- wahoo!! i hope y'all enjoy this video - i'm very proud of it and i hope it helps y'all out in some way or another!!
*note: if you do indeed cut out your stickers yourself using a silhouette or cricut program, this is a great method for laying out the sticker sheets before bringing it in to that software. illustrator is ur friend !!!
i used to print and cut all my stickers for my sticker shop at home, using 3 silhouette portrait machines, but my shop started growing in a way that i could no longer keep up with by making everything by hand at home. so! i started outsourcing my sticker production this time last year - through a lot of trial and error, this is the process i've landed on for formatting my sticker sheets to send off to said printing companies so they turn out spiffy and lovely!
✧˖° here are the timestamps for all the instruction panels, in case you want a quick breakdown of each step of the process:
• 8:05 - how to add a white fill layer behind your stickers
• 9:57 - how to copy designs from photoshop to illustrator
• 12:35 - how to prepare your file for cutlines // i recently learned that you can hit command + shift + v to place the second layer exactly over the first!! i told you i am very much an illustrator novice
• 15:39 - how to make cutlines in illustrator
• 22:05 - how to add embellishments

i LOVE bernadette banner my recommended videos are literally filled with her... i could watch her fell stitches for hours. her voice is so fun
unanys joe I’ve recently started watching her and EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS SO TRUE
Omg me too! I love her ❤️
I saw your video for the first time several month ago. The mood in the video and color were all my favorites. These days, if i feel depressed or anxious, come and find your video. Your video makes me happy. My English is terrible because I am Korean. But I hope that my message will be conveyed. I love u!🖤
Noooo sweetheart, your English is just fine. Bless your heart. ❤️

When you're selecting your images at 6:31, there's an easier way to do this. Hold ctrl+click the tiny thumbnail of your layer in the layers tab and it'll select everything on that layer. That way you can fill with white easier and you won't need to tediously magic wand everything.
i understand nothing about, well... anything you just said, but i always watch your videos anyway because they're so calming and aesthetic and beautiful!!! thank you for your amazing content!
Omg this whole time I’ve been driving myself mad because of the outlines of my images... I’ve always thought to myself that I want my lines to be sharp and crisp! So just then I’ve just learnt how to sharpen my image and thought I was doing fine... until I saw your video I was like wth lmao my whole issue was worrying about the textures of my stickers when I could’ve just created a cut line for all my designs and that would’ve made my life soooo much easier like.....5 months ago!? You’re a life saver Cheyenne AND Jordan, i love both your designs and tutorials seriously! Life saver!
I love your style of filming💖 it’s so calming and peaceful💖 your such an inspiration to me💖
I've learned to not take my sticker collection for granted.
Wow, I watched this video so I can learn how to do some stickers and I finished crying because you are so cute. Literally, I love you work so much that makes me wanna be more like you. Please don't stop fighting, you're amazing.
Cheyenne: shop update is on November 10th!!!
Editing Cheyenne: I cannot emphasise enough how wrong you are
I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I was so overwhelmed trying to make my first sticker sheet, all while being fairly new to Illustrator myself, and I couldn’t find the answers I needed anywhere. Everything I found explained it in ways that were over my head, including several Skillshare videos that weren’t answering my specific questions. Googling was turning up nothing, mainly because I didn’t even know what terms I needed to search. I was at the end of my patience and thinking of just forgoing sticker sheets for now, when I somehow luckily stumbled upon your video. It addresses every single question I had, and even explains some things I didn’t know I needed to know. It also pointed me in the right direction to have them printed, as I didn’t realise StickerApp (who I use for most single stickers) required additional bleed even on transparent designs, which really would have thrown off my entire sheet. Thank you so much for saving my inept butt. I’ve been binging your videos ever since. Hope you don’t stop creating them anytime soon, they’re of breath of fresh air. 💜🌿
It’s so nice to see a video and artwork that seems to have so much joy behind its creation-I’m so thankful you shared this
omg the things you are saying are totally making sense. i'm making stickers for the first time and this was sooooo helpful. thank you i love your work :)
Hi Cheyenne, this was a great overview of how you create your sticker sheets. I'm a graphic designer, so I understood everything you said. I'm glad you're feeling better. Keep up the great work!
I just love the way she gets excited, it makes me feel excited too.❤️
BIG INFORMATION HELP! Thank you, sorry I yelled. I learned so much; from the boo boo lasso in the beginning, to the words of you saying you take a long time arranging and cleaning up your stickers (because I thought I was doing something wrong when I took too long doing mine), you are so much help. I wish you an abundance of sales for sharing your knowledge.
It's always a good day when you post a video. Thank you for cheering up my week with your wonderful voice and brilliant aesthetic. Enjoy your tea!
