My jaw is on the floor watching you copy mulitple layers from one canvas to another, WE CAN DO THAT??? WHAT??!!
Been using procreate for two years, I never knew that was thing 😂 So glad to see it!
SAAAAAAMMMME!!!!😂
Sameeeee ☠️
8:20 The washi tape cut will do a "kiss cut" so to ensure that your background is fully cut out of the sticker paper then you will have to duplicate the background 3x (going from what Fructus did). This will have the cricut machine cut multiple times around the boarder to ensure it is fully cut.
Edit: Seeing how you did the outline on each sticker was so helpful!
Thankyou for this! I was just about to come In the comments and ask if anyone knew the best way to kiss cut the stickers and cut the whole sticker sheet out at the same time ❤
@tamzenhunter1681 I hope it made sense 😅 you may have to duplicate the background 4-5x.
@@PegzieBean it did! Thankyou!
Sticker sheets have always terrified me, you've explained this in such a simple way, great tutorial ❤
Yeah I used to avoid them because it seemed to scary and complicated haha but I hope this helps! 😊♥
This is absolutely the most complete and easy to follow video I’ve ever watched on sticker sheets. You are the hero we all needed. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! Glad it was so helpful!🐻♥
Thanks for walking us through this!
12:30 hey, Jen, great video! Just a quick tip that I discovered: you can actually wash the Cricut mats in soap and water to remove residue, which will greatly improve the stickiness.
Great tip! Thanks! I will try that out because I really don't like using all that tape!
you explained everything so great, thank you ❤
easy to follow looking to try myself thanks and great video!
This is sooooo incredibly helpful!
This was such a great tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your process!
This is so helpful!!! I love it!! Thank you!!!
Great tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm still learning Procreate, this will be something fun to work towards.
Thank you for much for making this video! Every single step is clear and well explained :)
All of this is so helpful :D
I myself want to build a sticker business and no other tutorial was this helpful ^^
Thank you so much for showing the COMPLETE process including the print settings. That really helped me alot!
Thank you so much for this. I have had my Cricut for a month and this video really helped me! Great tutorial!
This is SO helpful. I love that you include designing a sticker sheet along with the printing and cutting.
This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!♥♥♥
This was so helpful! I’m making some gothic valentines sticker sheets and this answered all my questions
This is like the best tutorial for making and cutting stickers. Thanks.
Excellent video!!!! Thank you!!!!
This is the best tutorial I ever found! Thank you for making it so clear and easy to understand❤❤ (Also I looooove your sticker designs. They're so cute!)
This tutorial is such a gift!! Your explanations are so clear and thorough! 😊❤
Glad you think so! 🐻♥
What a fantastic video, best I've seen so far, so clear and informative thanks.
Wow, thanks!🐻♥
Excellent and clear video. Thank you. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!😊😊😊
Best tutorial ever
Always so interesting to watch your videos! I'm currently planning on make some stickers for my shop for the first time so this video is very handy to have around, specially for the printing settings since I also have an epson thanks for sharing!
Good luck!!♥♥♥
Thank you for this video, you made it easy to understand. 🙏👏🏽
Yayy! I'm so happy to hear that! ♥♥♥
This is definitely one of the best videos I’ve watched ! I love it 🎉❤
Wow, thank you! 🐻♥
great video, very well presented, thank you for sharing your process ☺
Glad it was helpful! ♥🐻
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is concise, yet you covered the topic completely. I have watched this video twice already and will refer back to it as I print out my stickers. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!🐻♥
thank you for sharing😊
This is hands down the best how-to video I have ever seen! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks!😊♥
Awesome!
Thank you. This was very informative
So glad!
This is a really great “How to,” vid. It covers everything I wanted to know whilst being clear and concise so I understood without losing interest. Thanx, I really appreciate this upload 😍
I absolutely love your videos! You've helped e so much in starting my own sticker business :)
Awesome! Thank you and I wish you the best on your business! 🐻♥
I was today years old learning about how to copy layers to different canvases!!!!! I’m so excited to try this!!!
Same!!! Also different pages in a single canvas lol
Yayy! I'm glad you learned a couple of new tricks! ♥😊
U R VERY GIFTED.
Great video!
Wonderful tutorial! It did take me 3 passes with the Cricut Maker using Zicoto Vinyl Glossy Sticker Paper using Washi setting and a fairly new blade. But the results are wonderful!
Hands down the best video I've watched about sticker sheets! Do you have a video on how you created your header for your sticker sheets?
Happy to hear that! 🥰 I don't have a video or tutorial on the header right now. I just drew it in by hand but you can use Canva probably and use the shapes they have to create something similar :)
On time the vedio that i needed
Same!
