Once you have all your stickers done, you are ready to Print then Cut. Make sure your offset layer doesn’t have any small holes if they do, make sure to use the Contour tool to hide them. Repeat the same steps to add the offset layer and flatten it. You now have an image that is ready to be cut out as a sticker! Resize it as desired and insert more images from the Jasmine Lucey Image set. Now, use the Flatten tool in the bottom right corner to flatten the offset layer and the sun layer into one printable image layer. Use the Align tool in the top menu and select Center. Once you have removed the contour lines, select your offset layer and your image. Select “Hide all Contours” to remove those small cuts. To remedy this, you’ll need to make sure your image is set to a cut image in the Operations menu and then select the Contour tool in the bottom right corner. This will cause the Cricut machine to try and cut out these small holes in the sticker, which we do not want! You can see the small holes in the Offset layer below, once the top layer is moved over. TIP Sometimes, but not always, depending on the image shapes and the size of the offset, the offset layer will have small holes. Select the layer and change it to white by clicking on the box in the top menu and selecting white. The offset layer automatically is set to black. If you have an image with multiple layers, the Weld option is automatically checked, but you can choose to uncheck it and have offset layers created for each individual layer.Īfter the offset is applied, there are now two layers the original image layer, and the offset layer. Since it’s a single layer image, you won’t see the other Offset tool option, Weld. *Note: In the images above, I changed this image from a cut image to a Print then Cut image after I inserted it. 125, so I’m going to type that into the box and then select apply. For example, if I was cutting a square image, I would want my offset to be angular most likely and not rounded.įor stickers I like the offset to be. The angular option is great for objects that have angular edges that you want to follow. You’ll notice there are two corner options: rounded or angular. You’ll see a blue outline around your image that either becomes smaller or larger as you slide the circle to the left or right. You can either slide the circle to the left or right to make your offset larger or smaller, or you can type in an exact size you want your offset to be. When you have an image selected, you can click on the Offset tool in the top menu. You can insert as many images as you like to make into stickers, but first, I’m going to insert just one and teach you about the Offset tool.
I’m using the Image Set “Rise and Shine Sunshine” by Jasmine Lucey in Design Space for these stickers. In Cricut Design Space, select Insert Images. Sticker Paper (I used Neato Labels Glossy Waterproof) For the Print then Cut feature we will flatten our images and the offset into one layer to be printed and then cut out.Ĭricut Machine (Cricut Joy will not work as it doesn’t do Print then Cut) The Offset tool adds an outline, or “shadow” around your image. The other tool that makes stickers super easy is the new Offset tool. It’s also great for other things like making labels, gift tags or even using it with printable HTV or printable vinyl. This is what we will use today to make stickers. Print then Cut is a feature that will cut around materials you print out on your printer. Let’s talk about the two things we will be using today in Cricut Design Space to make stickers, Print then Cut and the Offset Tool.Ĭricut machines are great for cutting our materials like cardstock, HTV and vinyl, but you can also use them to cut out printed materials!
