Thank you for watching! Do you think you will create printables using Adobe Illustrator or Canva? Let me know which platform you prefer! If there are any other tutorials you would like me to do on Illustrator, let me know in the comments!
You have no idea how helpful this tutorial is for me. I came here to learn about printables, but I've also learned so many tips and tricks just for my own general Illustrator use!
there is a channel on UA-cam name GFX MENTOR. all courses are present free there from A to Z. like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe illustrator, Adobe Premier, Adobe Affer effect, Adobecharacter animation, Adone USER INTERFACE etc. all are free and detail courses.
This is awesome, exactly what I needed. Thank you for showing that it is easy to create printables to sell online. I hadn't thought to use adobe to makes these. Look forward to making some digitals!

I use canva because it’s so easy but I like your Illustrator tutorial. I’ve never used Illustrator but I’ve been thinking about subscribing to it and you’re a good teacher. I think I could eventually get the hang of it. Can you make more tutorials?
WoW JUST WoW I have been following you for a while and I'm just now jumping in to give this a try. You are SUCH a good Educator. I love that you get right to the point and teach. Thank you So Much! However, now I have questions lol 1) Do you have a video on how to name your file folders? I have all the tools but it is a MESS! 2) How would you recommend organizing your File system? 3) What steps do you take to upload to Etsy once it's ready to upload? 4) Do you ever go Live and if so when?
Your vidoes have been so helpful. Thank you so much for clearly showing how to do this. I made a few mock photos and put them in my etsy shop... followed your instructions on advertising on pintrest..just to see if I could get any interest. it has been less then a week and I have over 12 visits to my store and I don't even have real product ready! Knowledge is power... thank you for sharing it with us
Thorough and helpful! I use Adobe Illustrator, and it's so neat to see how other designers like the set things up. I've been considering selling printables for a while now, so I appreciate this tutorial. Thank you! 👍
Thank you Sandra, this was very helpful. I heard you mention something about Licensing for Fonts and I am checking to see if i have the proper fonts for Licensing right now. I am Using all Adobe Creative Cloud software. This little tid bit of information, has probably saved me from alot of heartbreak. Thanks again!
This was so cute! yet also very easy to follow! I use Canva for ease yet it is also because I am not confident within illustrator. Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you for all your great tutorials - this one in particular helped me so much! Designing is easy for me but I was stuck on sizing and packaging the digital files for so long - I can finally move forward now :)
I absolutely love your videos, you are one of the only people who describe HOW to even create these items along with the functions. Do you prefer making wall art with adobe or canva? And how do you decide which wall art to make with what app?
Thank. you for the step by step tutorial on adobe illustrator. I love the program just find it a little be hard. You explained it so well. Glad I found your channel. Thanks again
Amazing video! Subscribed so fast :) I’m a graphic designer and have been wanting to get into selling digital downloads. Excited to read your free guide! Thanks again! 💓
Loved this tutorial!! I always thought I had to do image trace on everything in Illustrator which cause a loss of quality. Thank you so much for this video. Now I can use Illustrator for everything instead of going back and forth to Canva.
Hi Ashley! I actually have not used Adobe Spark before but now I might look into it lol I've been using Illustrator for years and it's my favorite software :) It's worth trying out their trial version just to see how you feel about it. I'll share more tutorials on Illustrator and Photoshop for sure!
@@SandraDi thanks so much for your reply!!! 😊can I ask since the 16”x20” is a 4x5 ratio, am I able to print the file on any 4x5 ratio paper like 8”x10” using this 16”x20” file? Sorry if this is a dumb question as I’m new to graphic design.
I love your tutorials, please make videos on fillable templates too, I always prefer Adobe, since I’ve been using it for a while. So if there’s a way to make template in Adobe, not Canva, I would love to learn.
Hello, thanks for sharing your content, it is very useful, you could make a tutorial to sell only the digital designs for them to download, specifically aimed at designs for sublimation so they can send them to be printed on their t-shirts. What I would like to know is, exactly what color profile to use. Illustrator, either RGB or sRGB to save as PNG, and what should the color mode be? And also, what measurement would be the correct one to consider as high resolution to offer to the client? If you can help me please
Thank you for your tutorials as they are quick and easy to follow. Since this is a printable, should the original file be created in CMYK rather than RGB? I see that some else had this same question before me.
