EDITION 24 / 2025
Well hi there Reader! 😊
As I teased last week, I'm genuinely excited that next Thursday I'll be launching my first ever Black Friday offer - and it's a little different from the usual “OMG YOU NEED THIS NOW!!” noise that's out there. 😉
So…here’s the tea:
As I mentioned, I'm working behind the scenes on something pretty exciting: a complete revamp of CanvaOS. We're talking new content, latest tools, updated workflows, fresh demonstrations & new templates - basically CanvaOS Version 3.0. And it's going to be brilliant.
But here's the thing - it's a LOT of work, and it won't be ready until January 2026. And as I announced back in May, when the improved course does launch the price will be increasing to £225. (I gotta keep the kitties in kibble! 🐈⬛🐈⬛) 😜
BUT... next Thursday, I'm opening enrollment at 50% off the current price of £175 - for 4 days only. And before you think "oh yay, just another discount email 😒" - let me explain why I believe this one's actually worth your attention.
Here’s the deal I’m excited to offer:
If you join CanvaOS during this Black Friday offer - at 50% off - you get:
✨ Immediate access to the current course - so you can start building your Canva system and creating better content right away
✨Automatic enrollment to the fully revamped CanvaOS 3.0 when it launches in January - at no🫰🏼extra🫰🏼cost🫰🏼.
Basically, you pay half price now, start learning today, ANDget the shiny new version in the new year. For free. 🎉😮
The honest bit: Because of all the recent updates, videos in the current course reflect an older version of the Canva interface (because Canva just looooves keeping us on our toes, right?) 🤣. The core principles and workflows are always solid and valuable - but if you’re the type who gets annoyed by minor interface differences or m ay find it difficult, I wanted you to know this upfront.
That said, you’ll still learn how to organize your Canva workspace like a pro, build a template library, and create on-brand content WITHOUT feeling overwhelmed. And come January, you’ll ALSO get the fresh, shiny, updated CanvaOS 3.0 to take your skills to the next level for 2026.
I’ll be sending all the details on exactly how to grab your spot when the sale goes live next week - including a sneaky discount code for 50% off all of my current Canva template packs! 🎉
So consider this your friendly heads-up. 😊 If you have ever wanted to join CanvaOS, but (like a lot of us) need to watch the pennies - this is genuinely the best time to sign up! (And if you're like me and can't remember why you walked into a room sometimes 🤔 - just click the relevant button below to add a reminder to your calendar so you don't miss out! 😉)
If you have any questions just hit reply, I'm here for ya.
Meaningful Creations
I've got someone really special to share with you this week - a South African sculptor (now in New Zealand) whose work I genuinely find so powerful. Simon Max Bannister creates bronze and steel sculptures that somehow capture both the strength and fragility of nature in the most incredible way.
His process is also pretty amazing: for his bronze sculptures, Simon collects wood splinters from sawmills - fragments that look like feathers, bone, and sinew. He assembles them into birds, nests, and wings, then uses a lost cast technique where the wooden forms are incinerated to create the mould for the final bronze piece. It's a beautiful metaphor really - the original is destroyed to create something permanent, often immortalizing species that may not be around for much longer. And it's all natural materials.
What really gets me about Simon's work is that it's not just beautiful - it carries weight. Each sculpture is both a a tribute to the power of nature and a reminder of how fragile it all is.
That's all for today folks - have a fabulous rest of your week. 🖤
If you don't want to hear about the Black Friday offer at all - JUST CLICK HERE and I'll be back in your inbox with my regular newsletter once the offer expires.
TLDR: Black Friday sale opens Nov 27 at 5.45pm GMT - 50% off current price of CanvaOS plus access to the fully updated version when it goes live in Jan 2026.
PS: If you are ALREADY a member of CanvaOS you don't need to do ANYTHING - you automatically get access to the updated course when it goes live in Jan 2026.🖤