Yayyy! I'm so glad that its come at the right time! 🐻♥
So informative
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this awesome video and for your time in making it! Thank you for telling us the Procreate canvas size for the sticker sheet. What canvas size do you use for your sticker?
Heya, I just wanted to pop by and say thank you so much! I've been struggling to make stickers with a sticker sheet and your video was the clearest and most concise video I've watched so far.
Glad I could help!☺❤
Thanks for the video! I really like your videos. I’ve seen people use the Cricut to cut out the sticker sheet but your way seems a lot easier.
Thank you! I'm always looking for ways to make things simpler and easier to do and understand so I'm very glad to hear that you think this video/process does that! 😊♥
🐻🧡❤️😍✨✨✨ Yayyy so glad to cozy up to another informative kawaii video, hope you have an awesome weekend Jen😍✨✨🧡❤️🐻
Yayy! thanks for being here and I hope you too have an awesome weekend! 🐻♥
@@fructusillustrations 🐻🧡❤️✨
Thanks!
Thank you
Watched this tutorial so much to help start my own sticker business. Little too for the cricut make sure you wash your mats with water and soap and let air dry frequently. Help preserve the sticky
That's a great idea! Will have to try that out soon!
This simple, easy to follow tutorial is a life-saver for my Autistic and ADHD brain who gets easily overwhelmed! Thank you so much, up until now I've just been making die-cut stickers, but I now want to give sticker sheets a go. I'm going to keep coming back to this wonderful tutorial throughout the process. Thanks again!
Out of curiosity (been trying to find more info on this) how did you get your stickers die-cut? I've been making sticker sheets and want them to be die-cut, so in the opposite boat as you. Which cut setting would that be?
@@rach3lBby I use cardstock for die-cut (default pressure) 👍🏻
This is amazing work if I only knew how to to use procreate. I’ve been watching countless videos on how to make stickers it’s gets so overwhelming when you are a newbie but so far you tutorial is pretty straight forward other then not know how to use procreate . Do you have a tutorial on procreate?❤
Thank you for this complete tutorial and for doing it with a dignity and professionalism, for not making “entertaining “🙌🏻
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this super useful tutorial Jen!! You are the best! May I ask what paper you use for the sheets? Thank you !! 🥰🥰
I used HTV Ront matte printable vinyl for these sticker sheets!
This was amazing! I love that you did the clipping mask for the sticker outlines 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
thank you jennifer for the video
This is awesome ! thanks so mch !! what kind of sticker sheets are you using ?
Thank you for your video!! Definitely the easiest video I’ve seen to follow. I do have a question though - I did all the same steps but for some reason my circuit is only cutting the background edges and not the sticker…would you have a troubleshoot for this?
I appreciate this!! I make die cuts, but was wondering how sheets would work. I’m glad you told us the size too, cricut expanded their space since the last update, but I didn’t know what size to make so it will resize properly. I hate that cricut blows everything up!
Also, may I ask what type of paper you use for sheets? I also should look into my color management settings, I’ve always but a bit scared to use them, but often my stuff prints too dark and not saturated enough.
Glad this video was helpful! I used HTV Ront Matte printable vinyl for these sticker sheets! 😊
Hi can you tell me how you made the backing sheet?
Thanks for sharing your process ❤ xxx
I really enjoyed watching this video! Thank you very much for the tutorial. 💕 I just bought myself an epson printer some time ago and actually have one specific problem when printing; it leaves pizza wheel marks (little dotted lines all over the paper). Could you please make a video about your printer and settings, depending on which kind of paper you use? That would be amazing! Looking forward seing more videos from you!
I have this issue too on my Epson printer, I haven't yet found a way to combat it and I've been trying for 11 months 😭
Your video are a godsend thank you SO much for making them
On procreate, I mostly use the monoline brush and the studio pen brush! Sometimes, if I want extra texture, I use the dry ink brush! 😊♥
Hey did you attach the image with the background before you duplicated it and attached it? 🥰
Very helpful in depth video! Thanks for sharing ❤ I’m curious to know much each material cost when you created the sticker sheet? From the printer, to paper, the cricut and any other materials you need. I’ve been sending my designs to a company for them to make my stickers, but I’m leaning towards making my own stickers 😊
This is really cool! Thank you, will definitely check out the shop 😊 How do you deal with ink costs, though? Isn't it too expensive/printer needs to be refilled constantly?
I have an epson ecotank printer and it uses ink bottles instead of ink cartridges so its very long lasting. I've had my printer for over a year and I've only had to refill the ink once!
This video has been immensly helpful, thank you! i was just wondering what size canvas you design the stickers themselves on?
For stickers sheets, I use a 4.5 x 6 inch canvas :)
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I’d like to ask when do you think it’s necessary to laminate the stickers after printing? Thanks again.
