how i format my sticker sheets for production ☆

wahoo!! i hope y'all enjoy this video - i'm very proud of it and i hope it helps y'all out in some way or another!!
*note: if you do indeed cut out your stickers yourself using a silhouette or cricut program, this is a great method for laying out the sticker sheets before bringing it in to that software. illustrator is ur friend !!!
i used to print and cut all my stickers for my sticker shop at home, using 3 silhouette portrait machines, but my shop started growing in a way that i could no longer keep up with by making everything by hand at home. so! i started outsourcing my sticker production this time last year - through a lot of trial and error, this is the process i've landed on for formatting my sticker sheets to send off to said printing companies so they turn out spiffy and lovely!
✧˖° here are the timestamps for all the instruction panels, in case you want a quick breakdown of each step of the process:
• 8:05 - how to add a white fill layer behind your stickers
• 9:57 - how to copy designs from photoshop to illustrator
• 12:35 - how to prepare your file for cutlines // i recently learned that you can hit command + shift + v to place the second layer exactly over the first!! i told you i am very much an illustrator novice
• 15:39 - how to make cutlines in illustrator
• 22:05 - how to add embellishments

I've learned to not take my sticker collection for granted.

[@joeysnowy4110]

i LOVE bernadette banner my recommended videos are literally filled with her... i could watch her fell stitches for hours. her voice is so fun

[@jlin592]

unanys joe I’ve recently started watching her and EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS SO TRUE

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

Omg me too! I love her ❤️

[@Joopis]

When you're selecting your images at 6:31, there's an easier way to do this. Hold ctrl+click the tiny thumbnail of your layer in the layers tab and it'll select everything on that layer. That way you can fill with white easier and you won't need to tediously magic wand everything.

[@edieryan-law2746]

Cheyenne: shop update is on November 10th!!! Editing Cheyenne: I cannot emphasise enough how wrong you are

[@itis9]

I saw your video for the first time several month ago. The mood in the video and color were all my favorites. These days, if i feel depressed or anxious, come and find your video. Your video makes me happy. My English is terrible because I am Korean. But I hope that my message will be conveyed. I love u!🖤

[@barracagodofredojr.c.6817]

Noooo sweetheart, your English is just fine. Bless your heart. ❤️

I love your style of filming💖 it’s so calming and peaceful💖 your such an inspiration to me💖

It's always a good day when you post a video. Thank you for cheering up my week with your wonderful voice and brilliant aesthetic. Enjoy your tea!

[@rileyurquhart2071]

It’s so nice to see a video and artwork that seems to have so much joy behind its creation-I’m so thankful you shared this

[@marieunuka22]

Omg this whole time I’ve been driving myself mad because of the outlines of my images... I’ve always thought to myself that I want my lines to be sharp and crisp! So just then I’ve just learnt how to sharpen my image and thought I was doing fine... until I saw your video I was like wth lmao my whole issue was worrying about the textures of my stickers when I could’ve just created a cut line for all my designs and that would’ve made my life soooo much easier like.....5 months ago!? You’re a life saver Cheyenne AND Jordan, i love both your designs and tutorials seriously! Life saver!

[@caitlinmariereacts]

i understand nothing about, well... anything you just said, but i always watch your videos anyway because they're so calming and aesthetic and beautiful!!! thank you for your amazing content!

[@LauraFelicia]

I’m so glad that you’re doing better! & I’m glad that you’re doing well & back! I love watching your videos & seeing your illustrations!

[@annphetamiine3315]

Wow, I watched this video so I can learn how to do some stickers and I finished crying because you are so cute. Literally, I love you work so much that makes me wanna be more like you. Please don't stop fighting, you're amazing.

[@annekalane]

Yay! A new Cheyenne video! My day just got a whole lot better :) Much love to you xx

[@alwayshaylie4979]

watching you fix the anchor points of ur cutlines is so extremely satisfying.. love seeing all the hard work you put into it!! super satisfying and love seeing the process✨

[@saraisosa7137]

Hi! I’m never this early so, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! I play them on repeat when I’m doing work. Thank you for keeping me company while I do work!

