If you stick your sticker sheet on your Cricut mat, it helps hold it down so it’s not shift all over the place while you’re putting the laminate vinyl on.
I really enjoyed this video and found it helpful! Usually I like applying the laminate sheet over the entire piece of paper, then covering the registration lines with matte scotch tape. Even though it adds an extra step, it doesn’t require me to precisely cut and line up the laminate sheet inside of the lines, and the scraps that get cut off the edge aren’t good for much else anyway. The laminate sheet is also usually a little bit bigger than the 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, so the edges stick to the cutting mat and allow me to get more life out of an old less sticky mat. ☺️
Angie!! I love your videos! They have helped me so much!
Thank you for this tutorial Angie. I have been wanting to do Stickers
and now inspired to do so. Love your videos. ❤😊
Have fun!
Thank you for explaining to add the protective sheets within the cutting lines, I have been trying forever to make stickers with no success. I finally was able to print stickers today! I will definitely purchase the sponsored product. You ROCK!!
You can do it!
Thank you for how clear and concise your explanations are! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, Angie!!! You always come through.
Thank you so much!
What a difference a year makes. Bought my Maker last year and have watched dozens of your videos, including this one. I understand this so much better now that I’ve tried print then cut multiple times and stickers a few times. Thanks so much.
Great to hear!
Your videos are great! Thanks
Thank you! I loved the extra tips !
You're so welcome!
Now I would like to try this. Thank you for the tutorial.
Hope you enjoy!
Love Online Labels!!! Very helpful video 🥰
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. Makes me want to try making stickers!!!
I love making stickers with my machine!
Thanks so much for this! The laminate sheets will be a game-changer for some projects I'm working on that aren't actually stickers but need the laminate protection. 🙂I have your channel listed on my site as one to definitely watch!
Yay! Happy to help!
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing.🥰
Thanks for watching!
Thank you I was looking for the second way.
Awesome!
wow the level of detail! thank you so much, I just made my first stickers for my husband. I would love to print, stick the clear on top then cut all the way through with the clear offset.
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t wait to try this
Enjoy!
Thank You
Another great teaching video loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@AngieHolden yes I did you are welcome honey
LOL its so funny I've been laminating my stickers for years and now I'm seeing it everywhere. I use cold laminate I love it. I don't sell mine I use them for my packages on stuff I sell. I use my laminating machine on cold and I never get bubbles....love it
Hi, do you just use self adhesive laminate for cold laminate?
@@titajese Yeah it's just a cold laminate self sticking sheet but I do put that on and then I put it through my laminator on cold so that it gets every bubble out.
Thank you for this helpful video. My stickers will be 1000 times better now!
Glad it helped!
Love your video.❤ Just a FYI, the Cricut Explore 3 has an improved sensor for print and cut. I was able to cut through laminated cards with my Explore 3. So no need to place the laminate within the registration marks😉
I do understand that however MANY people have issues with their cuts being off from this so I just recommend cutting it to be safe.
Thank you !
You're welcome!
To bypass the sensor not being able to read the guidelines due to the glossiness, you can add a piece of matte tape over the lines. Having said that, cutting the vinyl down before cutting it on a Cricut, can also save unused material waste as well.
How ?
Hi Angie, thanks so very much for this video! Would this be the best option for adding a design to wood?
Try this: th-cam.com/video/ujNoOjmQyjo/w-d-xo.html
Use Acetate setting to cut all the way through.
You can also change the color of the offset to white. Then you don't have to contour.
Great videos!! What vinyl do you recommend printing stickers on and which laminate?
I link to everything I use in the description below the video.
This is very helpful thanks! Do you have a video of how to make magnets like this?
Try this: th-cam.com/video/cDzUSAhKk-A/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Angie!
Hi, thanks so much. Do you have any tricks for embossing / debossing on adhesive vinyl? Thx 😊
I do not!
@@AngieHolden appreciate the reply :) working on braille options for decals
Nice video. If the stickers don't cut all the way thru, can you press the go button again before removing the mat? Could that cut the mat by doing that? Or if you pick a setting that is too heavy for the paper, will that cut the mat? Thanx for the info.
You can press go again. But yes you can go too deep.
Could you put one on these on a Yeti or Stanley tumbler and seal it with something?
Generally people add this kind of sticker to a tumbler just as is. If you wanted to seal over it and make it permanent, I would look into Epoxy.
My cricut maker 3 never lines up to make stickers correctly even with calibrating and I always end hand cutting them with the gyro cutter.
