This is the only time I’ve ever watched a cricut tutorial video all the way thru. You actually make sense while explaining this. Plus, you’re easy to listen to and watch. Thanks for sharing, I finally understand the process now. Thank you ❤
😊Great tutorial. So easy to understand. You don’t repeat, and over explain. One of the best tutorials I have watched. And I have watched TONS!!!!! I am looking forward to more. And what to know how to become a member?

This video was amazing. I picked up a circuit to use in my auto refinishing business. I wanted to start making my own stencils when I’m airbrushing. Discovered everything I needed to know and gotten up and going. Thank you very much. I know it’s an older video, but it was amazing that I stumbled across it.
I'm a new follower and am enjoying your tutorials! Boy do I wish I saw this trick yesterday when my project failed. I'm not necessarily a beginner, but more a novice/intermediate level Cricuteer. This was a game changer! Thank you!!
Okay! So we need transfer tape without the lines on it. Sold a sticker as a car decal. Client is going to transfer it the way one normally does (she has experience in that regard) but I could have saved a whole bunch of transfer tape using an offset and by using transfer paper that has no lines on it. Something to remember for the future! Thanks Kelly!
This is quite a complicated one to answer! The majority of the Cricut permanent vinyls work beautifully (the non "fancy" ones eg holographic, shimmer etc). For other brands look for the Outdoor label - those are the ones that are rated to last longer outdoors under the sun and weather etc.
Hi Kelly im new to cricut and already addicted thank you for this vid helps a ton great vid and easy to understand ( now i dont have to ask Ruzelle for help i can just come look at your vids )
This is/was a very thorough and easy to understand (in layman's terms - IDIOT PROOF) method for vinyl stickers! I'm in need of 75-100 for a fundraiser and this is how they'll be done! I'm now a fan!!
@@KellyRossouw everything went very well UNTIL it was time to peel the stickers off of the mat (I was using the mat you suggested) they cut nice but had a lot of sticking to the mat! Any tips?
I got it figured out. Sorry I’m very new to cricut. I’ve played with design space and made a lot of designs I’ve the past year but haven’t started using the cricut itself till a couple days ago
Found this to be the best video tutorial on sticker making out there. At least for me. But, we need a new tutorial as there’s the new Create Sticker option in design space. I finally (after 1 year) am trying to do my logo stickers again, as I had given up. Hopefully the second half of steps are exactly the same. Though it might take some trial and error due to not knowing the difference between a Die Cut and a Kiss Cut. Actually, the new feature seems quite different. It looks good and easy on canvas but it would make it now a print then cut method I believe. Well, thanks for this video 🙏🏼
This is by far the best Vinyl/cricut tutorial I have ever seen! This video should blow up! I haven't seen this technique anywhere and I thunk I've watched all of UA-cams Cricut side 🤩
What vinyl specifically is it that you’re using that has the transfer tape on it already. I have used cricut premium perm vinyl and I still have to put transfer tape on it. Great video. Thank you in advance.
I had no clue you could put transfer tape right on it before u cut! Is that with any brand transfer tape. I put laminate on top of my printable vinyl. I really hate adding transfer tape after the fact, I waiste so much transfer tape that way. Thank you
great video- so how did the machine know to cut a perfect border around the text at the very end? were there certain settings that needed tweaked? it seems you just put it back in the machine with no adjustments- thank you
Hello from a fellow Zagatarian and Silhouette crafter here, thanks for all your tips and tutorials, love your work! The custom chocolate tutorial was super helpful for making family Christmas gifts. A quick question, where did you buy those vinyl roll holders? I can't find those anywhere here in SA even after days of searching, I ended up designing and 3D printing my own as a last resort...
Such a helpful tutorial thank you Kelly! I hope you have a solution for my dilemma! I am trying to make multiple laminated bag tags. The tag is a rectangular shape with rounded corners, with an image and name inserted, created in design space. I am using the print and cut method, once printed, I then laminate the whole page (laminated on both sides) and feed the printed laminated page back into my Maker to cut, this works perfectly, but ……… I would like to have a border of just the laminate around each bag tag so that it actually seals around the tag to make it more durable. I have not been able to find a hack or tutorial for this. The only other solution I can think of is to individually laminate each bag tag, which will be so time consuming. I hope this makes sense! I would love to be able to do all this on the Maker - perfect cut. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Ive been thinking about this for a while, and no immediate solution comes to mind unfortunately, but I will continue to think about it to see if I can think up a solution for you!
