Accessing Your Canva Templates

Before you begin editing your branding kit, it may be helpful to understand how these templates work and why Canva is used to deliver them.

How Branding Was Traditionally Delivered #

In the past, most branding and design work required specialized software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign. These programs are powerful but can also be expensive and difficult for beginners to learn.

If you purchased a logo or design from a designer, you would typically receive finished image files. If you ever needed a change—such as updating your business name or adjusting colors—you would usually need to return to the designer to request edits.

For many small business owners, this made it difficult to manage their branding independently.

How Canva Makes Editing Accessible #

Canva changed this process by providing a simple online design platform that allows users to edit templates directly in their web browser.

Instead of requiring advanced software, Canva allows you to customize your designs with a few simple tools.

With Canva templates, you can easily:

• edit your business name
• change brand colors
• adjust text and layouts
• export your finished graphics

This makes it possible for many business owners to manage their own branding without needing professional design software.

Your Marlow Moon and Marlow Mallow branding kits are designed to work with Canva so that you can customize your designs in a simple and beginner-friendly way.

Prefer Not to Edit the Templates Yourself? #

While Canva makes editing much more accessible, it is completely understandable if you would prefer not to handle the editing yourself.

If you would rather have your designs customized for you, we offer editing services and upgrade options that allow us to complete the edits on your behalf.

These services can help if you would like:

• your business name added to the logos
• brand colors applied for you
• icons or design elements adjusted
• your branding prepared and ready to use

You can learn more about these options in the Editing Services & Upgrades section of the help center.

If you would like to try editing the templates yourself, the next steps will show you how to access your Canva designs.

After purchasing your branding kit, your download will include a PDF guide.

This guide acts as the main hub for your files and instructions.

Inside the PDF you will find:

• links to your Canva templates
• helpful notes about your purchase
• your brand color HEX codes
• additional resources

Begin by opening this PDF guide from your Etsy download.

Inside the guide you will see links that provide access to your Canva templates.

Each link will open a specific design included in your branding kit.

For example, you may see links for:

• your logo templates
• Etsy banner templates
• other branding graphics included in your package

When you click one of these links, it will open Canva in your web browser.

If you are not already logged into Canva, you will be prompted to sign in.

You can log in using:

• your email address
• Google
• Facebook
• Apple

If you do not already have a Canva account, you can create one for free.

A free Canva account is all that is required to edit your branding kit.

Once you are logged in, Canva will open the template so you can begin customizing the design.
