hey guys and welcome back to my channel i'm maddie if you're new here welcome i am going to show you guys how i make my planner inserts on canva i had a few people ask excuse me if i could show them just how to do it i mean it's not rocket science but i definitely i i had to youtube it the first time i had to do it so i'm just going to walk you guys through it just to show you guys also don't forget to don't have an account go ahead and make an account and i'm going to go on my personal account because i actually pay for the business one so that would not do you any good because it has features obviously um so yeah i will see you guys on the other side okay so if you guys are logged in and you got your account set up and everything then uh i guess go ahead and move on with this video but if not then pause it and um watch it when you are ready the first thing i was i still need to do the screen recording i forgot so now we're into canva and this is like i said my personal account so there's all kinds of ways where you can go about this it just really depends on what kind of inserts you're trying to make um i make mainly like my schedule some checklists things like that i don't really i don't i don't make like weekly spreads or anything like that because i love all the shops i shop at and i i just i haven't honestly been interested in doing that so um i'm just going to show you guys how i would do um a planner insert right now so so yeah you can like search here and i mean i guess these are things that i already searched but then there's all of these like you can design anything and this is for free so it's pretty awesome you just have to be careful with if you do have your card on here sometimes they trick you and you have to like pay like a dollar for certain kind of graphics and stuff so just be careful if you do put your card on here um i don't recommend it starting out but um so these are like some old stuff you can save your your um designs on here i i always export them but they automatically save as well so it's whatever your preference is on here it's really convenient because then you can just go back and edit it if you messed up or if you need to change something or something changed um but when i first started so i wanted like a structured like schedule um so i so the first thing you want to do is create a design and then custom dimensions i'm going to do um a5 size i will check the description for the other dimensions you can obviously look and if you don't i mean some of you definitely already know but if you don't know the dimensions then you can just google any of the planner inserts um so yeah i'm gonna do the a5 size i always forget what it is though and always do this first because if it's in pixels it's and you enter that it won't let you change like if you change it so look if i go to pixels it's going to adjust this for me it's so annoying so you have to like adjust it every time it took me so long to do that to to remember so always make oh wait see i just did it so make sure it's in inches first it's just a little tedious okay and it always i think you can change that but it always opens up a new tab which is sometimes convenient okay so now we have our a5 or whatever planner insert size and then so i'm going to make a schedule so i can type in you can type in anything and see what you can just kind of play with it i like to type in like actual schedule and you can either a lot of the times i will just pick i will just pick like something that i kind of like a lot of them are just a little too i mean they're really pretty and they're i love that they have templates but you know a lot of this is a little distracting to me but it's whatever your preference is i don't i can't really work with any of that i could probably work with this okay no no no i need to do i should have done planner maybe something will come up i'm just looking for like a monday through let's not do that one that one popped a fan well i can just make it myself it's just it takes a little bit of practice to center everything here's one this is kind of what i've been looking for but honestly it's so ugly well it doesn't matter so um yeah you can just play with it and you can just grab everything so i'm going to delete that i'm going to delete the background um you know and you can just like add your own touch to it go to text and then you can add all these text just make sure that it says free you can we're not going to do music or videos background and you can search backgrounds i don't really do backgrounds but that's just because i do basic inserts i don't i don't get too crazy photos you can upload your own photos too so yeah they have like a lot of cool like free photos too that you can use but yeah that's pretty much it so i'm just going to well i guess i can show you a couple others so if you like type in planner oh wait that's the wrong thing where's the templates at you know you're going to get a bunch of these different inserts and they're different layouts and you can really change these to make it to your liking and it's really really cool how they do that because i've used plenty of templates on here and then i change it to where it doesn't even look like it doesn't even look like the original insert it's just kind of it's a template it's just there to get you started and and it's it's kind of hard it's kind of tricky to size things so for instance since i'm doing a ring planner i always like to leave a little extra space here so even though it says because okay you see that box that's like the center but since the rings are over here it's gonna look a little wonky so i like to just bring it that's a little too much that's probably good something like that okay this is just too ugly we can't do this okay i'm going to pause and then i'm just going to make my schedule real quick and then i will show you guys how to like save it and everything [Music] okay so i just wanted to show you guys um this is the template that i used and um this is what it came out to be so much different but i just used it as like an outline so now all we have to do is save it so i'm not going to save the second page so i just have to make sure that you're going to go to download and then you're going to change the file type you're going to go to pdf high quality multi-page document and you're going to check mark the crop marks if you are printing it for a planner or whatever and then all pages no just stop page and then download and then it'll be right here and then oops oh that's really small why is it doing that so i always drag it here and then i'm going to save it as my work schedule and then there you go so all you have to do is go to print and then you just have to make sure it's at 100 or actual size and then that's it um yeah so i'll print it and see how that goes but yeah if you guys have any other questions about how to make planner inserts or any specific ones just let me know i'm not an expert but i definitely have made my fair share so um i'm willing to help as long as you need me to so that's it for this video guys um i do have another video of like how to print and cut inserts so that's why i'm stopping it right here since i already explained that um so i'll leave a link for that or just like look at the cards and yeah so um let me know if this was helpful if you have any other questions or suggestions um please leave them below or message me on instagram thank you guys so much and i'll see you next time bye you
