Waterproof Stickers with Cricut Create Sticker
Hello it’s Ellen here, today we will be making waterproof stickers with Cricut Create Sticker – a new feature in Cricut Design Space!
For this sticker sheet, I’m using a ton of fun designs from PCC:
- Easter Bunny in Basket SVG File
- You’re My Best-Tea SVG File
- Love You a Latte SVG File
- You Make Me Whole SVG File
- Peach of My Heart SVG File
- You’re My Main Squeeze SVG File
- Jamazing Cute Jam Jar SVG File
Other supplies:
- Cricut Machine (I’m using a Cricut Maker)
- StandardGrip Mat
- Sticker Paper (I’m using the ‘Cricut Printable Waterproof Sticker Set – Transparant Holografic’)
- Printer
(Before you start a ‘Print then Cut’ technique, it’s always good to calibrate your Cricut machine for accuracy.)
Cricut has a new feature for making stickers ‘Create Sticker’ (this feature is currently in the Beta Version of Cricut Design Space and only available to Access subscribers).
First you have to select your image and click on “Create Sticker”. You can find the button along the top menu of the Canvas screen.
You can choose between two options:
- Die Cut Stickers: The Cricut machine will completely cut through all layers of the sticker paper.
- Kiss Cut Stickers: The Cricut machine will cut with a lighter touch. The top layer is the only thing cut, leaving the liner intact. This is perfect for a Sticker sheet, for example for planners.
For this post I’m making die cut stickers with a custom border from 0,30 cm (0.12 inches).
The sticker paper I’m using is perfect for my Inkjet printer. When the sheet is printed out it’s time to layer the holographic film on top.
What I did wrong!: On the pictures you can see I layered the holographic film completely on top of the sticker paper. That’s not good. You have to only apply the film on the illustrations and NEVER COVER UP THE BLACK REGISTRATION MARKS (L-shapes on each corner). Only then can Cricut view where to cut.
I’m using a little more pressure when cutting the designs (it’s an option you can choose right before your machine starts cutting).
When it’s finally cut, you’re all done!
I cannot wait to use these cute stickers on my mug or send them out to friends.
