You and I are in the same boat, Stephen (well, except I'm a gal)! I think we're going to have a lot of fun exploring the possibilities, and Angie's videos are really helpful :-)
Angie, thank you so much for every Thorough video you make for us. I have never been disappointed in any video you make. I feel like I always learn something! I wholeheartedly thank you!
Great video! I just got an Explore Air 2 and one of the main things I want to do with it is make stickers of my art. This video is super helpful. I just fired up the machine for the first time yesterday. I printed numbers on HTV to put on a t-shirt as a gift, and then pushed the limits and tried to hack a way to print matboard in shapes as backers for vinyl stickers (for ornaments). The matboard effort was a bust (I got close, but not quite there). Then I tried using Yupo that I had on hand (it's a stiff plastic paper), playing with custom settings and that worked. Now I'm ready to try stickers to put on those Yupo backers!
Awesome tips and tricks - had no idea there was so much to think about - now I need to get busy with labels - thank you for a great video - you amaze me
Love your videos, always very helpful and easy to follow. Personally, I don’t like the stickers to cut all the way through. Too hard to peel and I end up ruining some.
This came just in time, thank you! I just learned how to make stickers on procreate and just got an explore air 2. I have a laser printer so hoping to find sticker paper that’s solely for laser.
Great video ! I will tell you about my problem the other day, my cuts were so off, just crazy ! I cut, I calibrated and cut again and it was still off … then I was looking at my crazy cuts and realized I had put my paper on the mat upside down from how my Cricut had it. Totally operator error, I was trying to get more on my mat and had put my background “square” sideways and Cricut software put it for me upside down. So make sure you check the orientation of your paper and don’t be like me and assume 🤣 !
I'm new to cricut and so glad I found your videos. The video about choosing the best sticker paper was especially helpful. I am having one problem I was hoping you could help with. I'm getting black horizontal lines on my sticker image when removing it from the printer. The lines are just on the image not the entire width of the sticker paper. I have an HP ink jet printer. Any thoughts? Thank you
Betsy McHugh thanks for your great videos but what is a good printer for both sublimation and printing stickers before I consider purchasing one need some advice on this thanks
Is there a way to send a design you made on design space to someone else so they can print it for you? I'm currently without a printer, but want to get started on this project ASAP! Thanks for your amazing video.
I love your teaching style and research that you do. I love making cards . Is there a way to use a stamp image color it in and cut out as a sticker or offset the image and cut? Maybe the cricut cant do that but thought i would ask. Thanks for all you do on your channel
Hey Angie, I have a quick question for you and I hope you can help. I have been trying to find a CLEAR printable permanent vinyl that is waterproof for ink jet printers. Do you have any ideas of what I could use and where? I would like to apply it on glass mostly. Thank you in advance for your help.
@@AngieHolden I posted question before end of video where you mentioned using a marker to make registration marks more readable. Doesn't make sense why it won't read on color paper. But then I guess that's why they keep improving the machines & coming out with better models. But that's what keeps us as customers. I so appreciate all the helpful tips & tricks you share. I know you have invested many hours just to be able to share with us. I love watching your videos. You are very thorough in explaining how to do a process. Again thank you so much.
Great video. I have a cricut cake machine & have bought regular cutting blade & things to cut paper & make stickers. I am just asking for some advise about how I use everything to make christmas gift tags like you made in this video. Hope you can help as I do not want to go & buy another cricut machine. Cheers Rosemary
