Design a quote post with Canva for International Women's Day

Join me with this step-by-step on how to design a quote post from scratch/blank page for the theme International Women's Day. 

1. Open Canva: Log in to your Canva account or create a new one if you don't have one already.

2. Choose a template: Click on the 'Create a design' button and search for the 'Instagram Post' template. Choose the template that you like. I'm using instagram post, square (1080 x 1080 px)

3. Select a background: Click on the 'Background' option on the left sidebar and choose a background color or image that fits the theme of International Women's Day. I used white background for mine and added watercolour splash effect from the elements selection. 

4. Add a quote: Click on the 'Text' option on the left sidebar and select a font that you like. Type in the quote that you want to feature in the post. You add in quotes that you like or ask chatGPT for famous quotes and select from there. I am using this quote from Coco Chanel "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." I also added this year's theme which is, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality,”

5. Next, customize the quote: Use the editing tools to change the font size, color, and alignment to make the quote stand out.

6. Add a graphic: Click on the 'Elements' option on the left sidebar and search for a graphic or icon that complements the quote. Drag and drop it onto the post. I added peonies as it's my favourite flowers (tips for searching peony elements : type in peonies, peony leaves, line drawing peonies) 

This year's theme is, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality,” which highlights the role of innovative technology in promoting gender equality and meeting the health and developmental needs of women and girls. 

So, for the graphic elements, I searched for keyword "technology" and selected the image that suit into my quote design. And I also searched keyword "strong woman" and selected the graphic that I like to be in the design.

7. Then, customize the graphic: Use the editing tools to adjust the size, color, and placement of the graphic.

8. Lastly, download and share: Click on the 'Download' button at the top of the screen to save the post to your computer. You can then share it on your social media channels to celebrate International Women's Day!

That's it! With these simple steps, you can design a beautiful quote post to honor women on International Women's Day.

How to Get Creative with AI image and Amazing Mockup in Canva

I was curious with AI image creation and stumbled upon creator.nightcafe.studio and got excited as I first started created one image then to another image. The excitement began with curiosity of the idea in your mind and what will be the outcome of the image. As everyone has different imagination and ideas, I believe there will be no same images that can appear (unless probably if you can copy the exact same prompts? I'm not sure about that). Anyhow, here is one of my first AI image from creator.nightcafe.studio . You can go to their website and create for free. If you decided to explore more, you can login and they will give free credits everyday for you to claim. Fun right? 

So, the next step that I thought of after creating this image is to edit it in Canva.  One of the feature that I discovered and like in Canva is the smartmockups tool. I just discovered about it when I was designing a wedding table signage and wedding invitation card where I would like to see how will the design fit. With this AI image, I tried and did a mockup of a mug with the image in Canva. However, this feature can only be used in Canva Pro. But you can always try their Canva free trial for 45 days  without any charges. I think they offered that for a limited time offer. I started with their free Canva and then Canva pro trial after.  Here is how the mockup page looks like. Basically, you can select type of mockup that you want and just drag and drop your design to it.

Here it is the design on a mug. So, you can actually send your design creation to a mug printer shop and get your desired image on it. Imagine the endless possibilities that you can do depending on what you like. It could be printing your AI creation images on your notebook cover, tags, stickers, planners, pillow case and so on.

After seeing the mug, I have another idea... which is to make another mockup of my computer table with the imagination of using the mug with my AI beautifully created image. Here it is... tadaaa.... 

So, next time you have an idea or image creation that crossed your mind, don't forget to create it or you can even create something from it and make it as a personalized gift to your friends or loved ones.

Where is my coffee mug? Can you spot it? Wordings designed in Canva too (they have a wide varieties of font types and style and colours too!)

Hope you enjoy to learn about this smartmockup tool in Canva as much as I did and I am still learning and exploring. 

Let me know what feature or tool did you discovered first in Canva. Don't forget to start with their free Canva if you would like to have a peek on it first.

Kawaii Inspired Canva Design - Motivational Quote

Today, i made a kawaii design in canva for a motivational quote when you are feeling blue. The kawaii cloud represent the sad feelings but trying to fight it off, hoping and dreaming that one day it will all be magical joyful like a unicorn. The other kawaii cloud represent kawaii heart shapes dancing over the blushing cloud - representing the feelings of wanting to be happy while dwelling in the sadness. Overall, the colour theme is a mixed pastel happy colours to oversome one's sadness.

 

 

“Don't cry over someone who wouldn't cry over you.” 

― Lauren Conrad

They say it’s normal to feel sad at times as it is to be happy! 

Remember that sadness is just one of the many emotions we experience as we go through our ups and downs of life. Trust the process and one day, everything will be fine. To everyone out there who struggle with their emotions at times or feeling down and blue, pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Take time to figure out the next steps.

Hope you will have a brighter better day tomorrow and for the days to come.

xoxo

Wedding Boho Theme - Wedding Invitation Card Idea

Tried a simple design in Canva with bohemian-themed wedding idea -Boho weddings is a theme that incorporate an eclectic mix of natural, rustic, and vintage details into the design. There's a lot of choices of font in canva and if you are to edit on your own, you have to go through a lot of the fonts before deciding with the one you like. As for the theme, it's easily searchable with the right colour palette to mix and match. As for the elements/images to insert, there are plenty of images that is available; which will also take some time to design your template especially if you are new to canva. This is my take on a draft for wedding invitation and save the date card for boho themed wedding. This is for those who likes minimalist simple boho wedding theme.