[@laqueenie_art]

Hi Cheyenne, this was a great overview of how you create your sticker sheets. I'm a graphic designer, so I understood everything you said. I'm glad you're feeling better. Keep up the great work!

[@PB-cx5nz]

You are so genuine. I have not been feeling well,the last few days and your video inspired me to keep going. Thank you for sharing this video🙏🏼

[@scorpiolore]

I can’t wait to start doing my own sticker sheets in the future also can’t wait to purchase some holiday things from your shop when it updates so excited !!!!

[@adrienk7186]

this video was so professionally edited and just so impressive to me as a fan of you and your business journey! it is so very kind and generous to spill some of your magical art wizardry tips with us!

[@samanthaleemoquin3630]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I was so overwhelmed trying to make my first sticker sheet, all while being fairly new to Illustrator myself, and I couldn’t find the answers I needed anywhere. Everything I found explained it in ways that were over my head, including several Skillshare videos that weren’t answering my specific questions. Googling was turning up nothing, mainly because I didn’t even know what terms I needed to search. I was at the end of my patience and thinking of just forgoing sticker sheets for now, when I somehow luckily stumbled upon your video. It addresses every single question I had, and even explains some things I didn’t know I needed to know. It also pointed me in the right direction to have them printed, as I didn’t realise StickerApp (who I use for most single stickers) required additional bleed even on transparent designs, which really would have thrown off my entire sheet. Thank you so much for saving my inept butt. I’ve been binging your videos ever since. Hope you don’t stop creating them anytime soon, they’re of breath of fresh air. 💜🌿

[@christinacarrasco7080]

The Silhouette Cameo changed my life. It changed my sticker game dramatically. No more messing around with backgrounds and cut lines. Hallelujah!

[@saritagomezita]

omg the things you are saying are totally making sense. i'm making stickers for the first time and this was sooooo helpful. thank you i love your work :)

[@jennhello2522]

thank you for sharing your sticker-making process. so much work goes into arranging the release of your products and it's all very appreciated!!! I wish you luck on all your creative endeavors. Love you!!! 💖

[@lauren-ph6nu]

[@Adi-tt5ox]

This video is crazily informative and you're a really fun teacher :) Thanks for sharing your process, it's amazing how many steps and how much time goes into making stickers but the finished product looks SO great! YOU are brilliant, and I hope you're enjoying your January off

[@trevorwestin2545]

Bernadette Banner is awesome! A while back, I got super interested in fashion and found her. I binged all of her videos and still can’t get enough. Thanks for sharing this with us! Hoping to get into making stickers sometime soon.

[@sporgus2911]

I think you're definitely my comfort youtuber 🥺 all your videos are so helpful and idk it makes me feel calmer and less overwhelmed about figuring out how to do confusing art shop things ✨

[@oliviajoy3501]

Your videos are so calming and creative. I love your style and how hard working you are, you inspire my creative side. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@GiannaChalmers]

God this is the cutest intro, house decor, editing and person. Thank you for helping me open an Etsy shop now that I know how to make my stickers!

[@tate6554]

Thank you soo much for taking the time to film this! It seriously helped me out so much!! I watched a bunch of videos before yours and wasn't figuring out how to create those die lines with just an illustration thats not vectorized! tyty

[@dwiayusilawati7436]

been searching for this kind of rare tutorial, thanks Chey !

[@Razz_ace]

BIG INFORMATION HELP! Thank you, sorry I yelled. I learned so much; from the boo boo lasso in the beginning, to the words of you saying you take a long time arranging and cleaning up your stickers (because I thought I was doing something wrong when I took too long doing mine), you are so much help. I wish you an abundance of sales for sharing your knowledge.

