Every Etsy shop tends to look alike. Graphics are where you get to personalize your shop and brand your business! Use images in your banner, shop icon, and listing photos!
Why I created this workshop
I was an accountant for 20+ years. I am much better with numbers and spreadsheets than I am with the creative side. But I've loved exploring both halves of my brain. :) When I started using Canva my first designs were AWFUL. I'm pretty sure my Kindergartner could have done better lol. I didn't know where to find things, I had no idea how many pre-made templates there were or how to use them, and I had no clue of all the features Canva had to offer.
The purpose of this workshop is to break it all down for you step by step, with live videos so you can ask for help and get feedback on your designs. It's time to spice up your shop with new images!

"Canva is such a cool tool! Being able to enhanced your posts by using graphics, backgrounds and those QR codes are the best. It brings clients directly to your pages without all the searching. There’s so much to learn when you have an Etsy shop and this is one program that is well worth your time and money."
