginner-friendly, and I promise you’ll feel like a pro by the end.
