Words have power. ✨ Positive affirmations are a wonderful way to shift your mindset, remind yourself of your worth, and stay encouraged throughout the day. And what better way to keep those affirmations close than by creating your very own affirmation cards?
The best part is—you don’t need expensive design software or hours of experience. With Canva, you can design affirmation cards that are beautiful, personal, and ready to print or use digitally. Let’s dive into how you can make your own set of affirmation cards today!
Why Affirmation Cards?
Affirmation cards can help you:
Stay motivated during stressful days.
Build confidence with daily reminders of your strengths.
Focus on positivity by starting or ending your day with uplifting words.
Encourage others by gifting a set of cards to friends or loved ones.
How to Design Affirmation Cards in Canva
1. Choose Your Card Size
Decide whether you’d like business-card sized designs (easy to carry in a wallet), larger square cards (perfect for a desk), or digital cards for your phone or tablet. Canva lets you set custom dimensions to fit your style.
2. Pick a Theme
Do you want your cards to feel calming and minimal, bold and vibrant, or faith-based with Scripture verses? Canva’s templates make it easy to choose a starting point and customize it.
👉 For extra creativity, explore Creative Fabrica for fonts, graphics, and design elements that make your affirmation cards uniquely yours.
3. Add Your Affirmations
Write out a list of affirmations that speak to you. Examples:
“I am capable of achieving my goals.”
“I choose peace and joy today.”
“I am loved and valued.”
For faith-based cards, you could include verses like:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13
“The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” – Psalm 23:1
4. Design with Style
Use Canva’s fonts, background colors, and illustrations to make your cards feel inspiring. Add borders, textures, or icons that match your theme. Stick to 2–3 colors for a clean, cohesive look.
5. Print or Go Digital
When your cards are ready, save them as a PDF to print and cut at home—or export them as PNGs or JPGs to use digitally on your phone, tablet, or planner apps.