Angie, I recently purchased a thermal laminator and I will be using the 3ml matte pouches. Will my Maker3 be able to cut the sticker through this laminated print and cut sheet? If so, what setting should I use?
I am sure it will. You will probably have to do some test settings. Maybe start with glitter vinyl setting then move to heavy cardstock if that doesn't work.
Can you do a thru cut with the laminate added after? Just wondering how that would work if you were gifting the sticker to someone and they would need to backing on the whole sticker but the laminate wouldn’t have a backing - just the actual sticker? I hope that makes sense.
I would probably do a through cut on the laminate. Apply to sticker. Then add backing to the entire thing.
Thank you for a great video! I never thought of using the clear sticker as a laminate, and I've been searching everywhere online for actual laminate sheets to buy, only to find that in Europe, the best brands are sold in 50 meter rolls (which is a lot of laminate for a small sticker side business).
I have a question though: Wouldn't it be easier, for the weather-proof sticker, to first cut the sticker sheet without the laminate, and add a box around the sticker area, leaving the registration box, then remove the surrounding sticker, add the clear laminate on the whole sheet, and then cut the whole thing again? Instead of adding the laminate on individual stickers? Anyways, I'm going to go order the clear stickers now, so I get to try this method. 💗
Maybe? You can try it!
thank you for this! when I click on the link to buy the laminate sheet, it asks to choose the material. which one did you buy for this tutorial? the standard white?
Yes I used standard white matte.
Thanks Angie! Could I do this method to avoid epoxy or crystalac to design a cold cup or double wall acrylic?? I’m just getting into tumblers and have been doing a lot of research. I want to avoid epoxy for the toxicity and I don’t think I have the patience for all the layers of crystalac that are required. Is there any option that will work to seal decals/stickers or am I @$&%# out of luck??
It won't be as waterproof as epoxy. Nothing really is!
HI Angie- I like the extra protection with laminate AFTER, but I need die cut stickers. How would i make for a customer?
You would need to cut through on both. Then keep the backing to the laminate. Apply the laminate then add the backing back to it.
Does the sticker paper with extra laminate offset hold up well when applied to a vinyl surface?
Not sure what you mean by vinyl surface? You may have to test it.
Is Laminate or transparent vinyl better for protection for stickers? I'm confused on the difference. My other question is there a way to make a full sheet of stickers on an 8x10
It is similar. I prefer laminate. You can only do a maximum of 6.75x9.25 inches on a Cricut to have room for the box.
Hello Angie love all your videos I need help I'm trying to put cricut design space in my galaxy tablet A I have the app on my laptop n have cricut access but when I go to play store the cricut app doesn't show up just cricut home do you have a video that shows how to do this ? Thank u
I have had success getting it from the Google Play Store. Try searching for Cricut Design Space.
Ok thank u very much 👍
I have a circuit joy xtra and it does do print then cut
This was filmed before the xtra was released.
thank you...what printer you use and where can I by it!
Try this: th-cam.com/video/3L3Dn5rkQ9A/w-d-xo.html
I bought weatherproof vynil sticker paper for stickers and cold laminated them as well. My husband uses the stickers on his hard hat but they faded after a week. Could you help with that?
If he is outside it is probably UV light. I would use a UV laminate.
So if I'm doing a die-cut/through cut (to sell) how do I have it so the laminate over the edge? Like if the customer wants to put it on a tumbler.
That is more difficult. I would do a through cut on the laminate. Peel off laminate, add sticker, put laminate back on.
Hello I’m I bit confused since I do not have a cricut could I still make stickers without the cricit and just using a laminator if so what paper could I use, I just want them for my small business to stick on my boxes. If anyone knows could you please answer my question thank you so much!
When u did the off set on the stickers did u put off set on each sticker or looks like u did the whole group, or was that just show and tell.
This particular file was all grouped together when I imported it.
Every time I do print then cut I seem to get black smudges all over everything and I thought it was from the registration line around the outside but I think it might also come from any black that's on the print. I let my prints sit and sometimes for hours and I still have this problem. Do you think it's my paper or my printer? I have an Epson printer.
My guess would be it is your sticker paper. Some brands do not dry. For reference, these sat MAYBE 5 minutes before cutting. Be sure to get inkjet paper if you have an inkjet and laser if you have a laser.
