How to use it
- Illustrator, InDesign or Affinity: make a document at 5 × 7 in with 0.125 in of bleed on every side (or one page at 5.25 × 7.25 in). Place the PDF on a top layer, lock it, and design underneath. The PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at any zoom.
- Canva: make a design at the finished size and turn on Show print bleed (File, then Rulers and guides). Upload the SVG, stretch it to the edges of the bleed and design under it. Delete it before you download a PDF Print file. Our guide to a print-ready PDF from Canva covers the export.
- Before you export: hide or delete the guide layer, so the pink bleed and the lines don’t print. Export a PDF with bleed and, if your printer asks, crop marks.
