Thank you! I always come back to your video when I forgot the process :DD
Thank you so much for this! I'm new to the Cricut world (usually using my ScanNCut) and was wanting to create stickers with the white outline. I've been looking at TH-cam for a number of weeks and posting in FB groups to see how we get a white outline using an existing PNG and you've nailed it for me. Thank you, I really appreciate your tutorial and the effort you have gone to to explain it all.
Glad it helped. Thanks for stopping by.
OMG! Thank you! I watched so many different videos and I finally was able to outline my image! Thank you for your help. You just changed the game for me!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
The most useful video on the whole TH-cam!

I had been looking for this for so long. Thanks a lot!
This is a really cool tutorial. I've been doing this the long and very frustrating way lately now I don't have to. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your thorough and thoughtful tutorial! It helped solved the main issue I was having, which was jagged edges. You're the best!
Great to hear!
Your video is very very helpful. I am so glad I came to your channel. Please keep up the good work. Thanks
Thank you so much .. now i have a clear idea of how to draw out line .. very well explained ..
I had a different way of stroking the image to create a white background but I prefer your masking method, ty :-)
Good to know! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

Wow, your videos are SO informative and clear. I've recently decided to make stickers and your chanel is by far best. Thank you 👍
Thank you Isabella
Thank you!!! It is so easy to create stickers now in photoshop with your ideas :)
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing i just did it, but I had some trouble doing the same with letters. The design I made had letters too. I managed to get the design really good with your help but the letter same out not so good so I kinda had to saved it and make another one, tbh I don't exactly know how but I managed to do it but it was like the opacity was light, as in glowing. It didn't look that bad but I just left it as it was with the glowing letters. I'm looking forward to look on your channel. I'm a new subscriber, "salads from Puerto Rico"