[@bhanka94]

Omg you were exactly what I needed today! I was wondering how to lay out my first ever sticker designs and you saved the day T.T

[@kariphilipp3959]

Hi Cheyenne! I absolutely love your videos they have brought me peace during a time when I’ve been grappling with who I am and what I want to do with my art career 🌸💕 you’ve inspired me to try to experiment with art & stickers to get started on freelance work 💅🏻 you are incredibly relatable and I hope you keep doing what you’re doing - Abel

[@berkleynisson9654]

[@darakellyy]

Your approach to your production is great!

[@itnoy4538]

I actually gasped at 19:04 because we have the same background. Cute stickers! Thanks for showing the process. Even more appreciative now that we see all the little nit gritty parts you have to do.

[@amandayeh5211]

Wow, you make it look so easy and quick! Makes me want to make my own stickers! Very inspirational!! :))

[@olesya2467]

Oh my god, that's sooo useful, I always felt really awkward making those cutlines. Now I know an easier way to do it 😄 Thank you soo much! 💛

[@IsThisMay]

Hi Cheyenne, happy to hear you're doing better! I hope you find a way to take things easy while getting back to it all, and sending love and light your way! Literally watched this even though I don't even have the slightest idea of how to use any of the software just because I enjoy your videos so much hahah, they always calm me down and leave me feeling inspired! ✨ (btw I wanted to thank you for an order I placed one or two months ago!! Couldn't reach out to you to thank you because I decided to delete instagram butttt thank you very much 💛) Anyway, I'm very happy you're doing better, best of luck in everything coming your way!

[@TheMojcaa]

Haven't been using AI for ages and needed a tutorial for sticker cut lines... this has been extremely helpful, thank you Cheyenne!

[@noen3978]

wow, watching this went by fast. (didn't notice it was 28 minutes) thank you for sharing your process, chey. i learned so much today! ♥ also: the miter limit at 15:10 is for how much the lines can extend past the original ones. this one is useful for stickers that are pointy, and if you set *joins* as Miter. if you increase this, it allows your stickers to be pointy instead of having chopped off corners. just in case you or someone might need them in the future. ^^

[@toribian98]

what I need is a video on how you edit!!! I love it!!

[@cheyennebarton]

i'll put it on the list!

[@toribian98]

@@cheyennebarton Sweet!! Also quick question: do you think getting an iPad with 32 gbs is too small?

[@cheyennebarton]

@@toribian98 i got the 128 gb one and i've barely used half of that (and that's tbh just bc i synced my 25k photos from my iphone onto it alkdjfasdf) so i definitely don't think 32 gbs is too small!! and with the wonders of cloud storage, if need be you can shuffle things over to google drive xx

[@toribian98]

cheyenne barton ah amazing thank you! You’re seriously so so helpful :)) final question: which version of the pencil do you have??

[@frandiabdiputra2878]

Over all I love the color and the way you talk, great opening so inspiring me. thanks

[@toonyongzi8356]

Love the aesthetics✨☁️🌟💕

[@deoko1]

again, I know this is an old vlog. but a tip for making your cutlines. after you have that image trace and expand it and make all the round corners, you can set it up as a stroke - then send it to the back of your drawing and increase the stroke until you get the size you want. after that go to object + expand and then delete what you are not gonna use with the white arrow selection tool. (not sure if I'm explaining this correctly sorry)

Everything is cute!!! Live the teapot and the sugar container. 😘😘😍😍plus the text.

Hi Cheyenne! I don't know much about procreate or illustrator, but I'm always in the mood to watch one of your videos :) I feel like if we lived in the same town and somehow met, we would be friends. I hope you continue to heal from your colitis, and that the holiday season goes well for you! A break is a good thing to look forward to as well! A friend has been trying to get me to borrow one of their Zelda games, and I've never played it either...maybe I'll have to finally try it!

It's been a bit since I used illustrator, but I'm pretty sure if you hold shift when pasting it will paste directly on top of what you copied that way you don't have to realign.

i'll try out your tea recipe lol! i know it's really simple and something a lot of people would find common sense, but i always tend to add too much milk or too much sugar to my tea. i always end up getting a stomach ache when the right amount of everything isn't added :') thanks!!
