How to make Cricut Joy Xtra Stickers

[@jamietipton3329]

Thank you for sharing. You are the only one to mention that I do need to manually size my stickers accordingly. For some reason I have been struggling with how to make sure they aren't too big or too small. Your mention gave me that light bulb, a-ha moment. Thank you!

[@kathyb-007]

Clear and straight to the point. Love it! I was looking for a quick video on how to do this print-and-cut and you nailed it. Thanks for the demo. Now if only it could cut wood like the CM3…

[@abbirogers8780]

Trying to learn about how to use this before actually purchasing one! Is it possible to get the machine to actually cut out the stickers with the backing still on it?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes, that's a die cut sticker. You just have to adjust the settings, very easy.

[@tinyxriot]

so you have to have a regular inkjet printer first?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes, the Cricut is not a printer. The Cricut software will work with whatever printer you have to print the design that the Cricut machine can then cut out.

[@JuliaBerzoy]

I use laser printer but I have to ensure my sticker paper or iron on is suited for laser printers

[@Dakotasnotdead]

Could you draw the images directly on the sticker paper, or does it have to be printed on?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

The sticker paper will allow you to draw them, but the machine wouldn't know where to cut. If you have digital designs that you draw you can easily use this process to turn those into stickers.

Thabk you very much for suggesting le ti watch this video ! You explained everything very well ✨

[@rickbrown24]

Great video! Thank you!

[@jetc4332]

Do I have to necessarily use cricut materials? Can I use standard self-adhesive photo paper for inkjet printers?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes you can use lots of brands. It might just take some practice to get the cut settings right.

[@ScrapandCraftQueen]

Thank you for your tutorial New subbie here. Thanks for sharing.❤😊

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Welcome! Glad you found this helpful.

[@ScrapandCraftQueen]

@@SarahVanderkooy yes thank you 😊

[@shinelile2632]

can it make sticker sheets?? I've been trying but it cuts all the way though!

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes but you will have to create a custom material setting. You need less pressure from your blade. This video shows you how to create a new material setting but you'll want less pressure then I show. instagram.com/reel/CumJFMgO5Dv/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@nascar427]

Try the Printable Vinyl White (Green Line Printing). That setting works great for me, for kiss cut stickers.

[@Demonskunk]

Can this thing cut cardstock? Or just sticker material?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes, and all kinds of paper, vinyl, HTV, and other materials. Here's an overview of the machine if you are interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWfQc5d_odqdi5o

[@veronicabradley8434]

Thank you so much for this video. It was a great help period but I have a question. How could I use this machine to print stickers from Illustrated Faith?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

If you have a digital sticker file, usually downloaded as a PNG, you can upload it to Cricut Design Space then print on sticker paper using your ink jet printer. From there you can use this machine to cut the stickers. In this video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmOTnXqtgc6Cm7M ) I use a png file that I downloaded and turned it into stickers, it might help. Thanks for watching!

[@narellewilliams5348]

Did you just use a normal printer or a sublmator printer. Thanks

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Just a regular ink jet printer for these.

[@designyourcards]

I got a blue box around my stickers when printed and I turned bleeding off what's causing that and how do I get rid of it. Thanks

[@maliedivine]

Nice demo! What's your sticker setting? I struggle with it because Design Space updated and changes everything.

[@SarahVanderkooy]

I used the built on settings for this particular paper.

[@nascar427]

She was going kinda fast, but she did select a preset material setting......Printable waterproof sticker set white. She used that setting because the media comes with a laminate to make it waterproof, and hence the setting. not a custom setting......@ about 6:15

[@Ziplock9000]

6:28 I notice the mat bends. That's got to throw off the alignment.

[@debbietracy9450]

how do you do this if you what your stickers to cut separately?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

You'll need to create a custom material setting, there isn't a built in die cut sticker setting. Check out this video where I go over how to do that. You only need to create it once then you can use it again and again. instagram.com/p/CumJFMgO5Dv/

[@marianmargarida890]

I have a question: i wnat the stickers to have a matte background? that will depend on the paper used for printing? Thank you

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes, that's dependent on the paper you use.

[@kimladd5100]

I can’t thank you enough. I have been so frustrated because even the Cricut website does not give this information.

[@mcharron4122]

I have a silly question. Does it cut through all the way do the back stays in the sticker?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

The default is kiss cut, when it's not cut all the way and you can peel stickers off the sheet. You can increase the pressure to make die cut stickers that are cut all the way through too.

[@mcharron4122]

@@SarahVanderkooy thank you!

[@7jacksiniowa7]

I can't get the stickes off I have used 4 of the printable water sticker sets already

[@mcharron4122]

@@7jacksiniowa7 oh no!! That’s not good!

[@helenachibas4920]

Do I have to use designs from Design Space? Sometimes I find quotes or designs online or on social media that I want to make stickers from.

[@SarahVanderkooy]

You are not limited to design space, Cricut gives you the option to upload files too!

[@katefrancesdesigns]

I'm sure you wouldn't but please just be careful not to steal an artists work by copying it from the internet and using it without permission.

[@Afrahkakar-fs3du]

What is the price of it

[@SarahVanderkooy]

$199 for the machine. Check the link in the description for where to shop.

[@Afrahkakar-fs3du]

@@SarahVanderkooy but I Frome Pakistan is that possible that I can buy

[@meemaw100]

@@SarahVanderkooy Amazon has cricut Xtra for $179 limited time,no cutting mat or anything I just ordered it today.

[@travismullen1880]

Hi! I have a quick question for you. When using the mat and non-cricut materials, do you need to cut the paper down, or will it hold a full size sheet? Does that make sense? Thank you!

[@SarahVanderkooy]

It holds a letter size 8.5 x 11 or an A4 sheet on the mat, no need to cut it down.

[@edibleprintsmanila93]

Downside you can't print and cut on the whole A4 sheet unlike the Cuyi mini. The design space also is limited to online only but Cuyi Mini signmaster can be used online and offline.

[@gracediegelman3599]

What is the printer you used?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

This is a Canon TS6420 ink jet printer

[@gracediegelman3599]

Was this Gracie?

[@7jacksiniowa7]

My stickers won't peel off the sticker paper ? What can I do ?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

When your stickers are done cutting, before unloading, try to peel one off. If it's not peeling, just run it again. Next time when selecting the cut setting use more pressure instead of default, that should help.

[@roxbardelas]

Does it support A4 paper?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes it does
