Those stickers are super cute! I have a feeling they take a bit of time, those programs look complicated but the result is worth it! So cute!
Thank you! Yes, it is a bit of a process, but once the file is made, its easy to print and cut more. :)
I can't believe you figured out all those very detailed steps! It's amusing to me to take something so simple as those marker chicks but then need to do so many technical steps to create the page. Please know that I am a detail oriented artist myself and I am in no way knocking the process! I am thanking you for your generosity of spirit, time, and intellectual property! So much work into what artists do. I'm working on some tutorials in my medium and these videos feel like they are going to be hours long with all the little details I have to talk about! Sometimes we really take for granted how much we just "know'' after a while, what has become muscle memory for us. Anyway, thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!
hey! such a good video! I use silhouette studio all the time and i think i have a quicker/easier way for you to do the outlines. when you select the trace area, instead of hitting the 'trace outer edge' button, click the 'trace and detach' (only highlight the designs, not any text etc'. Then select the background behind the designs and delete it. Then select all of your little designs and use the offset tool. There you can adjust the size/thickness of the outline/boarder around the designs by changing the measurement. I hope this wasn't confusing and was actually helpful xD xxx
Ahh, I think I understand what you are saying. Good idea! I'll give it a try!
Thanks for sharing the tip and watching!
What printer do you use for your stickers
It was very helpful
IM LEAVING SCHOOL AND SELLING STICKERS
Haha! Your comment made me smile/laugh. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'd suggest staying in school and selling stickers as a side hustle! ;D
Hahaha! First time a comment has made me LOL in months!
It's very extra ordinary that you did all your work from start to finish by yourself. Those are so beautiful that I would consider to buy those if they were sold in stores.
Aww, thank you!
I don't have a planner or bullet journal but the chicks were so adorable and found it so soothing to watch this the whole way through. It was immensely satisfying to me for some reason.
Haha, thank you!
You're very welcome :)
Oh my goodness! Your little chick stickers are so adorable. I love the fact that you can make your own creations so that your planners are unique. You are very talented.
Thank you so much!
Your information took some of my questions and answered them. New to making my own stickers and wanting more info. This helped me a lot. Also read your blog post. That was really helpful.
🌹
Happy to help!
This is one of my favorite sticker videos
Thank you!!!! I’ve been watching so many videos on cutting stickers and each one teaches me something new but I still felt like I was missing something. Having a video that started in photoshop (which I love using) showed me things that I wasn’t seeing. They would show things in the silhouette program but it was like it magically did it for them but not me. I think this video helped a bit. Thanks!!
Oh good! I'm so glad you were able to find value in my video! ❤ Thanks for watching!
Omg I love you! I just bought a Cricut a month ago and have barely used it (I have only made a few decals made from vinyl) AND I have just took up bullet journaling so I’m SO LUCKY to have found your video! Thank you so much! ♥️
Thank you so much for showing the full process including drawing them from scratch!
This is so helpful. Thank you!! Makes this passion that I want to pursue far less intimidating!

Glad you enjoyed the video! Making stickers is a lot of fun, so I'm happy to have made the process less mysterious!
@ellamo hey that is not nice.
This is exactly the video I needed! I am getting a Silhouette tomorrow for my birthday and wanted to take my own artwork and turn them into Planner stickers. I am going to start with hockey stickers and go from there!
So exciting! Good luck! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Loved finding your channel! When I design my stickers I make the cutlines on photoshop by adding a thick stroke and black color overlay, then I open that on the silhouette software and hit trace :)
Thank you!
To help with the curling if you flip the mat over on your work surface so the paper front is face down and then bend the mat off the paper while holding the rest of the paper flat on the desk it'll prevent the paper from curling. Just thought I'd give you that little tip that I just found out about.
That's a brilliant idea! :o Thank you so much for sharing!
NElizabeth you're welcome
Incredibly cute!!! The style of the chicks is so nostalgic!!! ❤️
Thank you!
Adorable! Makes me want to order something just to get the pretty stickers!
Ahhhhhh I just spent the day reading your blog posts. When I searched how to make stickers last year, I couldn't find anything with enough information for a super beginner like me (i.e. old school artist), so when I found your blog posts after searching today, I am over the moon. :) :) :) Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Your shop looks adorable too. Now to go figure out what kind of printer I want. 8D
Yay! Welcome!
