great course Natalia. i had to slow the playback speed in video settings (gear symbol) and the trick to watching and listening is to follow your cursor around the screen to follow what you're clicking on and adjusting. i may have to watch several times to take notes but wow it's worth the extra effort. thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so thrilled you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and hopefully designing in Canva will become easier and easier for you. I highly recommend you check out my updated version for 2024 here: th-cam.com/video/UkzVLHeSf7c/w-d-xo.html. It’s covering all the new features and the layout of Canva is current. Although the tempo might be similar and you may still need to drop the playback speed, the cursor is highlighted so it should be easier to follow 😊 Thank you again for watching and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
I tried Canva years and gave up after a few attempts but thanks to this comprehensive tutorial, I'm rejuvenated into going back to it. A lot of videos are too short or too fast, but yours is well paced too.
This tutorial is AMAZING. As someone who went in knowing zero about canva, I can attest to the fact that this will tell you everything you need to know to get started making designs. I fell in love with canva working through this video. Thank you so so much for this amazing resource.
Wow. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just finished your tutorial, it took me somewhere between three and four hours to go through it because I stopped it all the time to try out almost everything you had just presented, in order to remember things better, and while doing so actually discovered a few more things. I also appreciated some of your design ideas which further opened my eyes to the endless possibilities Canva offers. I had already watched a number of other tutorials, some also very well presented, but most are way too short: they just awaken your curiosity but then leave you hanging there, struggling. After having worked through your tutorial, I feel that I hit the ground running, and am now off to your other tutorials to learn more. Having come down with Covid - fortunately not too bad - I still have a few more days of quarantene left that I will use for studying and practising more! 😁
Thank you, Natalia for the video tutorial on Canva. You were a really great help on how to use Canva properly and how to use the functions and effects to create great designs. Greatly appreciate your video.
This is the best Canva beginner tutorial. I am actually able to work along with you as your demonstrations are perfect. I have watched so many others and they all fell short.
Wow, Natalia what an awesome tutorial. I'm a novice to Canva and this was my first tutorial. I don't think I need to watch another. Just need to watch yours a few times more. Oh my wow, that was an hour and a half of non-stop teaching and pure gold every second. You're an awesome communicator and your knowledge of design basics is just incredible.
Beginner here and been searching for a video about Canva and bumped into your tutorial. This is by far the most comprehensive video i ever encountered. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in Canva. Loved your step by step teachings. More videos to come. God bless you!
This is hands down the best tutorial on this topic! I struggled all morning and afternoon trying to figure this out until I came across your video. Thank you so much Natalia! I cannot wait to begin creating new and improved content!
This video was AMAZING! Thanks for taking the time to simplify Canva for beginners like me. I downloaded Canva many months ago, and was overwhelmed, so I never tried to use it again. You're a gem 💎!

Natalia you are one of the best instructors that I have listened to. I am older and technically challenged, and many of these graphic design sites are overwhelming. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you have dedicated. You are amazing and very helpful!
That’s so lovely to hear and it really means the world to me! ✨ I’m so happy it’s been helpful to you and wish you all the best on your design journey!
Natalie, I have just watched the video as a beginner and it's just awesome. Thank you for going out of your way to share a such level of skill. It's the first video I have watched as a beginner and I have learned so much. I can't thank you enough!
Amazing! Thank you. I have produced a brilliant sample - way beyond my expectations whilst watching your tutorial. It was worth sitting still for 1.30 hours to listen to you.....and thank you once again.
- Natalia You make incredible recordings. I've been using Canva Genius for a while and have created a lot of things, but your video helped me move forward my job more quickly and gave me a better understanding of the many tools. It is clear that after using Canva, I did not contact Photo shop. The fact that there isn't any extraneous talking to make the video longer is its best feature. Continue to demonstrate instructions in the future as well.
