this is THE MOST HELPFUL sticker sheet tutorial I've ever seen!! Thank you! So well explained, perfect speed of explanation and easy to pause when needed & not get lost. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!
Thank you for sharing your process of creating sticker sheets! It was so easy to follow along and understand everything! The tricky part for me was figuring out what cut settings I should use with the paper I had. The Cricut kept cutting through the whole sticker sheet, leaving me with a di-cut as you explained it.
Have I got to say your explanations were so so crisp and super easy to follow along, I rarely even had to pause! The setup of stacking the sheets is SO smart to just do it in one go. I can’t thank you enough, you pre answered all my sticker sheet cricut questions! I feel like a pro now!!❤❤❤❤
Oh yay! I’m so happy to hear that you like it!! It’s so difficult to explain everything clearly when there’s so much happening, but really glad you like it! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial it was super easy and my circuit cut my stickers just right. At first I had issues with my cut settings. Luckily I had used online labels for my stickers and they had a file for each type of sticker paper they have with the cut settings making it easier to figure out the cut settings.
Oh my goodness what amazing timing! I really recommend rewatching and just pausing as you go - it goes fairly fast so it might be a bit overwhelming if you don’t pause at each step! ❤️ good luck and let me know how you get on! 😍
wow, that was really interesting! I've never heard about such small domestic cutting machines :) when I have been working at IKEA as a designer, we had a printing room and there were a huge professional printer and a huge Japanese cutting machine for professional use. I thought that it would be cool to have a smaller version for personal use, and here they are :D
Wow that must have been so interesting to see! The smaller cutter was amazing to get my business off the ground! You can do all sorts with it, so it’s great for loads of things!
Hehe thank you! I’ve actually been with skillshare for a few years now so it was amazing when they reached out! So glad I could offer the free month to everyone 😍😍😍
So all I had to do in my printer settings is to set it to photo quality on high to get that type of print. I did a print at the jump (didn’t mess with settings) and it looked like it’s been out in the sun for the longest time. I must try these settings when I design another. Thanks 😊
Does exist any website same like INPRNT that you just add your designs and they take care of everything with shipping and send them to customers? To sell sticker SHEETS.
Yes I really recommend the one I have! Although - I think it’s no longer manufactured and it’s now called the 8550. It’s a bit more expensive than I paid, but it’s the updated version of mine. I really love mine and although the printer itself is more expensive, I’ve only had to buy one set of ink at £60 in two years!
Loved this video!! I only have one problem.. if i put my illustrations in to the Cricut Design Space the quality is not the same as it was.. i tried everything but the illustrations are getting a little bit blurry so when I print it, it looks like that :( do you know what I do wrong? I’m desperate!! 💘
Oh no! Honestly I’ve never had this issue and this is the first time I’ve heard of this happening (and I’ve had a lot of questions off the back of this video!) what are you exporting the illustrations as? Are they blurry after exporting or is it only in design space?
Hey! So glad you liked the video. Cricut definitely has its problems when it comes to misalignment. Usually this isn’t due to the file, but more to do with issues with the cricut. Do you know about calibrating your machine? (If you do, I’m sure you’ve already tried this!), but usually a couple of calibrations fixes any misalignments I get xx
Incredibly clear and helpful, thank you so much! I"m new to Cricut, and I have a question. I see how Cricut is cutting around the stickers on the sheets with a kiss cut. But why is it not cutting out your top header with the name of sticker set on it? Thank you!
Hey! Glad you found it helpful. So I didn’t want it to cut around the banner because I don’t think anyone would want to use this as a sticker? Maybe they would though! It’s more for decoration as a title ☺️
@@centsiblecooking oh I see - well I create the header on a background layer, and the stickers on a separate layer. So the cricut only cuts around the stickers. If you follow the steps in the tutorial, this should make sense when you do it! 😍

Great tutorial! Quick tip: if you use the "align > center" button in Design Space when you have all 5 backgrounds selected, it'll put them all in the same X,Y coordinates without you having to manually (re)adjust them :) This could save some time! I was wondering, would you share what sticker paper you use? I also have an Epson ET, but the colors come out so dull on my sticker paper 😔
Hey! Ohhh amazing tip! See - always learning even when you’ve been doing these things for years! Yes I left the link to my sticker paper in the description 😊 it’s premium from every green goods ❤️
elliesprkls have you noticed on Epson ET that when you print certain colors that it seems to be color missing. I don’t how to explain it but I noticed when I print gray colors the printer prints out purple gray color. It’s so strange I have never had a printer print like this before.
