Use CANVA to Personalise Balloons with Silhouette Cameo
Like many of you, I use a Silhouette Cameo to personalise my balloons. However, I often find it challenging to come up with creative designs using the Cameo software, so, I decided to use CANVA instead. I find it more user-friendly, and I already use it for other design projects, so why not for my balloons too!
I have made a quick Step-by-Step video to show you how simple this is to do. It was a bit of a life changer for me, as it makes creative personalisation so much quicker and easier!
Here are a few extra bits of information that may not be clear from the video.
1. I use the Instagram Square tile for my designs. By using a square, you can contain your design within a printable space.
2. I usually resize my design once I have added it to my Cameo software to approximately an 8" square, as I've found that this is perfect size for an 18" foil balloon.
3. I used two different fonts for my design: "Porcelain" for the script and "Anton" for the number.
4. The font size is approximately 180.
5. I cut out additional daisies in various sizes in white to add to my design.
6. Keep your design templates in a quick access folder in CANVA so that you can easily create new versions by simply changing the name and age!
7. I always add my vinyl when the balloon is flat and not inflated! I find it so much easier with great results every time!
