Designs I created using Canva for free! March art update
Hi there! Today’s feature Friday post is going to be short and sweet. I wanted to just check in with you and let you know what I’ve been working on. As you know I’ve been blogging for a little over 18 Months now and wrote a blog post called 14 lessons I learned after 18 months of blogging. If you haven’t read that post check it out. Since then, what I have learned along the way is that there are so many resources available to create graphics and art online for my blog. One website I’ve discovered in recent months is Canva!
What is Canva?
So you may be asking yourself, ” What is Canva?” If you are not familiar, Canva is a free graphic design tool website where professionals and average folks like you and me, can create designs online. In Canva you can create a variety of designs for free using drag and drop features. It’s really user-friendly however there are some limitations with the free version. Therefore, if you prefer more flexibility and variety of options, you can upgrade your free version to a paid subscription yearly or monthly as low as $12.95/month.
This website is great for anyone who wants to try graphics to enhance their blog with pins, design digital art or just explore a new way to make designs online using a different application. With that said, I’ve been learning as I go and have created a few new designs recently and sharing in today’s post!

Here are my most recent additions using Canva. Let me know which one is your favorite!

I use Photoshop so never really got into Canva – but great job working with it!
Hindy Pearson
I would be lost without Canva. They have all the features I need and it’s free! I could still use some design help but luckily they have amazing tutorials to help.
Michelle
I have never used Canva, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I love all your new designs, I can’t pick a favourite one, well done for your Redbubble shop!

Canva looks like a fun tool. For me, with my profession, I use the tools of my trade for everything but unless you’re a professional and willing to spend the money and learning effort on those, Canva sounds like an easy and cool tool to play with.

Canva seems like a really cool tool. Didn’t know about it. May just have to go check it out. I quite like the snow paw prints …
Katie Sample
I love Canva! I use it for a lot of my graphics on my social media and blog. It is a really great tool.
Amelia Johnson
I have been using the free version of Canva for mostly memes. I like your “favorite hello” the best. Canva really makes us look like pros.

I mostly just use Canva to create pins and other social media items. Your designs are lovely though. I’ll have to experiment some more!
Cathy Armato
These are lovely designs! I didn’t realize you used Canva for some of your designs. I use Canva when I need to add design to my photos. I also use Fotor.com & Picmonkey to lighten photos & add text overlay. They all have free versions.

After going to a session on Canva at BlogPaws last year, I decided to try it out. I got lost during the session, but didn’t give up. I discovered the things I wanted to do required the paid subscription, so that is what I am doing. There’s so much more to learn, but it’s a great application.
Kamira Gayle
Yes. Agree. I’m learning as I go and enjoying the process.
Kamira Gayle
Thank you!
Kamira Gayle
Thanks Beth! Stay tuned. More to come. 🙂
