When it comes to creating templates, I find the hardest part of getting started (and often the most time-consuming!) is putting together color palettes & font combinations that feel cohesive. 

It’s actually physically impossible for me to move on with a design in Canva until the fonts and colors *feel* just right 🙄 (IYKYK). 

And then finding design accessories that match the vibe? That’s a whole other time-consuming layer!

If you can relate (or would rather skip this part completely), I’ve put together a few mood boards, each with a color palette, Canva font combination (that you can see in action), and design element ideas that all work well together. 

Feel free to use them as a little inspiration shortcut for your next Bookstagram post!

I’d love to know too, which aesthetic is your favorite… mood board 1, 2, or 3?

Happy creating!

3!! I have been finding color palettes on Pinterest that I love and then saving those on my brand center on Canva with my favorite fonts so I’m using the same stuff all the time - but it still looks hodge podge on my feed 🫠

I totally relate to this! If I could get one already put together and just pick things it makes it so much easier and enjoyable to do.
