🎨 Create a Digital Sticker Pack in Canva (For Etsy or Notion)

Digital stickers are everywhere—from digital planners and journals to Notion dashboards and aesthetic mood boards. The best part? You can easily create your own in Canva and sell them on Etsy, Gumroad, or directly to your audience.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through exactly how to make a high-quality digital sticker pack using Canva—whether you’re designing for Notion users, digital planning lovers, or aesthetic-addicted students.

🎯 What You’ll Need:

• A Canva Pro account (for transparent backgrounds + folders)

• A theme for your pack (e.g. cozy fall, pastel productivity, retro icons)

• Clear idea of your sticker format (PNG files, pre-cropped, 300 dpi)

🧰 Step-by-Step: How to Create Your Sticker Pack in Canva

Step 1: Choose Your Canvas Size

• Start with a 1000x1000px or 500x500px canvas (ideal for square/rounded stickers).

• You can also use a larger sheet (e.g. 8.5x11") if you're exporting the entire sticker sheet as one file.

Step 2: Design Your Stickers

• Use Canva Elements, icons, or upload your own illustrations.

• Add outlines or shadows for a “cut-out” effect.

• Use a cohesive style (pastel, kawaii, minimalist, retro, etc.)

• Pro Tip: Use frame and shape masks to create sticker-like borders.

Step 3: Export with Transparent Background

• Select each individual design and export as PNG with a transparent background.

• Keep resolution high (300 dpi if printable, 96–150 dpi for digital-only).

📦 Bonus: Bundle It Up!

Decide how you'll deliver your stickers:

• For Notion users: Package as individual PNGs + usage instructions.

• For digital planners (Goodnotes, etc.): Include a sticker sheet + individual PNGs.

• For printable stickers: Offer them pre-arranged on a sheet, ready for cutting.

Add a cute cover image for your listing, and don’t forget your licensing note if you're using Canva elements!

💡 Ideas for Sticker Packs That Sell:

• Affirmation or mood stickers

• Productivity symbols

• Plant + nature aesthetic

• Cottagecore quotes

• Notion dashboard icons

• Boho or minimalist lifestyle sets

• Color-themed: neutrals, jewel tones, pastels

💰 Where to Sell Your Stickers

• Etsy – keyword-rich listings get you organic traffic

• Gumroad or Payhip – great for freebies or direct sales

• Your own Shopify store or Linktree site

• Bonus: Use Canva’s Smartmockups to display them in use!

✅ Final Thoughts

Digital stickers are fun, fast to make, and super sellable. With Canva and a little creativity, you can design beautiful packs for planners, Notion users, or even hybrid printable sets. Whether you’re selling for side income or gifting a freebie to grow your list—this is a smart niche to tap into.
