today i'm creating printable wall art in
canva saving it in multiple sizes so my
customers have options and i'm going to
upload it as an etsy listing with the
best keywords i could find for it this
is going to be a step-by-step tutorial
so grab a coffee or tea and you can
follow along hi i'm sandra and i help
you create and sell your digital
products online so be sure to subscribe
and hit that bell for more content like
this every week let's start by hopping
on to canva you can create printables
for free using their free version but if
you do want access to their pro features
i have a 30 day free trial link in the
description box below so let's start by
going to create a design on the top
right corner here and click on custom
size
so for this one i'm going to create a 16
by 20 inch artboard create new design
now just a reminder i'm offering
multiple sizes so i'll pop up the size
chart again i actually include this as
an image in the etsy listing later but
right now i'm creating the 16 by 20
inches that's under the 4x5 ratio now
this is the only one i'm creating under
this column because when the customer
receives this they can scale this down
to 12 by 15 inch um eight by 10 inch
because these are all the same width to
height ratio okay so hopefully that
makes sense i'll explain it again when i
create the second ratio size all right
the first thing i'm going to do is add
text so i'm going to click on text right
here
click on add a heading and i'm creating
a positive affirmation printable so i'm
going to start by typing in some of the
words that i want on here so i want
i am worthy
i am loved okay that's good so i'm going
to change the font by going up here
and i'll choose this one
i'm going to change the size so i can
change it by going up here
or i can kind of drag these corners okay
and to make sure that i'm positioning
this in the middle i'm going to go to
position
center
so now i want to add some graphics up
here and i've actually already
downloaded a graphic from creative
fabrica that i have a commercial license
to so creative fabrica is a great place
for you to get fonts and graphics that
you can use in your digital products and
right now i've actually partnered with
them to allow you guys to have access
for seven days for just one dollar and
you get unlimited access to their
digital resources and yes this includes
a commercial license so like i mentioned
it's one dollar for the first seven days
it does renew for 19 a month but you can
cancel at any time so i'll leave a link
for that in the description below now
just to show you how i found my graphic
i went into the search bar here and i
typed in botanical leaf outline so you
just want to type in some keywords of
what you're thinking of adding to your
product and i think i downloaded i think
it was this one here but there's a lot
of different options you can go through
them so if you click here all you have
to do is just click download and what i
do recommend you do is always read the
commercial license so when you click on
this it directs you to the commercial
license terms and conditions so i'll
actually link that for you down below if
you have any questions on how you're
allowed to use these fonts and graphics
now once you've downloaded your graphics
onto your computer just go back to canva
and go to upload and then you're going
to click on upload media so that you can
bring in the graphic into your artboard
now i've already done that right here so
this is the one i'm going to use so i
just clicked on it and it just shows up
on my artboard so i can change um the
size and i can kind of rotate it and
play around with how i want this to look
okay so now i'm just going to bring this
down here i'm also going to add some
color behind this and
i created this blob um in adobe
illustrator but you can find
blobs like this uh under creative
fabrica as well
you can create it yourself and canva
actually has some free features so if
you go into elements here and you type
in something like blob i'm saying blob a
lot but there's a lot here that you can
actually use so i'm going to right click
and send it to the back and i'm just
going to flip it so i went up to flip it
here and flip it this way
rotate
and i'm going to make it lighter so i'm
going to go up to transparency and let's
change it to 60 just so that it's a
little bit softer okay so i'm going to
just center
all of this now the last thing i want to
do is i'm actually just going to change
the color of these words so i'm just
going to highlight it and go to text
color i'm going to change it to this
dark
nude pink or whatever that is but i kind
of like it so i'm going to change all of
these to this color okay i'm happy with
that now i'm going to save it so i'm
going to go to share at the top right
and go to download now the tricky thing
about canva is that if you were to save
it as a png or a jpeg it doesn't save as
300 dpi so it's not going to be high
resolution especially because you want
the customers to get high quality
products from you right so the highest
quality that you can get from canva is
you want to go to pdf print and it even
says here it's best for printing so
we're going to select that and we're
actually going to select cmyk that's
best for printing and we're going to
download it now if you want to offer
jpeg files what i recommend you do is
you can actually look up on google
something like convert pdf to high
resolution jpeg and there will be
multiple websites where you can drag in
your pdf and it will convert it to a
high resolution jpeg file just make sure
you check the properties of your jpeg
file after it's been downloaded to make
sure that it's at least 300 dpi so for
this one i'm going to offer it as a pdf
and what i'm going to do is i'm going to