Bernadette Banner is awesome! A while back, I got super interested in fashion and found her. I binged all of her videos and still can’t get enough.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Hoping to get into making stickers sometime soon.
The Silhouette Cameo changed my life. It changed my sticker game dramatically. No more messing around with backgrounds and cut lines. Hallelujah!
watching you fix the anchor points of ur cutlines is so extremely satisfying.. love seeing all the hard work you put into it!! super satisfying and love seeing the process✨
I think you're definitely my comfort youtuber 🥺 all your videos are so helpful and idk it makes me feel calmer and less overwhelmed about figuring out how to do confusing art shop things ✨
wow, watching this went by fast. (didn't notice it was 28 minutes)
thank you for sharing your process, chey. i learned so much today! ♥
also: the miter limit at 15:10 is for how much the lines can extend past the original ones. this one is useful for stickers that are pointy, and if you set *joins* as Miter. if you increase this, it allows your stickers to be pointy instead of having chopped off corners. just in case you or someone might need them in the future. ^^
God this is the cutest intro, house decor, editing and person. Thank you for helping me open an Etsy shop now that I know how to make my stickers!
I actually gasped at 19:04 because we have the same background. Cute stickers! Thanks for showing the process. Even more appreciative now that we see all the little nit gritty parts you have to do.
This video is crazily informative and you're a really fun teacher :) Thanks for sharing your process, it's amazing how many steps and how much time goes into making stickers but the finished product looks SO great! YOU are brilliant, and I hope you're enjoying your January off
I’m so glad that you’re doing better! & I’m glad that you’re doing well & back! I love watching your videos & seeing your illustrations!
You are so genuine. I have not been feeling well,the last few days and your video inspired me to keep going. Thank you for sharing this video🙏🏼
this video was so professionally edited and just so impressive to me as a fan of you and your business journey! it is so very kind and generous to spill some of your magical art wizardry tips with us!
Your videos are so calming and creative. I love your style and how hard working you are, you inspire my creative side. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
it's so calming and peacefull
I find ur videos very relaxing. I always get excited when u post
Over all I love the color and the way you talk, great opening so inspiring me. thanks
It's been a bit since I used illustrator, but I'm pretty sure if you hold shift when pasting it will paste directly on top of what you copied that way you don't have to realign.
Hi Cheyenne, happy to hear you're doing better!
I hope you find a way to take things easy while getting back to it all, and sending love and light your way! Literally watched this even though I don't even have the slightest idea of how to use any of the software just because I enjoy your videos so much hahah, they always calm me down and leave me feeling inspired! ✨
(btw I wanted to thank you for an order I placed one or two months ago!! Couldn't reach out to you to thank you because I decided to delete instagram butttt thank you very much 💛)
Anyway, I'm very happy you're doing better, best of luck in everything coming your way!
again, I know this is an old vlog. but a tip for making your cutlines. after you have that image trace and expand it and make all the round corners, you can set it up as a stroke - then send it to the back of your drawing and increase the stroke until you get the size you want. after that go to object + expand and then delete what you are not gonna use with the white arrow selection tool. (not sure if I'm explaining this correctly sorry)
Thank you soo much for taking the time to film this! It seriously helped me out so much!! I watched a bunch of videos before yours and wasn't figuring out how to create those die lines with just an illustration thats not vectorized! tyty
Yay for feeling better! I absolutely love your stickers and art! Thank you for making such lovely videos! I'm looking forward to your updates. Holiday gift order... coming your way!
Hi Cheyenne! I absolutely love your videos they have brought me peace during a time when I’ve been grappling with who I am and what I want to do with my art career 🌸💕 you’ve inspired me to try to experiment with art & stickers to get started on freelance work 💅🏻 you are incredibly relatable and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing

Hi! I’m never this early so, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! I play them on repeat when I’m doing work. Thank you for keeping me company while I do work!
no matter what video you post it's so soothing to listen to and watch!!! also, would you ever do a video about your favorite teas? I am an avid tea drinker as well and am always curious about what others drink!!
Haven't been using AI for ages and needed a tutorial for sticker cut lines... this has been extremely helpful, thank you Cheyenne!
what I need is a video on how you edit!!! I love it!!
i'll put it on the list!
@@cheyennebarton Sweet!! Also quick question: do you think getting an iPad with 32 gbs is too small?
@@toribian98 i got the 128 gb one and i've barely used half of that (and that's tbh just bc i synced my 25k photos from my iphone onto it alkdjfasdf) so i definitely don't think 32 gbs is too small!! and with the wonders of cloud storage, if need be you can shuffle things over to google drive xx
cheyenne barton ah amazing thank you! You’re seriously so so helpful :)) final question: which version of the pencil do you have??
that‘s so cool to see the whole work process and how much time and work it takes to get the final sticker sheet 💕
I can’t wait to start doing my own sticker sheets in the future also can’t wait to purchase some holiday things from your shop when it updates so excited !!!!
