I have a Cricut air machine and love it because you don't have to remember pressure like with older machines! I also love making shirts and laptop vinyl, nice video!
There are different types of vinyl. I make stickers with vinyl and you can use any writing utensil. Not all vinyl is that semigloss vinyl that needs a sharpie. Also, the sticker is waterproof which helps protect the customers stickers from coffee spill or other accidents.
I have been doing stickers for three years and do blade setting 2, speed 5, and kiss cut on transparent sticker paper at 7, maybe 6 with a new blade. 23+ is what I would use for the die cut.
Hi Alicia: I'm not sure - but when I was at the Pinners conference th-cam.com/video/0DrKFe6PAIE/w-d-xo.html there were a ton of vendors that sold vinyl printable paper. Maybe if there is one coming to you, you could go there and purchase some different samples and test them out first. Good luck! XOXO Lisa
This video was so helpful! I already have a photo inkjet printer, but I do want to get a laser printer as well. Would you suggest getting a color laser printer or one that just prints in b&w? Would one be more cost efficient that the other? I know nothing about laser printers! Lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for this video!
Hi Stacey: You would 100% want a color laser printer. I see no reason to be stuck with a black & white one. You have no idea what you may want to do with it in the future. Plus, you can save $ by only printing in B&W if you really don't need the color. Just like inkjets, you need to buy color toners for your printer but the B&W toner can be purchased in bulk and is cheaper so that's why if I'm just printing something out for reference and don't need to see it in full color, I'll just print in B&W. Hope that helps! XOXO Lisa
Hi Gabrielle: I thought I'd see if anyone had any answers to share but it looks like that's a no. You can add your logo [which is what I assume you mean when you say "branding"] just like you would any other image to your sticker sheet. If you don't want your logo to be a kisscut sticker, simply don't outline it for cutting and it should be fine. Hope that helps. XOXO Lisa
I would love to use some chipboard type product to make my front and back cover. So couple of questions (and anyone can answer please) 1. Can I print a design on chipboard and do I need a special printer to do that with, and 2. where to buy said chipboard that is printable? Thanks!
Hi Michelline: You can do it!! Just start anywhere whether it's researching a collection of stickers you like on Pinterest boards, creating your branding, setting up your Etsy shop....we all have to start somewhere. When I first started this TH-cam channel I only had like 21 subscribers for the 1st year! But I kept going so just get started and don't quit! XOXO Lisa
Not sure if it has always been this way, but Etsy only allows 20 characters per tag. Meaning typing "planner stickers teachers" is not possible and reaching that audience is difficult :/ has Etsy always been this way?
I've sold 127 stickers so far on Etsy 😂 I got the silhouette cameo 3, the best thing ever!

Do you have course on making stickers?
I do have a question , and anyone can answer, but how is the best way to go about adding branding to sticker sheets in Silhouette Studio

1. Yes you can print on sticker paper and add it to chipboard.
2. Chipboard is too thick to feed through most home bass printers
Also, you don't need a special printer
