Gosh, I was really hoping that you would show how to create the white border around your sticker image. Is this covered in another video? Thanks so much. New subscriber here.

[@CreativelyErica]

I just briefly show how I did this. I just outlined the sticker design in white on Procreate before uploading to Cricut Design Space. Definitely want to make more videos going more into depth on the designing process and how to use Procreate.

[@alvaluzaviles]

I already have my own sticker. I laminated it and need to upload to cut it. How do I do that?

[@nicolehenderson6925]

Thank you so much for doing this!! I am such a visual person. Perfectly done

[@cristianmedel1696]

You said you can only print and cut 6.5x7 is that the minimum or maximum?

[@utopiagizowski4863]

New subscriber - new to Cricut. Enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing. Is this program only for Apple products.

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks! Nope, you can use it on any computer and most tablets.

[@MsHolloween1]

Omg y1ou are so good.Tyvm for sharing. But so confused still I'm fairly new to design space. I was asked to make memorial sticker for a very dear friend who past I never made stickers let alone designe my own it's a very very simple desgine but can't get design space ro work for me can bring image upvbut that's it I was wondering if I can get help ot talk me through it I don't want to ask but I need help maybe a step by step vidio something tuvm in advance

[@Sir_Sketch-a-lot]

Thank you so much this was very helpful. I find that when I do print and cut through the cricut that the designs print out less crisp than if I print the design straight from illustrator. This is frustrating because I know I have to use the cricut software so that it can make that black outline and cut correctly. Have you ever run into a print quality problem? Any tips? thank you so much.

[@cristianmedel1696]

What printer do u use?

[@brownskinbeauty]

I use silhouette studio. You can’t edit sticker on iPad just computer. Sad cause I just purchase a iPad Pro 11 inch. Which I absolutely love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Great video

[@CreativelyErica]

Good to know! Not sure what kind of computer you have but if you have an Apple, you can always save your files on your iPad and access them on your computer using iCloud. But, I used to use a HP so I would just upload my file to Google Drive on my iPad and download them on my HP. I love my iPad too, one of the best investments I've made for my business. Thanks for the support!

[@brownskinbeauty]

Painted Gypsy Design I have a Mac book pro 2020. That I also just purchased. I love apple products

[@OteyToTravel]

If you save your image in procreate with no background and outline in white and save as a PNG you should be able to upload to Cricut w/out having to erase the background. I figured that out by accident. :)

[@CreativelyErica]

Ooooh will definitely be trying that!! Thanks so much!!

[@OteyToTravel]

@@CreativelyErica For sure! Let me know how it goes. It saves me a couple steps.

[@GhoulCat]

Omg THANK YOU! NO TUTORIAL HAS WORKED FOR ME. SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND NOTHING WORKED EXCEPT THIS COMMENT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! now I can FINALLY make ALL the stickers I want!!

[@kaylavaligura4290]

New subscriber here! Love these videos as they are so helpful. I just got a Cricut and am so excited to learn and try out some of these projects. But I have to ask, where is your iPad Case from!?!?!? I absolutely love it!

[@CreativelyErica]

Thank so much! I got it from Etsy seller called KangoorooDesign

[@rasheloesterling5621]

I'm a little late to the party. Do you happen to suggest another app for us non apple users??

[@tonig1789]

Hi there ! Do you know how to create stickers using photoshop or illustrator and any other ways to print without cricut?

[@CreativelyErica]

So the only way your cricut can cut an image is to upload as a print then cut and print on your printer using the cricut design space. If you were to upload an image and just hit cut, I lt would cut the outline out but wouldn't have the image and wouldn't cut it correctly. I don't think there's a way around that. Maybe with another cutting machine/software

[@alejandrasolis-perez438]

Where did you get the blue stencil that you are tracing? Or did you draw that as well? Also which procreate brushes do you use? Thanks!!

[@CreativelyErica]

I drew that as well. For that one I basically used one of the basic pen brushes and just dropped in the color.

[@reesealva5295]

Great videos! Are you able to do cricut cutting from an iPad? Or do you have to get that done on your laptop?

[@CreativelyErica]

You can use your iPad. However, the design space is formatted different and you lose functions when using the iPad.

[@rydenroam5551]

Do you always in process have to print and cut? Or can you just cut your image?

[@CreativelyErica]

If you skip the print step it'll just cut out the shape of your design but it would just be white because it wasn't printed on.

[@rydenroam5551]

@@CreativelyErica it’s just a word that I’m printing on a chrome vinyl sticker. I tried it and it ripped it, also I noticed that the sticker was very thin. Should I have made the pressure a little lighter or would it be that the blade is dull and needs to be changed? Thank you for your response.

[@CreativelyErica]

@@rydenroam5551 are you trying to make the entire word out of the chrome vinyl or are you printing the word on the chrome (and then cutting) so it has a chrome background? I just wanna make sure I'm understanding. In any case, unfortunately most metallic vinyls are super thin and rip very easily. You could change your cutting pressure but you may have to cut around 2x. As far as the blade, I rarely ever replace mine, just get some foil, ball it up loosely and stick the blade in and out a few times and it will sharpen it right up.

[@PlainAndChelsea]

is it possible to draw on procreate without an apple pencil? my ipad is older and isnt compatible. :/ but i want to make stickers without buying a new ipad lol

[@CreativelyErica]

Yes, it's just a lot harder. You may be able to use another type of stylus to make it easier but not sure what the capabilities are with procreate. Also, look into other apps like Adobe Illustrator to draw out some stickers.

[@lylahintz4925]

Yes it is definitely an option, just very difficult

[@lizharrell2865]

I thought we should save as png instead of jpg?

[@amixxx820]

What pens do you use

[@CreativelyErica]

I only design on my iPad pro so I just use the apple pencil.

[@amixxx820]

@@CreativelyErica sorry I meant pens on procreate like the brushes which are your favorite! Xx

[@ParlayPresh]

Did this SHOW you how to design the sticker? Maybe I am not getting it. Totally possible 😬

[@CreativelyErica]

I just showed the replay of the drawing I did for that sticker design. I draw all of my stickers using Procreate on my iPad then upload to cricut to cut out as stickers.

[@Violet_dogofficial]

So for the stickers you draw free hand?

[@AtinaEstrella]

Another question: Procreate is not free? Can you show app design to know I select correct one? Thanks

[@CreativelyErica]

It's $10 but totally worth it! I use this to make all of my stickers, prints, youtube thumbnails, stationary for my business, etc. Here's the link: apps.apple.com/us/app/procreate/id425073498

[@uniqueadamssupremacy2749]

I use ibisPaint to create what I want my stickers to be although I haven’t made the stickers yet it’s pretty easy to design it on ibisPaint

[@Crushingonyou248]

So basically I need to know how to at least draw before I can design huh? I mean other than stick people 🤷 🙄

[@CreativelyErica]

I meannnn, the more artistically inclined, the easier it'll be for you. BUT, let's say you have really pretty handwriting- you could totally make stickers with words/phrases. Even if you didn't have pretty handwriting, you can download different fonts. You could also purchase and download digital artwork. Some artist will only charge a one time fee but you can only resell on products up to whatever number (typically its like 1,000). Some will sell you the design and the rights to it so you can use however much you want. Check Fiver and Etsy for digital artists/downloadables. Hope this helps!