Wow love this video! Can you do this on a cricut joy extra? It doesn’t have a craft board setting to cut it the second time. What can you do instead?Thank you❤️
Thank you! Yes you can follow the exact same steps as I show in this video, just make the size of the rectangle to fit the size on your mat. You may be able to use the Medium cardstock setting! :)
@@KellyRossouw thank you so much :) I’m going to use oracal 651. I will try it with that setting. It will be for text, not a picture but I will use a little bit of the offset :)
Great tutorial! I'm trying to make helmet decals for a local football team without having to go and buy a Gerber edge type machine I'm not sure if I'm ready to get into that type of quality just yet. Wanna see if I can create a decent quality decal with cricut and durable printable vinyl. Does grafitech have a thicker printable vinyl that is of good durability that I could try or any other company that you can think of?
Thank you! This tutorial isnt meant for printable vinyl, you are looking for a print then cut tutorial for a Cricut. This is purely for regular sticker vinyl that is a single solid colour only :)
Thank you for sharing this video! Yours are by far the best on youtube. I am wanting to do some decals for a kayak / canoe. What type of vinyl do you think would work best. I have purchased oracle 210 a waterproof laminate that I’ve used for my sublimation stickers but just not sure if it’s necessary to do that way for a decal.
Thank you so much! Definitely waterproof or outdoor (651) vinyl. But be prepared to replace it sooner rather than later in any case, under harsh conditions not all vinyls will last forever! :)
You would need to either layer your decal, or use print then cut depending on the complexity of the design - neither of those are well suited to this method :)
Understood. For layering the decal, i know how to do that but I get confused on the cutting stages. How do you cut each layer for it to end up as the full decal in the end? If you have a video on this, can you send link? I tried searching but was unsuccessful. I bought all color material and the sticky transfer paper because i love how the end result looks in this video. Trying to achieve the same look but with multi color decal.
I thought the sticker was going to come out white , I'm confused how it came out with no background and just the words. In the beginning of video it had no white just words. I missed something
I'm new to this why did you use two colors at first, the black and the orange but the final product just comes out green? What if I wanted to make a decal with different colors in it?
They are two separate layers for the different cuts you need to make. First cut the vinyl, then weed it apply the transfer tape and then cut through everything!
Hi! These machines aren't printers, they cut out the designs from coloured sticker vinyl 😊 so if you want a white sticker, you need to cut your design out of white sticker vinyl!
Hi Everett! It is Cricut Design Space (it has had a facelift since this video, but remains largely the same!) and can be downloaded at: cricut.com/setup :)
@@KellyRossouw South Africa - Amazon delivers but waiting for postage takes a lot longer than locally and I assumed you were South African because of ZAGA. Oh and for Cricut
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I haven’t seen stickers being done this way so thanks for such an informative video! I just have one question (I think I’m being daft). So will the transfer tape be taken off after applying the decal (as you usually would) or does the transfer tape act almost like transparent vinyl, giving the decal a clear border? Does that make sense? Thank you so much! X
First time using my Maker 3 and making stickers in general. Combination of this tutorial and my experience in illustrator made it a success. Made a variety of complex design stickers in one go. Thanks!
when making your designs in illustrator, do you create a cutpath in illustrator or do you export the art from illustrator into cricut design space then make an offset cut path? I am having issues transferring illustrator art with my cut contour line into cricut design space, when cutting it cuts off the ends of the contour line : /
Want to clarify some terminology quick: printing means to use a printer to deposit ink onto a surface. A Cricut is not a printer, it is a cutter (plotter). With that in mind, you can use this method to cut any kind of adhesive vinyl (permanent or removable). If you want to print on printable vinyl (it must say printable otherwise it is not printable!), and you don't use transfer tape with it 😊 Hope that makes sense!