Thank you for sharing your methods. So cute💜
you are so amazing! i encountered your blog today, as i am doing research to start a planner sticker shop. and it's been quite hard to find the exact answers to my questions.... because no one wants to share -_- and help one out ahahah!! until i got into your blog! THANK YOU THANK YOU for being so helpful!!!!!
Neylis Pardillo Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you!
This is the best sticker tutorial I've seen! Thank you SO much!!!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Great video! Very informative! I’m sure you have heard this by now but if you flip the mat over and peel the mat away from the sticker paper it will help eliminate the curling. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! I have heard that tip several times now, but thank you for sharing! Hopefully other people reading the comments will see it and be enlightened! :)
Wow that was so neat! I am in the process of starting my own Etsy sticker shop and your guide is sooo much help! Thank you 💕
Thanks! So happy you found the video helpful!
I have two cutting machines (cricut and silhouette), and i guess i more like cricut because, silhouette does hurts my ear when cutting, it's so loud, so I recommend you to try out Cricut Maker Cutting Machine...
A quick tip for you (even though this vid is 2 years old). If you turn the mat upside down and peal the mat away from the suckers and not the other way around (like in your vid). The stickers will not curl has you are curling the mat off, and the stickers are staying flat on the table (put something on the table so they don't get dirty etc). I use the Circuit 2 and I think the mat is a little thiner which helps when the curling it away from my stickers.
This is just awesome!!! Love, love, love it!!! Wish I could do this! Would love to get some of these for sure!!
So cute, and so helpful. Will put in my bujo for 2018. Might try frogs too 🐸
Nice! That will be super cute! :D
which sticker paper do u use? i live in spain and its very hard to find a glossy one that its good for print my own stickers. thanks
who gives this a thumbs down? this was awesome and so helpful!
Super cute stickers. I hope I can create my own stickers someday. You've inspired me with this. Thank you!
Thank you!
I've just bought myself a cricut, as I want to make stickers, so a lot of these videos have been popping up for me on my recommended, yours was really good! Although I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use silhouette studio with cricut, but apparently I can! Yay! The cricut design studio, isn't as comprehensive, to do kiss cuts and deep cuts you have to fiddle about and layer stuff, its weird. But yeah will be giving this software a go...thank you!
Oh, that's cool! I didn't know you could use Silhouette Studio with Cricut either. Neat!
Amazingly helpful.... who r the haters who gave u thumbs down... ❤️
Thank you!
The thumbs down were probable all those Etsy sticker makers who don't want more competition!!!!!
Trolls and Jealous people! Excellent Video!!! You do earn your money making these, for sure!!!
hands down the best sticker making tutorial on youtube!
That very moment, when I realised that I need a cutting machine for my bullet journaling. Hm... Where to buy... XD
Great video )) thanks, your chicks are so cute! ^_^
Haha, right? It's a rabbit hole!
I bought mine at a dollar store lol
@@mirte3072 seriously? Can you post a photo of it? I'm thinking to either use my oval punch or just cut (Fisker cutter).
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL OH MY GOODNESS thank you for explaining everything so well and from start to finish, even drawing! You are amazing for sharing all these tips, thank you so, so much. *hits subscribe button x100000*
You're so sweet D;
Honestly.. I've never even thought about what it takes to make stickers. This was crazy 😮😮
Thanks for watching! At a mass produced level, I'm sure they use a die cut machine to stamp the whole page at once, but at home on a small scale level, this is what's done! :)
I love this vid it’s so useful but i like to use the parchments paper method
I have maked few stickers only using tape,super glue,scissors and some kawaii printables
Excellent tutorial and very informative! I’m just learning myself how to make and print stickers and this tutorial will be my reference guide. Thx so much!!
You're welcome! Glad it is helpful!
Okay first of all those chickies are toooo cuuuuute. Got to... ehem "borrow" the design 😁. Secondly your voice is very relaxing and soothing. Loved the video thanks for sharing.
Aww, thanks! So glad you enjoyed the video! Have fun recreating the stickers! 😘
I love this tutorial, very easy to follow and understand. So cute, I will have to try someday!
Thank you so much! So glad you found the video helpful!
These are the cutest!!!
Briyana Butler Thank you! I think so too, haha. ;P
These stickers are adorable! TFS!
Thank you!
Wow! These are too cute to pass! Thanks for sharing !
I absolutely LOVE these!! :) Thank you so much for posting this video. I am a newbie at making stickers (for myself, not to sell) and using the Silhouette Studio so this was very helpful for me. I will be visiting your shop to see all the cute things you have come up with since this video! :)
Aww, thank you!
