You have seriously the best videos! Thank you for spending all your time and money doing all the research so we can attempt to avoid spending too much time and money finding the best products.
Man oh man… I don’t know why this video didn’t pop up when I typed in “comparing sticker paper” before… But I have watched a few of them where they only compared like two or three and this is just freaking phenomenal. There are so many different types on Amazon and even going through the ratings and reviews makes it difficult to figure out what you want exactly and so I definitely appreciate this video…even though it is two years old at this point that I’m watching it.
This is by far the best video for recommending materials for stickers. You had everything I was hoping for and delivered it all so well and efficiently. Thank you!
I don’t have any personal interest in sticker papers, but I was completely engrossed watching your thorough testing. You are the perfect Cricut teacher. Thank you so much Angie.
I wish I would have watched this before I purchased the Cricut thick sticker paper! You are so correct it would not feed through my hp printer, too thick. And I love the tape hack to get it to cut! Thank you!!!
Omgosh!! So much work you are doing for us! I was trying and I get confused...what one was that. Lol. Thank you for all of your time! You are the best!! ❤😂🎉
First I want to say I love all of your videos. I am fairly new to the Cricut world and you have made my life so much easier. I mainly use mine to make stickers. Would you consider comparing different printable holographic sticker paper or adhesive vinyl? Maybe include holographic laminates as well? Thank you for all you do for the crafting world.
Lady, your videos are so SO good! You go into so much detail and offer so many helpful suggestions and tips. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you pour into these--time-stamps and links, too! It is SO very appreciated! 💓
Thank you. I found this very helpful. I also tested 14. But only Matte and Glossy. (Joyeza, Aiva, Compandsave, NeotoLabels and Online Labels) For the glossy paper and HP envy, I have to place ONE piece of regular printer paper as far back from the tray on the bottom then place my glossy paper on top for it to feed. SETTINGS on printer matter to get the best possible colors.
I just got my Cricut Maker and your videos have been amazing! I’ve been digesting them for days in preparation for my machine to arrive. Thank you so much for all the work you do to help others. :)
Thank you for being so efficient and thorough. This was a valuable and excellent review. Thank you. Photography quality and editing and audio description are EXCELLENT.
Wow Angie - thanks for the comparison. I was looking to make a laptop sticker for my husband and wondering what to use. Without fail you have a wonderful comparison video! I have the Cricut printable vinyl and have decided it should be good to use based on your tests.
Thank you for doing these videos they're great. I am just about to delve into sticker making and these help a lot. Just need to see if they are available in the UK.
I am struggling with how to get the best resources for purchasing overseas! I would love to be able to offer those links as well but I just don't know how to get those for every circumstance.
I’m so glad I found you early on in my cutting adventures! Now I depend on your comparisons above all else, and am so thankful to you for all that you do, Angie! Thank you! Because you asked for reports of other brands, here is one from me. I got lucky my first time out with my new Maker. I bought Buttercrafts White Vinyl Sticker Sheets. The claims that it will be jam-proof and not cause feeding errors, and is waterproof held up for me. True to its claims, it fed smoothly. I tested my stickers immediately after printing, and they were absolutely waterproof. They are much more reasonably priced than many brands, at $13.99 for 20 sheets. It is difficult to tell which side is the sticker vinyl and which is the backing, but I learned that if I stick each side to a good cutting mat, the sticker side has a velvety or suede like feel, but ONLY after that test. I also tested some that I cut too deeply with transfer tape, and that lifted some of the ink. Cut properly, it is easily removed from the backing. I notified the company and got a rapid reply. They are sincerely interested in feedback and said they would include my information about the transfer tape on their instruction sheet. I don’t need anything to use outdoors, so I have not tested for that issue. I will buy this paper again because it performed very well for me. Leap of Faith: I printed this vinyl to put on Cricut coasters, and would do so again!
Again a truly awesome test of different sticker paper! Love your videos and thanks a lot. Ive been using cricut printable vinyl paper and it worked well for all my projects!
Thank you for such a thorough, informative video! Interestingly, I use an HP Envy 6000 series and one of my favorite sticker papers is one that didn't work for you... The neato, super glossy white waterproof!
