PicMonkey changed their policy not long after this video was created I created a video showing how to do this is inkscape completely free as well here th-cam.com/video/liK2Z54A_rU/w-d-xo.html
I don’t understand why cricut doesn’t just alter the software to allow us to print then cut full 12 inch x 12 page. For the amount of $ we fork out for the machines, it should be included. Print then cut was the main reason I purchased my cricut. And having to do the work around is such a pain in the neck. Hopefully it changes soon. ❤️🇦🇺
Does your printer print on 12 inch paper? Otherwise I agree, it should be able to print on 8.5x11. So much waste! I’m gonna try this trick to do printable htv!
I've been tearing my hair out all evening trying to find a way to print and cut on my 12x12 mats because Cricut will only let me print 2- 3.5 circles on1- 8.5 x11 mat! That is a huge waste of sticker paper! I agree with everyone who said that Cricut needs to step it up and update the software! Why only have a 12x12 mat to just cut instead of Print and Cut! Hacks are great but for the money we pay for the machine....this should be a piece of cake! Pardon my rant but I had to chime in.
Instead of painters tape I just used cardstock to make the frame! doesn't wreck the mat and still worked perfectly. I just leave the Frame on my mat now and use that mat specifically for this!
thanks for the hack. its crazy that we gotta do this. we should do petition to cricut to make it so we can print and cut full size paper. its ridiculous we gotta do this for a product that we fork out so much money for.
Thanks for sharing, your explanations are great! I have watched several other youtubers sharing this method too. I found yours the easiest for me to follow. One detail that was shared in another vid by Leigh Whitaker was instead of tape she used a piece of card stock instead so there was no concern of tape removing the adhesive...a good idea if all ones mats are newish.
I just want to say thank you so much for this tutorial. I just got into making my own stickers again, and previously I would cut them by hand (which is a huge pain and takes a long time). I have a friend who's letting me borrow their Cricut machine within the next few days. I have all the preparation ready and my stickers are printed as per your directions :) Thank you so much again!!! I can't wait for the results.
thank you so much!!! As a graphic designer I hate this feature about the cricut. I cant make full size printed envelopes or even a full sheet of business cards. Its such a waste of materials and actually the registration marks is how it was done back in the day when i had a silhouette machine. I dont know why i didnt think to try this. You are such a life saver. I really hate my cricut machine and thought about tossing it several times. I am going to try this today and see if i can get some sort of use out of it.
I was so confused at first but when I didn't see registration marks I figured out what you were doing and I'm so glad I stayed to watch the rest. This is an awesome trick
Omg this absolutely genius!!! I’ve been out off doing stickers as print n cut wastes sooo much sticker space, I ended up fussy cutting stickers just to get more value out of the sheets! Can’t wait to try this out tomorrow thank you!
It's a lovely method! And I'm glad to see that people have managed to make their projects work this way. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make it work despite attempting it for hours. It constantly seems to shift around a few millimetres despite using the tape and following each step as recommended. Has anyone else stumbled upon this issue or perhaps know what I might have done wrong? At this point I'm really just feeling like I've wasted my money on this machine. Thank you for the tutorial nonetheless! ^^
I'm so sorry you are having issues :( That makes me sad. I will say I did have to try a bunch of different methods to figure this out and not all of my attempts went great. I ended up having a lot of fails. I wonder if you could try calibrating your machine to get the blade realigned. That could be causing the issue if for some reason it is not aligned properly
I recalibrated and that helped somewhat! But I agree, mm off and it really affects the stickers. I wound up making the white sticker background larger so there would be more room for error.
@@areyoubeewhy2413 this might be a dumb question but does it line up when you use Cricut’s print then cut option? As in you can’t get another method, like this one to line up? Or ever?
This is great, I'm going to try doing this with the printable holographic sticker paper I got, but haven't used yet. I had tried to place a holographic overlay on top of my matte white vinyl, and my Cricut Explorer Air2 did read the registration marks, but then it cut it all funky. I thought I needed to do another calibration, but without the holographic overlay it cut just fine which was super weird. Thank you for this great video, I have an older Cricut mat I can use for this, and I already have Inkscape, so I can't wait to try this hack!
