How I Make Sticker Sheets | Using Procreate & Cricut to Make Stickers Tutorial

[@motivateinspire1]

👏 woo! I love this. No gatekeeping. Very comprehensive. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@PegzieBean]

8:20 The washi tape cut will do a "kiss cut" so to ensure that your background is fully cut out of the sticker paper then you will have to duplicate the background 3x (going from what Fructus did). This will have the cricut machine cut multiple times around the boarder to ensure it is fully cut. Edit: Seeing how you did the outline on each sticker was so helpful!

[@tamzenhunter1681]

Thankyou for this! I was just about to come In the comments and ask if anyone knew the best way to kiss cut the stickers and cut the whole sticker sheet out at the same time ❤

[@PegzieBean]

@tamzenhunter1681 I hope it made sense 😅 you may have to duplicate the background 4-5x.

[@tamzenhunter1681]

@@PegzieBean it did! Thankyou!

I don’t understand this 😭

Sticker sheets have always terrified me, you've explained this in such a simple way, great tutorial ❤

[@fructusillustrations]

Yeah I used to avoid them because it seemed to scary and complicated haha but I hope this helps! 😊♥

[@DinosaurWithAUkulele]

My jaw is on the floor watching you copy mulitple layers from one canvas to another, WE CAN DO THAT??? WHAT??!!

Been using procreate for two years, I never knew that was thing 😂 So glad to see it!

SAAAAAAMMMME!!!!😂

[@lissalemonscrafts]

Sameeeee ☠️

[@phonesallbroken]

Figured I'd mention for anyone else reading; the printer is not printing in RGB, it is still printing in CMYK. It has just converted to CMYK and then uses the additional settings to adjust the colours further to the user's preference. Not all colours that can be displayed by a computer monitor can be printed, hence why it is often better to work in CMYK in the first place! Things may still need adjusting for print, but at least you won't inadvertently end up using an out of gamut colour that can't be matched by the printer! I'm sure personal preference also comes into play. It's really interesting seeing all the Cricut related things in this video! I have a Silhouette (and this is what I would recommend to people as it's a lot more flexible and offers more control, especially with the software) but still like watching sticker videos of people using different hardware to me to see what tips I can pick up! Thank you for this video! I really love how these sheets turned out, and the designs are adorable

[@MySwatchOrama]

This is absolutely the most complete and easy to follow video I’ve ever watched on sticker sheets. You are the hero we all needed. Thank you!

Thank you so much for showing the COMPLETE process including the print settings. That really helped me alot!

[@LabcraftStudio]

12:30 hey, Jen, great video! Just a quick tip that I discovered: you can actually wash the Cricut mats in soap and water to remove residue, which will greatly improve the stickiness.

[@fructusillustrations]

Great tip! Thanks! I will try that out because I really don't like using all that tape!

This is SO helpful. I love that you include designing a sticker sheet along with the printing and cutting.

[@jessieewith2es851]

Watched this tutorial so much to help start my own sticker business. Little too for the cricut make sure you wash your mats with water and soap and let air dry frequently. Help preserve the sticky

[@fructusillustrations]

That's a great idea! Will have to try that out soon!

[@MarBay13]

Thank you for much for making this video! Every single step is clear and well explained :)

[@heyemilydee]

Very helpful in depth video! Thanks for sharing ❤ I’m curious to know much each material cost when you created the sticker sheet? From the printer, to paper, the cricut and any other materials you need. I’ve been sending my designs to a company for them to make my stickers, but I’m leaning towards making my own stickers 😊

May i ask what sticker paper you use for this? Ive been using a glossy + laminate style for my decals but would be curious to know what your preferences are for sticker sheet specific!

[@nailchronicleswithchitchat4455]

Excellent video!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@tashag416]

Thank you! This is very informative. But I noticed you created in Procreate using RGB. I always thought we had to use CMYK if we are going to print.