Natalie, you angel. Thank you so much. Unknowingly you've helped me create my first piece. A very special memorial card for my mumma. 😪 Not long into your beautifully explained tutorial I had Canva open and found it so easy to do what I was stressing about starting for so long. Again Thank you lovely Lady 💛
🚨 *UPDATES THREAD!* 🚨 Please read before asking a question about missing some functions 😊 You can try out Canva Pro for FREE for 45 days by following this link 👉natalia.link/canva 💻 Since I recorded this tutorial, Canva has changed a few things and they may be located in a different place. I’ll try to keep this thread up to date. *VIEW TAB* (Guides, Rulers, Margings & Bleed): Canva has now removed the View option from the top bar. The options to show guides, rulers, margins and print bleed has now been moved under the File tab so easily accessible from there. To change to a Grid View, you can now click in the bottom right corner of the editor on the small layer icon (indicating the number of pages) right next to the percentages. Grid View is only available when you have more than one page in your design. As far as I know, what was called the Thumbnail view is now available only for any video format designs. *ELEMENTS TAB MERGED* : You can now find most of the tabs from the left panel in a collective Elements Tab which now includes the Photos, Elements, Video and Audio. If you search for something, these tabs will appear under the search bar as well. *ALL PROJECTS TAB IS NOW CALLED PROJECTS* You can now access all of your designs from the Project tab in the left panel. It's an upgraded panel with search functionalities and subtabs making it a more useful tab that what we were used to!
The tidy up feature is still there, you just need to make sure you have 3 or more elements selected - otherwise there’s not enough to actually “tidy up” 😉
Created a few little Canva designs and stumbled through the functions, created my websites on other platforms, so am kinda familiar with basic compositions, but, O-M-G, Natalia, this video was AMAZE-BALLS!! Definitely invaluable for beginners and semi-pros alike who aren’t familiar with the magic of Canva. Thank you so much for creating this video and teaching in an actionable way that everyone can understand how to use the platform!! 💕💕
As a complete newbie in canva, this was a very comprehensive but easy to follow tutorial. I learn a lot about its fundamentals. My 1 hr and 30 plus mins is not wasted. you make great content! you deserve more subs
Excellent overview of the graphic design capability - explained and demonstrated so that anyone can follow. I may not remember all the buttons she pushed but will remember there is a capability and look for how to do it. Many thanks!
I cannot believe I watched the whole video... Thank you, Natalia! Awesome! I subscribed to your channel because I like the way you explain everything. Have fun!
Very happy to have found your tutorial which I watched intensively!!! You are an Amazing instructor, and I look forward to watching your other tutorials.:D
Thank you Natalia. I really appreciated how you covered everything CANVA in this video. You've given us all the background information that we need to use and further learn about this important piece of software, which is CANVA. These tutorials are really appreciated!
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen for anything! Thank you, Natalia! Your energy is infectious. I can't wait to start using Canva and to watch more of your videos!
Since I talk about content marketing and content creation specifically on this channel, I don’t think it would be as beneficial for the general audience to include a Photoshop tutorial. It’s simply because that’s a more complicated tool and a regular entrepreneur or a content creator won’t have the time to learn the skills for the purpose of designing for social media, blogs or business. There are quite a few tutorials on Adobe Photoshop on TH-cam already so hopefully you can learn from these! ✨
Extremely helpful! Great overall video thank you. I even love how your matched with some of the colors on the slide. Very co-ordinated. Just subscribed and will probably be binge watching your videos for the rest of the day. I know the effort that it takes to produce these tutorials so much appreciated.
Thank you so much ☀️🙏🏻 It means a lot and thank you for recognizing the effort. I’m always so happy to help so it’s great to hear you were able to learn from it, too!
This was chock full of good info for a newbie like myself. Your video is the first Canva training I've used. Thank you so much and I'll look forward to watching more of your trainings. Thanks so much! Judy
Natalie, thank you so much for your very well explained tutorial for Canva, one of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Very informative and spoken very clearly, thank you.
This was really helpful !! In the video, you mentioned that you've worked with photoshop a lot. Can you please upload a tutorial on how to use photoshop for beginners too ?? It would be really helpful as I'm trying to learn how to do so. Thank you !
