Hey, creative friend!

There’s something magical about a new month — fresh energy, new goals, and a blank canvas ready to be filled with color and creativity. This June, I poured all that sunny, spirited energy into my newest collection — and today, I’m inviting you behind the scenes to see how it all came together in Canva! ☀️🎨

Whether you’re a fellow designer, a scrapbook enthusiast, or just someone who loves digital art, I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful this season. Let’s dive in!

✨ The Inspiration Behind My June Collection

This collection was all about capturing the heart of early summer — that feeling of longer days, golden sunshine, fresh blooms, and slow, happy moments.

Here’s what sparked the theme:

Sun-drenched florals 🌼
Lemonade stands & garden parties 🍋
Soft vintage textures
Touches of whimsy and warmth

I wanted the papers, embellishments, and templates to feel like a stroll through a wildflower field mixed with the charm of a handmade scrapbook.

🎨 The Design Process in Canva

Step 1: Color Palette & Mood BoardI started by creating a mood board right in Canva. I uploaded inspirational photos, picked a dreamy summer palette (think butter yellow, sky blue, blush pink, and leafy green), and added fonts that matched the vibe — playful, light, and handwritten.

Step 2: Digital Paper DesignUsing Canva’s seamless pattern tools and my favorite custom elements, I created layered textures that feel like hand-painted pages. Some feature florals, some vintage patterns, and others include subtle grids and linen textures.

Step 3: Embellishments & ClipartNext, I designed matching embellishments — think tags, journaling cards, stickers, washi strips, and more. Canva’s drag-and-drop features made layering elements and creating themed sets so smooth.

Step 4: Template LayoutsFinally, I built a few Canva templates for Instagram, stories, and

Pinterest posts — perfect for content creators or shop owners who want to keep things seasonal and stylish with minimal effort.

All of these pieces were designed to work beautifully together — whether you're crafting, posting, or designing your next big idea.