I've never had a problem with NEATO Waterproof Glossy sticker papers feeding thru any of my three papers. They are completely waterproof. However, I usually only put in one sheet in the printer at a time...they also have frequent sales on their website!
Once again, a most comprehensive comparison! You answered questions I didn’t know I had. Lol. I usually just use the digiorange sticker paper for my planner stickers. But, I’ve been trying to figure out the best for car stickers. I’ll go back and watch that video too. Question: Can you print a sticker using explore, then weeks later go and cut it? Does explore recognize what it’s supposed to cut after changing designs?
I have SO MUCH stuff from them but I didn't have any of their weatherproof in full sized sheets for the Cricut. If I do another comparison, I will add it as I love their stuff!
Miss Angie!! I love you and your videos so much, especially these detailed comparisons. I am so grateful and appreciate all of the work you put in! I have request for you to consider when it comes to future videos like this - will you show the backing of each item you're testing? I have some sticker paper that isn't the best but it also isn't terrible. But the backing paper says "Please print your beautiful Stickers/Labels on the other side..." so I don't want to use it for items I'd like to sell cause, LAME! lolol. I'm new to stickers so this is the only brand I've tried so far (I purchased the paper in glossy and matte). When looking on Amazon for new sticker papers, it just doesn't seem to be a detail people mention in the product description or even the reviews. Either way, thanks for everything you do!!!
Hi Angie I just saw ur video and was so helpful thank u. I have a question can I use a uv laminate over the Amazon transparent sticker the one u liked to protected from water
@@AngieHolden Thanks Angie. I'd like for the print to be at the bottom of the ornament this way it is visible through the acrylic and I can add name on the top of the clear acrylic. That's why I was asking how do I do a front faced sticker - thanks!
It is tricky. You need to make multiple cuts on the die cut portion to do it all at once. I make an offset and copy it several times then locate those cuts over one another.
What is a kiss cut, cut? My stickers cut through completely I just what to lift them off the backing paper. Do you have a video on how to do that? Thanks
OOOHHH. PRINT then cut. As a newbie I thought you had to change markers/pens for the printing part. Still learning! 11:27 Any idea if the Explorer 3 fixed the scanning problem on print / cut?
Hi love this video thank you. I am just learning to make stickers so this helps. When using cricut printable sticker paper clear for a kiss cut use material setting printable sticker paper clear? Is this correct? If you add a laminate to it then use for a kiss cut printable sticker paper clear but cut 2 or 3 times? Is this correct ? Thank you.
Very helpful! Thanks! I'm about to order a Cricut Explore 3, mostly for making stickers, some kiss-cut, but mostly die-cut. Is the blade that comes with the Cricut Explore 3 good for this, or do I need to invest in another blade? Thanks again for the best crafting videos on UA-cam!
Kiss cut references only cutting the top layer and leaving the bottom layer in tact. Usually the vinyl setting will do that for you depending on thickness.
Thank you - had no idea there was so much stuff out there - I want to put vinyl on a folding end table that has slats on the top and it will sit under a covered patio that does not get sun or rain but I am in Florida where it gets humid in the summer - what do you suggest I use
on the clear sections... the difference is the amazon.. it printed darker than the other 2 I would choose the amazon for it is able to absorb color better than the other 2
@@AngieHolden Yea.. it is not visible with the naked eye.. in the video you can tell :) it is just the ink was better absorbed with the amazon paper.. that's all
What I want is a sticker that can be put on my kids water bottles but can be washed without falling apart. Is there a way to make the glossy laminate a little bigger than the printed sticker so it covers the printed stickers edges from the water
I have a Cricut joy and the Online Labels sticker paper. I was trying to see what settings you used to get the kiss cut. I am having trouble because the paper is so thin.
This might be a really dumb question, but how do you go back later and cut a print-then-cut file? It seems like you printed all of these and then later cut them. Do you do attach and then save your project?
What setting did you have your machine set to for the Orajet Printable Vinyl with the Oraguard Laminate? I had mine set to Custom-Printable Sticker White. It did OK, but I think it got hung up at times and I had multiple cut lines through the middle of my stickers.
You have seriously the best videos! Thank you for spending all your time and money doing all the research so we can attempt to avoid spending too much time and money finding the best products.
You are so welcome!
I agree! Love Angie's videos.