I'm so happy you've found this tutorial useful! My channel focuses on content marketing and I don't think for most content creators Photoshop will be the most sensible option. There are plenty of great Photoshop tutorials on TH-cam so hopefully you can find something to learn from! All the best to you, Shifa!
I'm an engineer, running online businesses. This is really helpfull in getting started about content creation and graphic design. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate 🥰
That so lovely to hear! Thank you very much Kim and I’m so happy it was helpful to you. By the way, I’ve got an updated full Canva tutorial on my channel now so it might be useful to you given all the new features that have been introduced since then! 😊
absolute newbie, I am looking forward to giving Canva a go, even if the tutorial was a little over my head, start off small and simple I think, and work in from there, I need to remember that not everything needs to have all the whiz bang, it needs to be accurate, tasteful (aesthetic) etc. So just pace myself. Thanks Natalia.
Absolutely, that's the best approach! ✨ Just take small steps and learn one thing at a time. Canva is very intuitive so you'll be a pro in no time 😊 All the best to you!
Thanks a million Natalia, great tutorial 💯🔝. I’m new with Canva and had a brilliant start with your video. I now have better understanding how cool Canva is. Next will watch about templates. Thanks again, superb job 💥
I'm so happy to help, Mervi! Thanks a ton and good luck with designing 😊 If you're ever curious about any other features of Canva, just give me a shout! 🙌
I’m so happy to hear it and thank you for watching! By the way, I have an updated tutorial on my channel, it might be worthwhile to check it out since it covers a lot of the new features 😊
This tutorial is fantastic!! Your delivery of the product knowledge is thorough and easy to understand for a beginner like myself. Thank-you for sharing :)
Thank you so much for making this thorough tutorial! I just recently started using canva and after watching this, my canva game is on a whole new level! 😊
Fantastic tutorial! I've been a Photoshop user for decades and I thought Canva was for amateurs. THIS is crazy good! I am a photographer, so PS will always be in my toolbox, but Canva is my new fave. Thanks so much!
Im so happy to hear it! 😊 By the way, I have an updated tutorial for 2024 on my channel, it might be worth checking out: th-cam.com/video/UkzVLHeSf7c/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NataliaKalinska 😊
Hi, I'm not creative and fell into this by accident. Canva was recommended to use. I watched the Canva tutorials and came away more confused. I like your step by step guide. As a real novice to all things graphic, I needed a foundational element to explain more about the page itself. I wanted to make an order of service and need more information on layout eg A5 booklet. I wasn't sure if I needed to add columns, etc. God bless you for your time and effort. Very useful.
So happy you found it helpful, Jeannette! 👍 Canva is such an incredible tool and the fact that you can start with it and pick it up quickly without any previous design knowledge makes it my favorite tool for any creator or entrepreneur!
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial, really clear explanations and examples. I have been using Canva Pro for about a month and love it, but this video has blown my mind 🤩. It will take some time to learn about the many different aspects of Canva and I will be referring back to this video often. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your tutorials 👍💕
What a great video! That helped me so much. A great overview and details. I was able to follow along and try things out as it went. I still need guidance on design concepts, but this is such a fantastic base!
Funny. I just missed a zoom about Canva, that was trying to teach me something in 18minutes. But wanted $$ up front. I left and came here. I am so glad I did. I will stay with you until I learn as much as I need. Already learned so much. Thanks
This is an absolutely fantastic video! Thank you so much Natalia for taking the time to make it for us. I used Canva a few times but had no idea there are so many options and functionalities.
@@NataliaKalinska I had no idea that I can change and adjust the colours of the elements to match my favourite/brand colour. I've used it already to create my IG highlight covers.
Great video! Thanks so much for spending all this time going through every aspect of Canva! I've been trying to learn on my own and have struggled to get anything done. Now I feel like I can actually create something nice!
I literally love this tutorial and enjoyed it very much. So helpful and explained in detail everything to start design in an easy way. I really appreciate your dedication to help people and indeed myself. God bless you with thanks.
Great video! I am totally new to Canva and this was great and easy to follow. I would love to see both a video on creating a font from your handwriting and one on templates! Thank you so much!
