Thank you for sharing this video. I can see how so many have picked up on these tips and how others may see this as not being creative - though it's actually a move towards being different. Showing more of the uses for the tools, that are literally right in front of us, is a step through the threshold that is Expanding Creativity. It feels stale when there are others who do the exact same thing, but when there's a twist, something tweaked, it takes on an entirely different form. Maybe not to some, though others won't be bothered to deny a little change can make a big difference. This made my night ♡♡Again, Thank you♡♡

Nice, informative video. What you do on Canvas can only be done with the pro account. The graphics you use are watermarked without the pro account and saving as an SVG cannot be done without the pro account. So, Canva pro is more than a suggestion. To accomplish what you did, it's a must. 😅 There are free platforms that could be used instead, to create SVG files. 😊

I've also heard from other Etsy shop owners that the pro elements and templates cannot be used for commercial purposes to sell, however, the free elements can be used for commercial purposes but not stand-alone elements, they have to be changed heavily to create a unique design. I'm going to take a look at Canva's license policies to make sure this is accurate. I've heard several different things when it comes to Canva. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZiol6xhrdWYYJ8.html

Silhouette Studio won’t open my SVG file I downloaded from canva. I set the file to always open with Silhouette but it says it’s not supported… Also when I go to save as to see if there’s a save as SVG option there isn’t. Do I need to get a different version of the program or something to work with SVGs?

@shawnshalest_hws Жыл бұрын

You'll need the Business Edition of Silhouette Studio to open the SVG file from Canva. If you are using the free version, save your file as a transparent png file. When you open that file in Silhouette most of the time it will already be traced to cut like you want it to. But keep in mind you still will not be able to save the file as an svg.

In my opinion there is never too much competition. But some niches are harder to break into than others. If you are in one of those niches you will have to be creative to get seen. I'm in the T-shirt industry that is very saturated... I've had to be creative. ;-)