I'm surprised the cricut software doesnt have a feature where it will automatically maximize the layout space for a single design, i.e. group it in such a way so that you dont have to manually copy/paste them and align/squish them together.
So cool. But I’m still completely lost. I really need to get more immersed with my Cricut. I definitely went overboard buying materials. Thanks again for the video.
You can do it! Take it one step at a time, and pause the video at whatever section you need to understand - re-watch sections a few times if you want to grasp it. Move at a pace you are comfortable with and you got this! There is no rush 💙
Hello! 😊 I must have missed it 😅 but are the pressure settings for the 2nd cut (transfer tape, offset, weeded vinyl) the same as the first? Does it need more pressure or different material setting? Thank you! 🙏❤
Hello! I would suggest using a medium cardstock setting for the second pass, but this all depends on the vinyl you use. Some may have thicker backing sheets that need to be cut with more pressure! xx
You may be running an Operating System that doesnt support the offset feature. You can see more info here: help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009556033-System-Requirements-Design-Space
Tried to buy you some coffee a while ago, however Capitec are currently offline so i was unable to confirm the transaction from the online app. Will send coffee s once they back online. Just in case you get notice of the cancelation.
Excellent video as always thank you so much love your training. its great to learn something new with each of your videos. You really do explain things so well and it is so easy to follow. Just a note i ordered some items from Snippy Sisters as you had mentioned them in one of your videos. What AWESOME service, wow Robyn service is excellent . She personally delivered my items and give me a lots of advise about the different Vinyl products and options. This is a company i am so happy to support as a new small Business startup. Your channel has added such value to my learning thank you again. I am sure you are going to do so well in your new venture doing this full time.
The stickers appear to have a white background, but that is the transfer tape, correct? So when the sticker is applied, it is actually a CLEAR background? You have used clear sticker paper? Am I correct in my thinking?
Premium vinyl is a sitcker yes, you use transfer tape (a low tac sticky sheet just to move the vinyl sticker from the backing sheet to whatever you want to put it on to) :)
This is certainly a great tutorial. I plan to watch more of your videos and subscribed to your channel. Every time I have tried to place transfer tape on my vinyl and ship to to someone, it leaves residue on the vinyl when they remove it. I am using Oracal 651 vinyl and Cricut transfer tape. Fortunately I have not sold any of these items, they were sent as gifts. But do you have suggestions?
Ive only ever heard of this problem while using Cricut Transfer tape, its expensive and leaves a residue sometimes. I prefer to use tape on a roll as it is much cheaper and easier to work with, like this one for example (as the one i use isnt on Amazon) amzn.to/42W6Qvz
Love this tutorial and just subscribed. Thanks so much. I'm trying to work out in my head how this would work for a layered decal. I'm guessing it would be the same procedure with extra cutting steps in between the original and the offset. Would love to see how you do it 😉
I tried a very basic one and it worked fine. I cut the layer on a different mat and applied it to the main decal before cutting the transfer paper. I was going to send you a pic, but I can't figure out how to do that in UA-cam :( Thanks again for this awesome tutorial. It's going to be so useful.
Thats so amazing i always wondered how that works But i have a question what if you want a bigger vinyl sticker? Like a company logo and writings on the door of vehicle or on the side of van These stickers are bumper stickers very small what if you need alot bigger?
This method is aimed at those wanting to make more smaller stickers. If you are doing a much larger sticker, you can still use this same method, but it will need to be slightly adapted so you would be able to do this same method for a sticker up to 60cm/24" long. If you want to do a longer sticker you would not be able to use this same method as you would be using smart vinyl/the matless method
The white is the backing sheet of the vinyl, it is there to keep the adhesive covered and you remove it when you want to stick the decal onto something :) Its just the paper protective layer

What is the best weatherproof, fade proof, washable vinyl sticker sheet brands to use with Cricut systems?
This is quite a complicated one to answer! The majority of the Cricut permanent vinyls work beautifully (the non "fancy" ones eg holographic, shimmer etc). For other brands look for the Outdoor label - those are the ones that are rated to last longer outdoors under the sun and weather etc.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll probably rewatch this video several times 😅. I’m pretty sure we have the transfer tape, but no printable vinyl yet.