Thank you so so much! I'm happy you were able to follow along and enjoyed the tutorial. The video on templates in coming up in a few days and I can definitely record another one on creating a font! 😀
That makes me so happy, thank you for watching! Btw, I’ve released an updated full tutorial so it might be worth a try to learn how to use the new features 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this awesome video! I would love to see a video on transforming handwriting into a font. I have been thinking about doing this and had no idea where to go and how to do it.
Awesome content loved your energy and enthusiasm for this, you have helped me to overcome my hesitancy with using Canva, loved the idea of Schedule Planner. Video on creating a Template would be good
That's so wonderful to hear, Christopher! Thank you so much for your kindness ✨ I have a template video - you can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/IMG5zUFrWxM/w-d-xo.html
Wow. It’s like I’m actually in a class. Very informative, and presented at a digestible pace. Thank you so much. Worth watching multiple times so everything sinks in.
Thanks for a great tutorial, even though it was quite long I was still able to get through it without a problem (I have stopped watching some other tutorials after only a few minutes!). You're easy to listen to and don't fluff around with unnecessary long winded explanations, what you do say is easy to understand and relevant. Thanks again I learnt heaps! I'm looking forward to a tutorial on making a font from your handwriting too, I've read down through a few comments here and see that it's on your list ;-) I just have a quick question if you don't mind answering? How does Canva distinguish between a Picture and a Background? I want to upload my own background to use - would it just be a matter of using it as a "photo" and stretching out to the size of the project each time or is there a way to make it a "background" that automatically fills the whole project like the Canva backgrounds do?
So happy you enjoyed it, Lisa! 🙏 You can easily add a photo as a background in Canva. You'll notice that once you stretch it out, it will automatically snap in place and once you deselect it and then select it again, it will no longer show its full dimensions, only the shape of the Canvas. To correct the position, you need to double click on the photo and you can play around with it again. If you want multiple pages with the same background, you can simply hit the duplicate button which is located slightly above your design to the right. Hope this helps!
Yay, this genuinely makes me so happy! Good luck on your Canva journey and thank you for taking the time to watch 😊 Btw, I posted an updated full tutorial on my channel not to long ago!
Thanks so much, Natalia! This is a well done video presentation. I have a Canva account but I'd now like to sign up for Canva Pro. Can that be done through your affiliate link? I'm happy to help you if that is an option. Just let me know.
My pleasure and thank you so much for leaving a comment! 😁 Unfortunately, the affiliate link only works for new accounts but you can simply sign up for a Pro account when you're logged in. Go to the Pricing tab at the top of the Canva homepage and click Pro. You'll be able to try it for 30 days. Let me know if you need any more help!
OMG!!!!! Thanks for such a comprehensive and very educational video. I am new beginner and I am glad I found your video/tutorial 😊 I will search for more your videos. Easy to follow and listening. It was pleasure to watch ❤ Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Mega się cieszę, że się podobało! Dziękuję bardzo, że tu jesteś i mam nadzieję, że reszta tutoriali pomoże Ci jeszcze bardziej. Ściskam ciepło ze Szkocji! 💕
I love canva, I used the free version for a couple years and I am so glad I upgraded to pro!!! Very helpful, I started a dropshipping business on etsy and making short designs is soooooo easy and intuitive I love it.
Totally agree, Canva is such a life saver! Super quick and you can create so many awesome designs for various parts of a business. Glad you love it as much as I do! ✨💓
Im so happy to hear it! 😊 By the way, I have an updated tutorial for 2024 on my channel, it might be worth checking out: th-cam.com/video/UkzVLHeSf7c/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NataliaKalinska 😊

You can try out Canva Pro for FREE for 45 days by following this link 👉natalia.link/canva 💻
Since I recorded this tutorial, Canva has changed a few things and they may be located in a different place. I’ll try to keep this thread up to date.