Hi! Since CMYK is for printing, yes saving it to CMYK would be ideal. However after speaking with others in this niche, many still save it to RGB and the colors come out the same. In my opinion, it depends on the printers on the other end. So everyone does it differently but technically speaking, CMYK should produce more vibrant colors
This is my biggest concern and roadblock! I've saved things CMYK and RGB and both can come ou horid and neon. I'm using a pantone colour guide with cmyk values and even then it can come out looking nog even close. I've been a graphic designer for 8years and this still is a problem for me, aspecially for printables. Any advice?
Great information Sandra you taught me a lot in this video. I love how You created all your art boards in the same Adobe file. It seem very organized and I loved your approach. I have struggled with this myself so your video was a great help thank you
Hi there! That's a great question. I personally don't include an actual sheet. I include it in all of my listings. However I provide an "instructions" sheet with my listings and I am thinking of adding in a "legal rights" section. It just has to state that this is for personal use only and it cannot be re-distributed or resold. I would research the actual wording for this but I can share it in another tutorial when I create it :)
I'm just starting out and I can't believe I haven't been doing this already for years! So pumped! Which is better canva or illustrator? I'm using a windows.
Thanks for your video! Can someone use the printable wall art created by Adobe Express for commercial use, without having a paid subscription? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Amazing. I am subcribing... I am about to open my little e-store, and I didn't know how to save the images I created in Illustrator. Thanks you so much.
Thanks so much Katie! I know I love Canva too and I do use it often. I find that Illustrator just has a lot more functions to work with. But definitely love Canva!
Thank you so much for this video! But, how did you set up that tool bar on top??? I do not have the icons like new artboard or embed. Anyone know how to get that tool bar up there?
Hi, do you think it be possible to make a video on Trademarks? As some quotes which can be used for artwork eg. ‘Be kind’ is trademarked so not allowed to use. How do we check & be safe. And where can we get quotes fir commercial safe use to use in our art printables ? Thank you.
Hi there! That's a great question. Yes I will eventually include a video that speaks more to checking for copyrighted phrases/quotes you cannot use. The best option is to always do a search to see if it is trademarked or not. I can show examples of that
hi thanks for sharing, I just want to ask on how to import the editable business card made in adobe illustrator and for upload in Esty as digital print template? Thank you in advance.
In your Canva tutorial, you mentioned creating there and exporting to Illustrator for higher quality. Is it as simple and saving from Canva and then opening and resaving from Illustrator? I want to make sure that my buyers are getting the best quality prints for their money but want to have an easy time creating the graphics
Hi Denise! No I don't take it from Canva and export in Illustrator. I personally create everything in Illustrator and export it from here. In Canva, JPGs are not 300 dpi, but the PDFs are high quality. You can try taking the PDFs and converting it to a high quality JPG using a free convert online :) I would just google it. Hope that helps!
This is a really helpful vedio and easy to follow. Thank you so much for such an easy tutorial. I have a question do you provide bleed with wall art? I am really confused about this.
Great question! I know some people do. I personally don't and I have not had any issues with it. Some printing places require it and others add it themselves so that's why I decided not to include it. But you totally can!
Your videos are just so easy to follow and I love how you get straight to the point yet explain everything someone needs to know! Question: I'm just learning how to use Illustrator and kinda playing around with it cause I want to create a couple of artworks to frame and put on my walls. I want one of them to be 24x36, so it's on a larger scale. What file format do you think I should save it as considering it's a large scale? I went on Etsy and saw that most sellers sell large-scale prints as jpg or even png but isn't jpg a lossy file? Will it print at a high resolution if I save it as a jpg (considering jpg is a lossy file)? I'm obviously going to set the dpi at 300 but it could still just drop the resolution and print pixelated and I definitely don't want that 😂 (Sorry for the long comment)
Hi there! I sell large digital prints as well and they are saved from Illustrator at 300 dpi JPG files :). I've test printed them and they were fine! Hope that helps!
@@SandraDi Thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated!! I hope you don't mind me asking, is there a specific reason you (and most sellers on Etsy as far as I know) prefer JPGs over PDF for print when using Illustrator? Do JPGs files print better compared to PDFs?
Hi Sandra, which site would you suggest to download digital templates and sell them on etsy or other platform. Canva, placeit or creative market. I am planning to buy subscription so which will be good?
loved the detailed tutorial... so how do u get ur innovativeness to create such art.... do share where and how did u get ur interest to learn Graphic designing... Much Love
Hi! I studied Fashion Design a few years ago and one of the main courses was graphic design. I absolutely loved it and really explored my creativity when I was in that program :)
If I am a Canva Pro user, does it mean that I can use the designs I made anywhere I want even if I just change the colors and font of an existing template that I chose to use?
