Oh this is the best tutorial on anything I think I've ever seen lately!
This was such a clear explanation and you did it so well! Thank you!
This video was very straight forward. Great video! Thank you so much for sharing.
As an new sticker designer, thank you for your descriptive explanation.
Excellent tutorial! I didn't even know about the nest option until I saw this tutorial. Very clear and concise. The cutting of the backing prior to packing is a great tip also.
This was a FANTASTIC video. I struggled with the other videos I watched on the same topic. Thank you so much!
Thank you. This so much better than the Silhouette documentation
I received a SC4 for the Holidays and I'm so excited to start making my designs into stickers!! You've made it incredibly easy to follow and understand. I'm even MORE excited now!! Thank you!!
So happy to help - enjoy your crafting!!
Wow.. I've watched many videos on how to make stickers using print and cut... this one is the MOST simple and does not intimidate me at all. Gonna try it asap. ❤ thank you.
Great video - after watching hours of videos yours was the FIRST to show the SLICE tool - buying one now.
ive watching many videos abput silhuettecameo4 and this is the best so far!
I just unboxed my silhouette Cameo 4 and used your cut setting and it was perfect. Thank you so much for clear instructions. I was so frustrated with my cricut maker and the cut settings and print and cut calibration. I had to recalibrate constantly. I'm so excited about the silhouette.
Thank you for this tutorial! My 11 year old is an artist and wants to start a sticker biz. This is exactly what we needed to know to help support him in his endeavors.
Your voice is made for this, a very easy to follow tutorial.
What a superb walkthrough. Thank you!
FINALLY! after a week of searching for the right video, I feel confident to move forward using my portrait 3! Thank you for the clear and straight to the point tutorial. I would love to see a video on how you save your designs to accommodate both png's and svg's...including sizing and such:) please.
You got another subscriber today!! Thank you for an accurate and easy to follow tutorial.
Wow, those are amazing! And this videos was so well done! Kudos!
I got my silhouette about a year ago but was way too intimidated to use it. And today I used it for the first time and made stickers that I'm really happy with, so thank you!!
Great to hear! So happy to help, let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks. Good info, now i can setup my cameo setting to print the stickers..
This was so helpful, thanks!
Amazing tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
Great video!! Thank you
Thank you!
excellent video..new Cameo owner right here so i'm trying to figure this machine out!!
Very helpful video!
Your tutorial is amazing and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed to your channel
I have Cameo 4 and I never new it has printing function! Guess, every day is a new lesson ;)
The Cameo 4 does not have a printing function.
You will need to have a printer either connected to your computer or you will need a networked printer to use, the Silhouette Cameo does not do the actual printing. Your printer will print off a sheet with your printable file and some registration marks. Notice that the gray hatch marks are not printed.
@@onehunderdfold Thank you very much for your answer. I used a separate printer, nd after printing my design out I used the plotter to cut it out ;)
Great video!
Thanks!
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
My son is asking me to make stickers for a video game club he has. Now I think I can do it!
This is so helpful. I like the laminating part and had to order the laminating film even though I have the laminating paper...can I cut laminating paper the size of the paper within the registration mark, laminate and still get the same result? I am so excited to use...Great video
Hello this it helped me a lot for understanding how to use this cameo 4 but sometimes i don't understand how to do correct.
Thank you so much for this video! I have the 3 and couldn't find a simple explanation on sticker cutting.
Happy to share the knowledge!
thank you for the tutoial! May I know the cutting settings of this (force and speed)?
I’m having the worst tine getting my HP Envy to print the correct colors - especially teal and purple…any suggestions for print settings ? I use a MAC if that matters…otherwise I”m ready to throw the printer out the window. Uugh….great video by the way - learned a lot !
Really new to all this. What did you print with? Does the software link to whichever pronter your computer is linked to? If so which printer is recommended? Budget friendly but still quality?
Great video thank you can you tell me which printer you use. I would also like to create some designs for my mountain bike which uses a protective film do you know if this cutter would be able to cook that material
Thanks! The printer is the HP Envy 6055 (amzn.to/3CCqnnI). I haven't used a film like that before, but the Cameo would definitely be able to cut it! You would have to test out the right cut settings, but I would think it would be similar to a thinner vinyl.
What a great video! Thank you!! Where did you find the Slice tool?
Thank you! I got it from amazon: amzn.to/3peTZze
Hello! I’m new at sticker making and I wanted to know what the aura guard is, and how it works.
Your video was so helpful!! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you! Oraguard is a type of adhesive laminate, which is used to add an extra layer of durability and thickness to the stickers. I like to use a matte finish, but there are also gloss versions as well. I have tried a variety of other laminates, and have found that Oraguard 215 to be the best quality!
