FAQ: Are we allowed to use Canva Pro elements for KDP Publishing?
Answer: Yes, you are as long as you are not just taking one Canva element and putting it on your cover or page and calling it a day. As long as you are layering multiple elements, backgrounds and font/ words onto your cover and/or page and making the overall design uniquely yours, then are you absolutely allowed to use those elements for KDP publishing.

Its been 1 month since I saw your video and made 2 coloring books and uploaded them on amazon. I came back to this video to say my thanks since I got my first purchase. Your video is super helpful. Thank you so much. May God Bless You!!!

[beautyashesjh]

This had to be one of the best KDP tutorials I have watched! Very good in terms of detail and clarity. Your video makes tackling KDP seem doable. Thank you!

[divinabodtker]

Hi Ivy, your video is amazing. I just retired and was really bored doing nothing when your video came up on my FB account last week. After watching your step by step. I was able to create my own coloring book. It was already published at Amazon. I was able to make 4 books since last week, and working on my next 3 books. I used to teach multi media arts and this is really a nice tool for beginners like me to have a book published. Thank you so much.

[robinboateng]

Thank you! This was an outstanding step by step guide that explains everything from start to finish. Much appreciated!

[RosieWeldon]

Your videos are so helpful and descriptive. Going from KDP to canva with the measurements etc, explaining bleed, no other video does it like this. Thanks so much!

[heatherwass]

I am so happy I found your page! Your videos are super helpful. You explain everything so well. I love your step-by-step tutorials. THANK YOU!!

[imanimissouri]

I watched a video that said this can be done in 10 minutes and once I began the process it was clear it wasn't a 10-minute start to finish for a beginner. There were a number of things I was wondering about and you addressed it in this video. I appreciate your detailed instructions, pace and willingness to share.

I made sure to follow along practically as you were taking us through the steps required to successfully publish on KDP, all six of them, and having successfully completed them, I am now eager to see whether Amazon KDP will approve my Paperback. Thank you Ivy for sharing this with us.

[Techtalkdevices]

This is the tutorial that I need the most!! Thank you so much Ivy.

[Cricket-love]

Watched 1000s of videos on youtube but didn't find anything useful. Then, I came across your video. OMG, I am so glad I found you. Usually, for these things people have created courses, so that they can make money. I must applaud you of creating such a detailed video which actualy not only helped me but also others to launch their first book without any fear. I wish you all the best and may God give you everything you desire in this world!!! We need more people like you who really want to help others. Thank you so much Ivy

[robotkyle]

Thank-you for your outstanding guidance! I've been looking into starting this for a little while. Your tutorial is by far the most thorough that I've found, and makes me feel much more confident in getting started!

[AmandaSpencer-krhe]

Ivy, this step by step tutorial was helpful. I was able to create my coloring book along side you with very little complications. I only got stuck on two things and they were small things that I figured out quickly (Im using a different laptop than you). I am so excited to see my book published! Thank you very much for taking your time to teach others in depth on how to make this.