Brilliant. I've seen other people do this but it was more of a hassle. I use inkscape so this will be one more thing to know I can do. There is a less tacky painters tape. The yellow frog tape is one and does a great job with trim, if painting walls! Just keep it in the package between uses. Thank-you!
Going to see if i can do this with procreate using the same concepts. If not, i'll do it your way. But still, i've watched three 15 min vids, and yours was by far the simplest. The other key part of yours, you actualy freaking showed us the finished product and it worked. Every other one did a ton of extra things and the cuts didn't line up and they just didn't even show the finished product? So were just trying to trick the machine. Perfect. Thank you! Can't wait to try bc I'm sick of wasting paper!
Again! Such a great teacher. I followed along step by step and I DID IT!!!!! You made it seem so easy. The teaching style used was so easy to follow along. THANK YOU!
Lifesaver, I just bought my first cricut maker 3 for my labels was confused with the border and thought this is going to cost me alot of money and waste alot of paper, but now thanks to you I am going to cut more & save more , Super Thanks 😎

Those sticker are so cute!. My kids will love these if I makes some sticker for them.☺️Some for the school/teacher and my students. 👍I thinks it’s amazing video!. Thanks.
This was awesome! I think I actually understood it all! I'm going to do my project probably in a few days & I'll share it with you! Thanks again for everything you help us with!
I finally understand how to do this, after watching so many other videos that tried to explain it. It makes sense now. Thank you for this tutorial! I’m subscribing to your channel now, based on your awesomeness. Are you using an inkjet with your Neato sticker paper? I have Zicoto for now, but I worry about smudging with an inkjet.
Hey, thank you! I've had that issue for months where my Cricut refuses to stay calibrated for more than one sticker (not even one sheet, just one sticker on the sheet) and this is honestly a solid work-around for that issue too!
Awesome video, thank you for such an awesome breakdown! Do you have a video on how you can make your PNGs with the offset? I usually just do that in Design Space, but in order to use picmonkey I will need those elsewhere I know lol
Even with Cricut's new print and cut sizes, I still use this technique Corrine! Ever since you 1st published this. I use this for all my business needs. I can still make more business cards and labels. I used to use Inscape but now just use Photoshop.
@@A1KibaWolf I think you need to make sure your printer can print to the edges with no borders. Not all printers can do this. Check your settings. Mine is a laser printer (they don't have the feature).
Same here, did you ever figure it out? My cuts are always off with this method and the cut starts in an entirely different location when I attempt it a second time. I've run the same paper through 3 times and each time, the cut starts in a different location. Sometimes its off by a quarter inch sometimes half an inch. Its just random.
This is amazing!! Thank you so much. I'm from the UK and I've been puzzling over this thing for ages and wasting so much paper but this has allowed me to make bigger t shirt designs and waste less product. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I was getting so frustrated at the thought of wasting so much paper, thank goodness for google and TH-cam, and from the comments I am super glad I watched you first! I am new to Cricut and need all the help I can get. Subcribed, thank you!
I have watched so many videos on how to do print then cut and never been able to do it. Your video was so so good and so so easy to follow. Thank you 😊
This video was a life changer for me! I recently bought a sublimation printer and cricut makes things so damn impossible to print and cut! Thanks for sharing this. Your are a life saver!!! Liked and Subscribed!
This was such a simple idea that has solved such a large issue. Defo trying this, although, I may just use a sharpie to mark just the corners instead of tape.
Three words! Fab' Tab' YOUlous! I"m so making some modifications and trying this with mt Cricut Joy! For me the challenge is always figuring out exactly where to line my sheet up on the matte and I think your tutorial helped! Also, when tape is too sticky, I "clap" it to the back of my hand a few times... it takes the stickiness' down a notch! I'll let you know how this works on the JOy! ! ! !
@@CorinneBlackstone Great! I am sooooo dang close to a print n' cut hack... but even the tiniest bit off, kills it ! ! ! I'm soooo trying to figure out how to place my image on the matte ... I feel like 1 in 3 of my tests turn out perfect! Just gotta' figure out why?!