*VIEW TAB* (Guides, Rulers, Margings & Bleed): Canva has now removed the View option from the top bar. The options to show guides, rulers, margins and print bleed has now been moved under the File tab so easily accessible from there. To change to a Grid View, you can now click in the bottom right corner of the editor on the small layer icon (indicating the number of pages) right next to the percentages. Grid View is only available when you have more than one page in your design. As far as I know, what was called the Thumbnail view is now available only for any video format designs.
*ELEMENTS TAB MERGED* : You can now find most of the tabs from the left panel in a collective Elements Tab which now includes the Photos, Elements, Video and Audio. If you search for something, these tabs will appear under the search bar as well.
*ALL PROJECTS TAB IS NOW CALLED PROJECTS* You can now access all of your designs from the Project tab in the left panel. It's an upgraded panel with search functionalities and subtabs making it a more useful tab that what we were used to!
this video was amazing
i had 0 information about canva now in 3 days I'm better than the person who introduced canva to me lol
I can't find the tidy up button has it gone?
The tidy up feature is still there, you just need to make sure you have 3 or more elements selected - otherwise there’s not enough to actually “tidy up” 😉
So is this an updated post on the 30 day free trial? Also do you have some sort of coupon code that we could use for subscription to Canva?
Natalia - You are so articulate and such a great teacher. Thank you so much for putting this together!
You are so welcome, Susan! I'm glad you've found it so helpful 😊
Created a few little Canva designs and stumbled through the functions, created my websites on other platforms, so am kinda familiar with basic compositions, but, O-M-G, Natalia, this video was AMAZE-BALLS!! Definitely invaluable for beginners and semi-pros alike who aren’t familiar with the magic of Canva. Thank you so much for creating this video and teaching in an actionable way that everyone can understand how to use the platform!! 💕💕
Thank you for making this video. Because I was having hard time using Canva, and I would like you to keep sharing more videos with me
As a complete newbie in canva, this was a very comprehensive but easy to follow tutorial. I learn a lot about its fundamentals. My 1 hr and 30 plus mins is not wasted. you make great content! you deserve more subs
You're so kind, Xuxi, thanks so much for being here! 🙏
Excellent overview of the graphic design capability - explained and demonstrated so that anyone can follow. I may not remember all the buttons she pushed but will remember there is a capability and look for how to do it. Many thanks!
I cannot believe I watched the whole video... Thank you, Natalia! Awesome! I subscribed to your channel because I like the way you explain everything. Have fun!
How amazing, Wilhelm! Thanks for subscribing and sticking around for the whole video - it really means a lot. All the best to you! 😊
Very happy to have found your tutorial which I watched intensively!!! You are an Amazing instructor, and I look forward to watching your other tutorials.:D
You’ve just put the biggest smile on my face 😊 Thank you so much for being so kind, I appreciate you! 🙌✨
I am brand new to Canva. I felt overwhelmed at first. I found this video easy to follow and it opened my eyes to may other ways I could use Canva.
Thank you Natalia. I really appreciated how you covered everything CANVA in this video. You've given us all the background information that we need to use and further learn about this important piece of software, which is CANVA. These tutorials are really appreciated!
A well-comprehensive video presentation. As A beginner, I am confident your video will help me in creating content. Thank you Natalia.
You're very welcome, Taimi! So happy it worked for you ✨
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen for anything! Thank you, Natalia! Your energy is infectious. I can't wait to start using Canva and to watch more of your videos!

Amazing and very detailed tutorial. Thanks Natalia❤
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for putting this together!
How lovely of you to say this, Daksh! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@NataliaKalinska Can you make Adobe Photoshop tutorial for us mam
Since I talk about content marketing and content creation specifically on this channel, I don’t think it would be as beneficial for the general audience to include a Photoshop tutorial. It’s simply because that’s a more complicated tool and a regular entrepreneur or a content creator won’t have the time to learn the skills for the purpose of designing for social media, blogs or business. There are quite a few tutorials on Adobe Photoshop on TH-cam already so hopefully you can learn from these! ✨
@@NataliaKalinska Ya thank you mam.
Extremely helpful! Great overall video thank you. I even love how your matched with some of the colors on the slide. Very co-ordinated. Just subscribed and will probably be binge watching your videos for the rest of the day. I know the effort that it takes to produce these tutorials so much appreciated.
