Oh wow Lydia, thank u, thank u, thank u!!!! Like the lady in previous comments I have tried quite a few of other folks tutorial, most of them have many many more followers than you, and just couldn’t follow to get a successful project done, but thankfully saw yours, and read the comments and most certainly agree that you have a fantastic, simple, straightforward way of describing this process, which resulted in a successful project for me!!!!!! Honestly was seriously considering selling my cricut, but gonna keep at it, and you’ve def got a new subscriber!!!! Thank you so much again kxx

Thank you for making it sooo clean and cut for me to understand.

[@allisonsil03]

This is THE BEST video! I am so new to this and you have helped me understand so much! THANK YOU!!!!

[@susannutting8967]

Thank you! This video was so helpful - I’ve been able to make personalized stickers for my home baked goodie packaging! Can’t wait to design some for the holidays!

[@nancyeding4924]

Incredibly helpful. Learned many things from this one video. Thanks.

[@tiffanysherman4476]

I have watched about 4 or 5 other sticker videos before I found yours and this one was the best. I watched it a few times and was able to make the stickers I needed. I tried to do it for a second set of stickers but method doesn't work. Thank you for your video.

[@LydiaWatts]

Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@jenniferfletcher5425]

Thank you. Been trying to figure it out for hours.

[@jenniferfletcher5425]

Except it cut right through the whole sticker paper.

[@cristinaoliva3134]

Thank you so much!

How do get the black box so the register marks are picked up. I get them to print but can’t get mine to cut says no registration marks. Thanks

[@LydiaWatts]

You'll need to go through the troubleshooting steps: help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009426434-I-m-getting-an-error-that-the-machine-cannot-read-the-cut-sensor-marks. If you are still having trouble, you'll need to call Cricut.

[@pink.ivy87]

What sticker paper did you use? Nice work.

[@LydiaWatts]

Thank you. I used Cricut Printable Clear Sticker Paper. I have a supply list with links to the products I used in my post: lydiawatts.com/2020/09/20/how-to-make-print-then-cut-stickers-in-cricut-design-space/.

[@pink.ivy87]

@@LydiaWatts .Thanks a zillion!!

[@jewel6646]

So one has to print the design with a printer before using the cricut?

[@LydiaWatts]

Yes, print then cut uses your home printer to print the design and the Cricut cuts the design out.

[@jewel6646]

Thanks 😊

[@jf6720]

As soon as I flatten it gets rid of the circle and cuts the image I put inside! What am I doing wrong?

[@LydiaWatts]

It’s hard to say without seeing your design. Your background image must be completely solid. Make sure you have all the layers selected, including the background image, before you flatten. Your layers panel should contain one flattened set.

[@SAsanchez86]

How would I save it, so I can go to office Depot and have them printed there .. so I can just bring home and cut.

[@LydiaWatts]

You would need to choose "Save to PDF" or "Print to PDF" in the system dialog box when printing.

[@jewel6646]

Thanks 😊

[@Msxrevelation]

How is it that your ink doesn’t rub off your stickers

[@LydiaWatts]

I use printable sticker paper. There’s a link in the description to my blog post which has a supply list.

[@mabouch3823]

Thanks for the video, i tried this with my logo but it either prints the background or cuts my logo! Please help me

[@LydiaWatts]

If it is cutting the logo, you haven't flattened to a solid background. If you don't want a background, you need to put a solid white shape behind it, select all the layers, and flatten.

[@mabouch3823]

@@LydiaWatts thanks alot i will try again

[@santanaking8814]

Where did you get the clear paper from

[@LydiaWatts]

The clear sticker paper is from Cricut. There's a link in my blog post: lydiawatts.com/2020/09/20/how-to-make-print-then-cut-stickers-in-cricut-design-space/.

[@santanaking8814]

@@LydiaWatts thanks so much!

[@dthomascful]

Watched this because I wanted to know how to tell which side is printable.. Would have been nice to see you show how you knew..

[@LydiaWatts]

The images are printed on the shiny side of the paper. I talk about this in my blog post. The link is in the video description.

[@dthomascful]

Thank you.. the cricut brand seems very thick and hard. What do you recommend for a softer, more pliable material?

[@LydiaWatts]

@@dthomascful I've only ever used the Cricut clear sticker paper because I like the quality. If you are using regular white sticker paper, there are lots of options on Amazon. You may have to experiment with a few brands to find one you like.

[@dthomascful]

@@LydiaWatts thank you for your time!

[@barbra429]

For some reason when I flatten text it comes out not as bright and bold it comes out more dull and faded looking anyone know why this might be happening

[@LydiaWatts]

The brightness of your printed image will depend on your printer and the material you are printing on. Printing on matte material, such as cardstock, will result in a more muted look. Images printed on vinyl, glossy sticker paper, and glossy photo paper will be brighter.

[@barbra429]

@@LydiaWatts Thank you

[@robira1313]

Not getting it. What is this "clear sticker paper"? Do I put that on the mat and it cuts that? You were doing fine up until you were finished with design space - then you lost me.

[@LydiaWatts]

Did you go to my blog post? The link is in the description, and I'll put it here too: lydiawatts.com/2020/09/20/how-to-make-print-then-cut-stickers-in-cricut-design-space/. There's a link to the clear sticker paper in the post. Print then cut uses your home printer to print and the Cricut to cut. You place the printed sticker paper on the mat and the Cricut cuts it.

[@barbra429]

The clear printable setting didn't cut through my paper :(

[@LydiaWatts]

You wouldn’t want to use that setting on paper. It’s for the Cricut clear printable sticker sheets. It won’t cut all the way through. It will do a “kiss cut” - cutting through the top layer and leaving the backing sheet intact.

[@barbra429]

@@LydiaWatts yes, that's what I used, the clear for a kiss cut, but I got it figured out, thanks

[@rlife5132]

When I print on paper The ink does not dry What is the problem 🥺🥺 ?

[@LydiaWatts]

You probably have your sticker paper upside down.