@@FreestyleTravelShop thank you ! ☺️
Thanks for the great video! Are you able to do this straight on sticker paper rather than printing then laminating?
You can cut pretty much any material on the Cameo4, but it does not print - that has to happen externally
thanks for your video but i do have a question when i do cut edge the cameo still cuts everything inside my border its there any way to fix this?
Great video! thank you. What kind of printer do you use to print the stickers with? And also are these water proof to use on a car or not really?
Thanks! I use the HP Envy 6055 printer - amzn.to/3CCqnnI
When using the Oraguard laminate, they are durable against an occasional splash, but not recommended for outdoor use.
This video tutorial you will learn which of the Top 3 Electronic Die-Cutting Machines is the Quietest! Between the Cricut Maker vs. Silhouette Cameo 4 or Brother Scan N Cut.

how did you get the back ground border off of your sticker design? mine, have all the extra paper space and i cant fit more then a few of my designs onto the cutting paper.
Does the silhouette print the stickers with color as well ?
I haven't tried it yet but I subscribed and liked it, lol. I'll give you feedback when I try it in a couple of weeks. Question, which paper did you use?
Best of luck! I use the weatherproof sticker paper from online labels: amzn.to/2N4pgI3
Did you have to change pens to get the different colors? I just don’t know how the printing works for printing of different colors
I don't have silhouette pro can i use gimp?
great tutorial ! what kind of printer did you use? many years ago, i had an epson wide format, and i was able to get an aftermarket refillable ink reservoir, does such thing still exist these days? thanks
I use the HP Envy 6055e printer, which I have been using for my business for years - highly recommend especially with the HP Instant Ink service.
Hai from malaysia...can u show the setting for registration mark...
Ho I I’m looking for advice, when I cut my stickers with a border, my cameo doesn’t seem to register as in the white cut border isn’t even all round, it’s as tho the registration is out, please help
Hi I have a question about using the slice! When you use it does it kind of appear in the front that there is a line/cut but it's not actually cut?? I bought one after watching this and I feel like it looks like I cut through but then again i'm not sure if it's just an indent or actually cut through lol.
It comes down to the pressure that you're using - it takes some practice to get the hang of it! But use a lot less than what you think you need
Thank you for your expertise! Would these be considered vinyl stickers?
Yes they are!
How do I explain to my boyfriend who just upgraded my cricut that I instead need a cameo 😂
Just say, “no calibration needed”
Compare it to something he's really into an puts money into that you don't quite understand why. You have to have the right tool for the job or the job while it can still be done takes way to much work/effort to complete. But, if you had a cameo it could get done in a fraction of the time and effort. Saving you stress, exhaustion, as well as physical pain from the un-needed amount of work from using the wrong tool.
Tell him people hype it like iPhones when in reality the galaxy is better but instead it’s cutting machines.
@@victoriavillarreal282 my cricut cuts great with less messing and so many materials - almost always fist time on the default setting! Both brands have positives and negatives.
You don’t need to! I can produce so quickly on a cricut and the cut settings are great! Also the print then cut area has now been enlarged
Why do you use the Oraguard, is it for waterproofing? I've recently watched a few youtubers with sticker businesses explain their process and your's is the first I've seen using a laminate to go over the stickers.
If you make stickers at home, they will never be 100% waterproof (because of inkjet or laser printers), but adding a laminate can help against little splashes here and there. It also can prevent ink scratches and increases durability. I also like that it gives a nice, thicker finish and makes it a more quality sticker!
Thank you for the help with this. One question, how do you add multiple designs to one file. It always seems to crash my software or not work at all if I try to add more than one design to a sticker sheet
Oooohh I just learnt this! For the first file, use 'Open'. For every file that you want to add after that, use 'Merge'. Hope that helps. 😍
Hello, Thanks for the guide. I already have the design for the stickers along with the borders done through Canva in an a4 format, the a4 sheet has around 12-15 stickers per page, so if i were to cut these stickers through cameo 4, do i have to re-edit by designing the stickers in the cameo app as you have done above in 1:10 in the video above or can i directly print the page that i have and give a command to cut? Sorry if my question seems very stupid, just wanted to know how things really work . Thank you once again ! 🙂
No worries! If you have the borders already added in your sticker, then cut along that border. I didn't have the borders included in my png files so I had to add it in Silhouette Studio.
This is so helpful. Where can I find the nesting panel?
The nesting tool is only available on the upgraded versions of the Design Studio (so you may not have it). If you do, it would be on the right side and looks like two hands locked together
I make stickers for myself but I want to make some for the non-profit organization I manage and want them to be more durable. How well do those hold up with the laminating film on top? Are they fairly water resistant?