New subscriber here! I just got the Cricut Maker 3 to use for my wreath business and I would like to make stickers out of my business logo, can I do this with an SVG or something like that? I created my logo using Canva. If you have any videos you could guide me to that can help, please let me know. Great videos!! Thanks for your knowledge I find it quite helpful for us newbies!!
Export the logo from Canva as a PNG file. Upload to Design Space and erase the background. Then you have an image just like you see in this video that you can use to make stickers.
As always, terrific instruction! How do I get glossy finished stickers like those sold professionally? Just printing on glossy sticker paper is not the same look. Do I need to laminate or something?
I am only using print then cut with the Cricut which has the registration marks. I actually don't have a laser printer so I haven't done anything with that.
I have the clipart, etc linked in the description below the video. On computer click show more. On mobile click the arrow to expand or swipe up on the video.
I have the exact printer that you use. However when I click on the dialog box, my print settings box does not show all the options that yours does. It simply gives me an option for “fine” print and nothing else😔. what step am I missing?
Hi Angie Love tour tutorials Ive just purchased a cricut joy. Ive gone thru added font I want to print , bluetoothed my cricut to computer. Go Make it, Connect my machine then it says " Looks like this device is connected in a different window. Close that one forst then try again. Well Ive only got one page open for my cricut program . This has got me baffled. Please help Vivienne
hi Angie, is there a way on the maker 3 to factory reset, or something i have a new maker 3 which i have registered and updated but about an hour after setting this up on Bluetooth it failed, my phone and pc and other phones will not find the maker 3 on Bluetooth at all im not sure whats happening when it worked was fine when i first got it then it locked up unresponsive so pulled the power for a few mins the powered back on and couldnt find the maker 3 on devices not sure if there a way to force reset or something its very annoying any help would be much appreciated
What material is actually waterproof for stickers to put on water bottles? I've tried so many that say waterproof yet when washed they fall apart. What material do pros use?
Help! if I wanted to make a sticker and use the offset feature along with a kisscut, is there a way to add a circle around the entire design so the image cuts all the through the circle and the kisscut offset sticker is in the circle? Hope that makes sense.
There is but it gets a bit complicated. You would add the circle in design space and then make several copies of it laying them one on top of another. The Cricut machine would then make many passes over the circle and only one on your sticker. That would be a kiss cut around the sticker and through cut on the circle.
How do you just do text and then print and cut. I need to Wright out the words Merry Christmas, nothing else and I want to offset it . Everything I try this it will not cut out the individual sticker . Thank you for your help with this I do not know what i am doing wrong.
Hello, hopefully you can help me and a fan of yours for a while when following you on TH-cam I believe TickTock but my question is I do my status everything is fine when I preview it before I press send to printer everything is in place once I do send a printer my images are all misconstrued do you have any hacks on how to fix that or any idea
Omg, that came out so wrong. Thank you for responding. My issue is when I click attach, go to print and cut, the preview that I’m getting is scrambled and it does not print in color. I don’t know if you know how to fix that or even if it’s an easy fix
Wait so I can't use clear sticker paper? I've seen so many videos im so confused. I gave up on the print and cut like 10 months ago and haven't used it kept getting error on the registration lines. Been wanting to try again and just mess up all my stash as long as I can do stickers.