Thank you Mercedes!
Wonderful, thank you very much.
I didn't have the option LAYER STYLE not sure if the page was updated is there any way you can help me out with the new version??
In need of an update: the pixlr UI is pretty different now.
In the new system, make sure that you select Pixlr E (Not Pixlr X) and once you've added the image to the editor click Filter in the menu along the top. Outer Glow appears there.
Great video! easy to understand (:
It’s a good thing my accent didn’t get in the way, lol.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
THANK YOU A MILLION!!!
Awesome ! thanks it really helps
Works for some images. But making the image smaller doesnt work anymore.
Maybe you could try this new tutorial. th-cam.com/video/FsZcrpGjmSQ/w-d-xo.html
This one uses the new version of Pixlr E
Thank you so much!! You are a great teacher.
Awww. Thanks so much Bane!
hello I love u vid. What software did you use?
I don’t know if my Mac is more upgraded but it won’t create the white layer behind my image how do I fix it ? TIA
this os helpfull
How about the white background images?
very useful. made very simple, Thank you
🤗
thanks for the informative video with the pixlr software how do you turn the blue glow outline to white ?? thanks
Hi May Ellen. I’m not sure I know what you mean by blue glow outline. Can you send me an example to omar@awesomesvgs.com?
aMAZING! THANK YOU! CAN YOU SHOW HOW TO MAKE A WATERMARK ON TOP OF MY STICKERS?? OR DRAWINGS?
Sure. I’ll try to whip something up next week
Thank you! I just discovered your channel, I am so happy about it! you're doing an amazing job!!
I wish you would show us more about smoothing the white lines in the free software.. I was following along and then you just saved image and my "glow" outline was very rough and had all the uneven lines the boy image you showed in Photoshop segment (that you fixed)
That usually happens when the edges of your image are not smooth. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this, is to manually draw the outline, because Pixlr doesn’t have the smooth selection feature that photoshop has. 😔
hi there! i am a newbie to both Cricut Maker AND im trying to learn to use some of PS without bugging my daughter every step of the way. THIS is exactly what i needed BUT you run around the software without telling/Showing where you are or how you got there....i opened a png image but it doesnt show the background like yours in the beginning. How did you get there? Is this video assuming one has some knowledge of PS? i have ZERO but im trying to make stickers on my Cricut and need the white outline on some of them. In particular around some text. thanks so much! i am so excited to find your video...i fear i may have to ask my daughter to decipher it for me! LOL hope that didnt sound mean. i dont mean it to be! :D 💜
Hello!
On this video, I started out with a transparent background image I created.
Some images you download or buy on the web may not have a transparent background and when you open them in photoshop, there won’t be a checkered pattern showing behind your image meaning there are some transparent areas.
Make sure you get transparent background images, these are usually under a .PNG file format. I hope that helps.
I wish I know to draw that
Know of anything on the iphone app store?
You kinda sound like Solar Sands.
Just saying-
Also this helped me lots when I'm planning on making my personal Stickers!!! Thank you so much
🤣 I’ll look for that Solar Sands guy, hoping that’s a compliment, LOL!
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment
Pixlr doesn’t look like this for me. I’m not sure what I did wrong?
This was perfect. Thank you SO much.
New subscriber!
Very helpful ! I tried second one and I didn’t get the white outline, when I printed out the pictures and cut them in Cricut , I could still see the blue outline on some of the pictures. There was no white border. Did I do something wrong?
I'm sorry I don't quite understand what you mean by a blue outline, could you provide more info? if you want you can send me the pictures you are trying to use to my email address and see if I can help
Yeah the same happen to me
Ok. I think I understand what you mean. I used a blue color for the glow just so it was easier to see on the video. You must change the color of the glow to white.
Thank you friend👍👍😄
thank you for the tutorial!!
🤗
Hi! What's the difference between the way you're showing us and by just adding a white stroke to the background? Thanks you Lupe
Some people like me, may have problems drawing around and image using a mouse or a track pad. This method automatically detects the edge of your image thus avoiding the jitter or rough edges you get by doing it manually. If you feel confident drawing it and you do it fast, go ahead! For intricate shapes, though, you might want to automate it.
omg thank you so much
i tried to follow you on PIXL (which i have never used before) but i cannot find edit styles under the layers. Do you know where to find this out i this is a newer version online now
Hi, is it possible to add transparent cutting line instead of white? How? Thx
Nuray Metin the only way I can think of is by creating a vector SVG outline. You see, for design space or any other cutting machine software to recognize a shape, that image perimeter has to be visible and as sharp as possible. I thought maybe you could low the opacity or the outline and being white, you could change the blending mode to multiply to make it disappear, but design space wouldn’t recognize it. In the end white is “transparent” when you print in white paper, so I’m curious to why you would want to create a transparent cutting line. Maybe if you give me more details I’d be able to help. 🤗
Awesome SVGs thank you for your brief explanation. I have tried to decrease the opacity of the white line, but it didn’t work because cricut didn’t see the cutting line. So, it tried to cut the drawing without putting any extra space. I wanted a transparent space especially for my lettering stickers. I found a basic solution for my problem and I want to share with you. The solution is clear matte sticker paper. Even if I add white cutting line on procreate,because the printer doesn’t color white, the xtra space looks like transparent. 👌😊
@@nuraymetin4155 I have the same question. See I am using clear sticker paper and wanted that clear background look, but I will get the clear matte paper and try! What do you mean your printer does not print white - Do I still add a white border like the video and lower the opacity?
big benji deni Printers don’t use white ink, they just leave the white areas in the picture you want to print as blank. Because the paper is white, you don’t realize that the whiteness is coming from the ink or the color of the paper which is white. So, if you use clear(transparent) sticker paper, the white outline will look like transparent. (Because your printer doesn’t release white ink.) I hope I can explain it clearly🙈☺️
Greta video! I'm on Pixlr.com now, following along with the video, but it seems that they upgraded the site. I don't see the layer style box. Where can I find it now?
Never mind...I clicked the wrong editor.
this is so maddening, I can't do it!
booohh ooo when I do select and mask nothing happens!!
Thanks for this helpful tutorial. Question please so when I have the white outline do I just upload it in design space and it will automatically print the image and cut through the white outline?
Yup. Be sure to save the image as a PNG image. And it should cut around the white outline.
Help...I am on photoshop but when I fill the background the image disappears with it as well. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe you are filling the wrong layer with white. Make sure you create a new layer underneath the image layer.
Having the same problem and I followed every single step.
Marian Okogwu my daughter helped me to figure it out. I think the problem was because I’m using the newer photoshop cc version. Also it is important to drag the second layer below the first layer. Follow his instructions up until you get to masking.
1. Press select> edit in quick mask mode. Go back to select > load selection > ok.
2. Press alt>cmd>R.
3. Refine edge box will appear, clickon the view button and select overlay V > set the radius to 0 or you can select the smart radius.
Make smooth 100%, feather 0%, contrast 100%, You can make the edges even more smoother but playing with shift edge toggle but it can be left at 0. Then press OK.
4. Then select new layer mask and you should get a duplicate mask and it will have the background of your sticker which you can now edit.
5. Click the eye icon on the second layer (it should now have a grid background). Now you can save your sticker for printing. I do mine in my Cricut so I save it as a png doc.
I hope it makes sense. Good luck 😉
How can you duplicate them, if they have a mask?
also, when you use the brush tool how do you prevent it from erasing the image when drawing the white? you went over the image and it did not erase the image
kelly kagoshima you make a new layer and place it under the drawing. Then you can draw on there, and the “excess” paint goes under you original work
Hi there, thx u for this great video. I’m new to all this and was wondering How can we get photoshop? Do we have to purchase it somewhere or is it free?
Photoshop used to be a very expensive piece of software. Now a days you can get it at Adobe.com for a monthly fee
Oh perfect thx u so much! 😁🙏🏼
Very informative, but the music is driving me bonkers. I cannot learn and/or study with background music. Too distracting!!
your audio cuts out
Hi Justin. Sorry about it. The video had a royalty free audio that was acquired by a different company and it is not free tibiae anymore. The only way to keep the video up was to silence the bits where the music was audible. Please refer to this video th-cam.com/video/FsZcrpGjmSQ/w-d-xo.html that is an updated version
I'm kinda new at this, how do you make a PNG transparent. I uploaded from google images, saved it as a JPEG on my desktop, opened Photoshop, opened the JPEG file and saved it as a PNG, went to Design Space and uploaded the image as a PNG and made the background transparent. When I went back to Photoshop and opened the saved PNG image, the background is white...Can someone help me with this, I didn't see in the video where you show how you got that checkered background in Photoshop.
The file I use in the tutorial is an already transparent background image. Design space does not allow to store files on your computer, so anything you upload is for use in the cloud only. If you uploaded a file to design space, removed the background and save it, it remains transparent only in design space. Your original file is still a flat image. What you would wanna do is remove the background of the image IN photoshop. That way you can save it to your hard drive and it’ll remain as a transparent background image.
@@AwesomeSVGs Yes, I tried and can't figure out how to do it. I have PS CS5, and I watched a couple of YT videos and they wanted me to use a Magic Wand, and I couldn't find on in CS5.
@@barbra429 press W on your keyboard, that's the shortcut for the wand
It is in CS5. If you can't find the tool bar, go to window - tools and the tool bar will open
What Photoshop you used?
I use Photoshop CC, the video was recorded last year, so it’s CC 2018.
What’s wrong with the sound?
Can you use this idea with an iPad?
I’ll try it tonight and see how it goes.
I know you are busy have you been able to put a white out line on an image with an iPad?
Everyone don't have or know who to use photo shop so now what?
