How to Begin Editing & Save Your First Template

Welcome to Leslie Kay Creates! We're excited to help you elevate your travel business with our customizable templates. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to start editing your first template in Canva and save it for your clients. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Open Your Template

  1. Click the Link: Once you've purchased your template, open the link provided in your download.
  2. Use Template: A new window will pop up with the message, "A template created by Leslie McCracken was shared with you, start designing now." Simply click the purple button that says "Use Template".
  3. Start Editing: Canva will open your template, ready for customization!

Step 2: Customize Your Template

Now that your template is open, it’s time to make it your own!

  • Double-Check Text: Ensure all text is accurate and fits your travel planning style.
  • Swap Out Photos: Replace any images with ones that better match your client’s needs. You can easily upload and drag-and-drop new photos into the template.

Pro Tip: Personalizing your template not only saves time but also ensures your documents look polished and professional. This is your moment to shine!

Step 3: Save and Share Your Customized Template

Once you’re happy with your edits, it’s time to save and share your work with your clients.

  1. Click Share: In the top right corner of Canva, click "Share".
  2. Download as PDF: Select "PDF Standard" from the download options—this ensures all links within the document work perfectly.
  3. Select Pages: If you only want to send a few pages instead of the entire document, click "All Pages" and deselect the ones you don’t need.
  4. Save: Download the file and it’s ready to send to your client!
