The Return and the Comeback! Christmas Stickers with Cricut

Certainly, this is not just the simple return of stickers but today it’s their big comeback. Stickers to be featured in this section are indeed bolder and ready to take on the limelight of our crafting table! Normally, we just see them printed on paper with adhesive backing, easily lifted, in our niece’s notebook, or silently attached around any surface where it could stick but now it’s a different story. Do-It-Yourself Stickers with Cricut in a Christmas-inspired look will give any of your stickers a different dress!

How can we make Christmas-inspired Stickers with Cricut?

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie, a longtime crafter, or a Cricut user, making stickers not just on sticker paper but on vinyl materials is probably the hype of your priority now. As we embrace the making of this, might as well get ourselves familiarized with what materials we need and what process we need to undergo in its customization.

The List of Needed Materials for creating Christmas inspired Stickers

Start looking around your crafting room and shelves! If these materials are available and you have them now, then as soon as we complete this list we could immediately proceed with the process of making it!

1. The Printable Vinyl – If we want to stick the exact image of Santa or its reindeer in the DIY that we are making, Printable Vinyl could do the work for you! This Vinyl type is a type of vinyl material letting you design the exact appearance of your own, downloadable, or ready-made image without getting you exhausted in doing ample weeding or layering. Using this you can print highly vivid, simple, or complicated and colorful images through the help of an inkjet printer. This doesn’t require heat or transfer tape upon application on your chosen surface; it is more durable and long-lasting than a sticker printed on sticker paper.

2. Adhesive Vinyl- Adhesive Vinyl is the typical type of vinyl material we use for our text designs. It can be permanent, removable, or water-proof depending on the type of its use. This has a wide range of colors to choose from even glittery or holographic types. If we want to make big letter imprints or snowflakes imprints for Christmas this one is good to use!

3. Transfer Tape – Transfer Tape also known as application tape is a clear or transparent plastic film usually placed on top of a vinyl serving as a carrier sheet (vinyl materials like Adhesive Vinyl don’t come with a built-in carrier sheet). Once it’s placed on top of the vinyl, installation of it going to the chosen substrate will be easy. Transfer Tape is also very useful if we just want to keep our stickers made of vinyl for future use. It’s also useful in giving our design a sticker-like package or the one we usually see in stores. Using transfer tape can make our vinyl sticker distributable, reproducible, and sellable if we want to make it as a form of venture.

4. Inkjet Printer- A printer we normally have at home or one we have in our workstation which we can use on printing designs using Printable Vinyl. Even if this printer usually uses for simple printing of documents and other stuff, this guarantees us to get the best results we expect.

5. Cricut – Cricut is an electronic cut plotter that can cut a variety of substrates and the main key that will shape and form our stickers on vinyl. This can make our cutting process clean, quick, easy, and professional looking.

Print-then-Cut: The Process that will form our Christmas Stickers!

Are your hands itching even more? Ahhhh… Just a little bit of your patience my dear… Sooner and in no time we will get into the steps of creating our Christmas stickers! Hence, at this point, let me walk you through briefly what process is involved for us to customize successfully the stickers you designed!

The Cricut’s Print-then-Cut Feature: What is it?

No doubt too, the best thing about having Cricut Machine by your side at all times is you could lay out, print, or cut any beautiful designs of stickers of a variety of sizes, shapes, or colors you want to create. What’s more? The most excellent part of this machine is its coolest feature which will always give us a way to translate our creative concepts by placing it both on our vinyl material and substrate.

How does Cricut’s Print-then-Cut Feature work for stickers?

Grabbing sticker designs on your Cricut Design Space or in your SVG files ‘collections on your computer? Cricut’s Print-Then-Cut Feature can amazingly turn everything you have in a minute! As you create and held all of your designs on your design software, the print-then-cut feature will enable you to generate your customized stickers by doing all the work for you!

Print-Then-Cut Feature, depending on the type of customized design you are producing will work in two ways. First is the “Print” feature of it which is specifically useful for design to be placed on Printable Vinyl, and allows you to connect and print directly from your computer going to your home printer. In this way, you will not need to undergo a hefty process of plugging in and out your computer just to print. Since this feature is run using the design software engineered for Cricut on your computer, this allows you to print directly on your printer. Then afterward, with the same settings on your design software, you can “cut” your Printable Vinyl directly on your Cricut Machine as it reads the instruction coming from the software made for it. The “Cut” feature is functional for types of vinyl like adhesive vinyl to be cut directly on your cutting machine.

In a summary, from your computer with the design software engineered for your Cricut, to your printer, or your cut plotter, this makes the reproduction of your customized stickers as easy as a piece of cake! So laid-back! All you have to do is just wait, sit, and relax!