Another winner! I tried looking through all these comments to find the answer to this but didn't see it. Sooo, why can't we use DS to put the white boxes in the corner? Why does it have to be another program? I'm watching this video again so I apologize if you had this in the video. Blessings
design space doesn’t allow a print size larger than 6.75x9.25 on 8.5x11 paper so you can’t print a full page from design space. You can’t add the squares in design space because it’s important to have them perfectly lined up with your printed image. Design space is an awful program when printing due to several reasons. One being size requirements but also it does not give you the highest quality print possible either.
Thank you SO much. This is very helpful since I've been making new labels for damaged video games and wanted to minimize my paper waste, and it cuts back on wasted ink as well.
Love this tutorial!! Trying it out now but adjusting to A3 size ..🤞🏼hope it works!!! Quick question if you don't mind, why do we need all for square registration marks in the corners? Reason is I'm trying to get a boarderless print to cut out and I don't have much room in a couple corners. Thx in advance for anyone that can help!!
Okay this is the best video explanation ever I usually don't follow videos because there just confusing but this one is perfect thanks so much for this Your the best.... it worked perfectly
Thank you so much for the Cricut hack. I knew there was one and haven’t used cricut until I had all of the information I could muster. Thank you. You made the tutorial so clear and I wasn’t intimidated or overwhelmed.
This tutorial was perfect! My current Cricut is dying (original Explore - its her time lol) and I was toying with the idea of going to Silhouette just because of Cricuts print then cut restrictions. I will probably be sticking with Cricut now after using this video. Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing this information. I have been wanting to make stickers re entry and I have watched a ton of videos and none have shown this hack. You now have a new subbie!
Hi and thank you for this. I followed along step by step, but you have to have a subscription to be able to download your project. Or am I doing something wrong?
Hey Corrine. Is the die cut better than kuss cut stickers? Is there a way to leave a tab for peeling sticker? Could I use a holographic overlay on the stickers you created with this tutorial, if so what setting would you use? Hope Ai can follow along. Thank you!
@@Dee-nl2jk there is no better than one or the other it’s just choice. Here is a tutorial for easy peel stickers th-cam.com/video/dlYTdxwdAj8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yxdbwnsd5TI-pwmp You can use whatever materials you want to
I’m pretty new to Cricut. I watched 5 or 6 other tutorials that didn’t explain this 10% as well as you did. Thanks for the sanity saver. Also ordering some of your suggested sticker paper! Thanks thanks!
I love this tutorial as it's exactly what I needed to do. I am not wanting an offset on my stickers that I am making and every after calibrating, I am finding that the cut is shifted approx 2.5-3mm to the right. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this? Or Do I just have to keep adjusting where I place my sheet on the mat to accommodate?
It’s the joys of cricut. They have been having a lot of cut issues and it’s not as noticeable when it’s on vinyl but on print then cut it’s super obvious. You just have to try adjusting a little bit every time and try to keep your mat completely flat by putting a paper towel roll or a book under the front of it
@@CorinneBlackstone thanks for the response! Once we added more info images and printed them on the high gloss vinyl sticker paper it cut perfect. Just so you know this video was a massive help to me and my business, we’ve been cutting all out product labels by hand. This is going to save us tons of time and money. You’re doing the lord’s work lol.
This is great. While I hope Cricut fixes this issue, this is an amazing video. I am now printing from my favorite graphics program and using this hack to take advantage of all the available sticker paper and getting perfect cuts. Thank you so much and keep up the great work! Awesome job!
This is an excellent suggestion and video and I can't wait to try it! Would anyone be able to suggest a site other than PicMonkey, though? I made the free account but it appears they've made it so that you need a subscription to download your images. I tried PicsArt but I can't make the background transparent. Thanks for any suggestions!
Brillant hack, thx ….however I only have « white » painters tape, will the Cricut still be able to pick up the lines? If not what should I do, eg mark/paint the tape?
So this is awesome and I love how simple it is!! It worked the first time but I think I messed something up because now my images are printing at a very large scale as if I never resized to the 8.5"x11" and I have no idea how to fix it and I've wasted so much computer paper trying to get it to work the correct way! I have uninstalled it and the installed it again and it still is having issues. any ideas on how to get it to work or what I may have done?
