you'll learn how to create a digital business card, virtual business card and physical business
First off, if you don’t have a Canva account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to sign up for free. Once you’ve logged in to your Canva account, click on
the search bar up top, and search for 'business card'.
There are a number of Canva digital business card templates that you can choose from, including
regular business card, business card (square), rounded business card and vertical business
card. Once you've located a Canva business card template type that you wish to customize,
such as a regular business card, click on it.
Canva has a number of digital business card templates that you can choose from, or you
can click on 'create a blank business card' up top to start your Canva digital business
card design from scratch. You can even filter the business card templates by style, theme
and color. Once you've located a digital business card template in Canva that you wish to customize,
such as this 'Business Development Business Card', click on it to edit it.
Just like with any Canva template, you can click on any of the existing elements on your
digital business card design, and then on the options that appear on the panel up top
to edit them. For instance, let's change the man's image to an image of me by clicking
on 'uploads' from the left-hand side panel, locating the image from my uploaded files,
and then dragging and dropping that to the left-hand side of the digital business card
design.
We can also remove the background so that just I appear. For a detailed tutorial on
how to do that, make sure to watch my video on 'How To Remove A Background In Canva'.
I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
Let's also change the company name to Yes To Tech, the name to Marina Lotaif, the job
description to Founder & CEO, remove the phone number, change the email address to marina@yestotech.com
and the website to www.yestotech.com.
We can also click on the colored elements, and then on the color picker up top to change
them to our brand colors. Since I’m a Canva Pro user, which you can also try out for free
by clicking on the link in the description box below, I can add my own brand kit with
my brand colors to Canva.
If you want to know how to customize those, make sure to watch my video on ‘What Is
A Canva Brand Kit + How To Customize A Canva Pro Brand Kit’. I’ll leave the link to
it in the description box below.
Feel free to change any other element on this first page of the digital business card, as
well as on the second page, and to add any additional elements, uploads, photos, text,
and more to your digital business card in Canva. For an entire walkthrough of all of
the available elements in Canva that you can add to your digital business card design,
make sure to watch my video on ‘How To Use Canva’. I’ll leave the link to it in the
description box below.
Once you're done using Canva to design your digital business card, rename your digital
business card design up top, and then click on the downward pointing arrow. Feel free
to save your digital business card as a PNG high quality image, JPG small file size image,
PDF standard or PDF print, select the pages you wish to save, and then click on the download
button to save your digital business card to your computer.
If you wish to not only have a digital business card, but also a physical business card, you
can do so directly within Canva. Instead of clicking on the downward pointing arrow, click
on 'print business cards' on the top, right-hand side, and then follow the steps that appear
on the screen.
Select whether you wish to save your print business cards as single sided or double sided,
select the pages to print, as well as your print paper options, including paper quality
(standard paper or premium paper), paper finish (matte, gloss or uncoated finish), and number
of copies (between 50 and 2000), and then click on 'continue'.
Make sure that you stretch your background so that you don't see any white edges in your
prints, check the danger zone by removing any important text or graphics from the danger
zone which might get cut off, and do a proof read to check for grammar, spelling mistakes,
dates or numbers (you can even download a PDF proof to double check your print), and
then click on 'continue'.
Choose your delivery method in business days (standard which is between 5 and 8 business
days or express which is between 2 and 3 business days), and fill out your information including
contact name, contact number, and street address, and then click on 'continue'
The last step is to confirm and pay. If you're happy with the type and quantity of business
cards that you're ordering, go ahead and click on 'place order' at the bottom.