@@sanpls is it always best to design and save in cmyk for printables or should i just offer an rgb option for my customers? the files just get too big sometimes...?
@@annelikriek6294 Hi, CMYK is best for the printing process, I recommend to use CMYK color. I don't have much experience with printing with RGB colors. RGB color printing will depend on the printer. I have done a few RGB color illustration prints. The outcome is good with slight color changes. But It is alright. But there were slight color changes on the printed document. I saw bright colors on the computer screen, but the colors are not bright once I printed it. If you can do printing with both color profiles and check the difference with your own, the result will be great. You can see clearly the difference between RGB print and CMYK print.
@@SandraDi I need to know more about illustrator.Your tips are always so helpful! As a small UA-camr, I’ll take all the tips I can get. I hope you will check and subscribe my channel too.Keep up the great work!
Very helpful tutorial Sandra! Thank you so much. I use illustrator and will definitely follow this multi art board size trick you show on here. Would you recommend starting from largest frame size then scale down or starting from the smallest and scale up?
Thank you for all this wonderful information. I'm in the process of starting my digital Etsy shop and not sure if I should go with Canva or Illustrator. I'm leaning towards Illustrator so I'm not having to pay for each item I sell. In Canva, there is a charge, isn't there? My assumption is there is no charge to sell through Illustrator, other than the payment for the software. Can you confirm? Thank you!! I appreciate all your help.
Hello! I've create AI png files following your instructions - thank you! My 16x20 png (16x20in art board and design) is only 3.7MB - according to research I did for that size at 300dpi (I did select that upon export) it should be at least 28.8 MB. How do I create the larger file? Thank you!
I'm so glad you liked this video! A lot of fonts are free to use but some are only there for personal use. It's important to google them and research to make sure you're allowed to use them for products you want to sell :)
Thank you...thank you...thank you! This was very helpful. I am mainly going to use AI. Thank you for keeping your word. I really appreciate it. Question: Do I have to keep the margins at .05?
@@SandraDi Hello, Sandra. Thank you for always being helpful. Question: When a customer asks for a size I don't offer, how would you suggest I handle the payment process. For instance, do I let them pay first and get what I already offer, and send them an attachment of the size they asked for? Thanks for your help in advance. I hope that makes sense.
@@faithwoman8 Hi! This totally makes sense. Yes absolutely always have them purchase your product first - then send them their requested size to their email :)
hi, thank you so much for this tutorial Sandra! i'm using illustrator as well for my etsy shop that i'm going to start and i was wondering if their was a way to make it an editable template so the client, can change the name or date?
hi! ty so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. i have a few questions. what computer do you use ? just to be clear, on both Canva & AI you purchase both the fonts & graphics? you are able to load the font also on both programs? ty so much.

Will it print at a high resolution if I save it as a jpg (considering jpg is a lossy file)? I'm obviously going to set the dpi at 300 but it could still just drop the resolution and print pixelated and I definitely don't want that 😂
(Sorry for the long comment)
Hi there! I sell large digital prints as well and they are saved from Illustrator at 300 dpi JPG files :). I've test printed them and they were fine! Hope that helps!
@@SandraDi Thank you so much for your reply, much appreciated!!
I hope you don't mind me asking, is there a specific reason you (and most sellers on Etsy as far as I know) prefer JPGs over PDF for print when using Illustrator? Do JPGs files print better compared to PDFs?
Hi Sandra, which site would you suggest to download digital templates and sell them on etsy or other platform. Canva, placeit or creative market. I am planning to buy subscription so which will be good?
Hi there! Do you mean which platform you should use to create templates that you can sell? If so, I recommend Canva :)
Hey the videos are amazing.. can u help me in making my yearly planner
Thanks so much! You can watch my Canva tutorials which will help you! :)
Super interesting! I've only ever used Canva, but this looks good too :-)
Canva is a great platform as well! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for this awesome tutorial 💙❤️
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
loved the detailed tutorial... so how do u get ur innovativeness to create such art.... do share where and how did u get ur interest to learn Graphic designing... Much Love
Hi! I studied Fashion Design a few years ago and one of the main courses was graphic design. I absolutely loved it and really explored my creativity when I was in that program :)
If I am a Canva Pro user, does it mean that I can use the designs I made anywhere I want even if I just change the colors and font of an existing template that I chose to use?