@@CorinneBlackstone I'm still not sure what is wrong. The first set I did following your video has worked just fine. Now I have watched the video i don't know how many times, I can't seem to get my sticker images from PicMonkey to print normal sized on Inkscape. I have even reprinted the First set of stickers i made this way and they printed normal so I have no idea what i have done wrong but im lost :(
@@CorinneBlackstone my document is 8.5x11 inches, I just think its weird my first set (gnomes) turned out no matter what. I can even replace the image with all the same settings and it prints find, but the moment I add a new image i made in picmonkey it prints like 3x the size and I can't figure out why. I feel like somehow in downloading the images from picmonkey and importing it in inkscape something is happening but I can't figure out what :(
@@CorinneBlackstone I think i figured it out and for anyone else who may have this issue!! I messed around and when i click on print and the print window comes up before I clicked print i clicked on rendering and then clicked Bitmap (instead of Vector) and made sure the DPI is 300 this made it possible for my printer to print it as it is shown on the screen :) YAY!!!!!
Very nice solution. Since "print & cut" is not able to print at 300dpi we have to make our own way to correct what Cricut should give by default. Is it so difficult for Cricut to allow us to set the point (x,y) at which we place our sheet? Thank you very much.
@@CorinneBlackstone Feeback sent. I can tell you are a nice person for defining Design Space as "at this point it's still not great". I would define it with another, rather less kind word starting with "sh". Thank you very much for your advice.
this video is the most helpful! Thank you. Is there any explanation or help with the offset cutting? i have the registration marks in there and i made sure to print the same file and upload the same as well. thanks
Really helpful, thanks so much. I have a couple questions: 1. Is that paper really waterproof and scratch proof? I've seen many videos where they add lamination on top of the sticker sheets and I wondered if you have to do that with this paper? 2. Everything you did made sense to me except what is the purpose of the four tiny white squares in the corners and do they need to be a particular size?
This is amazing! Your videos for the process are easy to follow and for the first time in a long time I have enjoyed using my Cricut. Thank you for making my crafty time enjoyable this morning.
If im in U.K do I still select US Letter size? Or are you selecting that because that's the size of your print and cut paper? My print and cut paper is A4 size, should I select A4 or US Letter? Thanks x
Thank you so much! I hope to find more of your videos because you taught me the way I learn. Simple, you taught at the perfect speed, not too fast and not too slow, but with a ton of information!
which printer did you use to print the stickers ? i am using epson et 15000 and my color dont come as bright as what i am seeing in your videos. Do you have any videos for calibration or how to get color sorted
Really amazing video!! I have tried this method, and seem to have about a 10% success rate however... It seems that despite the grid, the cricut cuts mm to a side whenever it wants! I'm using the explore air 2 and have seen many people discuss calibrating it.. does this actually do anything if you're not using print then cut?
This tutorial is super in depth and I love it but day 2 and it's still cutting things out weird. some shapes will be nearly perfect on one side of the page while the shapes will be too far up/down/left/right. Any tips on this? I've wasted so much copy paper at this point and i'd like to waste much less
Since the update last week Cricut’s cuts have been weirdly off on everything I do. But it could also be your printer pulling the paper in a little off center
Ok, so I have an SVG file that I uploaded to design space, I then had to slice the image so I could separate the collage. Now how do I get cricut to let me print each image as an 8.5 x 11? Also does this process work with iron on sheets instead of sticker sheets? Thank you for this video, you did a great job with it. I tried to drag my svg file to the picmonkey screen and it won't accept it.
PicMonkey changed their policy not long after this video was created I created a video showing how to do this is inkscape completely free as well here th-cam.com/video/liK2Z54A_rU/w-d-xo.html
can you do this in procreate?
What brand sticker paper are you using.

And having to do the work around is such a pain in the neck. Hopefully it changes soon. ❤️🇦🇺

@@CorinneBlackstone Great! I am sooooo dang close to a print n' cut hack... but even the tiniest bit off, kills it ! ! ! I'm soooo trying to figure out how to place my image on the matte ... I feel like 1 in 3 of my tests turn out perfect! Just gotta' figure out why?!