go to resize at the top here because now
i want to save it as a different size so
the next one i'm going to do is 18
by 24 inches now back to my size chart
this is the 3 to 4 ratio and this is the
only one i'm creating for that one
because again this will be the same
width to height ratio for all the other
ones under that column now you'll also
notice that this has a crown right
beside it you can only do this under the
pro version so if you want to create
another size i recommend going back to
the home page go back to create a design
and you can go 18 by 24 inches
and then create a new design and then
just copy all of the elements from your
first artboard onto your new artboard
and save that so for this one i'm going
to use the resize pro feature and i'm
just going to click on resize
and it automatically resized my artboard
to 18 by 24 so i'm going to go to share
again so same process download i'm gonna
save it as a pdf print and i'm gonna hit
download now i'm gonna do this for the
two to three ratio and then i'm going to
save it as a five by seven inch and then
eleven by four inch so i'm gonna go
ahead and do that and then save it in a
folder the next thing i want to do is
create pretty mock-ups for my etsy
listing images so what i'm going to do
is i'm going to go back to share and i'm
actually going to save this as a jpeg
file and you'll see why i'm going to
download it as a jpeg and then you'll
see it downloaded here so i'm actually
just going to drag it in here because
i'm saving it as an upload onto canva
now i'm going to go back to the home
page
go to create a design custom size and
this time i'm going to change it to
pixels
and etsy recommends having images that
are a minimum of 2000 pixels as the
shortest side so i'm just going to do a
2000 by 2000 pixels so it'll just be a
square image okay so i'm actually going
to duplicate my page
twice so i've got three
mock-ups that i'm going to create and
you'll see how quickly um you can do
this so i'm gonna go to uploads and i've
already uploaded three mock-ups here so
i get all of my mock-ups from creative
market
shutter stock creative fabrica and
pixabay okay so i'm going to click and
i'm just going to fit it nicely into
these artboards so let's go ahead and do
that
that one looks good and this is the way
i like to do it i just literally upload
all of them at the same time kind of fit
them nicely into the artboard and then i
will drag in
the actual print all right now i want to
fit my print onto the frame so like i
said that's why you need the jpeg in
your uploads so i'm just going to click
on that
and i'm going to zoom in a little bit
and just try to fit it in
as nice as possible into your frame so
just line it up as best you can
and i'm going to do the same thing for
the other two
okay those look good now i'm going to go
to elements and i'm going to add a
circle because i want them to know that
this is a digital download so i'm going
to go to text
add a heading and i'm just going to type
in
digital download
let's move that here and i'm going to
use this font
okay that looks good i'm just going to
copy so command c and then i'm going to
paste it into the other two as well all
right now i'm just going to download all
of these as jpeg files if you're getting
value from this video so far please hit
the like button and let me know in the
comments what kind of printables you
currently sell the last thing i want to
show you before we hop on to etsy is you
can see i've saved all five pdfs so this
one is the four by five ratio i've got
the three by four ratio
two by three ratio and then i've got my
11 by 14 inches and then five by seven
inches so i'm going to compress this
folder so basically i'm going to offer
it as a zipped folder now hop on to shop
manager in your etsy shop and go to add
a listing on the top right here and the
first step is to add your photos so i've
already created my mock-ups so i'm just
going to add those in okay that looks
good so now i'm just going to add the
size chart in as well so that the
customer knows what they're getting
so i'm going to add this in here so now
they know that this is a digital
download and includes five high quality
pdf files and then it shows them all the
sizes that they're getting
so i'm gonna go down here you can add a
video i do have a video for some of mine
but i haven't created one for this one
just yet now the title this is where
keywords are really important because
etsy is a search engine and the better
your keywords are
the more of a chance you have in getting
found so i've already created a title
here and i'm going to copy and paste it
in and i'm going to explain
how i got all of these words so i put in
a long tail keyword phrase
so basically it's just a very
descriptive keyword phrase of my listing
so i've put in i am enough self love
positive affirmation printable wall art
and then i've also put in botanical
printable mindfulness gift for positive
energy and self-care so you're probably
wondering where the heck did i get these
keywords there's two ways that i try to
find the best keywords for my new
listings one is i will actually go on to
etsy and i will search up quote-unquote
my competitors and i will see what
they're using in their title now i don't
just copy and paste what they're using
because sometimes their keywords are not
that great or they're not very relevant
to my actual item but i will still go in
to get an idea of what they're using and
then i'll make note of that and then
i'll use ones that are similar or just
more relevant so i actually just
searched positive affirmations on etsy
and then i would go in i would click on
some of these that are similar to mine
and i would see what they're using in
their title okay so that's one the
second way is i go into marmalade so
