How did I Express my love to wife with Canva?

Do we need any particular day to celebrate our love for someone special in our life?

I believe your answer would be “No” and I also back the same thought. If we love someone then we need to express it unconditionally. Yes, fixing it with a particular day shows a condition of expressing it with some particular day or time.

I have not been so much expressive though I love my wife I always try to reveal my feeling to her through different mediums. We do dine-ins, traveling or watching series together even sometimes just to keep her happy, I go with her side despite being busy with other chores.

Recently, I have written poetry for my wife. (I AM NOT A POET 😊)

My wedding anniversary is in March so I wanted to express my love with something special.

But I didn’t wait for this day and shared my feelings with her. She loved it and wanted to get it printed.

Then I thought to share it again using my Canva design expertise. Canva is so beautiful and easy to use platform for any kind of business or occasion. You can design anything anywhere using their app and the final results would always amaze you.

I just used some elements to create this design. You can create anything similar to this, I am sharing the keywords for all these elements.

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐊𝐞𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧:

• Basic square with a Drop shadow (If you need any other shape, then just change the word square in the elements section)

• Shinny 3D Red Heart

• Red Shimmery Tape (Added drop shadow from photo section under edges)

• Crumpled paper Background

• Rose corner border

• Search tear paper photos from the photo section and use background removal options before using it in your design over the crumpled paper.

• Fonts - Dancing script & Belleza

If you love this design and my poetry as well 😊 then wish us happy married life. I will show your comments to my wife. She is such a kind and soft-hearted lady would be very happy to see your comments. 

See below the second version of my design where I just changed the rose with the real rose image (png).

How to split one image into different frames in Canva ?

To split one image into different frames in Canva, You always need to keep the same alignment of your image in each frame. I have recorded a video for your quick reference and understanding.

You need to understand one noticeable point here. If you will move the frames into different angles or tilt them, You always need to tilt your image as well before inserting it into frames. It is required to achieve a straight view of any image inside frames.

If you want to know how to create 3D look of this design then follow the below steps and watch the video for better understanding.

Step - 1- Remove background of your photo.

Step - 2- Lock all your photo frames.

Step - 3- Adjust this photo with removed background on top of your all frames and crop it as per your requirement or need to achieve the 3D look. 

Recently in one of my designs, I have used the rectangle frames with a little angle. In this case, I had to tilt the image as well before inserting it into frames. I have inserted the same image into each frame, double-click on the image and adjusted it with the same alignment in each frame.

I have added textures to this design for some different look. See below the second copy of this design with these texture effects. I am sharing the screenshots for these texture keywords. Use the same if you want to achieve the same results for your designs.