Thank you so much ☀️🙏🏻 It means a lot and thank you for recognizing the effort. I’m always so happy to help so it’s great to hear you were able to learn from it, too!
@@NataliaKalinska, is the View tab only available in the Pro version?
It’s actually been moved since I recorded this video. Please take a look at the pinned comment 😊
It took me 2 days to watch this video and learn - I really appreciate your effort and time thank you!!! It's comprehensive and easy to follow
That was my goal all along and I’m so happy it worked out so well for you! ✨ All the best on your Canva journey!
Awesome presentation Natalia. Looking forward to learning more.
Yay, so happy it resonated with you, Emily! ✨ More definitely to come!
Thank you so much! This was truly instructive and excellent!!
That makes me so happy! 🙌 All the best on your design journey, Cassandra!
This was chock full of good info for a newbie like myself. Your video is the first Canva training I've used. Thank you so much and I'll look forward to watching more of your trainings. Thanks so much! Judy
Yay, that’s so great to hear Judy! 🙏🏻 Happy designing! ✨
Natalie, thank you so much for your very well explained tutorial for Canva, one of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Very informative and spoken very clearly, thank you.
Appreciate your kindness, Fionnuala! ✨ So happy to hear it was helpful to you.
This was really helpful !! In the video, you mentioned that you've worked with photoshop a lot. Can you please upload a tutorial on how to use photoshop for beginners too ?? It would be really helpful as I'm trying to learn how to do so. Thank you !
hi army 😂💜
I'm so happy you've found this tutorial useful! My channel focuses on content marketing and I don't think for most content creators Photoshop will be the most sensible option. There are plenty of great Photoshop tutorials on TH-cam so hopefully you can find something to learn from! All the best to you, Shifa!
I'm an engineer, running online businesses. This is really helpfull in getting started about content creation and graphic design. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate 🥰
Thanks so much for being here!
Natalia, great video. You are a great teacher! I am very happy that I found you! Thanks so much for your help!
That so lovely to hear! Thank you very much Kim and I’m so happy it was helpful to you. By the way, I’ve got an updated full Canva tutorial on my channel now so it might be useful to you given all the new features that have been introduced since then! 😊
Really helpful thank you 😊 so much for this video 🥰🥰🥰🥰🚪
You’re so welcome Talha! ❤️ I’m so happy I could help
@@NataliaKalinska God bless you 🥰 many many happy prayers 🤲 for you 🥰
absolute newbie, I am looking forward to giving Canva a go, even if the tutorial was a little over my head, start off small and simple I think, and work in from there, I need to remember that not everything needs to have all the whiz bang, it needs to be accurate, tasteful (aesthetic) etc. So just pace myself. Thanks Natalia.
Absolutely, that's the best approach! ✨ Just take small steps and learn one thing at a time. Canva is very intuitive so you'll be a pro in no time 😊 All the best to you!
Thanks a million Natalia, great tutorial 💯🔝. I’m new with Canva and had a brilliant start with your video. I now have better understanding how cool Canva is. Next will watch about templates. Thanks again, superb job 💥
I'm so happy to help, Mervi! Thanks a ton and good luck with designing 😊 If you're ever curious about any other features of Canva, just give me a shout! 🙌
Thank you Natalia! I feel much more confident in my Canva skills now.
I’m so happy to hear it and thank you for watching! By the way, I have an updated tutorial on my channel, it might be worthwhile to check it out since it covers a lot of the new features 😊
This is the best detailed Canva tutorial on TH-cam!! I saved this video on my playlist for future references. Awesome Job!!
This tutorial is fantastic!! Your delivery of the product knowledge is thorough and easy to understand for a beginner like myself. Thank-you for sharing :)
Thank you so much for making this thorough tutorial! I just recently started using canva and after watching this, my canva game is on a whole new level! 😊
You're very welcome, Iva! ✨ Glad it's helped you so much! Happy designing 😊
Fantastic tutorial! I've been a Photoshop user for decades and I thought Canva was for amateurs. THIS is crazy good! I am a photographer, so PS will always be in my toolbox, but Canva is my new fave. Thanks so much!
