This really helped alot. Trying to get myself together to open an Etsy sticker shop. I feel like Im in school again! Researching like cray cray! Also LOVE Katnip & She Meets City!!!!!!
wishing all the best to you and your Etsy shop!
This is a very informative video and your hard work is appreciated. I just strongly dislike that this is how things have to be done. I really wish Cricut software would adapt to our needs and make things easier instead of harder for us. We shouldn't have to take this many steps to do one simple thing, am I the only one who feels this way? The machine cuts so beautifully but the software is honestly trash. They are only JUST now letting us print offline (even though it's still in beta). Sorry to rant in your comments it's just very frustrating to have to search and search like this for solutions. Will be trying out this method soon.
this is honestly one of the reasons I ended up choosing a silhouette over the cricut - before deciding on either machine, I tested out the cricut design space vs silhouette studio and just found that the cricut program was so much more limiting .. most of what she does in photoshop here can be done in silhouette studio
but i guess cricut has it's advantages for those who want something super user friendly and more intuitive, and it seems like there are more resources available for cricut in general
i agree with you - i prefer silhouette design space
Thank you so much. I subscribed! I am a 50 year old artist who had a career in tech and the cricut still baffles me. This helped clear things up. 😀
is the method of duplicating your background layer 4-5 so that it basically does a kiss cut 4-5 times (around each layer) and therefore cuts deep enough to cut through the paper?
This is the best tutorial on how to create sticker sheets using Photoshop and Cricut that I have found. THANK YOU! It's been so frustrating :)
I agree! Same
This is genuinely so helpful you don’t understand. You made this sooooo simple and you explained really well thank you🤩🥳🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
yay! glad it helped ❤️
This is so helpful, I've seen a few videos on this but this is one of the best for detail! Your designs are beautiful ❤️
super helpful! I was worried I needed to get "the other machine." Thank you!
Your videos are super helpful and your stickers are adorable! Keep up the great content 😀
thank you! ❤️
I used yours and Katnipp's method for the backing. The first time, it only cut the shape of the backing. The second time, it cut the colored band out at the top along with all the stickers. What am I doing wrong?!
I'm having the same problem.I have the layers attached in the design space, but it cuts the backing outline once and then says it's complete. Have you found a solution?
Omg you guys, I have the same problem too! Tried Katnipp’s, She Meets The City’s and Susan’s, but STILL only cute the backing. Help. I have a booth to prepare for next weekend! 😭
If anyone has found the solution to this problem, please comment. I can't get my cricut to cut the stickers, only the backing outline. please save me!! I have found the only way i can do it is if i print everything then go back and change the sticker layer to just cut. If there is an easier way i would love to know.
Having the same issue as those here. Followed this tutorial to a T but my Explore Air 2 will only make the cuts for the 5 backing layers.
Thanks . It was really helpful
Really helped me so much! I came to learn one thing and learned way more that will help me make my stickers
This was extremely detailed and helpful - thank you SO much for sharing your knowlege!
I just impulsively bought a cricut joy 😳
I hope all goes well and I can make stickers
wow even though I use my Cricut for a while now, there where a few new and really helpful things for me to learn as well! hope my workflow will get a bit better now :)
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Hi, help!
I followed these steps, except I used a different program than photoshop
And when I attached, it acted as though I welded, and the only thing that cut was the whole backing. But none of the stickers got cut out
I have been seeing lots of videos, none of them were as explicit, detailed and well explain as yours. I intent to re-open my Etsy Shop again selling Stickers with my artwork.
I will try to put all the knowledge that you have shared with us, and hopefully I will get my FIRST ever Sticker Sheet using my own illustrations.
Thanks a million for your time.
Sending you Hugs of Light.
The shilloute software is better and the cutting machine so think about it cause i have a. Shilloute portait 2 its really good i have made over 100 stickers and sticker sheets
This was so amazing! Thank you. My first set of stickers came out perfect because of this tutorial. I can't thank you enough for putting this out.
I have a problem with my sticker sheets when I attach them, they somehow become something like weld as you talked about and would only cut the backing once like a kiss cut, not cutting the insides of the sticker sheet. I use the app on my iPad and it’s been a mess. I’m unsure if this is just because I use the app or I’m doing the process wrong. My laptop is weird enough that I can’t do things as easily because my design space still has problems. For now I just have simple sticker sheets. I don’t mind it but I’d rather have backings such as yours or even colored for more detailed sticker sheets :1
I’ve wasted too much sticker paper and just supplies in general to experiment with the process but to still no avail to my goal, I’m a mess 😂
LilacOwlTea I used to have this exact same problem!! What I ended up doing was getting the free photoshop trial and making the backing card on there. For some reason when I made the backing card on a different program it did the same thing, only cutting around. I wish I had a more helpful answer but I hope this helps at least a bit!
