Promoting Folksy

OK, I know it’s not Friday, but I can’t resist that Santa-hatted Folksy logo any longer (also I need the practice with Canva - I am determined to crack it in the end!) so I made a quick festive sharing board. Please do share, it all helps to get the Folksy name and identity out there and reduce the number of people who STILL say they’ve never heard of it!


Lovely festive listings from @RosGoesDotty @WhimsicalBells @happycowcardsandcrafts @SewmadebyJess and @eliandthings

Thank you for sharing my little christmas trees.

Cheers Lou

I have shared this on my facebook page @seaglassseaham. The photo looks good but I don’t think the link is working - practice makes perfect (for me I mean, still don’t enjoy social media but I am trying :smile:)

Thank you! Do you mean the folksy.com on the image? That wasn’t intended to be a live link although making it live is a good thought, I’ll have a look and see whether that’s possible in Canva…

Ok, well I’m sure my few followers will get the message :laughing:

OK, it seems you can add a live link in Canva but only to a pdf. And anyway the Canva help page says that social media platforms don’t support live links whether the image is a pdf or a jpg or whatever, so there would be no point my doing it in this particular case. But I’ll try to remember to add a folksy.com link in the caption from now on, so thank you for the suggestion!

I’ve tried to add live links before like you and found the same. I’ve now got into the habit of putting the link in a comment :grinning:

Oops, it’s Friday again! Managed to create a board in under 15 mins today so I’m getting quicker at Canva - although tracking down all the links is always a faff and I’m not sure I’ve remembered to favourite all the shops as I go along, but anyway… it’s all in the details this week…

Ahead of myself again this week and getting quicker at this Canva stuff (although I am still blundering about pushing buttons at random a lot of the time!) - anyway here is a Folksy Friday selection of things that made me smile today from @ofmetalandrainbows @willowgrovedesigns @mcfloofmakes @SallyandtheFreckles @Fallon1986 @sashastowe @ShirleyRainbow @jollydee and now I am off to make Craftmas Market collages so I don’t have time to figure out why once again so many of these tags didn’t work!
Enjoy :slight_smile:

The tags only work if the seller has joined the forum. If they’ve never posted here before, their tag won’t be clickable as an account hasn’t been set up for them.