Great tutorial! .. Time saver : You could have kept your magic wand for removing your backgrounds.. You had a tolerance of 15 so you just needed to put it down to 2 or 3, since you have a clean 1 color white background. The lower the tolerance, the higher color precision you have when selecting :) Thank you again for your great tutorial!
Great advice! Thank you for the tip!
Omg this was super helpful! I have a Cricut and a trick I use it to bend the mat and never the paper. It’ll take some time lol. It it won’t curl the paper
That's a great tip! I hadn't thought to do that, haha, but it makes so much sense!
thank you for showing the whole process! the chicks are so cute!
Cutting machine....cri
Yeah... a cutting machine definitely makes things much faster and easier. However, if you don't have one, you could also just use scissors and cut each sticker out individually. I've also seen people take an Xacto knife and lightly cut around each sticker to achieve a kiss cut. Not a quick process, but it gets the job done! :)
NElizabeth it's *Kist* Cut
Welp. I know what I want for Christmas now
Thank you so much for covering every detail! I learned so much from your blog and video!!!
You're very welcome! So happy you found them helpful!
Nice. I want to make my own stickers. I cannot draw worth a darn but will give it a go. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! If you can't draw, you could always use public domain graphics instead, which are copyright free!
A really nice video! You make this look easy! LOL Some of us are circle drawing impaired :) But seriously, really nice job and thanks for taking the time to share it with us!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Well done these look very good you are talented!
Thank you!
I love your video and your chicks :). You’ve shown that it’s not necessary to have an iPad Pro to turn personal artwork into stickers yay!
Thank you!
Terrific video! Thank you!
I have a cricuit machine, can you please tell me how you made the silhouette make the cut mark for the stickers and at the same time it cut the stickers in 4 sections. Two different cut types.
Hi, I use regular label sheets to print with my sillouette. Can you please tell me why I can not take out the sheet from the stick sheet sillouette without leaving all stickers glued to it? I can not take the entire sheet as you did :( Thanks in advance for your answer
Hi! It sounds like the issue is that your cut settings are too strong and it's cutting all the way through the paper instead of just the sticky top layer. You should go into Silhouette Studio's cut settings and change the depth to a smaller amount. Good luck!
I think you might be right. Thanks so much for your help!! :)
Oh wow I just wanna try them!
Absolutely adorable!
Thank you!
Great video! Perfect companion to your blog series!
Thanks!
Serendipitously stumbled on your video! Love this! Thank you from the future! :) Subscribed and can't wait to watch your other videos! yee!
Thank you so much for watching and subbing!
Can you make a video about how you make your logo on the sheets and how you make multiple stickers on one sheet
Sure! I've added it to my to-do list.
This was such a great video! Thank you for showing the process and yes indeed they turned out soo cute. Love them ;)
Thank you and you're welcome!
These are so cute!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing it was really good 😊
Thank you for watching! :)
Great video! Very detailed and helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed watching!
thank you! this makes me wanna try to make my own stickers (sans the cutting machine part)
What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
It would make it alot easier for you if you grouped all the chicks and words together with the box that way nothing moves
Thanks for the tip!
cute stickers
Thank you!
Hi, Elizabeth. It's wonderful all the work you put on doing these. Congratulations! It's a hell of a job. But, I have a simple question...people that want to make stickers are supposed to be really good at drawing or are there any other way of making them. Because my drawing skills suck! 😂😂😂😂
your stickers are simply but super cute! thank you for this tutorial :)
Thank you and you're welcome! Hope it was helpful!
Very cute 😍😍
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial thank you for sharing. Can I use my older version Cricut expression to make labels?
Thank you!
so cute! Can you do the designing in silhoutte design studio as well?
Hi! You absolutely could do the designing in Silhouette Studio. I prefer Photoshop because of the wider range of tools available and my greater level of familiarity with it, however I do know using just Silhouette Studio for designing sheets is very popular too.
wow loved seeing you make those chicks! I will have to give it a try. New subbie!
Thank you!
What sticker paper is best to use? Which do you use for your shop?
