This is the best sticker tutorial I have seen. I've been making stickers for a while now but I learned several things from you today. Thank you Ashlee!
Counting the days till summer break so I can get busy trying all the things I’m learning from you. I bought some “neat” sticker stuff probably 2yrs ago. It hasn’t been touched because I haven’t been able to wrap my brain around how inkjet printing could be made durable in dishwashers. Watching this it makes better since. Love the credit card/fabric hack until I get a squeegee. Always learn something from you. I also appreciate how quick your tutorials are too.
Hi. Sorry if I missed it. But for the laminating pouch since it’s cut smaller than the paper, do you put the top sheet only on top of the sticker paper? Or do you need the bottom laminating sheet behind the sticker? Thank you.
Thanks Ashlee for the video. However, I found my stickers (with a sheet of clear laminate) tend to peel off after a few times using the dishwasher. Any suggestion how I can improve the quality? Thanks.
What kind of sticker paper are you using? I do whole heartedly believe that if you’re not using high quality paper, nothing will last long. That said, rubbing cup with rubbing alcohol and letting it dry. Doing this removes any dirt or skin oils preventing stickers from adhering. I don’t generally need to do this, but zap it with heat to activate the glue. I find that if I’m using high quality sticker paper I don’t even need to do that.
So I’ve been using this method of laminating the stickers and they look awesome but I’ve noticed my laminate sheet is SUPER easy to lift away from the sticker after they’re done. Do yours peel off like that? Do you think I have bad laminate paper? I use the hot setting and wait for it to show its ready to laminate
I think it maybe the sticker paper that you’re using. When I use the cheaper sticker paper my stickers don’t stick as well to my cups like when I use a higher quality sticker paper.
I was wondering that too, but I did learn a few months ago that at the bottom of the materials selection screen, you can edit the amount of pressure and how many cuts the machine makes. When you click on the option, it takes you to another screen where you can search for the material you are cutting and then change the parameters accordingly. This comes in handy when you don't have Cricut Access. 👍
They are waterproof. The ink tends to wash away, scratch, or bleed with normal wear and tear. Laminating is a great way to seal your ink to the vinyl/paper. Hope this helps♡
I’m curious, can a laminator be used to lay the self-adhesive sheets, if the machine has a cold pouch option? Or is that something completely different and just not work?
@@ashleefalco In my mind, I’d have to “hold the laminate in the air” as it fed through, to keep it from just “falling” onto the paper and form bubbles or just fall crooked. Gonna buy one from Walmart and try it
@@ashleefalco*Update* I bought a cheap one from Walmart and tried it with the “cold” setting for Self-adhesive laminate and it worked like a charm! So, I don’t have to worry about bubbles or my mat moving around. 😅
Can you make a video on a3 and tabloid print and cut. There aren't videos on it on UA-cam and I i have been having issues using a3, it doesn't register. I need tips and recommendations.
Hello! Towards the end of this video I show you how to resize Cricut to do A3/tabloid: ua-cam.com/video/9-HzzLQh3iA/v-deo.html Lmk if you still have questions after that! ❤️❤️❤️
That's a good question. I looked up the temperature on this laminator and it said it gets 257°. It would be interesting to see if you could use a heat press set at that temperature with the laminating sheet.
Yes you can! I've used a heat press to apply laminate to different items to allow me to sublimate on them. I've use it on wood tiles and glass it works great 😊
@@ashleefalco I actually learned a lot from your video. Thank you! I do still pay for access, but they need to fix whatever is going on. I do like their fearures. I am loving Creative Fabrica.
You are an amazing teacher, so glad i found you. Love that you get right to the point and without a little chit chat
Thank you for watching!!! But I have to tell you, I've been called a chatter box, so beware LOL
This is the best sticker tutorial I have seen. I've been making stickers for a while now but I learned several things from you today. Thank you Ashlee!
That's amazing to hear!!! YAY!!

I'm also counting down the days for summer break as well! More time to relax, hang out with the kids, and craft.
Great Tutorial. Will be trying your technique out soon!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great info! ℹ️
Thank you!!
Awesome video! I think im going to get going making stickers now! Love that laminator.
the laminator is so nice!
Hi Ashley, have you ever done stickers on a3 b4? Can you do a video on a3 sticker sheets?
it'd be the same as this tutorial just printed on a different sized paper.
What setting do you use for the cut? Sticker paper or another setting?
I generally use vinyl+ but every machine is different.
This will be my first attempt. Did you use heat to keep them on?
You totally can! It helps the adhesive bond with the substrate.
Hi. Sorry if I missed it. But for the laminating pouch since it’s cut smaller than the paper, do you put the top sheet only on top of the sticker paper? Or do you need the bottom laminating sheet behind the sticker? Thank you.
No reason to do the back, you take the backing off when you want to use the sticker

Which sticker paper do you recommend? & ty for the video!
This is my favorite sticker paper ever: amzn.to/446OF77
Can you use matte laminate sheets?
that won't be an issue at all!
So what was the point of adding so many layers of the offset to the stickers? Was it so that the machine would cut multiple times on each one?
do to that easy peel sticker method. If you paid for access you could just use the sticker button.
I was wondering that too, but I did learn a few months ago that at the bottom of the materials selection screen, you can edit the amount of pressure and how many cuts the machine makes. When you click on the option, it takes you to another screen where you can search for the material you are cutting and then change the parameters accordingly.

It's because she wanted to do easy peel stickers, so you don't have to peel from the border.
So you put laminate over one to make it waterproof would the holographic one not be waterproof?
It depends on your printer but my holographic is waterproof.
They are waterproof. The ink tends to wash away, scratch, or bleed with normal wear and tear. Laminating is a great way to seal your ink to the vinyl/paper. Hope this helps♡
Would the laminate sheet or holographic sheet work on top of permanent vinyl to make it dishwasher safe?
it will!
I’m curious, can a laminator be used to lay the self-adhesive sheets, if the machine has a cold pouch option? Or is that something completely different and just not work?
I think it'd work as long as you set it to cold
@@ashleefalco In my mind, I’d have to “hold the laminate in the air” as it fed through, to keep it from just “falling” onto the paper and form bubbles or just fall crooked. Gonna buy one from Walmart and try it

Lmk if you still have questions after that! ❤️❤️❤️
@@ashleefalco okay watching it now, thanks for always posting 🤌🏿💕
Could you use a heat press to heat up the laminate sheet?
That's a good question. I looked up the temperature on this laminator and it said it gets 257°. It would be interesting to see if you could use a heat press set at that temperature with the laminating sheet.
I'm thinking about testing this out 😵💫
😳 I dunno! I’ve never tried that before 😳
Can't wait for you to try it@@ashleefalco
Yes you can!
I've used a heat press to apply laminate to different items to allow me to sublimate on them. I've use it on wood tiles and glass it works great 😊
Why do you not say what setting to cut them on
all setting are different for all cutting machines.
@@ashleefalco this one seems to be trolling and extremely negative with every comment. Sheesh 🙄
The Cricut access sticker feature is SO glitchy that it can take hours to do a simple task. It is not worth it!!!
I 100% agree and although u pay for access I never use it myself.