Another winner! I tried looking through all these comments to find the answer to this but didn't see it. Sooo, why can't we use DS to put the white boxes in the corner? Why does it have to be another program? I'm watching this video again so I apologize if you had this in the video. Blessings
and why can't we print from DS instead of Inkscape? thanks so much
design space doesn’t allow a print size larger than 6.75x9.25 on 8.5x11 paper so you can’t print a full page from design space. You can’t add the squares in design space because it’s important to have them perfectly lined up with your printed image. Design space is an awful program when printing due to several reasons. One being size requirements but also it does not give you the highest quality print possible either.
Thank you SO much. This is very helpful since I've been making new labels for damaged video games and wanted to minimize my paper waste, and it cuts back on wasted ink as well.
Love this tutorial!! Trying it out now but adjusting to A3 size ..🤞🏼hope it works!!! Quick question if you don't mind, why do we need all for square registration marks in the corners? Reason is I'm trying to get a boarderless print to cut out and I don't have much room in a couple corners. Thx in advance for anyone that can help!!
Those little squares help the cricut line up everything. If you’re doing borderless it may be fine without it
The best tip ever! Thank you so so much.
This is a major GAME CHANGER!! Thank you so much. My cricut refuses to do print then cut anymore. This will for sure change that!!
Okay this is the best video explanation ever I usually don't follow videos because there just confusing but this one is perfect thanks so much for this
Your the best.... it worked perfectly
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I got it right the first time and was amazed!
You are genius !!!! 😍😍😍
Best "print then cut full page on Cricut" tutorial. Thank you!
I COULD CRY RIGHT NOW. I have been hunting for the perfect tutorialllllllll and this is ITTTT!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
This is a fantastic hack!!! Cant wait to try this tomorrow!!
Thank you so much for the Cricut hack. I knew there was one and haven’t used cricut until I had all of the information I could muster. Thank you. You made the tutorial so clear and I wasn’t intimidated or overwhelmed.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Do you still use this process in July 2023? Thank you!
I haven’t in awhile it still works though
Do you have a video showing how to print on a full 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper? I am so frustrated figuring this out.@@CorinneBlackstone
@@barbra429 that’s what this video is showing so I’m not sure what you are asking
Oops, sorry about that, I just got off a 1 hour 23 minutes phone call with Cricut, brain fog going on.
@@barbra429 lol not a problem. I know talking to them can turn your brain to absolute mush
What a brilliant hack. You explained it so well too. Thank you so much. 😀
This tutorial was perfect! My current Cricut is dying (original Explore - its her time lol) and I was toying with the idea of going to Silhouette just because of Cricuts print then cut restrictions. I will probably be sticking with Cricut now after using this video. Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing this information. I have been wanting to make stickers re entry and I have watched a ton of videos and none have shown this hack. You now have a new subbie!
Hi and thank you for this. I followed along step by step, but you have to have a subscription to be able to download your project. Or am I doing something wrong?
As noted in the pinned comment yes that changed after the video was made. You can watch the video on how to do it in inkscape instead
Hey Corrine. Is the die cut better than kuss cut stickers? Is there a way to leave a tab for peeling sticker? Could I use a holographic overlay on the stickers you created with this tutorial, if so what setting would you use? Hope Ai can follow along. Thank you!
@@Dee-nl2jk there is no better than one or the other it’s just choice.
Here is a tutorial for easy peel stickers th-cam.com/video/dlYTdxwdAj8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yxdbwnsd5TI-pwmp
You can use whatever materials you want to
This is so helpful! I've been going crazy trying to get the machine to line up on my envelopes. I think you might've saved Christmas for me 😂
Such a great video. Well explained.thank you for this
OMG! You're brilliant. Thanks so much for this. VERY helpful 💖💖💖
I’m pretty new to Cricut. I watched 5 or 6 other tutorials that didn’t explain this 10% as well as you did. Thanks for the sanity saver. Also ordering some of your suggested sticker paper! Thanks thanks!
What are your print settings? I’ve followed your directions, and I have the same printer as in the video, but cuts are still way off. Thanks!