@@fizzandflourish It's one of the best things about online communities - all the exchange of information! And thank you, sorry for not having checked the description oops!
@@wonderwonder30 I have noticed I get color issues, but for me it looks super grainy and the colors are off indeed... Some I really can't get to correct (have some designs with red that always print brown-ish). If I print with "best" setting in Preview, or let Photoshop manage colors for my designs, it's mostly alright but it's not a 100% either. Was really shocking at first, but the ink efficiency is unbeatable
@@elliesprkls Hi there I have the same problem 😢 when I print something directly through photoshop the colours are vibrant and sharp, when I print the same thing through cricut print and cut it's grainy and dull even if I select the exact same setting on the printer dialog box 🤯 I'm loosing my mind! (I have an Epson ET 2850). Did you find any solutions? Thank you 😊
How come on the canvas I don’t see my drawings have an outline like yours when aligning the template and stickers? Is it because I’m doing it on my iPad? Please help!
Hey I need help plz ! I do exactly the same thing like you but it cut only 1 times and only the contour of the stickers sheets but not the stickers themselves, what I have to do to fix that problem?
I think you can, although I know a lot of people have issues making kiss cut sticker via the app - sometimes it only seems to work on desktop! But it’s worth a try and see if it works for you! They might have worked out the bugs by now ☺️
Because this is the maximum size I can do to fit two in one cricut sheet. The cricut print a a black border as a sensor line so you can’t make them A5 size as they won’t fit on the page. Any bigger and I’d only fit one sticker sheet on one A4 page
You mean the really thin line around each sticker? To be honest mine never used to have this, and I had to just guess - I thought perhaps cricut design space had just done an update and added that as a feature! I don’t think it’s anything I did to add it
My Cricut design space software does not recognize my illustrations with bleeding when I attach them to my background stickersheet? It only cuts my background but not my stickers. When I only "make" my stickers, it does recognize my stickers. Can you please explain this to me? Thank you so much ☺
The only thing I can think of, is whether you’re doing this on cricut design space on the iPad? It seems to only work on the desktop version of cricut 🤦🏻♀️
@@fizzandflourish I just got my cricut explorer and I’m having this same issue. My issue also includes that my app on my laptop doesn’t work at all it won’t let me sign in. :\ This is making me so sad and mad because I bought the cricut for this mainly…
Oh I’m sorry I should have said in the video - I did a full process in one of my draw with me videos. It’s not quite a tutorial, but o go into how I create the sticker sheets in full. It’s a draw along, but all the info is there! Hope that helps ☺️
So those two bars along the top are part of the background layer, so they are part of the white background. So when they’re cut, it only cuts around the outer shape, and not inside the lines. Hope that helps!
Love this video but I’m having trouble actually doing it. I tried following all steps but it keeps cutting the boarder of the sticker sheet only without cutting the stickers insides.. any idea how to fix this?
Hi! Have you saved the stickers as a png? They need to have a clear background around each sticker, so no white background. If you’ve already done this, have you attached the layers together in cricut design space? Also - this tutorial is for desktop use…I don’t think it works on the iPad version of cricut design space. Hope that helps!
So it sounds like either the settings are set to ‘more’ pressure or ‘default’ pressure. Have you tried the ‘less’ pressure? This will hopefully make the blade cut a bit lighter. Or, are you using a new blade? I always have to make settings adjustments when I change the blade. Orrrr, I’m reading this wrong and you mean that the kiss cut sticker isn’t cutting fully and it’s lifting the background up too? In which case, you might need to change the settings to ‘more’ because it’s not cutting through the sticker paper - or you need a new blade maybe as it could be blunt? The settings I show on my video are only for my sticker paper, so you might need to experiment with different settings. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, it’s hard to know without being there!
hi there! yours is probably the 5th tutorial i've gone through today alone. everything works great up until the cutting part. it cuts the sticker sheet perfectly but doesn't try cutting any of the actual stickers. i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but i'm getting desperate. any help you can provide would be amazing!
Hey! I’m so sorry you’re having trouble with this. I know it’s really frustrating when you’re watching all the tutorials! Are you doing this method on the cricut design space on the iPad? It seems to only work on the desktop! Just thought I’d ask before looking further into what it could be!
