Is it possible to mask shapes (that do not have corresponding frames) in canva. Say I wanted to make a Twitter icon... but rather than have a solid color logo on a patterned tile, I want to have a solid color tile, with a pattern end the logo. Is this possible in Canva or so I have create the icons in I illustration or photoshop?
Great question! Canva does have some shapes that you can mask but it’s pretty limited when it comes to masking abilities - I don’t think there are any icons you can mask so your best bet is probably create the icons in an Adobe program.
Unfortunately this is the only font in Canva for the text mask feature. There are other ways to do it with Photoshop but I'm not familiar enough with it to make a video on it. Hope this helps!
Yes - if you save your finished letter frame as a transparent PNG, you can re upload it into Canva and create a border by clicking edit image, then click shadows, and select glow. Hopefully this makes sense! 😊
Unfortunately you can only use whatever font this is. I'm sure there are ways to use other font outside of Canva but I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to Photoshop and things like that. Hope this helps!!
Thanks for your help. The frames did not come up for me, so I had to put on frames. Then i put the background on, and put to the back, and if that didn't work, I put forward and moved it around, and prayed. and eventually it got on.
Alternatively Add all the alphabet frames required for the word you need eg LOVE - select all of them and resize and arrange them. Highlight / Select all the alphabets select Position > Tidy Up.
Unfortunately there’s not a work around for this in Canva yet. You could always try playing around with photoshop or other programs to see if there’s something easier 😊
All I want to know is how to insert a round black dot (but not as a bullet) into the text box on Canva. I found a black emoji, but it's too big and won't resize! Is there any keyboard stroke that Canva will accept and recognize? Thanks.
Hi there! I know it's a super late reply to your comment but if you hit "C" on your keyboard in your Canva design, it should pull up a circle you can resize. Not sure if it's small enough for what you're looking for but hopefully this helps! 😊

I haven't tried that but I"m not sure if it would work.

Can you change the font of the letters??
Not as of the last time I checked.
how do we get different fonts?

Is there a way to put a border around each letter frame?

@@DoingDigitalWithMegan now you have to show us lol.
L
quick question, but how do you do this in a different font? like if i wanted to use a collegiate font or arial bold? thank you so much!
Unfortunately you can only use whatever font this is. I'm sure there are ways to use other font outside of Canva but I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to Photoshop and things like that. Hope this helps!!
I love Canva except for this. You can use any font and do this in Picmonkey.
@@DoingDigitalWithMegan I have seen people use other fonts
Thanks for your help. The frames did not come up for me, so I had to put on frames. Then i put the background on, and put to the back, and if that didn't work, I put forward and moved it around, and prayed. and eventually it got on.
So glad you were finally able to get everything to work!! ☺️

Yes this works too!
there should be an easier way around this...this is too stressful

Did you type in letters, that’s what I had to do

It's easier with Canva than with Photoshop
I think so, too. I wish I was good with Photoshop but I've not messed around with it enough 😂
i thought this was actual text fonts.
It's just a text mask effect. Didn't mean to confuse anyone here 😊