I love this tutorial as it's exactly what I needed to do. I am not wanting an offset on my stickers that I am making and every after calibrating, I am finding that the cut is shifted approx 2.5-3mm to the right. Do you have any suggestions on how to correct this? Or Do I just have to keep adjusting where I place my sheet on the mat to accommodate?
You have to just keep adjusting your sheet. This hack sadly isn’t perfect since cricut isn’t perfect.
Great video. I end up getting a small white line on either side depending on how I move it to attribute for the white line. Any clue as to why?
It’s the joys of cricut. They have been having a lot of cut issues and it’s not as noticeable when it’s on vinyl but on print then cut it’s super obvious. You just have to try adjusting a little bit every time and try to keep your mat completely flat by putting a paper towel roll or a book under the front of it
@@CorinneBlackstone thanks for the response! Once we added more info images and printed them on the high gloss vinyl sticker paper it cut perfect. Just so you know this video was a massive help to me and my business, we’ve been cutting all out product labels by hand. This is going to save us tons of time and money. You’re doing the lord’s work lol.
I love your channel!!! it's helped me so much with my projects
This is great. While I hope Cricut fixes this issue, this is an amazing video. I am now printing from my favorite graphics program and using this hack to take advantage of all the available sticker paper and getting perfect cuts. Thank you so much and keep up the great work! Awesome job!
Thank you so much for sharing! I will definitely give this amazing hack a try and use for future sticker projects. You are a genius!
This is so brilliant!
This is an excellent suggestion and video and I can't wait to try it! Would anyone be able to suggest a site other than PicMonkey, though? I made the free account but it appears they've made it so that you need a subscription to download your images. I tried PicsArt but I can't make the background transparent. Thanks for any suggestions!
Here is how to do it without PicMonkey. They changed their policy just a couple days after I made the video th-cam.com/video/liK2Z54A_rU/w-d-xo.html
@@CorinneBlackstone Perfect! Thank you so much!
Brillant hack, thx ….however I only have « white » painters tape, will the Cricut still be able to pick up the lines? If not what should I do, eg mark/paint the tape?
Cricut does not pick up any lines with this hack. Any tape will work
Just ordered both clear and white sticker paper at a great price. Thank you for the first video I understood
Finally!!! Thank You SO Much for this!!!
So this is awesome and I love how simple it is!! It worked the first time but I think I messed something up because now my images are printing at a very large scale as if I never resized to the 8.5"x11" and I have no idea how to fix it and I've wasted so much computer paper trying to get it to work the correct way! I have uninstalled it and the installed it again and it still is having issues. any ideas on how to get it to work or what I may have done?
Make sure the paper size is correct on your printer and also check that it’s not scaling your image either all of that is under your printer settings
@@CorinneBlackstone I'm still not sure what is wrong. The first set I did following your video has worked just fine. Now I have watched the video i don't know how many times, I can't seem to get my sticker images from PicMonkey to print normal sized on Inkscape. I have even reprinted the First set of stickers i made this way and they printed normal so I have no idea what i have done wrong but im lost :(
@@chantelboyd3976 are you sure you document size is correct on inkscape?
@@CorinneBlackstone my document is 8.5x11 inches, I just think its weird my first set (gnomes) turned out no matter what. I can even replace the image with all the same settings and it prints find, but the moment I add a new image i made in picmonkey it prints like 3x the size and I can't figure out why. I feel like somehow in downloading the images from picmonkey and importing it in inkscape something is happening but I can't figure out what :(
@@CorinneBlackstone I think i figured it out and for anyone else who may have this issue!! I messed around and when i click on print and the print window comes up before I clicked print i clicked on rendering and then clicked Bitmap (instead of Vector) and made sure the DPI is 300 this made it possible for my printer to print it as it is shown on the screen :) YAY!!!!!
Thank you sooooo much❤❤ you save my life❤❤❤😊
Very nice solution.
Since "print & cut" is not able to print at 300dpi we have to make our own way to correct what Cricut should give by default.
Is it so difficult for Cricut to allow us to set the point (x,y) at which we place our sheet?
Thank you very much.