Elle 1807 I’ll test photoshop/illustrator eventually so your response was helpful. Thank you!
No problem! Also I was experimenting and I found that if I used the desktop cricut design space it worked more often than the mobile app. :)
Elle 1807 I currently don’t have the budget for a laptop that’s able to work as easily but I’ll also keep that in mind. Thank you!
LilacOwlTea did you find a solution? I’m having the same problem :(
Does anyone know if the photoshop is important? Cant i do those steps on procreate or on the cricut software itself?🙏🏻 Im short on money to have a subscription on photoshop😅
This is a unbelievably helpful, thank u so so so much
glad it was able to help you! 💕
mine only cuts the outline of the sheet but not the stickers...any tips????
This was very helpful. Do you have to use photo shop? This worked out great for my first sticker sheet!
Same here I love the feel and ease of traditional media.
An Angel sent from above!!! Thank you a detailed and very informative tutorial, blessings!!!!!
This helped SOOOO MUCH! Thank you so much for clarifying a lot of things. I use Photoshop a lot, and the way you think is so similar to how I do, and I have been wrestling with my cricut for a year now.. Anyway. Thank you so much for this video, it really REALLY helped.
This video was super duper helpful! I basically did the whole process and got everything right on the first try... but the only thing now is that my photos keep printing out grainy. I don't know if this is due to the resizing after using procreate. I'm also using white matte sticker paper and feel like that maybe the other issue. Or if it's just my printer in general. So many unknowns, but hopefully I can figure it out soon so I can set up my shop. Thanks for all fo your help!
keep doing what you love!
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for this video! It was exactly what I needed and you explained everything so well!! Thank you! The only thing is that I'm having some difficulties when I try to make the curved edges.... My photoshop doesn't let me to stroke the path, that you mention in your video... I think I must be doing something wrong...! 😬
it does that to me sometimes! What I do when that happens is:
1. Check to see whether or not the stroke is on brush. you can do this by right-clicking the path and click "stroke path..." if it the tool option is not on brush, change it to brush.
2. If it still doesn't work, Click on the brush tool and then select the hard round brush and adjust the size. Then the stroke option comes back up.
Maybe try that and see if it works :)
you can also try to use the "hard round" brush instead of the "hard round pressure size" brush because the pressure sized one has special effects on it :)
@@PaperuStudio Thank you! I'll give it a try 😉
Omg same here I’m gonna fucking kill myself. I see that she “deleted path” at one point but didn’t acknowledge it so idk of that’s supposed to be done. So bloody frustrated.
Didn’t work. Only cut out the square around the stickers. Not even the line to seperate them
Someone help mine is cutting the printed rectangle but it isn't cutting out the sticker images . Both backgrounds are transparent and the sticker layer and background layer are attached
Me too
@@okieqt1 i figure it out i was trying to use design space on ipad . It only works right on the desktop app
So helpful! Thank you!!
That 4 layer of the background is genius! Never would have thought of that thanks for sharing
I still have problems :(. I attached everything but it only cuts the border and not the Stickers. Pls help
Hi i have a esty shop and i make sticker i want to do like you, the sticker and a beauty backround and i do the exacly same tings as you do and my cricut just print the outline rectangle. What i need to do
Me too! Help!
This video is so great! I love seeing how you worked around the cricut settings to get both types of cuts ☺️
I'm honestly going MAD. I've watched this video so many times but my issue is I don't get the kiss cut? I just end up with individual stickers
I had the same issue, using the same brand of label she is using, both with Sticker Paper light pressure and Sticky Note light pressure. Finally I tried Laser Copy Paper with light pressure and the kiss cut worked. Give that one a try!
I wish in addition to the presets, they would let you manually tune thickness and pressure settings so you could really dial in the specifications, and then save your own named presets from that. I 3D print, so I'm used to having extremely fine control over the machine.
Good luck.
For me I get the background to cut but I can’t get a kiss cut at all. The cricut doesn’t even go to the stickers just around the sheet.
@@itsMirandaGarcia Oh, sorry, I thought you meant it was die cutting the individual stickers. I didn't actually do the die and kiss combo cut like I'm her video yet. Seems like it much be something with the cut configuration of the sticker layer if it's flat out skipping those.
AgentThirteen Thanks so much for the help!
