week remember this changes every single week so to maximize this hack for your business I would recommend coming back every single week and seeing what's available if you think you might use it one day even if you don't see a use for it in this moment go ahead and download it and save it in folders on your computer I recommend saving them to a Dropbox folder you can label the different folders font template stock photos and so perhaps when the need does arise you may be able to meet that need with something you got for free rather than paying but if you find yourself in a pinch where you need some photos or graphics or templates hop back over to creative market and purchase what you need then you can download those assets from creative market and use them wherever you'd like again in this example I'm going to show you how to use it in canva but you can use these elements in any design program that you have so now let's go ahead and hop on over to canva one of my favorite things to do is to step up my canva invitations with assets downloaded from creative market if you would like to do this in your business then go to invitation and click on portrait and that will reveal all the templates you see here then we're going to click on blank one thing to remember is the wedding invitation category is always going to be the fanciest one of the bunch and so I like to start there and click on see all if you continue to scroll you start to see things like gold foil assets and flowers and so I'm going to keep scrolling until I find one that I think is a really good fit for what I'm trying to invite people to in this example I am trying to invite people to my tea party and so I want something that is fairly streamlined and simple but I want to step it up by adding in what I just got on creative market so I really like this one here but what I don't like about the design are these flowers so I'm going to click and delete those and then what I want to do is to highlight everything that is here and I want to lock it down that way when I start to add in assets from creative market I don't move around the design then I'm going to click on uploads and I've already uploaded some assets but if you want to upload some you can click on upload an image you would open the folder that creative market provided you and then drag in whatever you've wanted to use now this particular one I bought for $12 and it's got backgrounds it's got some different swatches and it's got some elements all cut out so because I want to invite people to a tea party I want to customize the invitation with tea party elements and so what I'm going to do now is drag in my teapot and position that forward and then I'm going to drag in these flowers here and resize them over the teapot now what you can also do is you can add elements to the top there are a few more to choose from so if I wanted to put one more bunch of flowers I like this one as well now you may run into this where the assets aren't really really big one of the things that you'll find on creative market is these designs are pretty high-res so you can reduce the size and I'll actually show you guys how to do that so I use this free program called photo scape all the time if I need to do quick edits on photos and if I click on editor and I go to that watercolor Tea Party folder it's going to open up everything that was available in that folder and you can see by the speed at which it's uploading these are really really big files so all you need to do is you need to upload what you need to photoscape and we'll go ahead and let everything load in and then you're going to simply resize it by clicking on the button down here so you can see the reason why this particular image that not upload to canva was because it was over the limit which is 30 megabytes so what we're going to do is just click on resize and we're going to drag this down and you can see how the size is changing here I'm just gonna put it at 50% but you could do whatever you whatever size you wanted honestly you could you could slide it down to 75% and still meet the size requirements and then all you need to do is hit save and we're gonna save as instead so it doesn't overwrite the file and we're gonna say small flower and then we'll save it and now you can see the size of that file is only 8 megabytes so if you go back to canva and we're going to go back to our design now we can upload that image so we'll go back to upload an image we're going to click on desktop and type in small flower and then open and as you can see now we're not getting that error message because it's not too big so what I like about using these flowers is they're also reflected in this teacup down here which I think it's perfect so we'll go ahead and click on the flowers and we may even want to rotate them which we can do here and we'll bring those in and just add them to the top and so you can kind of play around with how you want the flowers to be laid out I kind of like that because it looks like they're going into the Gulf oil and so now that you've locked these down all you need to do is unlock it so that you can move it and make adjustments so I like to lock down my assets before I bring in the stuff from creative market otherwise I feel like everything is all over the place and then you can just click and drag to your heart's content to make sure you have things where you want it after that you can customize the font and then you can go ahead and save it so in this case I was not able to find a design within canva that really fit my needs but by going to creative market I was able to bring in some elements that still allowed me to design my own invitation but it took it to the next level so now that you guys