Hello! I have a blog post here that explains the differences between types of sticker paper:
blog.nelizabeth.com/2017/2/18/types-and-brands-of-sticker-paper
It really depends on what you're looking for when it comes to a paper. Most people prefer a removable adhesive for stickers, so just a basic, standard, removable matte sticker paper is the most common on Etsy. I'd prefer not to post the exact sticker paper that I use in my shop publicly, but I use a semi-matte paper with a permanent adhesive. Most of my stickers are for bullet journalling, so I don't need to worry as much about writability. Most companies will send you free samples of their papers, so I'd recommend testing a few out with your printer and deciding what you like best! :)
What is the size of each sticker sheets?
This is so cute! Adorable
Really cute stickers, and very clear and informative video!
Is this also how I'd make adhesive decals with a Silhouette? Is it possible to have an outside print shop do the printing and take the sheets home to do the cutting myself?
Thank you! Glad you found the video helpful! :) Yes, the Silhouette machine can cut many different materials, such as vinyl sheets for decals. You will just want to make sure your cut settings are correct for the material that you are using! Theoretically, it is possible to have a print shop print the sheets for you and cut them yourself; You would just need to export your files as PDFs with the appropriate registration marks. That being said, I've found that exported PDFs from Silhouette Studio end up compressing the file and making prints blurry. Additionally, the first several weeks of using your machine will be a bit of a trial period. It often takes a while to get the hang of it and get accurate cuts. So, just be careful if you do choose to have a print shop do the printing, as you might head there more often than desired in the first few weeks due to troubleshooting.
Hi! My daughter and I had such a great time watching this video. Where did you gain all of your knowledge? Do you have a graphic design background?
Hi! I'm happy to hear you and your daughter enjoyed watching the video! I actually do not have a formal graphic design background, however I've been an avid arts and crafter my whole life. I've been using Photoshop since highschool, and constantly enjoy trying new crafts, so I've just picked up most of my knowledge through many years of trying and failing! :)
Amazing. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Lots of great ideas and info, thank you! Can you please do that video about what to do in the softwear too? I'm getting to figure things out and it's slow going.. Ugh.. Thanks again! 💖 (new sub too btw)
Thank you! I appreciate the sub!
I love you...
not in a creepy way
Lol! :)
Great! You're so talented
Hey I was wondering what version of Silhouette Cameo you use? Thanks.
I have a Silhouette Cameo 2, which I bought back in 2016. I believe the current models are Silhouette Cameo 3s.
great! Thanks!
Thank you!
Hello! I have the same cutter, and now i am so frustrated at like i’ve been testing a lot but the result of the cutting is it’s okay at first but the cuts gets misalign halfway :(( i don’t know where to ask so i reached you here. I’m sorry. I hope i can get an answer asap ;;; ive been wanting to make stickers😭 but i always end up cutting it by myself using hands.
Hi! I've just sent you an email. ❤ :)
These are darling!!
Thank you!
Hi, just want to let you know that your Etsy shop is down and has been down since may. You did say that it would be back up in June 2018, but it still isn’t up in January 2019. Not to be annoying or anything, but just to inform you. ❤️
Thanks for the heads up! I'll go in and change the message now. I'm in the middle of fixing up and moving into our first house, so I havent had any of my studio supplies or computer! ❤
What type of sticker paper do you use? I’ve tried the Avery shipping labels, but it gives my stickers a really grainy looking texture.
www.sheetlabels.com/ is my favorite place to buy sticker paper. They have a lot of options available. Most matte papers will be a little grainy, so you will probably want to find something glossy or more premium than standard matte paper.
Amazing video!!!! ✨ you totally need more subs
MintyXPastels ʕ •ᄌ• ʔ Aww, thank you so much!
would you recommend the silhouette machine over the circuit for stickers
I've personally never used a Cricuit, so I honestly cannot give a 50-50 comparison or recommendation. That being said, I do believe most people in the sticker niche use a Silhouette. I've also heard that the Silhouette software is much more user friendly than the Cricuit one. I love my Silhouette and would absolutely recommend it. I just have no basis of saying it's better than the Cricuit. :)
This was an amazing video! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you!
What cutting machine do you use? And how much does it cost? :)
I use the Sillhouette Cameo 2, however they have since came out with a new model. Both Silhouette and Cricut are companies that offer various cutting machines at various price points. I'd recommend looking up a few reviews online to figure out the best model for what you're planning on doing with it. I believe when I bought mine almost three years ago, it came in a bundle package with a few other supplies for about $250. The Silhouette Portrait is a smaller model with less features but about half the cost as well.
Oh my god. I love your design!!!
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the video. Can you please tell me which program you were using when you used the built in trace and offset features please?
She used a program called Silhouette Studio
