Hello everyone! Today on the blog we’re going to teach you on How To Use Printable Sticker Paper. I love printable sticker paper because it’s a little bit more durable than the printable vinyl. It’s very sturdy and it’s perfect for all kinds of decor, organization, planner stickers and so on.

First, head over to Cricut Design Space and we’ll get started! This is such a fun project and this technique can be used in so many different applications.

Today, we are going to use a beautiful floral print then cut file from Makers Gonna Learn. This is one of over 1000 cut files, as well as over 160 fonts. You also have access to some fantastic printable guides, a private Facebook group, and other awesome membership perks when you join with the yearly membership.

We’re going to size this and as we can tell with our measuring tape, we have about four and a half inches to work with. So, once we have set it exactly how we would like it, all we’re going to do is click “Make it”.

Next, load your printable sticker paper into your printer. We are using an inkjet printer as you cannot use laser printers. Be sure to check the instructions for the proper way to load it into your particular printer. We’re going to leave bleed on and we are going to hit “print now”. It should connect to your printer and so all you have to do is hit the print button.

Now that it has printed out nicely, we’re going to place it on the top left corner of our Cricut mat and then move on to select our materials. We’ll hit continue and we will select generic sticker paper. Give that a little more pressure as well, because we really want this to cut through nicely and our blade is not the sharpest. So now we’re just going to load this onto our mat.

And then, we’re going to load the mat into our machine and press that flashing Cricut button. First, the Cricut is going to go through and read that black border called registration marks to sense where our design actually is. This is how it will be able to cut as precisely as it can.

Now that our printable sticker paper has been cut, we’re going to weed it. You can weed the big part off or you can peel up the cut part like an actual sticker. Once done, we’re going to remove this from the mat.

I’m going to use some scissors to cut closely around our design, and once you’ve cut that out, it’s going to be a lot easier to remove the design from the backing. What we’re gonna do is simply flip it over and we’re gonna peel this back as if we were peeling transfer paper from a vinyl.

Now, we can see just how pretty this is. We’re going to grab our notebook and position it down.  I love how it looks! If you’d prefer, as you import this into Design Space, you can be very particular and get all the white spots out or you can make the border white all the way around it.

What did you guys think of this tutorial? This project was so easy and fun to make! It’s thick, it’s durable and I don’t feel like it’s going to go anywhere. I feel like it’ll be here all through the school year if that’s what you choose to use it for.

If you’re a Cricut Maker owner, you are probably just like me and love the many, many possibilities this machine gives you when it comes to crafting. You can make so many amazing DIY projects and you can make them faster and easier. One of our favorite features is known as Print and Cut. This function allows you to print a design and then cut it out which really expands the versatility of your Cricut machine. Today we’ve got a great tutorial for Print and Cut; How to Use Cricut Printable Vinyl. Let’s jump in!

I love making new fun projects with my Cricut Maker. I was looking around for some Make It Now projects I could make on a crafty afternoon and I found the perfect one. I saw this Donut Box Make It Now Project and broke out my card stock and ATG gun immediately. I was excited to use my Cricut Scoring Wheel, too. Using it along with the Cricut Maker creates deep and flawless score lines that a normal scoring stylus cannot achieve. I’m excited to show you all how we created this DIY Donut Box With The Cricut Scoring Wheel.

Supplies:

• Cricut Maker
• Cricut Single Scoring Stylus
• Cricut LightGrip Mat
• Various Colors of Medium Cardstock
• ATG Gun
• Bone Folder
• ZIG 2 Way Glue Pen

Steps:

1. Go into Design Space and open this Donut Box Make It Now Project. Follow the simple directions on the tutorial and start crafting.

2. Make sure you load your Scoring Wheel into your Adaptive Tool System in clamp B. I love the versatility of the Scoring Wheel and knowing I never have to worry if my scoring lines are deep enough for my project to be successful.

3. Load your first mat and watch the Cricut Maker create deep, precise score lines. Once prompted, trade out your Scoring Wheel with a Fine Point Blade.

4. Once you’ve scored and cut all of your layers, look over the instructions on the tutorial so you’re comfortable folding and building your finished box.

5. Crease all of your score lines with your bone folder. Then glue the white circles onto the inside of your donut holes. Once you’re finished creasing, use your ATG gun and adhere them together being sure to leave one flap open to fill it with your desired candy/goodies.

6. Carefully glue all of your sprinkles onto your pink icing and adhere the icing onto your finished donut. Fill it with any candy/goodies you’d like and there you go!

What do you think? I love how this project turned out. Thanks to the Cricut Maker and the Scoring Wheel it was a breeze to make. I loved watching it score all the lines and cut all the layers. It was effortless crafting. I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and are more comfortable and confident to use your Scoring Wheel.