How can we build connection with graphics designer working as a freelancer
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!!!
Im so happy to hear it! 😊 By the way, I have an updated tutorial for 2024 on my channel, it might be worth checking out: th-cam.com/video/UkzVLHeSf7c/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NataliaKalinska 😊
Hi,
I'm not creative and fell into this by accident.
Canva was recommended to use. I watched the Canva tutorials and came away more confused.
I like your step by step guide. As a real novice to all things graphic, I needed a foundational element to explain more about the page itself.
I wanted to make an order of service and need more information on layout eg A5 booklet. I wasn't sure if I needed to add columns, etc.
God bless you for your time and effort. Very useful.
This is excellent beginner training. Easy to follow and understand. I love your enthusiasm for Canva.
So happy you found it helpful, Jeannette! 👍 Canva is such an incredible tool and the fact that you can start with it and pick it up quickly without any previous design knowledge makes it my favorite tool for any creator or entrepreneur!
Agree. New user here
Great video.
@@10xSmiles thank you so much!
@@NataliaKalinska ❤❤
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial, really clear explanations and examples. I have been using Canva Pro for about a month and love it, but this video has blown my mind 🤩. It will take some time to learn about the many different aspects of Canva and I will be referring back to this video often. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your tutorials 👍💕
Thank YOU for taking the time to be here, Chris! 😍 I really appreciate your kindness. Happy designing and let me know if you have any questions ✨
What a great video! That helped me so much. A great overview and details. I was able to follow along and try things out as it went. I still need guidance on design concepts, but this is such a fantastic base!
Funny. I just missed a zoom about Canva, that was trying to teach me something in 18minutes. But wanted $$ up front. I left and came here. I am so glad I did. I will stay with you until I learn as much as I need. Already learned so much. Thanks
This is an absolutely fantastic video! Thank you so much Natalia for taking the time to make it for us. I used Canva a few times but had no idea there are so many options and functionalities.
So glad it resonated with you, Lucia! ❤️ What’s your favorite option you've discovered?
@@NataliaKalinska I had no idea that I can change and adjust the colours of the elements to match my favourite/brand colour. I've used it already to create my IG highlight covers.
Much appreciated for your tutorial. It's extremely helpful.
My pleasure, Hana!
I watched so many tutorials but this is the best one. You teach everything in-depth. Thank you :)
So happy to hear that! I really appreciate it, thank you! :)
CANVA: You just blew my mind!!!!! I'm searching for a better word than amazing to describe it - it's divine !!!!!!!
Was stuck between unlimited functions of Canva but glad that I came across your video ❤️
Canva should have sponsored you.❤️
Thank you very much.
Definitely not sponsored, but I have now become a Canva affiliate 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Sanskar!
pleace how can one become an affiliate to Canva
Thank you for this amazing tutorial, makes us confident to start from scratch and gain an allround experience of the major tools!
How wonderful to hear ✨ Happy designing Rohit!
I'm the only one here who never has an experience yet. I'm confident enough to create an artwork base on Canva. lol.
Great video! Thanks so much for spending all this time going through every aspect of Canva! I've been trying to learn on my own and have struggled to get anything done. Now I feel like I can actually create something nice!
This is a great tutorial. Natalie goes over everything, very easy to follow.
I just looked at this...and I can't believe how wonderful this really is. AMAZING! I will be looking at this again...and again!!!😇😍
That’s so great to hear, Glinda 🫶❤️ Thank you so much for watching and happy designing!
Thank you so much Natalia, lots of love, the flow with which you were actually explaining was tremendous. Thanks for making my day.:)
Thanks for making mine! ✨ It means the world to me that you’ve enjoyed the tutorial. Sending you big hugs 🤗
I literally love this tutorial and enjoyed it very much. So helpful and explained in detail everything to start design in an easy way. I really appreciate your dedication to help people and indeed myself. God bless you with thanks.