This is great tutorial. very helpful.
I see you are using RGB color, do you change it to CMYK when you do the printing?
I really need advice regarding cmyk and rgb!
@@annelikriek6294 Hi friend, What do you like to know?
@@sanpls is it always best to design and save in cmyk for printables or should i just offer an rgb option for my customers? the files just get too big sometimes...?
@@annelikriek6294 Hi,
CMYK is best for the printing process, I recommend to use CMYK color.
I don't have much experience with printing with RGB colors. RGB color printing will depend on the printer. I have done a few RGB color illustration prints. The outcome is good with slight color changes. But It is alright. But there were slight color changes on the printed document. I saw bright colors on the computer screen, but the colors are not bright once I printed it.
If you can do printing with both color profiles and check the difference with your own, the result will be great. You can see clearly the difference between RGB print and CMYK print.
@@sanpls thank you so much for you friendly and fast replies. Thank you so much, this helps a lot!
amazing!!!
Thank you!! :)
Hi Sandra! Thank you for sharing this video tips. What is your thoughts using Canva? Which one is better Canva or Ai?
Hi! You're very welcome :). I do love Canva but Illustrator is definitely more robust with more tools to work with. So I personally prefer Illustrator
@@SandraDi I need to know more about illustrator.Your tips are always so helpful! As a small UA-camr, I’ll take all the tips I can get. I hope you will check and subscribe my channel too.Keep up the great work!
@@livefreewithjd Absolutely will do! And I will be doing many more Illustrator tutorials on my channel so hopefully those will be helpful!
Very helpful tutorial Sandra! Thank you so much. I use illustrator and will definitely follow this multi art board size trick you show on here.
Would you recommend starting from largest frame size then scale down or starting from the smallest and scale up?
Thank you for all this wonderful information. I'm in the process of starting my digital Etsy shop and not sure if I should go with Canva or Illustrator. I'm leaning towards Illustrator so I'm not having to pay for each item I sell. In Canva, there is a charge, isn't there? My assumption is there is no charge to sell through Illustrator, other than the payment for the software. Can you confirm? Thank you!! I appreciate all your help.
Hello! I've create AI png files following your instructions - thank you! My 16x20 png (16x20in art board and design) is only 3.7MB - according to research I did for that size at 300dpi (I did select that upon export) it should be at least 28.8 MB. How do I create the larger file? Thank you!
Amazing video! Thank you so much!
Is it necessary to have a license for each font you use? I has no idea you needed a license for those
I'm so glad you liked this video! A lot of fonts are free to use but some are only there for personal use. It's important to google them and research to make sure you're allowed to use them for products you want to sell :)
could I use those images to créate stickers too?
Thank you...thank you...thank you! This was very helpful. I am mainly going to use AI. Thank you for keeping your word. I really appreciate it. Question: Do I have to keep the margins at .05?
You're very welcome!! And no if people print it to size it should be ok :)!
@@SandraDi Hello, Sandra. Thank you for always being helpful. Question: When a customer asks for a size I don't offer, how would you suggest I handle the payment process. For instance, do I let them pay first and get what I already offer, and send them an attachment of the size they asked for? Thanks for your help in advance. I hope that makes sense.
@@faithwoman8 Hi! This totally makes sense. Yes absolutely always have them purchase your product first - then send them their requested size to their email :)
@@SandraDi Thank you Sandra. I appreciate it. Blessings!
@@faithwoman8 no problem! ❤
hi, thank you so much for this tutorial Sandra! i'm using illustrator as well for my etsy shop that i'm going to start and i was wondering if their was a way to make it an editable template so the client, can change the name or date?
I recommend Canva for that! :)
This was a helpful video! I have a question though. When purchasing on Creative Market, do you purchase the commercial or the extended commercial?
I purchase the commercial license :) but it depends on how you intend to use it so make sure to read the descriptions. Hope that helps!
@@SandraDi That was helpful, thank you!!
hi! ty so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. i have a few questions. what computer do you use ? just to be clear, on both Canva & AI you purchase both the fonts & graphics? you are able to load the font also on both programs? ty so much.
Hi! Yes I purchase commercial graphics and fonts and I can use them on both platforms. I have both a PC and a mac but I use Illustrator on my PC!
thank you for replying! i appreciate it
