In order to edit this personalized Mother’s Day photo card you need to first open it in Canva. If you don’t have an Canva account, it will ask you to register. There is a free and a Pro version. You only need the free version to edit this card. If you want to add certain cliparts to your card, you need a Pro version. However, if you are just editing the photos and adding text, the free version is all you need.

Upload your photos onto Canva using the UPLOADS icon on the left side menu. The uploads menu will show up, click on UPLOAD MEDIA–>DEVICE (if your photos are on your computer). You can also drag and drop your photos into UPLOADS.

Once you upload your photos, select one of your photos. Drag it over one of the photo placeholders I created on the card. Your photo should replace my photo within the circle or the heart.

If you don’t want the photos, simply select the photo and hit Delete on your keyboard twice (to delete the photo and the photo placeholder (Canva calls them Frames). Or you can select the photo, click on the garbage can on the upper right. Select DELETE FRAME.

BONUS: ADD MORE CLIPARTS

If you want to add more cliparts such as florals, you can search Canva wide selections of graphics by clicking on ELEMENTS icon on the left side menu. Some of the graphics have the yellow crown. This means that it is part of Pro Canva, which is a paid version. If you really want to use the graphic you have to pay $1 when you download your card. Each Pro graphics/elements are $1. You also have the option of trying out Pro Canva for free for 30 days, making all the crown elements of Canva free to use. Just remember to cancel before your trial is up so you don’t get charged.

PRINTING OUT YOUR CARD

I recommend printing these on high quality white cardstock. Use a scissor or paper trimmer for a more accurate and neater cut of your card. Fold the paper in half to complete your card.
