Okay! So we need transfer tape without the lines on it. Sold a sticker as a car decal.

What is the best weatherproof, fade proof, washable vinyl sticker sheet brands to use with Cricut systems?

@KellyRossouw

Жыл бұрын

This is quite a complicated one to answer! The majority of the Cricut permanent vinyls work beautifully (the non "fancy" ones eg holographic, shimmer etc). For other brands look for the Outdoor label - those are the ones that are rated to last longer outdoors under the sun and weather etc.

Amazing video! Did you change blades at all or did you use the fine point blade for both cuts?

Found this to be the best video tutorial on sticker making out there. At least for me. But, we need a new tutorial as there’s the new Create Sticker option in design space. I finally (after 1 year) am trying to do my logo stickers again, as I had given up. Hopefully the second half of steps are exactly the same. Though it might take some trial and error due to not knowing the difference between a Die Cut and a Kiss Cut. Actually, the new feature seems quite different. It looks good and easy on canvas but it would make it now a print then cut method I believe. Well, thanks for this video 🙏🏼

I learned some things from your video, so thank you for making it. I feel confused about the vinyl you used though. I haven't made anything with an offset yet. Did you have two layers of vinyl on your mat? Or did you not cut all the way through on the first cut then cut through when cutting the offsets?

@KellyRossouw

Жыл бұрын

You are so welcome! It is just a one layer vinyl sticker. The white is the backing of the vinyl. The clear layer is transfer tape to move it off the backing, and onto where you want to place it

Can you print on any permenant vinyl? So they arent layed but more a less like any sticker youd get out of a rolls of kids stickers or something?

@KellyRossouw

Жыл бұрын

Want to clarify some terminology quick: printing means to use a printer to deposit ink onto a surface. A Cricut is not a printer, it is a cutter (plotter). With that in mind, you can use this method to cut any kind of adhesive vinyl (permanent or removable). If you want to print on printable vinyl (it must say printable otherwise it is not printable!), and you don't use transfer tape with it 😊 Hope that makes sense!

Such a helpful tutorial thank you Kelly! I hope you have a solution for my dilemma! I am trying to make multiple laminated bag tags. The tag is a rectangular shape with rounded corners, with an image and name inserted, created in design space. I am using the print and cut method, once printed, I then laminate the whole page (laminated on both sides) and feed the printed laminated page back into my Maker to cut, this works perfectly, but ……… I would like to have a border of just the laminate around each bag tag so that it actually seals around the tag to make it more durable. I have not been able to find a hack or tutorial for this. The only other solution I can think of is to individually laminate each bag tag, which will be so time consuming. I hope this makes sense! I would love to be able to do all this on the Maker - perfect cut. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thank you!

@LetsGetClacking So, using this method, you reload the mat with transfer tape and already cut vinyl to cut the "orange" layer since the cricut doesn't see colors. And aligning and attaching them, as they are shown on that white box, keeps them in the right spot to cut both times? I've always seen that removing and then reloading the mat will make the cricut cut in a different spot than what it cut before. Please explain how it cuts exactly right.

This method is aimed at those wanting to make more smaller stickers. If you are doing a much larger sticker, you can still use this same method, but it will need to be slightly adapted so you would be able to do this same method for a sticker up to 60cm/24" long. If you want to do a longer sticker you would not be able to use this same method as you would be using smart vinyl/the matless method