I only laminate my individual stickers because I expect those to be used on various surfaces that are subject to more wear. So I laminate them to be more protected. I don't laminate sticker sheets because I expect those to be used in notebooks and journals. Deciding when you want to laminate is entirely up to you though! 🐻♥
Thank you ❤❤
Excellent video which I followed today but I am not having the options to do the colour profiles where you do the +10 to the colours and choose 'vivid'? I am using a MacBook.
I have an epson printer so I'm not sure if you're using something different but you can try deleting your printer and re-adding it
Hey jen loved the video and how you explained. May i know what is the size of sheet on which you made separate stickers?
The sticker paper is letter sized or 8.5 inches x 11 inches. I can fit 2 sticker sheets per page 😊
Hi Jen, for the part where you show the sticker design, whats the canvas size? I noticed that it didnt pixelate when you transfer them to the sheet and adjust them. Thanks! 😊 hope you can read my comment.
Love the video. Been looking for a tutorial like this.
Next is for the border layout you made. I will find tutorials on how to do that. 😂
On procreate, the canvas size is 4.5 x 6 inches or 1350 x 1800 pixels at 300 DPI. In the Cricut design space, I then just size it back to 4.5 x 6 inches because it gets really big when you import it 😊
This is not working for me. Every single time I try to do sticker sheets like this, my cricut only cuts the outline of the sticker sheet, but NEVER cuts the stickers themselves. It's extremely frustrating.
This video is so helpful!! I’m doing exactly what you have done but my cricut is still only cutting out the background square and not the individual stickers, any tips?!
Are you uploading the stickers and the background separately? If so, make sure that they are both set to print and cut. And don't merge the layers in the Cricut Design Space. You want to only group or attach them.
does cricut print for you and ship to your house or do you need to buy the printer?
Great tutorial! But what is the canvas size for your design sticker (at 2:16)?
I use a square canvas that's 3080 px by 3080 px 😊
Just a quick question. I watched the one you did for the individual sticker (I loved it and it was very helpful btw), but I noticed you don't laminate your sticker sheets. Why? (I'm sorry if that's a stupid question. I've never done anything like this and I'm just curious) Thank you for the videos! They are so awesome and helpful, Thank you!
I chose not to laminate my sticker sheets because the intended use for these kinds of stickers are for planners or notebooks. Getting the cut settings right is very tricky with sticker sheets too. It's not impossible but this is what I decided to do :)
I love the tutorial, very easy to understand!! Im having a problem, tho 😭 I follow the cutting process exactly how you did, but my machine only keeps cutting the background and doesn't cut the stickers inside. I try different techniques, but it keeps doing it wrong
Hmm maybe try uploading the files again and double check that you are doing "print then cut" on both the stickers and the background when you upload the files separately 😊 And make sure you only group or attach your layers. Do not flatten! Hope this helps!
Yes, I was doing it like that. I think it is really weird that it is not working. I tried another method after, and it kinda work but the cut wasn't perfect 😅
Anyways, thank you for replying. I recently found your channel, and I love your content relaxing and inspiring ✨️💜
it was really helpful, but i have question, if i used cricut to create the sheets do i must have the cricut machine ?
Yep! ❤
ive seen in another video how you used self-laminating sheets, is it possible to use them on sticker sheets and have the cricut not cut all the way through?
You can laminate the sticker sheets however you would have to duplicate the layers so that it cuts through the laminate and the sticker paper but you would also have to play around with the settings though and figure out how many layers you would need so that you cut only through to the sticker designs
Thank you! This is very informative. But I noticed you created in Procreate using RGB. I always thought we had to use CMYK if we are going to print.
Typically yes that is the rule for printing. However, my printer can handle RGB and I prefer the colors with this color profile so that's why I use it. 😊
Amazing video! I’ve been wanting to do stickers for ages but I can’t draw to save myself so I feel like I can’t go any further with that dream 😢
Learning how to draw and to find a style takes time and practice! But i hope you find a way to achieve your dreams :)
Oh one more question! Do you put laminate sheet on the sheet too? If so what do you set the cut preference to so it stays on the sheet?
I don't laminate my sticker sheets currently. I tried it in the past and it's too complicated to figure out the correct cutting pressure to use so I just don't laminate them :)
@@fructusillustrations its still pretty water resistant right?
I do laminate my sheets & I use "Sticky Note" setting. I set the pressure to "hard" but you may have to play around with it. I also layer my background about 4-5 times to make sure the Cricut cuts out the sticker sheet.
@@PegzieBean thanks for this tip! I was just about to ask this question but thought I would check the comments first! I like to use holo laminates because so many people have liked the look of it on my die cut stickers!
Love your videos. What ink do you use?