[@fructusillustrations]

Typically yes that is the rule for printing. However, my printer can handle RGB and I prefer the colors with this color profile so that's why I use it. 😊

[@LynSantiago78]

Thank you for this video, you made it easy to understand. 🙏👏🏽

[@fructusillustrations]

Yayy! I'm so happy to hear that! ♥♥♥

[@frafran_art_]

I love the tutorial, very easy to understand!! Im having a problem, tho 😭 I follow the cutting process exactly how you did, but my machine only keeps cutting the background and doesn't cut the stickers inside. I try different techniques, but it keeps doing it wrong

[@fructusillustrations]

Hmm maybe try uploading the files again and double check that you are doing "print then cut" on both the stickers and the background when you upload the files separately 😊 And make sure you only group or attach your layers. Do not flatten! Hope this helps!

[@frafran_art_]

Yes, I was doing it like that. I think it is really weird that it is not working. I tried another method after, and it kinda work but the cut wasn't perfect 😅 Anyways, thank you for replying. I recently found your channel, and I love your content relaxing and inspiring ✨️💜

[@DittoDance]

This video has been immensly helpful, thank you! i was just wondering what size canvas you design the stickers themselves on?

[@fructusillustrations]

For stickers sheets, I use a 4.5 x 6 inch canvas :)

[@myhappylittlethings2382]

Hi Jen, for the part where you show the sticker design, whats the canvas size? I noticed that it didnt pixelate when you transfer them to the sheet and adjust them. Thanks! 😊 hope you can read my comment. Love the video. Been looking for a tutorial like this. Next is for the border layout you made. I will find tutorials on how to do that. 😂

[@fructusillustrations]

On procreate, the canvas size is 4.5 x 6 inches or 1350 x 1800 pixels at 300 DPI. In the Cricut design space, I then just size it back to 4.5 x 6 inches because it gets really big when you import it 😊

[@lattydesu1285]

This is the best tutorial I've watched also I have epson 2800 so I am so confused on what kind of paper sticker I can use? Also what sticker paper i can use if the ink is sublimation? 🫠

[@Katinkia]

Excellent video which I followed today but I am not having the options to do the colour profiles where you do the +10 to the colours and choose 'vivid'? I am using a MacBook.

[@fructusillustrations]

I have an epson printer so I'm not sure if you're using something different but you can try deleting your printer and re-adding it

[@zoelmn3906]

I just got my cricut a few days ago, so this video really helped me understanding Cricut Design Space a bit better. However, I cannot cut the outline of the sticker. I followed exactly as you did, and only the outside of the sticker sheet gets printed, but not the actual sticker borders. The only difference is that I only use my iPad, both to draw and to run Cricut Design Space. Could it be the reason ? It looks so easy for everyone and i really don’t get why it doesn’t work for me :(( Does anyone else has/had the same problem ?

[@mrs.quills7061]

I appreciate this!! I make die cuts, but was wondering how sheets would work. I’m glad you told us the size too, cricut expanded their space since the last update, but I didn’t know what size to make so it will resize properly. I hate that cricut blows everything up! Also, may I ask what type of paper you use for sheets? I also should look into my color management settings, I’ve always but a bit scared to use them, but often my stuff prints too dark and not saturated enough.

[@fructusillustrations]

Glad this video was helpful! I used HTV Ront Matte printable vinyl for these sticker sheets! 😊

[@LanavanLeeuwen]

Thank you so much for this

[@SteadyResolve]

Wow you didn’t have to fill in the outlines once you turned off the sticker layer?

[@koushi528]

Hey jen loved the video and how you explained. May i know what is the size of sheet on which you made separate stickers?

[@fructusillustrations]

The sticker paper is letter sized or 8.5 inches x 11 inches. I can fit 2 sticker sheets per page 😊

[@pencadoremio]

This is really cool! Thank you, will definitely check out the shop 😊 How do you deal with ink costs, though? Isn't it too expensive/printer needs to be refilled constantly?