Such a clever idea! This method is just so practical for stickers and so much more. Thank you!
Thank you so much 💙
Loved your video as I do all of them. I am wondering though, what did you need the orange sheet for?
Thank you! It is the second cut you make to cut through the transfer tape and backing sheet of the vinyl :)
This is the best tutorial ever. I just bought an air 2 today. A used one for 100 bucks to see how it works. I’ll follow this to design my stickers.
Ahh thank you so much!! Very high praise xx Enjoy your new machine!
I'm new to this but thank you for an easy tutorial. Will give this a go tomorrow ☺️ x x

What type of cricut are you using
I used the Cricut Maker 3, but this will work on all Cricut machines!
I’m curious do you need to buy the transfer tape separately or did you say in the video that the transfer is already on the vinyl?
Transfer tape is sold seperately, and I added it after weeding the vinyl before the second cut :)
What vinyl were you talking about that already has transfer tape on it? GraphieTac? Where can I buy that at? Also how would that process work?
Does anyone have a recommended video for choosing which machine to buy?
I made a video to help you decide: ua-cam.com/video/no0EetxSUe8/v-deo.html
@@KellyRossouw Sweet! Thank you!
does it print white color? What kind of ink do you need? I don't understand
Hi! These machines aren't printers, they cut out the designs from coloured sticker vinyl 😊 so if you want a white sticker, you need to cut your design out of white sticker vinyl!

Can you print on any permenant vinyl? So they arent layed but more a less like any sticker youd get out of a rolls of kids stickers or something?
Want to clarify some terminology quick: printing means to use a printer to deposit ink onto a surface. A Cricut is not a printer, it is a cutter (plotter).

Hey I was just wondering what Vinyl material you said you used? thank you!
I used Cricut Permanent Vinyl and a normal Transfer tape (you can use any transfer tape)
I'm surprised the cricut software doesnt have a feature where it will automatically maximize the layout space for a single design, i.e. group it in such a way so that you dont have to manually copy/paste them and align/squish them together.
It does have this "feature", but its honestly really not good at all. It doesnt view the items space correctly so doing it manually is still faster!
So cool. But I’m still completely lost. I really need to get more immersed with my Cricut. I definitely went overboard buying materials. Thanks again for the video.
You can do it! Take it one step at a time, and pause the video at whatever section you need to understand - re-watch sections a few times if you want to grasp it. Move at a pace you are comfortable with and you got this! There is no rush 💙
Hello! 😊 I must have missed it 😅 but are the pressure settings for the 2nd cut (transfer tape, offset, weeded vinyl) the same as the first? Does it need more pressure or different material setting? Thank you! 🙏❤
Hello! I would suggest using a medium cardstock setting for the second pass, but this all depends on the vinyl you use. Some may have thicker backing sheets that need to be cut with more pressure! xx
What transfer tape do you use? Mine was not strong enough to use for a sticker
For standard vinyl I use standard transfer tape, for shimmer vinyl I use strong grip
Thank you for the tut.! Very informative. Am just getting into multilayer stickers and this is a big help!
Glad to hear it!
My design is saying the offset mode isn't available ? What am I doing wrong!? 😑
You may be running an Operating System that doesnt support the offset feature. You can see more info here: help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009556033-System-Requirements-Design-Space
Tried to buy you some coffee a while ago, however Capitec are currently offline so i was unable to confirm the transaction from the online app. Will send coffee s once they back online. Just in case you get notice of the cancelation.
Ah thank you so much Brian! I really appreciate it
Excellent video as always thank you so much love your training. its great to learn something new with each of your videos. You really do explain things so well and it is so easy to follow. Just a note i ordered some items from Snippy Sisters as you had mentioned them in one of your videos. What AWESOME service, wow Robyn service is excellent . She personally delivered my items and give me a lots of advise about the different Vinyl products and options. This is a company i am so happy to support as a new small Business startup. Your channel has added such value to my learning thank you again. I am sure you are going to do so well in your new venture doing this full time.
Aaaah thank you so much Brian! Im so so glad I was able to help you! Robyn truly is an absolute gem of a person, I couldnt live without her
The stickers appear to have a white background, but that is the transfer tape, correct? So when the sticker is applied, it is actually a CLEAR background?