They are pretty durable, however if they are exposed to water the ink could run. I don't recommend putting them outside or on cars. The only way they can be fully waterproof is if you are using an industrial UV printer (or getting them from a business that does).
i prefer having excess paper so it is easier to remove the sticker. than manually slicing each sticker. what if you have 1000 stickers, i cant just manually slice 1000 stickers. i think you can adjust the amount of cut by the machine so it doesn't fully cut everything off.
What printer are you using to actual print your stickers? I have a a nice epson photoprinter is that sufficient? Also is there any issue with fading? is it better to go laser printing for black and white prints?
I use the HP Envy 6055 printer, and its the only one I have ever used! (amzn.to/3CCqnnI) You don't need anything fancy or expensive, as long as you are using the best print quality. I haven't seen any issues with fading unless you keep the sticker in full sunlight every day. I don't have a ton of experience with laser printing, but I know that I can still get bold and crisp prints with inkjet!
What type of printer do you use
New here to all this cutting machine stuff, but can you print off the cameo? Did you print your stickers off a printer first and then inserted to cameo for cut?
The cameo (and other cutting machines like cricut) does not print - just a big fancy cutter. You will need to print anything separately
Can anyone please recommend the best source in CANADA for waterproof vinyl sticker paper? It's SO much more costly up here :( Thanks!
Do you like the printer that you use? Would you recommend an inkjet or a laser printer? Thank you!
I love it! Inkjet is the best way to go because the ink is less expensive than laser toner, but you can still get great quality! I actually just uploaded this video about my printer: th-cam.com/video/uia7nM13xzw/w-d-xo.html
Hello! I’m having a hard time having a perfect border. My stickers borders are always off.
Silly question. Do you have to use that Oraguard material?
No, you do not have to! The sticker can be complete without it, I just use it because it adds a nice thick durability to it.
New subscriber here! I have a dumb question. What are the benefits of printing on sticker paper and laminating VS printing on just vinyl printable paper? Also, can you print on vinyl printable paper on the HP 6055? I'm so confused lol Really appreciate it!g
Not a dumb question! In theory, the vinyl is a much more durable option as opposed to sticker paper, and better for outdoor use. However, if you are making stickers from home, most of the time people are using inkjet or laser printers. This ink is not waterproof, so adding lamination on top of the ink gives a more durable sticker - but still not totally waterproof. If you were to print on the vinyl, the ink still can smear. The printable vinyl is the way to go for commercial UV printers, but not really worth it for home use. After testing various vinyls, sticker papers, and lamination, I have come to the conclusion that the weatherproof sticker paper from Online Labels and Oraguard 215 laminate create the best sticker that you can make from non-commercial grade materials (at least in my opinion). Hope this helps!
@@FreestyleTravelShop Thank you so much for answering my questions! Because of your video, I ended up getting the HP 6055 and absolutely love it. Thank you again!
Okay I’m new to making stickers and the Oraguard 215 Overlaminate you buy is there any other brand you suggested? Oraguard wants me to make an account to buy products. And I don’t have a Business so I can’t complete the form they are asking. If you have any suggestions that would be much appreciated, thank you.
No worries! I recommend getting the 8.5"x11" sheets from Creative Craft Vinyl - creativecraftvinyl.com/shop/printable-vinyl/oracal-uv-laminating-film-oraguard-215/
I’m new so here’s my stupid question.
Where is the color coming from? Does the silhouette machine take ink?
It is difficult for me to print and then cut to the same dimensions. I have tried several times, each time the place of cutting is different from the place of the image or on the borders of the image
I have all the same materials that you are using in this video, went to cut the project after printing. Luckily, I did the test cut first, BUT it cut the test square through my cutting mat. =( I have my paper aligned exactly where you said/showed. Any thoughts?
Are you using the auto blade or an adjustable blade? If you're using an adjustable blade (or premium), you would have to manually adjust the cut depth on the blade itself - if you didn't, it could definitely cut through your mat.
What settings do you use to cut? Ours was cutting ok with a force of 33 and blade of 5 with the auto blade but now does not cut all the way through the laminate and vinyl. Any recommendations?
You probably need a new blade by now.
I had a Cricut, i wanted it mainly for stickers, the print and cut was absolutely awful. I'm looking at getting a silhouette cameo 4, would you recommend it?
Absolutely! I had the Cricut Maker first and switched to the Cameo. Since then, I have not had to calibrate once (I don't think they event have a calibrate feature) and all cuts have come out perfect. The only thing is that the Silhouette Design Studio software has a decent learning curve, but once you get the hang of it makes so much sense!
What printer are you using to make your stickers? Do you have recommendations for a decent printer?
I use the HP Envy 6055 - I've been using it for years and love it! amzn.to/3CCqnnI
So are you using a printer to print the stickers and then putting them on a sticker sheet an letting the cameo cut them??? Pls rspd
I print the stickers (using a regular printer) onto a sticker sheet (regular paper with peel off backing) and then put it on the cutting mat and use the cameo to cut. The cameo (and all other cutting machines) do not print.