@Fizz and Flourish thank you so much for your response! it turns out that was -exactly- it! it worked perfectly when i sent the images to my macbook and processed them from there! (the only major issue i'm running into is the ugly black borders around each sticker but i've read in many places it's some sort of an IOS issue that isn't resolved :-/ )
I've been trying to make stickers for so long, and I finally made the actual design for it, and using the Cricut is way more errors than successes for me. If it actually reads the black lines, usually the cricut doesn't cut exactly and it's always off. And I spent time making sure the paper is exactly lined up on the grid so does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I’m so sorry you’re having trouble! I really understand the frustration, believe me! This may be a silly question, but have you tried calibrating the machine? You can do this in cricut design space. It’s sort of resets the cricut when it’s cutting off. Also try having the lid down or holding something over it so that it’s in shadow and the sensor light can really pick up the lines. Some people also find the opposite helps - flooding it with light. These are just a few tricks that can help but if it’s really not working and you’ve tried everything then I’d get in touch with cricut. One thing that worked for me, was taking the light apart and cleaning it properly (it was covered in dust so not picking up the sensor lines). But that should only be the case if you’ve been cutting for a long time and dust has built up. Also if you do that, bare in mind your warranty won’t be covered. I really hope some of those tips help - I have a love/hate relationship with my cricut!
Does anyone know how I can make sure my Cricut explore air 2 aligns the cut right around the stickers? Even with a white background I am still finding it off to the left and down way too much. It doesn’t need an update which I have tried. I have changed the position down by 3cm but again isn’t really helping the issue. The sticker backing outline is perfect. When I upload the stickers file they overlap the backing title so I have to edit the size to fit and have done this manually to get it lined up. Please help!
Hi i tried to make one of this but unfortunately my Cricut machine wont cut inside the sheet, it only cut outside the background sheet not in each sticker. Can someone help me?
Hello, me again 😅😂 so when I’ve got the square and I put in the width then height, it stays as a square.. I’ve checked to see what the settings say for the measurements, it is set as imperial. Do I keep it that way or metric? When I have tried to put in the same measurements in cm as it kept saying it could not make them this size last time I tried, they turned out tiny as a 6x4 as I put in the 6x4 measurements as a compromise… but that was rubbish. I am now wondering why I won’t give me the correct rectangle size.. 😩
Have you clicked the unlock button in the middle of the width and height bar? If it’s locked, and you put in a measurement on the width, it will match the height so that it keeps the square. If you unlock the padlock, you can put any measurement in and you should get a rectangle!
It printed perfectly as yours did but the cut was misaligned and it cut the outline right through my sticker packs 😬 I’m on page two now (had to come back later to finish) and I’m worried the same thing will happen again. 🤔 the only thing was I couldn’t quite line up my stickers when I resized them (iPad) (it kept highlighting the backing every time so I’d have to un select and select to re size ) Because the stickers are different sizes the smaller ones don’t align to have the cut line between the outlines. Still though, it cut the outlines through the designs, (I didn’t have two mats so I out mat 1 through again thinking it was scanning😅) I wonder if the cut was off because I didn’t realise I needed to load two mats to cut the outlines first.. anyway back to the start again 😅 I have so many to hand cut 😂
I also couldn’t find a copy and paste option for Cricut through the iPad, so I had to duplicate them. Also I couldn’t press enter either. I even connected a mouse to right click to copy and paste and couldn’t do this so il try with my laptop and hope it works
I followed your instructions. Write them out then did each step of my uploading to cricut. It’s cut the background border but not each sticker. What have I done wrong pls?? Help 😢
Hey! I’m so sorry you’re having a problem with this! When you imported the sticker layer, did you do it as a png? So that there is no white background around each sticker?
@@JoCharleston and you’ve attached the layers together? So the background and the sticker layer are attached? I’m so sorry I wish I could stop by and have a look! Can you message me on instagram and send me some screen shots? It might be something super small that’s making a difference. Also - are you doing this on desktop? Sometimes the issue is working on the app on an ipad
@@JoCharleston I think the problem is working from the iPad unfortunately - I’ve had people with similar issues and all of them are using the iPad - as soon as they switch to a desktop, they’ve been successful. Unfortunately this is just something cricut needs to fix! If I was to make the video again I’d mention this, it’s just something I didn’t think of when I was filming as I always use my laptop :/

It doesn’t need an update which I have tried. I have changed the position down by 3cm but again isn’t really helping the issue. The sticker backing outline is perfect. When I upload the stickers file they overlap the backing title so I have to edit the size to fit and have done this manually to get it lined up. Please help!
Have you tried calibrating the machine?
