If you’re viewing this, you’re probably having trouble finding the Canva template you just purchased from my Etsy shop. No worries, you’re in the right place! Below, you’ll find step-by-step instructions on where to find it and how to get started using it.

Step 1

Download, save, and open the PDF file from your Etsy purchase.

Step 2

Carefully read through the document. Toward the bottom, you’ll see a gold/yellow box. It may have more or less links than the one pictured here. Find the one that mentions your Canva template. Click the underlined link.

Step 3

You may or may not get a security warning popup box like this one. Click Allow.

Step 4

A window or tab will open in your default web browser. Click the button that says Use Template.

Step 5

You’ll be asked to log in to Canva if you’re not logged in. Don’t have a Canva account? It’s SO incredibly easy to set one up! The best part is that they’re free! If you’re a teacher, you get to use Canva Premium for free as well. Choose your method of login to continue to your template.

If you have the Canva Desktop app installed on your device, it may open your app automatically or you’ll see a message like the one pictured.

That’s it! In 5 steps, you’ve accessed your Canva template. If you find that you still need help with Canva, check out their Help page. It’s got a ton of great info to help you customize your designs.