I'm so glad to hear that, Ashaduzzaman! Thank you so much for being here. All the best to you ✨
Great video! I am totally new to Canva and this was great and easy to follow. I would love to see both a video on creating a font from your handwriting and one on templates! Thank you so much!
Thank you so so much! I'm happy you were able to follow along and enjoyed the tutorial. The video on templates in coming up in a few days and I can definitely record another one on creating a font! 😀
@@NataliaKalinska I didn't realize you already had done a video on creating a font. No worries in that case! I'll find it :)
@@50tch I've not done it yet but it already landed on my ideas board so I will do it soon :)
Thanks so much Natalia - now I have seen the NEWEST option I will know what to do. I am checking out the two videos you suggest and will get back
You’re very welcome! Hopefully you’ll get more clarity with these two 🙌
This is a great informative video. Thank you for making it.
That makes me so happy, thank you for watching! Btw, I’ve released an updated full tutorial so it might be worth a try to learn how to use the new features 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this awesome video! I would love to see a video on transforming handwriting into a font. I have been thinking about doing this and had no idea where to go and how to do it.
Thank you so much Tonette! ⭐ Handwriting video is on my list!
Awesome content loved your energy and enthusiasm for this, you have helped me to overcome my hesitancy with using Canva, loved the idea of Schedule Planner. Video on creating a Template would be good
That's so wonderful to hear, Christopher! Thank you so much for your kindness ✨ I have a template video - you can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/IMG5zUFrWxM/w-d-xo.html
Wow. It’s like I’m actually in a class. Very informative, and presented at a digestible pace. Thank you so much. Worth watching multiple times so everything sinks in.
Amazing, thank you so much! And please do take your time, it's a very long video 😉
And this is EXACTLY the kind of Canva class I wanted and needed.
Thanks for a great tutorial, even though it was quite long I was still able to get through it without a problem (I have stopped watching some other tutorials after only a few minutes!). You're easy to listen to and don't fluff around with unnecessary long winded explanations, what you do say is easy to understand and relevant. Thanks again I learnt heaps! I'm looking forward to a tutorial on making a font from your handwriting too, I've read down through a few comments here and see that it's on your list ;-) I just have a quick question if you don't mind answering? How does Canva distinguish between a Picture and a Background? I want to upload my own background to use - would it just be a matter of using it as a "photo" and stretching out to the size of the project each time or is there a way to make it a "background" that automatically fills the whole project like the Canva backgrounds do?
So happy you enjoyed it, Lisa! 🙏 You can easily add a photo as a background in Canva. You'll notice that once you stretch it out, it will automatically snap in place and once you deselect it and then select it again, it will no longer show its full dimensions, only the shape of the Canvas. To correct the position, you need to double click on the photo and you can play around with it again. If you want multiple pages with the same background, you can simply hit the duplicate button which is located slightly above your design to the right. Hope this helps!
This was a very helpful video for someone brand new to Canva. I can't wait to start designing immediately. Much appreciated!!
Yay, this genuinely makes me so happy! Good luck on your Canva journey and thank you for taking the time to watch 😊 Btw, I posted an updated full tutorial on my channel not to long ago!
This is a thorough tutorial...I'm going to watch again and take notes. Far better than any other videos I've viewed to date. Thank you
Love to hear that! 💕 Thank you so much Denise, I’m glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much, Natalia! This is a well done video presentation. I have a Canva account but I'd now like to sign up for Canva Pro. Can that be done through your affiliate link? I'm happy to help you if that is an option. Just let me know.
My pleasure and thank you so much for leaving a comment! 😁 Unfortunately, the affiliate link only works for new accounts but you can simply sign up for a Pro account when you're logged in. Go to the Pricing tab at the top of the Canva homepage and click Pro. You'll be able to try it for 30 days. Let me know if you need any more help!
Very Clear,Precise and Informative!
Thank You for Posting this Very Useful!!
I am a beginner and this video was awesome and really explains all of the uses for your Canva.
I’m so happy it was helpful to you, Anna! Happy designing ✨😊