How did you get such a large print then cut area. It looks bigger than the 6.75x9.25
It is not any larger than that.
is it the clear gloss sticker the same with clear laminate? I could not find any store in canada selling online labels
I like the laminate over the top best. You can find other brands.
Does it always print the box around the stickers?
Thanks
The Cricut machine needs the box to locate the cuts.
Im doing a water bottle which method would be great
I would definitely use a laminate sticker on a water bottle.
By any chance can I laminate printable sticker paper to be used for car decals
Try this: th-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/w-d-xo.html
hi, will these adhere & survive hand washing on reusable hard plastic water bottles. (not the filled water bottles from grocery stores).
I would not recommend these for that.
@@AngieHolden tku, for yr reply..
I started making stickers with print and cut on my cricut yesterday. I went through all of my ink! I am making photo stickers on glossy photo paper. At $55 a pop for ink, I can't see this turning into a side business. I'm using a brand new Epson WF295 to print. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
I don't use that much ink when printing mine. It depends on a lot of factors though.
The matte paper (recommended in the description) sticks to my cricut light grip mat. So much to that I had to rip it off the mat, ruining my stickers. Any suggestions?
I usually stick a new mat to my shirt a few times for more delicate materials.
how did you get so many stickers out of your print then cut? I thought our limit was 6.75 x 9.2"
This is the maximum size. With the box, that max size is a full sheet of paper.
I just downloaded the cactus file from Creative Fabrica,. The images seem to have an offset already.I am new to Cricut.Can you help?
Yep. I mention that in the video. They have a blank offset but I added a white one. That is my preference. Follow the step by step directions in the video to add one if you want one.
Where do you get that laminated paper???
I have sources for everything I use in the description below the video. On computer, scroll down and click show more. On mobile, click the arrow to expand the description or swipe up on the video.
Do you happen to know of a trick to make car stickers? If its sublimation or printable vinyl, I made theses stickers but they faded from the sun on my car.
Try this: th-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/w-d-xo.html
Can I use epoxy over matte sticker paper
I would probably put a layer of decoupage or some sealer over it. Epoxy can attack paper as well as ink.
Are stickers from an inkjet printer even waterproof at all since the ink is water soluble? Dont you have to laminate it if you want it to be waterproof? Thanks for the video!!
I am laminating them in this video. They do make "waterproof" sticker papers that I have had luck with.
@@AngieHolden Thanks!
how much pressure when you cut the laminate
Depends on the laminate brand. I would say a light cardstock setting to cut all the way through the layers.
Why don't you use the sticker paper cut setting? Just curious.
Sticker paper is actually for the Cricut sticker paper and it is really thick. I tried it and it went all the way through.
@@AngieHolden so would that setting maybe work if I wanted to do a through cut? I like to add stickers as freebies in my customers' packages, so I need to do the through cut for those.
Applying the laminate over the individual stickers doesn't leave much room for error!
No it does not! Not my favorite way to do it!
Cricut's packaging is very confusing >.< Not only do they keep changing it, the labeling is very cryptic. I ended up getting white vinyl with holographic laminate. The only other package they had was one that said transparent, however, there are two kinds of transparent product. Transparent vinyl (no white background on the sticker) or, Transparent Laminate (white vinyl background with transparent laminate), they are both labeled exactly the same, but the SKU is different. Someone at cricut needs to be fired over this. The BIG issue is that the one that has transparent vinyl (no white background) actually shows white background sticker examples on the packaging, making one believe they are getting a white vinyl. Luckily I'm printing butterflies for someone and the holographic laminate is going to work out just fine in the end.
Laminating a sticker sheet is not making WATERPROOF stickers. That is making water resistant stickers. Huge difference. Laminated stickers should not be advertised as waterproof. Truly waterproof stickers can be run through the dishwasher, put on a truck or a kayak, etc.
Okay then how to make waterproof?
@@finchdrive I get mine printed professionally.
These methods are way too time consuming if you want make a lot of laminated stickers to sell. I have a faster simpler method. However, although I add a slit for peeling my stickers in the back, there is still the danger of the customer not seeing the slit and peeling the laminate off thinking that's how you're supposed to peel them. I'm looking for ways to make laminated stickers secure from having the laminate peeled off.
I only made it 35 seconds into this video because my misophonia was flaring up due to the stickiness of her mouth. Cute stickers and I’m sure it would have been informational but the irritation was mounting. Maybe swish water in your mouth before filming to reduce the sticky saliva.
Please feel free to not watch.
@@AngieHolden As I said, I did not. Found others.