Hello, yes I did and it helped so much! I’m back again to try with new paper and a new design 😊
Hi i tried to make one of this but unfortunately my Cricut machine wont cut inside the sheet, it only cut outside the background sheet not in each sticker. Can someone help me?
Hey! Are you using the iPad to do this? I’ve since found out that this just doesn’t seem to work on iPad! Only desktop version seems to work
I’m not entirely sure what I’ve done wrong I’ve attached All the files but my cricut only seems to cute the background layer and not the stickers
Are you working on the iPad or desktop? It doesn’t seem to work via the cricut iPad app!
That might be why I always work on my iPad I’ll give it a go on my laptop tysm
Hello, me again 😅😂 so when I’ve got the square and I put in the width then height, it stays as a square.. I’ve checked to see what the settings say for the measurements, it is set as imperial. Do I keep it that way or metric? When I have tried to put in the same measurements in cm as it kept saying it could not make them this size last time I tried, they turned out tiny as a 6x4 as I put in the 6x4 measurements as a compromise… but that was rubbish. I am now wondering why I won’t give me the correct rectangle size.. 😩
Have you clicked the unlock button in the middle of the width and height bar? If it’s locked, and you put in a measurement on the width, it will match the height so that it keeps the square. If you unlock the padlock, you can put any measurement in and you should get a rectangle!
… my bad… I just had to unlock the padlock to change the size 😂… oh I do enjoy this 😂 imperial: inches and metric: cm for anyone wanting to know 😅
Yes thank you ! I just saw your reply, thank you for being so speedy ❤ I was having a moment 😂
It printed perfectly as yours did but the cut was misaligned and it cut the outline right through my sticker packs 😬 I’m on page two now (had to come back later to finish) and I’m worried the same thing will happen again. 🤔 the only thing was I couldn’t quite line up my stickers when I resized them (iPad) (it kept highlighting the backing every time so I’d have to un select and select to re size )
Because the stickers are different sizes the smaller ones don’t align to have the cut line between the outlines.
Still though, it cut the outlines through the designs, (I didn’t have two mats so I out mat 1 through again thinking it was scanning😅)
I wonder if the cut was off because I didn’t realise I needed to load two mats to cut the outlines first..
anyway back to the start again 😅 I have so many to hand cut 😂
I also couldn’t find a copy and paste option for Cricut through the iPad, so I had to duplicate them. Also I couldn’t press enter either. I even connected a mouse to right click to copy and paste and couldn’t do this so il try with my laptop and hope it works
Yeah I’ve wasted two sticker packs just making mistakes too. It’s so frustrating
I followed your instructions. Write them out then did each step of my uploading to cricut. It’s cut the background border but not each sticker. What have I done wrong pls?? Help 😢
Hey! I’m so sorry you’re having a problem with this! When you imported the sticker layer, did you do it as a png? So that there is no white background around each sticker?
I did yes. Cannot understand where I’ve gone wrong at all
@@JoCharleston and you’ve attached the layers together? So the background and the sticker layer are attached? I’m so sorry I wish I could stop by and have a look! Can you message me on instagram and send me some screen shots? It might be something super small that’s making a difference. Also - are you doing this on desktop? Sometimes the issue is working on the app on an ipad
@@fizzandflourish yes I did Altho working cricut design space off an iPad as it doesn’t work on my chromebook.
@@JoCharleston I think the problem is working from the iPad unfortunately - I’ve had people with similar issues and all of them are using the iPad - as soon as they switch to a desktop, they’ve been successful. Unfortunately this is just something cricut needs to fix! If I was to make the video again I’d mention this, it’s just something I didn’t think of when I was filming as I always use my laptop :/
I swear i follow all the steps and it only cut the big squares and not the stickers and I don’t know why 😫
wow. this sounds so complicated. no wonder stickers sold by artists on Etsy etc costs more.
Rather than a full on snog! Lol
Hahaha it’s a while since I made this video so I can’t even remember why I said this 🤣🤣🤣 sounds like something I’d say tho hahaha
You were making the distinction between a kiss cut and die cut. The die cut was the snog. I thought it was a fab analogy!
I followed all steps but it cuts only the outside border of the template and not the stickers. What am i doing wrong? 😢
You have to do it on the computer not an ipad, I learned this the hard way😂
@@katepowell8632 ah oke thank you! I will try it that way. Thanks for the best explained videos ❤️
there are only 2 gens of Apple Pencil you have 2nd generation NOT 5th generation just so you are aware
Oh hahahaha I’ve no idea where I got 5th gen from! 😂🤦🏻♀️ thanks!
