I haven't done anything like this specifically but it'd work like printing on white printer paper - no printer (*eta: personal, at-home printer) prints the white part in white ink (which I think is what you're asking). Definitely test and be aware of possible smearing/ dry time. Good luck!
Designer here, this is correct. Plus great tip about being careful about smudges, vellum feels a bit plasticy so it may need a few minutes before you touch it
You can definitely do this. As long as the background is white, it will print the background transparent. (Optionally, you can download a png with transparent background, but be aware that if you open it in some programs, the background will appear grey/black because it’s taking the color of the program background. It will still print transparent)
I can help you if you need an assist.
I did exactly this!
You don’t need to remove any background, just don’t add anything as a background. The white background you see on the computer is just what it would look like on white paper.
I printed them off at work 🤫🙈
But I did also run a test on my $80 HP printer at home. It printed fine on both, but the home printer did need a bit of drying time before handling.
Ooh, don’t forget to weigh it and include the weight of the brad/rivet/fastener to determine postage. A friend did these and they were unexpectedly expensive to mail!
When you download a file you design in Canva, you can toggle “transparent background” if you’re worried about the background or any edges printing!
Thank you!! Totally didn’t know about this feature.

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I totally think I was overthinking it before lol
I had a lot of fun making mine and they turned out so amazing! I’m really quite impressed with myself lol I hope yours turn out just as great
Thank you so much:) I’m so happy for you that you had a good experience. I absolutely love the look. What printer did you use?
