I have to make a BIG recommendation on putting the laminating sheets on your paper. Put the laminating sheet down on your Cricut mat sticky side up and then lay your paper slowly and evenly on the laminating sheet. Comes out PERFECTLY and much quicker.

[@Krootayahvasola]

What do you use to laminate?

[@danigemd9662]

@Jeana Small it actually didn’t always with the holographic laminating but only once or twice. I would recommend cutting the laminate to within the black outer line. It worked better that way.

[@leolego2]

wtf are you talking about, it doesn't make any sense

[@lasinmt106]

@@leolego2 Yes it does if you actually do cold laminating on stickers. The video shows the application of sticker to paper. The tip above is to add paper to sticker. In other words....she puts the laminate down face up of course. Then she lays her design paper face down so the laminate is sticking to the top of the stickers when flipped over to be cut in the machine. It's basically a slightly different approach to the same or think of it as both different personal preferences to the same out come. Top of stickers are laminated with water proof cold laminated material and then of course cut out via a digital cutter. Sorry you couldn't visiualize what DaniGem was attempting to explain. I myself actually have a slight different take on it. I almost always lay the laminate onto the sheet and slowly remove the backing while at the same time smoothing the laminate into place so again this is just a personal approach that works for me. Each to their own but all might be worth trying if you are new to the process.

[@kathypear2540]

@@danigemd9662 that’s what I do. It takes a bit longer but it works! I feel like my holographic clear sheets add a slight tint of yellow to my stickers. It’s extremely faint and almost not noticeable .

[@IraQNid]

Nesting images is a common practice among professional printers as well. You get the most space from the paper that you have. The proper term is gang printing. Home printers might call it 2-up, 4-up, and so forth. So a 2-up is producing 2 exact copies of the same file on the same side of the paper with scale adapted automatically to the size of paper you're using. 4-up is the same principle with 4 identical copies of the same file. Some printers may have a way to enter custom "x"-up where "x" is the quantity that you enter that is equally divisible. Wider format and large format printers have this as a common feature. But when you can buy a house or a large format printer chances are you already know this :)

[@CreativelyErica]

You can always send your design to a sticker company to make the stickers for you! Also, I would recommend redbubble to any beginning artist/seller. You upload your art and they print on demand and will ship out the product for you but you get a percentage of the sale and you're out $0. Good luck girl!

[@CreativelyErica]

Aw! Thanks so much for watching!

[@hal_aetus]

Thanks for the detailed review of the process. So, if I understand correctly, the Cricut "knows" where to cut based on a white border you've already laid down around each one. You don't have to give it an offset or bleed width, right? If that's the case, that's pretty cool since it's really easy in Photoshop to lay down sticker borders.

I love this video! Can’t wait to try it, made it look So easy! Also can you estimate about how much it costs you to make each sticker? I wanna know if making my own will save me more money than buying stickers off a website! Thank you

[@CreativelyErica]

It really depends on the sizes of your stickers and what products you're using. In this case with this set of stickers and the products I used (including cost, tax, & shipping) - each sticker cost me about .08c - .10c to make. So you definitely save money by making them yourself BUT you're paying for the convenience of having them already made and ready to go if you order from a website. Since I have some stickers that do really well compared to others, I've ordered those off a website because it became daunting to have to print off a new set each day of the same stickers. So I ordered my best sellers just so I could have them ready to go as soon as I receive the order. But all my others, I basically make to order (so I'm not wasting supplies). Hope this helps!