How do you print your blacks so deep? I have the same printer, black comes out gray
When printing, make sure that it's in best quality color mode. You may have to change this in printing settings or manually every time you print
Hi what printer best for stickers
I use the Hp Envy 6055 printer and I love it! amzn.to/3CCqnnI
I need help!!! My cameo will not cut right even when i calibrate it 😭
Is silhouette cameo 4 in 12 inch the one you’re using? I’m so confused, they have 12, 15, 24 inch size differences, is 12 inch enough for sticker making business? Thank you ❤
I just have the base level machine which is the 12" and is perfectly suitable for all of my sticker needs! Most people that have the larger units are using it for vinyl signs where they would need a large surface area.
Is this just available if you have cameo? I’m using silhouette portrait and couldn’t find the nest icon. Thanks.
The nesting tool is only available if you purchase the business edition of silhouette studio - it can work for any machine! It's a one time purchase of $89
What about sticker sheets?
My question- am I correct that you don’t need a printer if you have the Cameo?? Everything I’ve seen so far you have to design it on your computer then send it to your printer then put it through your cutter, you don’t need to do that with the cameo am I understanding that correctly?
The cameo only cuts, you will need a separate printer
when i group it cuts out the border as well
Hello, Would you be able to help me please?
I have the Silhouette Cameo 4 Plus and am trying to print and cut my Honey Labels but my prints from Silhouette Studio are blurry. Like very blurry that you can't even read the labels.
I designed the labels in Inkscape (SVG) and initially was exporting those into Silhouette Studio as a PNG from 250dpi to 320dpi quality, but everything prints blurry.
I then bought the Business Edition of Silhouette Studio thinking that being able to import SVG would answer my prayers, however they're still printing the same. I even designed a mock up label in Silhouette Studio and it is also printing very blurry. I have tried all of the dpi settings within the Silhouette Studio software and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The only thing that might help is downloading a previous version of Design Studio - at least 3-4 versions back. Do all of your work in the new version, save, and then open the same file in the older version and print. For some reason, this fixes a lot of odd problems - it might fix yours!
Hello !!
Kindly reply
Can I use an auto blade for this?
Yes!
I have a brother printer. Does it matter what kind of printer you use?
Not at all - all that matters is the material you’re printing on!
Ok. Your cut setting formula worked once perfectly for me and then the same cut formula did not work again with the same materials. I layer printable vinyl with a sheet of self adhesive laminate over it, run through a cold laminator machine, so perfectly adhered. Your cut formula worked great the first time then would not cut all the way through. I tried the autoblade and the manual one mil set to 10 on each with your setting as dictated in the video. Do you have any suggestions? I even tried 3 passes and it still didn’t cut through all the way. This is driving me insane. I had calibration problems with the Cricut so I switched to Silhouette. I’m about to cry because I feel so frustrated. Lol. Also, my machine sounds like it’s trying to communicate with the mother ship while it cuts - is that normal? 👀
As far as the sounds it makes, yeah, sounds like the son of R2D2--and all my searches have shown this to be the norm.
To be clear... the silhouette printed this right? It didn't show that part ... its implied (went from the program, then next shot was a printed page (time 4.31)) but the silhouette printed that sheet before it was cut right?
Unfortunately the silhouette does not print it - it prints from your separate inkjet or laser printer. But you don’t have to do anything different than hitting print!
What setting you use in cameo?
In the video description, I have included a link that has a list of all the cut settings I use!
We’re do you buy the The Slice Tool?
Amazon! amzn.to/3peTZze
what printer you use or u can use any printer
I have the HP Envy 6055 printer, but as long as you can get good quality you can use any printer
Great video. Going to give this a try with some new images I made with AI
How did you design the stickers ?
On procreate for iPad!
so weird I try to do a test cut and I only had photo paper, and it slides around and out. It's almost completely messed up at this point.. I don't know what I'm missing honestly. EDIT: because you need to remove the blue protective layer from the mat as it supposed to be sticky. They didn't tell me this anywhere lol.
Hello, how did you print all of the colors for this decal and with what print and on what material?
You only showed how you cut them out.
This was printed from my printer - these cutting machines do not print
@@FreestyleTravelShop, what kind of printer is that?
It’s the HP Envy 6055 - linked in the materials in the description!
Curious on which designer license you got if you don’t mind sharing that info
I think I upgraded to the business version? I wanted the version that had the nesting tool and a few other features
@@FreestyleTravelShop thank you! It was definitely worth the upgrade for the best feature!
will this paper work if i apply it to my car will it fade outiside or peel
The ink may bleed
How can i make sticker packs instead of this ?