Yay! A new Cheyenne video! My day just got a whole lot better :) Much love to you xx
thank you for sharing your sticker-making process. so much work goes into arranging the release of your products and it's all very appreciated!!! I wish you luck on all your creative endeavors. Love you!!! 💖
Oh my goodness! This was so freaking helpful! Even though this is old, I loved this video as I always do!!!
This is pretty cool. I'm trying to turn my traditional art into stickers and it's such a struggle! Hopefully I can get it right some day :D It has to be so much fun to watch Connor play it for the first time!
I regret that I just know your channel now! Thank you very much for the very informative and eye-candy art video 💞
been searching for this kind of rare tutorial, thanks Chey !
Omg you were exactly what I needed today! I was wondering how to lay out my first ever sticker designs and you saved the day T.T
For making the cutlines, you could "record an action" in illustrator to save you time and many clicks. Illustrator lets you record and save a sequence of actions and then "replay" it, to do all those steps again automatically.
So you could save: trace image, expand path, change fill and outline color (and probably even delet the "centerpiece")
You can even set a function key for this action on your keyboard and voilà, just select one of your little designs, replay the action and you're done.
Sorry if my explanation is not the best, my English is a bit rusty.
But just look it up on how to record actions in illustrator.
Misch Magnifique !!!! I HAD NO IDEA omg i’m gonna look into this!!!
Omg I was literally just making my first sticker sheet 🙌
serendipity !!!
i'll try out your tea recipe lol! i know it's really simple and something a lot of people would find common sense, but i always tend to add too much milk or too much sugar to my tea. i always end up getting a stomach ache when the right amount of everything isn't added :') thanks!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! It’s freaking soooo informative and has helped me so much! ❤️🥰 You are wonderful! Your shared knowledge is forever appreciated.
I love your videos and your art style! You are one of my many inspirations for my own sticker shop
ur so lovely and cute and ur art is so unbelievably beautiful that i'm watching all ur videos even tho i've never had any intention of making stickers. your entire aesthetic has just such a warm, welcoming, comforting feeling that makes everything feel like home and i highkey adore you and everything u do 💛
Recently found your chanel and ugh ur vids are so relaxing and soothing
Im in love with that rose tea bag
Hi Cheyenne! I don't know much about procreate or illustrator, but I'm always in the mood to watch one of your videos :) I feel like if we lived in the same town and somehow met, we would be friends. I hope you continue to heal from your colitis, and that the holiday season goes well for you! A break is a good thing to look forward to as well! A friend has been trying to get me to borrow one of their Zelda games, and I've never played it either...maybe I'll have to finally try it!
Oh my god, that's sooo useful, I always felt really awkward making those cutlines. Now I know an easier way to do it 😄 Thank you soo much! 💛
thank you so much for uploading this video! ♥ you have no idea how much knowledge i have gained from this ✨
Literally every single game you mentioned I have and am either working my way through it or haven’t started yet haha. Currently going through final fantasy though!
I just found your channel and I love listening to you and seeing all the beautiful stickers you make.
Omg i forgot to mention im glad youre doing much better! take care hun!
THATS IT IM GONNA START TURNING MY DOODLES INTO STICKERS AND PINS ILY
I love your videos.
It is like my dream cinematography (visuals, music, content) brought to life.
Lovely 💫❤
Hey Cheyenne I love this video!! Super informative and great for me as a beginner however with the photoshop update things have changed and I am struggling to move my drawings from Photoshop to Illustrator without a background and since I'm new to all this I don't know where to start, Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Or dare I ask for an updated video?
You did a great job explaining everything. My workflow is very similar and I can't say you missed anything! As others noted you can save time by "pasting in front" (its Ctrl+F on PC, not sure on Apple) and i'd say to flatten items in PS before moving to Illustrator to save time on your "cut line" process, but perhaps that degrades the quality of the print item, that's beyond my knowledge on this topic. You could also use the smoothing tool (grouped with the pencil tool) to smooth the cut lines, rather than deleting points. Might be a smidge faster for you. :) I love reading through the comments to see the tips everyone has. I'm all for learning anything the cuts down my time! Just an FYI for people that aren't Mac users, but do use an iPad, it's just as easy to file share without Airdrop. You can use Dropbox or Chrome and it works exactly the same way. I use one of these (mostly Google Drive because that's where I pay for more space) and share between my PCs, iPad and Samsung Note.
