Hello crafty friends, today I want to share with you a tutorial on how to create these adorable stickers!
To start I uploaded the png file into my Silhouette program. Next I changed my settings in Silhouette for the desired printing paper I will be using. I am using Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper from HTV Ront. The paper is 8.5x11 inch. I didn't have that option in the tab so I selected custom & entered the measurements in.
The next step click on the "Print & Cut" on the right panel. Now select "Enable Registration Marks". Now if your registration marks take up too much space in your printable area or you would like to fit some more stickers onto your page, you can slide the inset tab all the way down to the left. This will move out the registration marks & save you printing space & get the most out of your paper.
Next we set up the printer. Place your paper into the printer tray & make sure you adjust the paper size to fit your paper if it is not your usual size. Eg. I usually print on A4 so I had to adjust my tray to letter.
Now press print in Silhouette & select your printer. If you are using glossy or matte sticker vinyl, make sure you change this in your printer settings before printing, because printing with matte printer settings on glossy paper can sometines lead to smudges and blurry images as the printer uses more ink.
Once you have printed your stickers place the sheet onto your Silhouette mat. Next we will kiss cut the stickers where your sticker is left on the paper & peels away. Select the appropriate material for your cut. In my case I have selected printable vinyl with a force of 15, blade depth 1, & speed of 5. This will depend on the thickness of the paper you are using. Now send it to your machine.
See how easily the sticker peels off!
You can use these stickers as you wish. I have decorated a bottle with mine. What will you use your stickers for?
