Mine doesn’t do outline stroke, I went to appearance but when i did offset path it turned it black and didn’t do my whole image that I want. Can you please help TIA
Hi. How do you smooth out/clean your cut path around the letters at the bottom? It’s so perfect. I use the curvature tool and move points 1 by 1 and it’s not exact.
After spending $500 with signarama and they returned 500 completely different cut stickers,,, time to take matters into my own hands,, this is brilliant.
Hi. What am I doing wrong? I click on Outline and the entire png disappears. Does it need to be a different format? When I did get it to do the outline somehow, it was really jagged with a ton of points on it instead of a nice smooth line. How do I fix this?
I used this tutorial a while ago and it worked perfectly for me but now when I try it the "Unite" does not work for me when I use it the second time after setting the offset path. Any idea why? I follow each step exactly as in the video
What if I wanted to make one vector with cut lines, save as eps file, to later print stickers in several different sizes from said file? How do I keep the offset from changing as I increase or decrease artwork size? Because if I change from a 3 inch sticker to a 5 inch sticker my offset also increases. Or do you suggest making a separate file for each sticker size?? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I'm not able to smooth out the line at the end. If I delete the anchor points, it leaves open spaces in those places. Selecting one point and hitting delete, deletes the whole outline.
hello, your video is very helpful for me. but im wondering can you do the offset path inside the sticker (not outside like shown in the video)? may i know how to do it? thank you very much in advance 😄
This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I had another question, What if I wanted to add a cut out to an image? Would I make a separate cut line layer and then merge the two or keep them separate?
I'm working with a png image and text. For some reason the png unselects itself when i click on the 'unite' option, only influencing the text. I did the whole image trace thing, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. ...... Help?
Hi, I want to do the cut line to a word bc it's a sticker but I can't , please help. It won't let me use Image trace and when I outline it get whites and I can't use it
For this tutorial, you should only be using image trace to get the shape of the design. Make sure you switch the result to a stroke with no fill and still have your original raster image below.

Hi, i'm able to image trace and expand, but when i click on unite the whole layer just turns white. How can i solve this?
There is likely a background object that you need to delete first.
Very useful and easy. Thank you
Gooooooood
hello, your video is very helpful for me. but im wondering can you do the offset path inside the sticker (not outside like shown in the video)? may i know how to do it? thank you very much in advance 😄
Set the offset to a negative amount 😀
THANK U IT WORKED! :]]]
This is the best video I have seen on this topic.
I had another question, What if I wanted to add a cut out to an image?
Would I make a separate cut line layer and then merge the two or keep them separate?
Good question! You could keep them both on the same cut line layer, but no need to merge the objects
EXCELLENT tutorial! :)
Fantastic content!
Thank you for the tutorial
How to save these as pdf file
Great! Thanks a lot!👏
What is the different create path-> outline and expand?
They do the same thing, but "create outlines" is specifically for text.

A secret one that we keep in our secret lab
Super helpful! Thank you 😊

Did you expand and delete the background after using Image Trace?
@@Stickermule Omg, I'm dumb, completely disregarded those steps xD I got it now, thank you!

After I finish all the steps how do i resize the sticker?
You can select all and resize while holding shift to retain the proportions
Thank you so so so muchhhhhh!!

Hello, do you do 1:1?
Very useful!
Thank you.
Thanks alot
Thanks for the video and the fact that it's straight to the point. But I have an issue. How do you get the color back after the image tracing?
For this tutorial, you should only be using image trace to get the shape of the design. Make sure you switch the result to a stroke with no fill and still have your original raster image below.
Thank you!
How did you clean up the bottom line to make it all straight?
Make a separate object with the Pen tool or Rectangle tool and then merge it (from the Pathfinder window) with your main cut line.
Sticker Mule i tried that and nothing happend. :-(
Says the filter produced no results. Please select two or more filled and overlapping paths.
@@sassy01ss make sure you have the rectangle and the new shape both selected. Hopefully that works 🤞
@@Stickermule I tried this error same, use pathfinder and united shapes, this puts the 2 outlines together, i had to select both lines.
can you make a colored cut line?
If you wanted color on the edge of your sticker, you could make a separate stroke beneath the cut line, then increase the weight and change the color.
Other than that, the color of the cut line doesn't matter.