[@fructusillustrations]

I have an epson ecotank printer and it uses ink bottles instead of ink cartridges so its very long lasting. I've had my printer for over a year and I've only had to refill the ink once!

[@Bekah_Lauren]

Great video!

[@WizArt85]

With the same cutting settings work if you using laminate, I want to create laminated holographic sticker sheets, and I’m a little bit worried that the regular settings for creating sticker sheets won’t work for laminated stickers because I have created laminated holographic stickers and kiss cut but not sticker sheets and I don’t want to cut too deep an the sticker comes off. This has been a headache.

[@JessCantellDesign]

This was amazing! I love that you did the clipping mask for the sticker outlines 😊

[@fructusillustrations]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@eroclassic96]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I’d like to ask when do you think it’s necessary to laminate the stickers after printing? Thanks again.

[@fructusillustrations]

I only laminate my individual stickers because I expect those to be used on various surfaces that are subject to more wear. So I laminate them to be more protected. I don't laminate sticker sheets because I expect those to be used in notebooks and journals. Deciding when you want to laminate is entirely up to you though! 🐻♥

[@eroclassic96]

[@Kenzzwag]

This video is so helpful!! I’m doing exactly what you have done but my cricut is still only cutting out the background square and not the individual stickers, any tips?!

[@fructusillustrations]

Are you uploading the stickers and the background separately? If so, make sure that they are both set to print and cut. And don't merge the layers in the Cricut Design Space. You want to only group or attach them.

[@irhadog2392]

Hi Fructus, I've been trying to print stickers for fun but I keep running into the problem of my sticker paper jamming a lot - is it because of my sticker paper because it's new? I've made sure to try and feed my sticker paper 1 by 1 as well as fanning them, but it will still randomly jam, it makes making stickers not as fun because I feel like it's 70% troubleshooting and 30% having the stickers come out right :(

[@fructusillustrations]

[@going_feral_]

Just a quick question. I watched the one you did for the individual sticker (I loved it and it was very helpful btw), but I noticed you don't laminate your sticker sheets. Why? (I'm sorry if that's a stupid question. I've never done anything like this and I'm just curious) Thank you for the videos! They are so awesome and helpful, Thank you!

[@fructusillustrations]

I chose not to laminate my sticker sheets because the intended use for these kinds of stickers are for planners or notebooks. Getting the cut settings right is very tricky with sticker sheets too. It's not impossible but this is what I decided to do :)

[@kanyewest5722]

Love your videos. What ink do you use?

[@fructusillustrations]

Thanks! I use the epson ink that is recommended by the manufacturer 😊

[@lindahodgdon9606]

Great tutorial. I have had my Cricut Maker machine for 3 years and never dared to make some stickers. I understand everything except for one thing. When I am in Procreat and going around my stickers with white and using the script brush with the stabilization settings of Max and Stabalization to Max . I then go around my sticker and my line does not come out even around my sticker. I know I must be doing something wrong but can't figure it out.

[@fructusillustrations]

My suggestion would be to go slowly. Sometimes going slow is helpful to get a consistent outline.You could also turn on the brush cursor to see how big the brush is and maybe that could help with outlines. To turn it on go to Actions > Prefs > Brush cursor

[@journeywithjeffrey]

How does cricut know to just cut the planets? Is there a step im missing? Do you not flatten the layers? Anyways great video!

[@fructusillustrations]

There are 2 files you share to cricut design space. When you upload them into cricut design space, you select the option "print then cut" this tells cricut that you want the images to be printed and cut. In your canvas, once you align everything, you click "attach." This doen't flatten the layers. This just tells cricut that you want to keep the layout your currently have on your canvas. The cricut cuts around the planets and the whole sticker sheet but because it is set to a lighter cut pressure it doesn't cut through the whole sheet. That's why I use a paper cutter at the end. I hope this clears that up for you 😊