@@Agent000013 thanks! I found using the adhesive foil setting works! Of course now I solved that issue my glossy sticker paper isn't drying the ink - left it 24 hours and it's still smudging even though I'm using an inkjet printer and inkjet paper. Maybe by christmas I'll have it worked out haha!
How do you get Design Space to rotate and print as a full sheet? I keep getting an error saying I am restricted to 6.75" x 9.25" or less. I really don't want to waste paper. I am using an Explore Air 2.
Mayra Herrera I was searching the comments for this exact question. Hopefully someone answers. I can’t seem to find a solution on google either.
In the same window that you create your file in Photoshop, instead of hitting create after you have your configured the settings, you want you can hit the icon next to the file name and create a saved preset template. This will be list that saved template under the 'Saved" menu option. It's convenient if you are using the same sized document for creating sticker sheets all the time.
Watery Wishes this is so genius, thank you! ❤️
also if you are moving a layer, you can hold down shift after you have started to move it in the direction you want, it will lock the axis so it stays aligned. This saves having to zoom in and check alignment.
This was sooo helpful thank you so much. I’ve been looking for someone to teach us how to make stickers! Not so much the designing part but after.. editing in PS or Illustrator..I’ve got both and I’m still learning but seriously this was fantastic.. I use procreate and Illustrator and another app to design my stickers/designs and I think I’ll give photo shop a good too lol the more experience with all the programs the better lmao anyways thanks again :) new subby and thumbs up for sure! I’ll check out more videos from you as well 😍💕
Thank you so much. Cricut software makes me want to tear my hair out. This is amazingly helpful!
glad this helped you! ❤️
Do you ever find that your Cricut sometimes cuts skewed?
This happens to me all the time, it's super frustrating!
Ashley H I find it happens often! Like I can’t print multiple sheets and cut them after because they cut skewed
Thank you for the tutorial! Very helpful, helped me figure out how to cut out the actual sticker sheet! I do have one suggestion for anyone who might need it. Instead of having to use guides to figure out what coordinates to set the actual stickers to in design space, just put your own "registration marks" at the corners of your sticker file before you save your images. (just make sure they're small and don't overlap your rectangle for your sheet) then your sheet file and your sticker file will end up the exact same size when you resize them in design space but there'll be just the right amount of transparent space on your sticker image so that your stickers will end up exactly where they should be when you "align centre" them together in design space over your sheet image without having to figure out coordinates
Thank you for this video!! I was wondering if you’ve ever made transparent stickers?? I’m trying to figure out how to create the cut line for them without the white trim being printed!
Hali S I know Jenny journals has a really good video about it
Printers don't have white ink, so nothing will be printed. :)
This video is great! Still trying to figure out how the sticky note setting is cutting the edges die cut all the way through but the individual stickers kisscut? Can anyone explainnn
Hi, it's because the background of the sticker sheet was duplicated. There are 5 copies of the background, all layered on top of each other, so the Cricut cuts it 5 times creating a die cut. Hope this helps! :)
Have you tried using the weather proof matt sticker paper of online labels? it feels like butter!
This was fantastic! I found yours through a Katnipp video as well lol but quick question. Do you have a video of if you're doing words for a sticker sheet? Is it better to make a white outline for those as well? Like if you wanted a whole sheet to say weekend in a fun font.
I loved your video,so informative. Would you be able to do a video on how to take your designs from procreate and how you complete it on Photoshop.I would love to see the process,subscribed.
Thank you SO much! This is by far the BEST video I have seen for setting up and cutting sticker sheets.
this was really helpfull thank sooo much
Very helpful! But, a question... Does doing this make your blue header a sticker and cut it accordingly? Is there away to JUST print the header and when you run it through the Cricut, it only cuts the stickers?
Hi Sussan :) I tried to follow as much as I could but got lost lol a great video though, thank you for sharing. Can you please do a video step by step if you can, been struggling and this is truly the only video that I came across with photoshop and cricut. I would so so appreciate it, I'm still new with photoshop so maybe that is why i am struggling. Thank you in advance :)
Would it be bassi let yo slow down the part of making the sticker background? I’m totally new to photoshop and it would help tremendously. Thank you 🥰
I have watched Katnipp, and Your Video. maybe I am doing something wrong because it want to cut my name and title as a sticker too. I will try again maybe I am missing a step. Any ideas. I have the die cut down and I can make sheet of just don't bend and thank you as the kiss cut. it is when i want to add a background it thinks every thing is a sticker. If you have any suggestion I greatly appreciate it.