I wish cricut would get their print then cut to a better function but at this point it’s still not great
@@CorinneBlackstone Do you know if Cricut has a suggestion box to send you possible improvements?
@@jorgenavarro7928 you can send them feed back from the design space software under the three lines at the left side of the screen
@@CorinneBlackstone Feeback sent.
I can tell you are a nice person for defining Design Space as "at this point it's still not great".
I would define it with another, rather less kind word starting with "sh".
Thank you very much for your advice.
@@jorgenavarro7928 lol believe me I have said some rather unkind things about design space also including some choice four letter words 😉
this video is the most helpful! Thank you. Is there any explanation or help with the offset cutting? i have the registration marks in there and i made sure to print the same file and upload the same as well. thanks
Amazing! Can I use Canva instead to create the PDF? 🧐
You want a png not a pdf but yes
Really helpful, thanks so much. I have a couple questions: 1. Is that paper really waterproof and scratch proof? I've seen many videos where they add lamination on top of the sticker sheets and I wondered if you have to do that with this paper? 2. Everything you did made sense to me except what is the purpose of the four tiny white squares in the corners and do they need to be a particular size?
The squares are there to show cricut the edges of the paper the paper is waterproof but it could scratch. Yes you can put a laminate over them
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks very much for your feedback!
hi thanks for the tutorial! can i know the exact size of the bleed (tape)? thanks!
It’s 8.5x11
This is amazing! Your videos for the process are easy to follow and for the first time in a long time I have enjoyed using my Cricut. Thank you for making my crafty time enjoyable this morning.
This worked perfectly! Thank you so much!
If you warm up the whole thing before you peel the painters Tae I have a feeling it would negate the cutting mat peeling up when removing tape
OMG! thank you for sharing this I only found this a year later lol. But this trick works great.
Amazing! I can’t wait to try this. You explained everything very very well!
What brand sticker paper are you using?
If im in U.K do I still select US Letter size? Or are you selecting that because that's the size of your print and cut paper? My print and cut paper is A4 size, should I select A4 or US Letter? Thanks x
You’ll want to make it based on the size of your paper. In the us our paper is almost always 8.5x11
Thank you so much! I hope to find more of your videos because you taught me the way I learn. Simple, you taught at the perfect speed, not too fast and not too slow, but with a ton of information!
which printer did you use to print the stickers ? i am using epson et 15000 and my color dont come as bright as what i am seeing in your videos. Do you have any videos for calibration or how to get color sorted
You need to adjust your paper and printer settings I discuss the settings I use in most of my print then cut videos
Love this!!! Thank you for going step by step so much easier to understand.
Just had to say thank you SO much for making this video!! Super helpful, and a life saver!! ❤️
I always wondered about the painters tape and now it makes sense! Thank you so much!!!
This is so clever and useful! THANK YOU!
Really amazing video!! I have tried this method, and seem to have about a 10% success rate however... It seems that despite the grid, the cricut cuts mm to a side whenever it wants! I'm using the explore air 2 and have seen many people discuss calibrating it.. does this actually do anything if you're not using print then cut?
No calibration is only good for print then cut, the knife blade or the rotary blade
@@CorinneBlackstone darn!! I'll have to keep at it. Definitely the only way to get good cuts on glossy material!
This tutorial is super in depth and I love it but day 2 and it's still cutting things out weird. some shapes will be nearly perfect on one side of the page while the shapes will be too far up/down/left/right. Any tips on this? I've wasted so much copy paper at this point and i'd like to waste much less
Since the update last week Cricut’s cuts have been weirdly off on everything I do. But it could also be your printer pulling the paper in a little off center
Ok, so I have an SVG file that I uploaded to design space, I then had to slice the image so I could separate the collage. Now how do I get cricut to let me print each image as an 8.5 x 11? Also does this process work with iron on sheets instead of sticker sheets? Thank you for this video, you did a great job with it.
I tried to drag my svg file to the picmonkey screen and it won't accept it.
This is awesome for my scrapbooking! I just got a maker. So excited
What’s size in this area of the board, can you give me some infor about it please? Cause my cricut always cut wrong my print 😢