Thanks! I use the epson ink that is recommended by the manufacturer 😊
Hey, this is an awesome video! I just have one problem and it’s with the printer settings. In the System Dialog pop-up, where it should say “Printer Options,” it says “Watermark.” There’s also several other things that are different in the pop-up window, but that’s the main thing. I have no idea how to change the color settings when it is like this.
You could try removing your printer from your computer and then re-adding it. Also make sure the correct printer driver is installed! I hope that helps! 😊
@@fructusillustrations which driver do you use exactly as mine is the “correct” one but I still am having this same issue!
Just make sure that the driver is the same name, make and model as your printer. My other suggestion is to remove the printer from your computer and set up again like its a brand new printer. Hope that helps!
I would like to start with sticker
Could you help me for the starter equipment what I need ?
Great tutorial. I have had my Cricut Maker machine for 3 years and never dared to make some stickers. I understand everything except for one thing. When I am in Procreat and going around my stickers with white and using the script brush with the stabilization settings of Max and Stabalization to Max . I then go around my sticker and my line does not come out even around my sticker. I know I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out.
My suggestion would be to go slowly. Sometimes going slow is helpful to get a consistent outline.You could also turn on the brush cursor to see how big the brush is and maybe that could help with outlines. To turn it on go to Actions > Prefs > Brush cursor
Thank you :)
@@fructusillustrations
Great video!! One qq - How did you add the 'Printer Options" in the Cricut design? I have the same model printer but I do not have that option and my sticker sheets turn out really faded.
To get the printer options, you may have to delete the printer from your computer and re-add it. That's my suggestion! Hope that works!
Let me know if you were able to find "printer options" bc I am having the same issue and I've removed and added the printer a few times already. It won't let me adjust color settings.
@@gyzeliiart You may want to refer to this video for the printer setting and hopefully that will work :)
@@fructusillustrations I had the wrong driver installed and it seems it's an Epson problem. Thanks for responding and I just want to say, I love watching your videos. You inspired and guided me through the stages so well that I cannot explain. God bless and keep creating 🌸
@@gyzeliiart th-cam.com/video/vMQDYgVQNyQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a question I printing with ink and I saw some "bad" lines I little bit scared to fix or do semthing could you say is it really bad, I printed about 10papers colored .
Which sticker paper was better? The HTV or the OnlineLabel?
They're both good! I like HTV for sticker sheets and Online labels for die cut stickers 😊
How does cricut know to just cut the planets? Is there a step im missing? Do you not flatten the layers? Anyways great video!
There are 2 files you share to cricut design space. When you upload them into cricut design space, you select the option "print then cut" this tells cricut that you want the images to be printed and cut. In your canvas, once you align everything, you click "attach." This doen't flatten the layers. This just tells cricut that you want to keep the layout your currently have on your canvas. The cricut cuts around the planets and the whole sticker sheet but because it is set to a lighter cut pressure it doesn't cut through the whole sheet. That's why I use a paper cutter at the end. I hope this clears that up for you 😊
@@fructusillustrations ah ok. So with the background image you dont do print then cut. You just do print. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
I have followed your video step by step and for some reason my cricut isn’t cutting the individual stickers, it’s only cutting round the edges? Do you know why this is?
can't you select and expand to create the borders?
Mine only cuts the man outline so it doesn’t cut the actual stickers do you know how to fix that ( I am using cricut maker )
Thank you so much
how do you keep the images sharp when you're scaling or moving them around? My drawings always come out pixelated after moving them around so much.
So I always make the individual designs on a separate canvas and then import them into the canvas for the sheet. I only scale them down once and usually it doesn't get too pixelated. If I want to change the sizing, I'll reimport it. I also don't rotate anything because that also causing things to look blurry.
What material should I set for my cutting settings if I can't select washi tape - 0.06mm, because it says that this material is incompatible? 😅
You can also try using the sticky note setting! ♥
what if im not printing at home because i dont have a printer? if i send it for printing via printing shops do i still use the print and cut method?
I’m having the same issue 😅
Hi!!
I don't have pro create. How do I make the backing without this? 😊
Another other drawing or graphic design tool should work too. Something like Canva or photoshop. I've just used Procreate but I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to do the same thing :)
Every time I try to cut my sticker sheets, my Cricut does not apply the banner in with the borders of my stickers. Therefore it does not align after its been printed.
We "the many" are glad you finally posted it at 0:17 🤪😅. I have been wondering how to match the sticker outline seamlessly to the background, thank you for that tip 5:05. 💜💜
I just masterted kiss cut last 2 weeks, so glad for the small wins
That is the same thing I was wondering about matching the outline seamlessly to the background. How do you do it??
Hmm, cricut didn’t cut my stickers just the outline of the background. Not sure what I did wrong.
I had the exact same problem 🙃 not sure how to troubleshoot that at all as I followed all the steps🤷🏻♀️