I’m going to try this next, I tried another creators tutorial this morning and it still wouldn’t cut the lines on the kiss cut stickers aligned properly with the background, but that version made you print it, then use separate layers to do the kiss cut part and the die cut part separately (so two cuts) and it just wouldn’t align. I’ve wasted sooo much sticker paper just trying to get it to align the print and cut right, both on single and double layer versions and so far despite calibrating it so many times and the calibration coming out near perfect, it just can’t seem to do it right. Hopefully your version works when I try it tomorrow morning. Thanks
Is the stroke on each sticker necessary? My stickers are black so a white stroke looks odd. Is it only for looks to make it pop?
Please help. Not sure what I did wrong. I made stickers and make the background with my shop name on it but when I cut the sheet the sheet cut out but not the individual stickers??
c. cruz I have the same problem! Designed and printed and sticker sheet with a background today and following her tutorial it only cuts out the sheet 😩
Same! Have you found a solution yet?
Shakina Razale unfortunately no 😭. If you find out how to fix that please keep me posted
Okay finally got it figured out! So the max dimensions are 17.2 x 23.55 cm. On procreate, I created a doc in that size. And then I loaded my backing card and stickers. Because if we were to hide our backing cards and let cricut cut our stickers only, they tend to push the stickers upwards, right? So to retain their positions, I added a grid that frames the backing card. For my sheets, I try to print and cut 4 of them on one A4 paper. So on procreate, I reduce my sheet by a bit to give room for the grid. Then I hide everything except for my backing and save one doc under png format. Then I hide the backing and only show my stickers and the grid (looks like a window frame with space for 4 glasses), and save another png. Loaded and adjusted both in cricut design space. Attached both layers and printed them out. Before I cut, I went back to the canvas, hide the backing, but remain attached, and click make it, and then continue. Then click "I've already printed" and watch it cut my stickers. Sure it wouldn't cut through the backing cos I didn't multiply it, but it's okay. At least the kiss-cut lines are there as a guide for me to cut them using my guillotine later. I hope this makes sense! Will try to do a tutorial on it when I have the time! :)
Shakina Razale Thank u soo much will definitely try it 🤗
It's interesting to see different technique used for the cricut machine! I learned new methods so thank you! I will apply that to my stickers as well :)
Oh my gosh, this is what I keep trying to do and failing at. Liked & subscribed. Wish me luck :)
hi! ive watched many different tutorials but it never works like it only cuts out the background never the actual design? do you know what could be wrong?
It won’t cut the mini stickers inside of it for me and idk why, it’s only cutting the boarder from the sheet but not the stickers themselfs and idk what to do cause I’ve been trying everything and dik what it is I’m doing wrong
Your videos are super helpful~ Thank you for walking us through the process step by step. You've inspired me to start learning how to make my own stickers as well 😊 Btw your designs are adorable!
thank you!
Even when I follow this my cricut still only cuts out the background and not the individual stickers
If you don’t mind me asking you can we also do things on canva that you you do in photoshop as I don’t have the subscription for the photoshop
I got lost how to make the background...it goes too fast...
Hello, i tried to do exactly the same but cricut only cut around the edges of the sticker sheet, but coenst cut the stickers itself, does anyone know how to fix it? Thank you!
I’m having the same problem rn :(
This looks so much better than the Silhouette Portrait. I had one of those and gave it away in frustration. It would never cut the same twice even if the settings were the same each time. I think a Cricut would be so much better and less frustrating.
when I was deciding on whether to purchase the silhouette or the cricut, I saw a lot of people say the silhouette is not really beginner friendly ☹️ that's why I ultimately chose the cricut and its been great!
I try to do this but it only ever cuts out the back layer any advice
But how did you get it to not cut your logo at the top?
I could really use a tutorial like this for procreate!
Hey, this was a great tutorial!
Can you tell me what "kiss cut" means?
totally getting Katnipp vibes from this haha . cute
Hi is it possibile to make apple logo sticker by copying from internet and past it?
HELP!!! Why is it just cutting the backing not the actual stickers?
So crazy how I missed the comment from She meets City comment for how to cut out the backing as a DIE cut! I'm so excited for this! I was worrying what all will have to be squared. I will try this when I get home 🏠 Great tutorial 💪🏾
thank you! ❤️
Helppppp meeeeee
Re watching the video to make sure I did everything right *added bleed* 🤡
Love the photoshop part. I am so new to photoshop and forever struggling
LOL honestly I am still learning as I go even though i've been doing it for years xD
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen in creating Kiss Cut Stickers. However, has anyone else had an error message come up saying 'Image Upload Could Not Be Completed, Please Check Your Internet Connection' when trying to upload their image through 'Print Then Cut Image'? I managed to upload the first file for the stickers without the backing aka background sheet, but it won't upload the backing of the sticker sheet. Does anyone have the same message and if it's Cricut that's down?