It totally happened! HA!
Your videos are wonderful. I just bought my first cricut, really enjoying it thanks to you!!
Have fun!

Your video is the best I have found on making stickers with Cricut! I’m subscribing now because it was so clear, precise and easy to follow along!
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great video! Thank you again, Angie! So happy to see this, especially this time of year.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Angie. Just what I need. I am getting an Explore 3 for Christmas from my hubbie and I love stickers.
Perfect!
Lots of great tips! Thanks!
You bet!
Thank you sooooo much! Because your directions are soooo good I got stickers!
Yay! Happy to help!
Love your videos, always very helpful and easy to follow. Personally, I don’t like the stickers to cut all the way through. Too hard to peel and I end up ruining some.
That is how I feel but I have people ask all the time about cutting them all the way through!

Be sure to pick best quality printing and choose a matte paper setting if you are still having issues.

Great video. Thank you again
Glad you enjoyed it
Betsy McHugh thanks for your great videos but what is a good printer for both sublimation and printing stickers before I consider purchasing one need some advice on this thanks
You can't do both on one printer. You would need two printers.
Have you done stickers on Cameo 4? I keep seeing that you can make larger sticker sheets with this-less wasteful.
I don't have any Silhouette machines.
Is there a way to send a design you made on design space to someone else so they can print it for you? I'm currently without a printer, but want to get started on this project ASAP! Thanks for your amazing video.
If I want to do that, I usually print as a PDF from design space and send that file to someone to print.
Thank you for this video. Can we use laser printer with the Printable vinyl?
You would just need to find a product that says it will work with a laser printer.
I love your teaching style and research that you do. I love making cards . Is there a way to use a stamp image color it in and cut out as a sticker or offset the image and cut? Maybe the cricut cant do that but thought i would ask. Thanks for all you do on your channel
The Cricut can't scan your stamp and cut around it. The only thing you could do is take a picture of it and upload then do a print then cut.

@@AngieHolden Thank you it was very helpful.
Have you tried going over the registration marks with a sharpie to see if it would recognize marks on colored paper?
It has been a while but I did several things to try colored paper on the Explore Air 2 and it just didn't work.

The Cricut Cake is no longer supported by Cricut and will not work with Design Space. It is not compatible with this project.
Love your videos! Quick question-at about the 10:18 mark it looks like the sticker area is bigger than 6.75x9.25? Am I just seeing it wrong? Thanks!
Nope. It is 6.75x9.25. That area once you put the box around it is a full size sheet of paper.
Thank you. Great information.
Thanks for watching!

I am only using print then cut with the Cricut which has the registration marks. I actually don't have a laser printer so I haven't done anything with that.
@@AngieHolden Got it, thank you!
Hi Angie. You said for the air white sticker paper and no colours. However, can you use clear sticker paper ? Thank you Heather
I have had luck with that before so it should work!

Just close design space and restart. Unplug your machine and plug it back in. That usually fixes that error.
Great video as always. just one question... are the stickers waterproof??
You can see how to do something like that here: th-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/w-d-xo.html
I'm new to all this. You said you would drop the link below so we could make these stickers, so where is the link?
On computer click show more. On mobile click the arrow to expand or swipe up on the video.
Can you print a larger picture on this sticker sheet and apply to a t-shirt?
These stickers are not intended for a shirt. You can see a product you could use on shirts here: th-cam.com/video/ujNoOjmQyjo/w-d-xo.html

Since cricut is confused by glossy paper, does that mean I should only make white matte stickers?
Not at all! The matte tape hack works amazingly well!
Help! if I wanted to make a sticker and use the offset feature along with a kisscut, is there a way to add a circle around the entire design so the image cuts all the through the circle and the kisscut offset sticker is in the circle? Hope that makes sense.

Flatten it to the offset and it will be a sticker.
Could you recommend some reliable sticker suppliers? Sometimes, I am not patient about making stickers by myself.
I know Redbubble is a good option!
@@AngieHolden Have you customized stickers online? How about it? Any suggestions for us?
I have not done them myself but have several other friends that order from there and sell stickers.

You can use clear sticker paper. I am just using white.
There is an issue with the print and cut feature at the moment that cricut are working on a new update to fix after the last update made it go wrong
I have seen more issues with it. I did film this after that update thought and everything went fine.
What type of image can you make a sticker with? Does it matter if it’s svg?
It doesn't matter. You would just flatten the SVG in Cricut Design Space to be print then cut.
Can you use these tips for care instruction cards?
If you want them to be stickers, yes. If you want just cardstock, I made a version of those here: th-cam.com/video/QEoSv032t1A/w-d-xo.html

Do you also use Procreate to design stickers?
I do sometimes!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome!
you use matte even for glossy sticker paper?
Yes you can. Or you can try glossy.
where did you make the design ??
I uploaded the clipart and it is linked in the description then I showed the rest of the steps in the video.
How often do you need to calibrate?
Just depends on the machine and conditions.
What setting is kiss cut on the maker
It is going to depend on the sticker paper you are using. Here I am using Cricut Printable Vinyl and the vinyl setting for a kiss cut.
@@AngieHolden thank you again love your videos and thanks for taking the time to teach us, happy holidays
Can you please help me make stickers that are 1.25" x 3" using josesophia font?
