Cricut can do kiss cut on both sheet and sticker - the trick is to have the background layer in there 2 or three times; it will do the cut on the stickers once, but will cut boarders (the sheet) multiple times, effectively cutting it out :)
That's the technique I always have trouble with. Last time I tried it, it cut out the square and the blade never went near my stickers! I still don't know why!
Wow this is so much easier with the silhouette cameo! Just import the graphics, autotrace the edges, add a margin, decide the depth of cutting, print, and kiss and die cut in one go!
I spent ages watching comparison videos of the Cameo 4 and Cricut Maker and eventually went for a Cricut as I wasn't really interested in using the software, I knew I wanted to use Illustrator and Photoshop/Procreate and everywhere said it was possible to just use the Cricut software at the end. I kinda regret not going for the Cameo now because the Cameo seems so much more straightforward, I went for the Cricut as the comparisons I saw said the Cricut was better at cutting and was more exact so I was more bothered about the end product. However Cricut design space is annoying AF and nothing really makes sense, the Silhouette software is so much better :( I hope Cricut updates the software for Mac and PC soon, I appreciate the offset they've added but it's still nowhere near as good as silhouette! :(
Great video, super helpful and easy to follow! Another quick tip for the bleed layer: after setting it to alpha lock, change your color selection to white, and then just select “fill layer.” This will replace the entire black layer with white, without having to draw on the new color manually.
Another tip for cricut reading the registration marks on glossy paper is to turn off any overhead lights. These reflect off the paper confusing the sensor. Thanks for the video ❤️🇦🇺
I’ve watched this video a few times. When I try to do this, my Cricut only cuts out the outline of the background and doesn’t cut the stickers. Im feeling really frustrated. Can you help me?
If you have photoshop I'd recommend doing your outline and bleed in there as you can just add a stroke to your PNG layer(s) and it's much easier than going round by hand! When filling everything in white in Procreate aswell, instead of using your spraypaint brush you can press and drag your white circle at the top right onto your canvas to fill like the bucket tool :) After you drop your colour onto the canvas don't let go and drag to the right to increase the tolerance. Thanks for the video :) I ordered my Cricut last week and have found it SO frustrating so far! I find that the Cricut kinda encourages waste product as you can't print/cut A4 etc, the fact it adds a 1/4 inch border annoys me so much as it means I can't line up multiple jobs. Also I've found my artwork goes into Cricut design space much larger than the size it looks in Photoshop. I'm assuming it's a DPI thing but I've not sorted it yet!
thanks! I actually use illustrator to create the stroke when I make stickers but it's not as beginner friendly as this method, so I tried to do something a beginner would be able to. I prefer to use SVGs for cricut when I can but otherwise I export a PNG from cricut and don't have issues with sizing. There is a hack for print/cut on a larger surface, there are lots of videos for it, I showed it in my tik toks hacks video so that would save a bit of paper for you!
hi! ive watched many different tutorials but it never works like it only cuts out the background never the actual design? do you know what could be wrong?
Thank you so much!!!! Finally a clear and perfect explanation! I finally did it, after so many failed attempts, all the way through to cutting it 😍 perfect thank you c
Hi, thanks for the video. I followed your instruction however my cricut cut the background rectangle, but not the stickers. What else should I set? thanks
the cricut only reads the 4 corners for reg marks. using that much tape is a waste. you need 4 small pieces and put them sideways on the corners so its covers both sides. boom saves you a ton of tape
So I’ve tried all the paper and even yours on your video but my black ink just rubs right off when I print.. is there a trick or should I just keep hunting for paper
yes i agree, I use photoshop and illustrator for everything but I know adobe is super expensive and also has a high learning curve so this is another option.
I bought my Cricut in 2020,saved this video and finally used it to reference making my first stickers today. 2020, the dreaded year of the start of embarrassing toilet paper hoarding, and you have the sticker file to prove it 😂 thank you!
Hi Sarah! So in order to make the sticker sheet (peel off the top and not cut kiss cut) I need to put it on the sticky note setting when cutting correct? Thanks!
Hi there 😊 thank you for your video ❤ I have a quick question(: When I use print and cut with my 2 attached layers it prints out a black outline around every sticker I'm not sure how to make it translucent / white like yours. In circuit art board they are white but once printed there's an outline 😢

@@robira1313 flattened maybe
@@robira1313 make sure it's attached.
That’s what that I do too 👌 x
@@robira1313 were you able to figure out how to fix it because I am facing the same issue?
I was today years old when I learned the matte tape over glossy registration lines fix. Thank you!

ya i think i've seen that and wondered why cricut hasn't done this yet.

hi! ive watched many different tutorials but it never works like it only cuts out the background never the actual design? do you know what could be wrong?
I'm having the same problem
Me too! Have you worked out how?
Are you attaching the design and background together? You have to hit the attach button.
Even by attaching or flattened it’s not working
I have a Cricut Maker I used sticky note with less pressure to cut my stickers and it still cuts all the way through. What am I doing wrong?
I'm having the same issue :( did you ever figure out a solution?
Thank you so much!!!! Finally a clear and perfect explanation! I finally did it, after so many failed attempts, all the way through to cutting it 😍 perfect thank you c
You just got a sale! I heard the cha-ching!
hahahaha i did! 🎉🎉
what's the size of the canvas you use on procreate?
Hi, thanks for the video. I followed your instruction however my cricut cut the background rectangle, but not the stickers. What else should I set? thanks
I have the same issue. 🥲
Samee
I have the same issue and apparently a lot of persons have it. I can’t find the answers 😢
Did anyone ever learn why?
I have had the same issue
I used sticky paper and it still doesn't kiss cut
What type of paper you are using in this video and where do you get it ?
can i use ibis paint?
the cricut only reads the 4 corners for reg marks. using that much tape is a waste. you need 4 small pieces and put them sideways on the corners so its covers both sides. boom saves you a ton of tape
Followed all the steps and didnt even work =( cut out the box but not the inside stickers

Thank you very much! This video includes all I needed
So I’ve tried all the paper and even yours on your video but my black ink just rubs right off when I print.. is there a trick or should I just keep hunting for paper
I don't think it's the paper, it could be your print settings. I set mine to glossy photo paper which I think makes the difference
Has anyone tried this recently and had it work? Starting to think this no longer works and cricut has caught on and made it impossible
I made a stricker sheet in design space. For the "sheet" part I just used a rectangle image and my machine cut it out!
What setting did you use
I followed this step by step and my Cricut always ends up cutting outside of my outline 😞
I even got a new machine and it still does it
try calibrating it
Very informative video - thank you!
Thank you!
I used sticky notes and still it cuts the whole sticker.😓
Wondering if anyone knows if the Epson ET 2720 would work for this? I'd rather make my own labels for my products!
it's easier to make the borders with adobe Photoshop

I legit followed you step by step and still didn’t get it. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you I was looking for this
It's 2022, did I miss the giveaway? 😁
haha yes
For the hand-drawn stickers, did you draw them by hand in an app? Or..?
drawn in procreate :)
Thanks for your help
Very helpful, thanks!
Is this paper waterproof or scratch resist?
yep! to both!
Ur stunning wow, lets hold hands under rainbows lol hahahah. Sorry im weird...Meow
Was watching until I read the stickers so I’ll peace out now ✌🏻😂
