This is my favorite part about using Canva for this. The template already has the correct dimensions, which saves me a lot of time I'd spend Googling and guessing.

Select the template with 1584 x 396 dimensions.

A new tab will open with a blank canvas.

It's easier to create when you have inspiration. I always start by adding a few templates to my canvas to inspire me.

Don't forget to click 'Add page' before you select another template. This will ensure that your template is added to a new page (instead of replacing your currently selected page)

Add a few templates!

And on and on and on until you're happy with it!
