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.

STEP THREE: ADD YOUR OWN PHOTOS
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.

Here you can change the font, FONT colors, size, lettering spacing, etc. You can also add some cool EFFECTS to your text. Don’t be afraid to play around!