marmalade is an etsy keyword search tool
that i use now i go into detail on how
to use marmalade in this video here so i
recommend you go watch that next i'll
link it down below for you and i also
have a 14 day free trial link for you to
try marmalade for yourself and the more
descriptive you can get in your title
and tags the better so of course you
want to fill in as much as possible of
the title i still have a few characters
left but i'm happy with that
so i'm going to now go through the
listing so who made it i did a finished
product let's put the year and then for
this i'm going to uh put under category
digital prints so for primary color um
it's a pink and secondary i'll put black
and then i'm going to select vertical
and unframed here and then for home
style
um let's do contemporary so i'm gonna
leave occasion and celebration blank for
now and then you can select up to five
rooms that this printable could be in so
i'm going to select bedroom
uh let's do dorm bathroom and office
let's do living room too sure uh and
then let's do for subject i'll put in
inspirational saying let's do love and
friendship and then
phrase and saying and then this i put an
automatic renewal option because i hate
having to manually renew it so i just
keep it at automatic and then i will put
in a digital product so that's really
really important make sure you click
digital now for your description i'm
going to copy and paste my description
and i will explain um kind of what i
recommend putting in your description so
i have a whole video highlighting why
the description is so important and
actually breaking it down step by step
in this video you can also watch that
next but i will quickly run through it
here so i like to put in
some keywords within the first couple of
sentences so i've already put in looking
for
self-love affirmation printable wallet
to manifest your goals and focus on
self-care this digital print is for you
so um this helps you get found in google
search if you include keywords in the
very beginning and then i lay out
exactly what they receive so i put it
all into sections so i put in what you
will receive and then i've mentioned
that it's five high quality pdf files
and i always like to add in additional
options so i'll put in other listings
that are very similar to this one in my
shop if they wanted to add it to their
cart or they want an alternative so
again you can check out the etsy listing
description video to get more details on
this so now i'm going to put this in a
section and i'm going to put it in
positive affirmations if you don't have
any sections yet you can just click on
add a section
it's really good to have sections in
your shop just so that it's easy for the
customer to navigate through so i'm
going to select positive affirmations
and then for tags i highly recommend
using all 13 tags now i've already
created them so i'm going to copy and
paste them into here you do want to
repeat some of the super relevant ones
in your title and then again you want to
use competitor research and some sort of
keyword search tool like marmalade to
get the best tags so i'm going to copy
and paste mine into here again your tags
are really important because it's going
to help you get found in etsy's search
engine okay so we're gonna set the price
i'm gonna put this at five dollars and
then i'm going to put
quantity of a hundred and then this is
where you upload your digital files so
like i mentioned i've created a zipped
folder so i'm going to upload my zipped
folder and i get a lot of questions on
what if the zipped folder is over 20
megabytes because that's the maximum you
can
put into or you can upload into etsy so
what i recommend is create a document
with like a dropbox link or something
like that that directs the customer to
that and then they can upload it onto
their computer that's if you can't
reduce the size of your files without
compromising the quality so there is
another file that i always upload for
the customer to receive as well and
that's an instructions file because i've
gotten a lot of questions before i
uploaded this on
how they print where they take it to
print so basically i took all of those
questions and answered them all in this
document so um it's just a pdf
instructions document that basically
tells them what to do when they receive
their zipped folder and then it just
lays out the sizes again for them and
then i tell them how they can print from
home
print at a local store and print online
so you don't have to do this but it is a
nice touch and i've gotten positive
reviews because of this so um that's a
little pro tip for you there and there
it is right there so i don't have to do
anything if the customer purchases it
because etsy will automatically send the
zipped folder and that pdf instructions
that i've already uploaded now to
increase the price per order i would
create other listings with maybe three
prints or like a set of four or
something like that so that i can
increase it to let's say fifteen dollars
twenty dollars if you're looking for
ways to again increase the price per
order if you are working on your
printable shop you can grab my free
checklist from the description box below
i also have an etsy digital product
seller workbook that will help you get
started on the right track make sure to
sign up for creative fabrica using the
link down below to get your first seven
days for only one dollar after that it
does renew for nineteen dollars per
month
and you get unlimited access to all of
these fonts and graphics you can cancel
at any time if you found this video
helpful give it a like and be sure to
head over to this video next where i
show you where you can sell your
printables on another platform that i'm
also currently using so i'll see you
there
