Sell SVG Cut Files on Etsy or Your Website - Canva FREE Tutorial

hey everybody welcome back to my channel and i forgot what i was about to say welcome back to my channel if you're new here i'm dana and i love helping your online business grow today's tutorial is really exciting because it's all about how to make an svg file or a cutting file for cricut and silhouette which is such a big craze these days with your cutting machines i personally don't own one but i want i've always wanted one just to play around with it but i do know how to make the files that you need to to upload into design space so this tutorial is mostly about if you want to sell svgs in your etsy shop or on your own website this is the right video for you to avoid getting in massive trouble do not steal anyone's intellectual property always check the commercial licensing on anything that you use in the us a good place to go is uspto.gov okay on the home screen we're going to go to create a design and if you scroll all the way down you see custom and that's what i hit and i'm going to click 3000 by 3000 pixels you can always type that in if you don't have that and i'm going to rename this file svg designs all right so i'm going to make a sips and trips and we're going to go up to elements first because i'm looking for a coffee element um and canva just changed this but it it's pretty still self-explanatory so when i go up here i'm going to type in coffee outline because svg files need to be outlined to make it easy for people to weed when they when they use a cutting machine so i like to make them easy so anyways i want to select free because i don't know if people who are watching this all have canva pro no one has canva pro and they're only using free so i'm gonna go and click the static and the free uh in the filter that you just saw me do all right so i'm just going to look around real quick to see if i find a design that stands out to me i don't really want it filled in with color but because like i said svg cutting files they're usually layered and when you upload them into design space there's usually different uh layers that stack up on top of each other and so we want to make it as easy as possible so i'm gonna make a pretty flat uh design here this this is good but it's not quite what i'm looking for i don't really like the center of this it's not very easy to see and i think that'd be really hard to cut so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go back and i'm going to look for something else now canva has a cool way of having these magic recommendations which is perfect because it was hard for me to find this just by typing in right so i'm going to pick this one for now but as you can see there's a lot more magic recommendations that you can go into if this one still isn't your cup of tea all right so next i'm going to go up here and type in the word line because i just want a separator i'm gonna go to graphics and i don't know why it's it's hard for me to find a line right now but i'm gonna try to find one um oh that one's different i just want a standard line okay so since i can't find that right now and i don't want to make you guys wait i'm going to choose this one and i'm going to flip it over to 90 degrees you can see the degrees there change it to black um i don't like this box at the end the square so i'm gonna crop it out so i just hit crop make this a little smaller hit crop and crop that box out by simply just dragging the edges over the box perfect okay so now i'm just going to put this in the center here try to line it up as much as possible um and then i'm going to go and look for a target like a bullseye cause sips and trips is kind of insinuating that you love starbucks and that you love target runs all right so this one's good i like this but again i don't want it red so i'm going to center this a little bit make it a little bit i don't know i think that looks good for right at the second but we're going to go up and change the color of that target to black so go up here change it to black all right now i'm gonna add text so i'm gonna go over and make this a little smaller first move it down all right i'm happy with that i'm happier i don't know if i'm super happy with the target but we'll mess with that later let's go over to our text box and add some text okay text and we're going to add a heading okay make this bigger and move it under my coffee and then i'm going to put in the word sips okay and then i'm gonna try to play around with some uh fonts my favorite font right now is in the amsterdam family um you'll see that there's four different types of amsterdam and i don't know it's too big of an s let me keep playing around i like it but it might not work let's see no i think i'm going to just stick with amsterdam 3 since that has a smaller s okay i like that that's not too bad so i'm going to go back to amsterdam three and then i'm gonna copy and paste by using command c and command v but you know obviously you might have different hotkeys than me i have a macbook so i'm gonna center this make an and um and then i'm going to center this a little bit more go back to my simpson and copy again put it under the target and then i'm going to put trips and you know okay let me move these trips over a little bit more and i'm happy with that okay i selected everything to make it bigger okay i'm not happy with this coffee so i'm gonna try to look for another one and show you how easy it is to change it going back to elements typing in coffee outline um you can always type in anything you want i'm gonna go to these magic recommendations and i'm gonna go and pick this one with the circle in the front because it's more starbucksy make it bigger um i wish the outline was a little thicker of a line but it's okay you guys get the point of what i'm doing here okay i don't like this target either it's too i don't like that it's only two uh two circles all right so i'm gonna go down and okay i like this one because it has three so it looks a little bit cleaner and it just looks better better all around all right let's move this make it smaller ah make it smaller and move it up so much happier with this um now we're going to move it up a little bit and then we're going to download so now let's say we're done with our svg now we want to make it an svg right so i'm going to go up to here and make it a ping with a transparent background which you can only do if you have a canva pro however so i'm gonna download this right now put it on my put it on my desktop and but if you don't have camera pro and you want to do this for free download it as a jpeg okay i have the option to make the quality better so i always do that so i'm downloading as a jpeg and i'm going to go to removebg.com okay remove vg.com and i'm just going to drag and drop this jpeg right into remove bg so as you can see it looks great here now you can download an hd but you have to sign up i'm just going to download the regular download see if you hit download hd it's going to ask you to sign up i don't need to sign up you might want to to keep the size in the resolution so i know this looks crazy right now but this is what it looks like on my mac preview and if you go up to tools you can go to change size and i can make the resolution 300 dpi now if you don't have a macbook that's why i recommend signing up so you can get that size okay moving back to our canva template i wanted to quickly show you that canva pro does have the option to download as svg but what i found is that it still needs some work it's pretty new for canva and what i found is that when i download that people can only open that svg in a design space but they can't open it in anything else like photoshop or illustrator it turns out blank so i go to this website called convergio they have a free plan and what you can do is you can simply drag and drop the ping that you downloaded either with remove bg or from canva pro and you can download it right here and you can switch it to svg and hit convert convergio has a paid subscription if you are downloading lots of files and converting lots of files on the daily but if you just if you're just converting one it's no it's no big deal at all if you have any questions let me know down in the comments below and if this helped you please don't forget to give it a like as it really helps my channel grow and i will see you guys next week bye you