Wow I feel you so much. I have Crohn’s and have had two colonoscopy’s, all those fun tests and I’m on Prozac too lol
Enjoyed your process 😊 Have you tried the smoothing tool for your cutlines? The pen tool could also help to make it faster and smooth 🙂
Omg I just started watching bernadette!!! Also thank you for making this tutorial! I think I'd like to give stickers to my mom for christmas haha
Hope you are having a lovely day!
I really loved your video. Thankss soo much for sharing the process. Ahh and also if u don’t mind i know a tool ( ctrl + c and then ctrl+. F )for copy pasting just on top of copied artwork. Like u did for cutlines copy pasted stickers on top and lined them. Also ctrl + shft + v (paste in place ) can also b used to do the same.
Your approach to your production is great!
Everything is cute!!! Live the teapot and the sugar container. 😘😘😍😍plus the text.
Hey Cheyenne, a tip for pasting in illustrator: if you press ctrl + F instead of V, it will paste in the same place as copied :)
Hi Cheyenne, Thanks for your video!! It's super helpful!! Here is a small handy tip when you duplicate something in AI, Use Cmd+C for copy, but not Cmd+V for paste, you can use Cmd+F for Paste in front, which you can paste something exactly in front of the original copy. And use Cmd+B for paste in back, which you can paste something exactly in the back of the original. Hope it's helpful to you!!
Wow! Your tutorial is brilliant! Love how you explain everything and you show it! Thank you! Very informative. Would love to see more like this!
I’m loving your channel. Keep it coming!! 😍😍😍
I laughed so hard when you talked about Bernadette Banner. I have been watching her too. Random fun in learning about sticker cutting!
I’s not really a Cheyenne video unless it starts with tea makimg 😍
you're great! Thanks for this tutorial..it's awesome because you put the details on the side, so we can follow properly. it's a great idea. i just subscribed now. i should have discover your vlog earlier so i will learn more. I love it! I hope you can make a tutorial on Procreate too. Thanks for sharing!
your designs and COLORS are so cute! looking forward to that coloring vid.
and the other fire emblem games are great too, my personal fav is fire emblem awakening 😘
I didn't expect you to talk about Breath of the Wild at the end of the video 😊😊 Love it! Thank you for this video talented Cheyenne ☺
Just found this video and you have the cutest office setup. 😊
gonna try this over my weekday, fingers crossed it works!! will report later!
quick note about the copy pasting in illustrator: if you do cmd+shift+v or right click for the menu, there will be a paste in place option which will copy/paste your items in the same spot they were copied from :)
Okay, first of all thank you for sharing your process, because as much information as there is online, sometimes it's really hard to find a simplified and good tutorial like this. Also, agreed, my hubby and I talk about wishing to play BOTW again for the first time. And I really recommend Octopath Traveler for a turn based RPG, it has a great storyline and it has AMAZING pixel art.
When i copy the transparent image from ps to illustrator there is a white frame around the image and it is not transparent
Thank you so much for making this video! this has helped me so much :')
Hi Cheyenne! You are so funny and great teacher, thank you for this amazing video! I can feel you made it with love. Hope you and your family are well. I'm looking forward to seeing much more of you.
i loved watching this video! & i subscribed 💗 just a tip that i’ve learned, so maybe it will help you or someone else save time... go on the layer that all of the artwork is on and use the wand tool to select the background. then select > invert selection (cmd + i on mac) this will select the artwork as a whole. then you can go to modify > expand. that’s just what works best for me, so i hope it helps someone else!
pretty adorable stickers
this is exactly what i've been looking for!!! finally someone made it :')
Wow, you make it look so easy and quick! Makes me want to make my own stickers! Very inspirational!! :))
Wow! This is what i was wondering!
I hope I could make my artwork like you someday. 🥺
I love Bernadette so much! She’s everything I wanna be in life
Use the smooth tool at 16:08 to not have to do this manually. The lines are relatively smoother. Just draw along the path you want the anchors to smoothen.
When you're pasting the pictures from sticker sheet layer to the cutline layer, try command+shift+v instead. It should stick them in the place where the original pictures were and you won't have to adjust them by hand). Thank you for sharing your overall process. It is much appreciated
I have a question: When I do the copy and paste thing from Photoshop to Illustrator, Illustrator fills kind of a rectangle behind every design with white and the color as well as the quality seems off. Does anyone know a solution for this?
i have the same problem and i cant fix it. any solutions?
i also have the same problem and i have no idea whats wrong. it seems the illustrator imports these files as jpg instead of png with transparent background but i dont know how to fix this
hi! sticker yeti is a MUCH cheaper sticker printing company than sticker app, vinyl disorder and sticker mule!! there are less options material wise, only matte vinyl in fact, but its much better if ur only starting off