You have used clear sticker paper? Am I correct in my thinking?
That is 100% correct yes!
Amazing video! Did you change blades at all or did you use the fine point blade for both cuts?
Thabk you so much! Used the fine point blade for it all 🥰
So premium vinyl is a sticker? I’m trying to figure out how to make a vinyl sticker for my truck window. How do you
Attach it to glass?
Premium vinyl is a sitcker yes, you use transfer tape (a low tac sticky sheet just to move the vinyl sticker from the backing sheet to whatever you want to put it on to) :)
Out of this world helpful!!! Thank you so very much 😊!
You're so welcome!
You have to be kidding! This is has Cricut 3 has created only more time and more expense!
I'm not sure what you mean 😊
how come every time i try to use the offset it tries to make me use 2 mats ?
Have you attached your offsets together?
I seemed to have lost your process lol. What happened with sheet 2 - the yellow labels?
You only need to cut that once you have weeded your full sheet of vinyl, and applied your transfer tape :) Its the last step in the process
Brooo the grouping and attachment usage is great!!!
haha thanks!
Great video! But I don’t get how you got black and white, did you stack black and white vinyl it before cutting it? Did I missed something here?
Thank you! There is no white vinyl, the white is the backing sheet and gets pulled away. This is a plain black vinyl decal/sticker.
@@KellyRossouw got it! Thank you for the explanation! 😊
Whats the printer name u mentioned all the things you used except printer plz provide a link and name also 😢
Hi! No printer is used for this. This is a Cricut machine which cuts coloured vinyl to make the stickers.
Ok ❤thanku 🥺❤love from Pakistan ❤
This is certainly a great tutorial. I plan to watch more of your videos and subscribed to your channel. Every time I have tried to place transfer tape on my vinyl and ship to to someone, it leaves residue on the vinyl when they remove it. I am using Oracal 651 vinyl and Cricut transfer tape. Fortunately I have not sold any of these items, they were sent as gifts. But do you have suggestions?
Ive only ever heard of this problem while using Cricut Transfer tape, its expensive and leaves a residue sometimes. I prefer to use tape on a roll as it is much cheaper and easier to work with, like this one for example (as the one i use isnt on Amazon) amzn.to/42W6Qvz
Thank you. @@KellyRossouw
great tutorial thank you so much ❤❤❤
You are so so welcome! Thank you for your kind words xx
Love this tutorial and just subscribed. Thanks so much. I'm trying to work out in my head how this would work for a layered decal. I'm guessing it would be the same procedure with extra cutting steps in between the original and the offset. Would love to see how you do it 😉
ooooh a challenge, I like a challenge ;) ill work on it and see if I can make a video about it :)
Excellent. I'll be watching. And waiting 🤞
Two attempts, two fails 😕 Never say die.
I tried a very basic one and it worked fine. I cut the layer on a different mat and applied it to the main decal before cutting the transfer paper. I was going to send you a pic, but I can't figure out how to do that in UA-cam :( Thanks again for this awesome tutorial. It's going to be so useful.
Do you use a regular blade for this or should I use a different blade?
Your standard fine point blade is needed to cut vinyl :)
Thats so amazing i always wondered how that works
But i have a question what if you want a bigger vinyl sticker? Like a company logo and writings on the door of vehicle or on the side of van
These stickers are bumper stickers very small what if you need alot bigger?
This method is aimed at those wanting to make more smaller stickers. If you are doing a much larger sticker, you can still use this same method, but it will need to be slightly adapted so you would be able to do this same method for a sticker up to 60cm/24" long. If you want to do a longer sticker you would not be able to use this same method as you would be using smart vinyl/the matless method
@@KellyRossouw ok and thank you for this video
Do you have to mirror the design
No you dont!
Where did the white background come from? Is it behind the green vinyl? Is it bought that way? Did you stick the green on the white?
The white is the backing sheet of the vinyl, it is there to keep the adhesive covered and you remove it when you want to stick the decal onto something :) Its just the paper protective layer
@@KellyRossouw oh ok. So once the sticker is applied the there is no more white. Do you have a video how to have a white background?