Hi, thank you for you video... can you help with wiich printer do you recomend to both printable print iron on labels + waterproof/dishwasher safe labels ? Print and then cut kiss cut with cricut technic
i think I missed it, but how did you get the cricut to cut out the actual sheet as well?
Hi there, I love your video 😍 but I’m having a bit of trouble. I hope you can point me in the right direction. I am following all the steps but my Cricut is only cutting out the outline of my sheets and not the images I want kiss cut in the sheets😭 please help....
Use Design Space on a desktop or laptop, not from the app on your phone or an ipad. I also had the problem at first and I changed was I was using.
Thank you for the video! It was very detailed and easy to follow. I have a question - do you ever have trouble with your Cricut not cutting accurately? I have calibrated my Cricut twice, and the cutlines are not very accurate when cutting smaller planner type stickers. The first stickers it cuts are fine, but by the end of the second sheet they’re off and even cutting into the sticker design. My white outlines are plenty big enough, so I’m not sure what to do! Any tips would be appreciated!
yes, it was happening to me before but a recommendation from a viewer was to calibrate it slightly off and that worked very well for me!
@@PaperuStudio I am having this problem also, just on the 'second' set...what does it mean to calibrate 'slightly off'? I've calibrated the machine but that doesn't seem to help...I waited on the phone w/ cricut for 3 hours today and then the line hung up on me. ack!
I've been using Photoshop forever and I actually learned so many things (that I never even knew Photoshop could do) and I'm exited to start using them! I always thought I did things the long way 😅. Thanks!
YAY glad you picked up something from this video!
wait im a bit confused why you had to duplicated the background so many times?! how can it tell to dye cut the border and only kiss cut the stickers?
Shes most likely doing that to trick the machine into cutting the paper as if its cutting multiple sheets together but in actuality it's only cutting through one sheet while cutting on the sticky note setting, leaving the stickers kiss cut. If you dont do this you will have to go and cut out the whole thing separately.
As a professional graphic designer I have found the cricut absolutely infuriating to use. I split my cuts/designs into vector paths clearly and accurately in Illustrator in different layers just like I would if I were sending the files to a professional printer. I do not understand why cricut can't take layered files more sensibly after how long this product has been around. There are so many small businesses that use the cricut to make sheets just like this, so the fact that you have to do what are basically hacks like this is ridiculous. This is going to take me quite literally ten times as long as it needs to even with your hacks. Thank you SO much for making this video, I have been at my wits end with this thing.
Hello, I’m still very new to sticker making. My question is, why are the images duplicated when only 1 image will be printed then cut? Thanks!
This is really amazing Susan!!! You are very very talented! So thankful that so spent so much time for this tutorial! Your PS skill is soooooo good :) It will be so amazing if you can do more tutorial on PS, procreate and cricut :)
Thank you! I will be sure to do more videos on that :)
My stickers didn’t cut out. Only my backing. Anybody know why? Tia
I saw your video for Online Labels and it helped so much. Then I found this video and it changed everything! My work-around for sticker sheets was not reliable - sometimes it still wouldn't cut all the way through. This process worked like a charm. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and post these videos. You saved my sanity!!!
I wonder if we have the same iPad...yours looks like mine with the grey carry case and the paperlike screen protector lol. That's trippy!
Hello! Amazing tutorial. Do you mind me asking what dimension size did you use in procreate to create the sticker?
How do you print on the whole page? I keep getting told the images can't be larger than 17.5cm in width :(
So you know how to add that shop name header in Cricut design and format it so it doesn't cut? Very confused
What setting on thr cricut should it be set to?
I've followed multiple tutorials and can't get my cricut maker to cut my stickers out when using this method. It will cut out the background once, even when I layer the background multiple times but then says it's done with the project and it never cut out the stickers.
I tried again without adding any type of background, just a png of my stickers and it cut them out. I guess I will just have to manually cut my sticker sheets with a paper cutter.
could you make a die cut tutorial as well?
hi theree,I wanna ask what kind of ink do you use to print your sticker?and is there any other specific settings to print sticker using the canon pixma?really appreciate if u could response to this question😁
This was complex, but with good explanation. I’ve never made stickers before, so I got several good tips to help me good started. Thank you