Thanks for all the information and tips.
Thanks Angie you always do a great job! I use a laser printer but this will still help me in looking at brands.
Happy to help!
best and easiest way to laminate for stickers? thank you for all the fantastic info
I just use the laminate over them and then cut on my Cricut. I haven't really found an easy or fast way.
Thank you so much, this is just what I needed!

Great tutorial. Learned a lot of important information.

Omg you truly make amazing videos

GREAT DEAL ANGIE
Online Labels. Weatherproof glossy sticker paper. PERIOD

Hi Angie I just saw ur video and was so helpful thank u. I have a question can I use a uv laminate over the Amazon transparent sticker the one u liked to protected from water
I think so!
Did I miss where you gave the cut settings once the laminate was on? tia :) P.S. I respect all your responses to people as A LOT of people never do :)
I cut on the printable vinyl setting I am pretty sure but I just went over 2 to 3 passes.
I came across your video today and it is Great! How do I do face front adhesive to apply to clear acrylic?
For a sticker, you will need to apply to the top of acrylic.
@@AngieHolden Thanks Angie. I'd like for the print to be at the bottom of the ornament this way it is visible through the acrylic and I can add name on the top of the clear acrylic. That's why I was asking how do I do a front faced sticker - thanks!

11:27 Any idea if the Explorer 3 fixed the scanning problem on print / cut?
Explore 3 has an upgraded sensor so it should be better.
Do you have a comparison with holographic printable sticker paper??
No comparison. Sorry!
Thanks you sooo much!!
You're welcome!

The blade that comes with it is fine!
@@AngieHolden Thanks!
I love your videos . Can you please tell me what cutting on cricut did you use to make full sheet not decale
I am not sure what you are asking?
for the clear sticker paper what printer setting did you use and how long did it take for the ink to dry?
It was dry almost immediately. For printer settings, I always use best quality.
Very helpful....as always.
Glad you think so!
What is kisscut is it a setting you select on your cricut machine under materials
Kiss cut references only cutting the top layer and leaving the bottom layer in tact. Usually the vinyl setting will do that for you depending on thickness.
Thank you for this! Do you need the matte tape if you are using a Maker 3? Also, have you ever tried Zicoto brand?
The matte tape is to reduce the glare from shiny sticker papers. I find my Maker will also mess up on those so yes you may need it.
You really need to have a rear receptacle, the paper slides better on the sled
Correct. My printer does not have one but I love it for other reasons.
Thank you - had no idea there was so much stuff out there - I want to put vinyl on a folding end table that has slats on the top and it will sit under a covered patio that does not get sun or rain but I am in Florida where it gets humid in the summer - what do you suggest I use
I would use permanent vinyl I think. Sounds like that would do the job.
on the clear sections... the difference is the amazon.. it printed darker than the other 2 I would choose the amazon for it is able to absorb color better than the other 2
I didn't see a huge difference but okay!
@@AngieHolden Yea.. it is not visible with the naked eye.. in the video you can tell :) it is just the ink was better absorbed with the amazon paper.. that's all
i like this video😁
Can you print and cut on colored paper on the joy? Or just the maker? This was soo helpful and informative thank you!
The Joy does not do print then cut. Any other Cricut machine does but not the Joy machine.
Looking for something that’s compatible for the cricket printable vinyl?
I like the Cricut printable vinyl for most projects.
I just picked up Hobby Lobby's Paper Studio. Have you tried that one? Thanks for all you do.
I have tried their vinyl and HTV and it is good so I wouldn't see why the sticker paper wouldn't be as well.
What I want is a sticker that can be put on my kids water bottles but can be washed without falling apart. Is there a way to make the glossy laminate a little bigger than the printed sticker so it covers the printed stickers edges from the water
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/v-deo.html
I'm looking for sticker paper that's thicker in material, and more durable. Would you happen to know any brands I can look into?
I haven't reviewed thick sticker papers as I don't have a printer that can use them!
Dumb question, but are you able to put laminate over the clear sticker paper in order to make it weather/water proof?
I used some laminate in this video.
I have a Cricut joy and the Online Labels sticker paper. I was trying to see what settings you used to get the kiss cut. I am having trouble because the paper is so thin.
See if there is a washi tape setting and try that.
ORAJET PRINTABLE VINYL LINK INCORRECT. FYI Would like if the link was the right one.
Which one is the best for RESIN (without having to seal)?
I always seal anything on paper before adding resin.
Hi. What type of mat should you use for the printable stickers and what size?
The blue light grip mat is fine. The standard 12x12 is fine.
Can you recommend a removable sticker paper? Very informative video, thank you!
This might be a really dumb question, but how do you go back later and cut a print-then-cut file? It seems like you printed all of these and then later cut them. Do you do attach and then save your project?
If you don't change ANYTHING on your design, you can come back later and cut them.
Hi Angie, you said you personally use Cricut vinyl for your stickers. Do you laminate your stickers? Thx.
Not for regular stickers. I do use a laminate if they are going outdoors.
What setting did you have your machine set to for the Orajet Printable Vinyl with the Oraguard Laminate? I had mine set to Custom-Printable Sticker White. It did OK, but I think it got hung up at times and I had multiple cut lines through the middle of my stickers.
I almost always use a matte paper setting when printing on sticker paper. Be sure to also change to best quality and turn off any fast printing.
