Hey sticker crafters!! So I took your advice and learned how to calibrate my Cricut - WHAT A DIFFERENCE. If your stickers are not cutting evenly, learn how to calibrate your Cricut in this video HERE - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dt_OQUnjiqw.html

did putting the poster board in it laminate both sides? im trying to laminate stickers to put in resin. the resin can eat the ink on stickers so im trying to do research on how to use a laminator to make the stickers fully waterproof

@haileyfrederick8754 2 года назад

I have a protip for you! Since the laminate is glossy, its hard for the circuit machine to read the registration marks if there’s Direct light shining on your machine . The glossiness throws off the light sensor whenever it’s trying to read the registration marks. Bright light or direct sunlight well Reflect from the glossiness on the paper, and somehow it will not read the registration marks correctly. What I found works best is having your machine in a dark shadowed area or even with your lights completely turned off whenever you load your mat into the circuit , it will read the registration lines better Because The laminate is not being reflected from the light . Try it out! It’s the only thing I found best to get the perfect exact cuts for glossy stickers.

@thatquietkid23 2 года назад

using matte tape also works pretty well :D but thxs for the tip i’ll try it out next time i run into the same problem

@lovingbritt 2 года назад

Thanks I'll try that too

@ladycuddlebeard Год назад

I'm going to give this a try too... I have calibrated my machine ump-teen times and use tape, but still there is cut offset when I print and cut. Thanks for the tip.

@olajumokelawal3235 5 месяцев назад

I tried turning off all the lights so my cricut could scan my glossy paper in the dark. It worked!!! I am blown away! Thank you!

@GianlucaCasu 2 года назад

A tip for your laminated sheet. Put two pages of stickers back to back. This way when you cut the laminated pouch you do not waste half of it. Instead you have two pages ready for the cricut ;)

@okipullup951 2 года назад

@GianlucaCasu 2 года назад

@@okipullup951 not exactly, she put a page behind, yes. But it was a blank one. I suggest she uses two sticker pages back to back so that she optimizes the process

@melissaannboone3639 2 года назад

Cut circles first. Then peel away negative space. Put laminate on then re-cut with a slightly larger circle. Great for a water tight surface & edging!

@ashleybootz9814 2 года назад

You just blew my mind with the cardstock under sticker paper, I feel so stupid!!! I legit laminated 4 sheets of sticker paper and wasn't able to use after as a sticker bc the back was laminated!! 🤣 I was like what is wrong with me!!!! Thank you for this now I have hope lol

@wilmadavenport479 2 года назад

So the white can be corrected two ways. 1. Make sure you have "bleed" on when printing. If you still have an issue you probably need to do a Print Then Cut Calibration. (Click the three bars--upper left (in Design Space) and select calibration. The software will walk you through the rest.). My guess is though that option 1 will take care of the issue for you.

@transcrapper 2 года назад

I was having the same problem. I ran the calibration and voila! Thank you for the tip!

@Missphloxx 2 года назад

Love the video! I currently use a laminator with Amazon laminating sheets but haven’t tried the avery sheets yet. Also, you just need to recalibrate your Cricut to re-read the registration marks. I usually do this 3-4 times until I get it EXACTLY on the black marks. Thanks for the video! Much love from CA ❤️✨

@melanieglover4779 2 года назад

I just don’t get how the laminate stays if it didn’t technically “seal” the sticker 😭 my brain Doesn’t compute

@alejandropatino1524 Год назад

For 3mil Thermal sheets use the Glitter Cardstock option. It works great. And change settings for more cuts.

@Barbarajhere 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing! Per info found via Y.T. the cricut needs to be calibrated whenever stickers or labels are made. I have an Air 2 but still a bit of a newbie...

@melissaannboone3639 2 года назад

You may need to recalibrate your Cricut - over done this recently and it helps. You can ALSO add the bleed AND make your circle a bit bigger. Those things have solved my problem with the white edge! 💕

@Yogirlmo623 2 года назад

I am having trouble with this also!! I recalibrated it & it is still doing it! I will try adding the bleed, thank you!

@michellefoster02 Год назад

Thank you. That was really helpful

@AmyMakesThat Год назад

@btmbyashlie 2 года назад

Hello! I use the same laminator and pouches! I never add anything anything else inside the pouch, just the one sticker sheet. Then when the cricut cuts it, it is laminated on both sides, however it doesn't affect the sticker at all. It still peels perfectly.

@AmyMakesThat Год назад

Yes it still works like that! This is a good trick if you have multiple sheets though :)

@marzmall0 2 года назад

Hi, did you add bleed on before you printed the stickers? This helps with the Cricut not cutting exactly around colored background stickers. If that’s not the problem, probably just calibration is off. Hope this helps :)

@joni22262 2 года назад

You should be able to cut the pouch so the sheets are inside the Cricut lines….you should put two sided tape in a couple of spots at the top to keep the lamination sheet lined up. I’ve done something similar to this with my laminator and it worked great. Ps…do you prefer the thicker or thinner and you can buy different mil of lamination pouches . Happy holidays and a new year .

@rebeccastuthecrew Год назад

You need to go into settings and recalibrate your cut marks that should help get rid of the white line. I do this every time I see my cut marks are odd. I hope that helps .

@nishovski 2 года назад

I legit just had the same issues yesterday. I wish I checked out this video first. However, when I use the self-laminating sheets, there are so many bubbles no matter how hard I scrape them down. Halp! 😅

I've been having problems with alignment as well when I use the print then cut method on my Maker3. No problem on my original ExploreAir2 though.

@AmyMakesThat 2 года назад

Hi Gayle, I have been hearing that the new machines (Maker 3 + Explore 3) have some calibrating issues - so it’s not you!

Looks like you may need to re-Calibrate your machine for print then cut. That should help with the white outline

@AmyMakesThat 2 года назад

That’s what I’m thinking! OR next time put the bleed on. I have some crafting to do 😇

@dkastra26 10 месяцев назад

what's the difference between this against a ready sticker foil in glossy?

@TwinFlameTreasures 2 года назад

I found my circuit wasn’t cutting the stickers perfectly either. Two options. Add an offset, however if it’s still off, it will still come out wonky. The other step is, calibrating your machine. Over time the machines cuts become off and you need to calibrate it every now and then. Mine was so bad I had to calibrate it four times lol it’s a long process but so worth it for those perfect cuts in the end.

@ZaidaBaadjies Год назад

love your video. Just a suggestion, your machine might need to be calibrated again. Just an FYI, the Cricut Explore 3 and Maker 3 has an improved sensor for reading the registration marks. I was able to print and cut laminated cards that I made with no problem using my Explore 3. :)

I have been laminating my stickers for a while now. The problem I run into is that they come out rather stiff. The stickers are great on flat or slightly curved surfaces. But if it is too curved the edges like to pop up. I think it is the laminate I am using. Do you (or anyone else) have any tips for this? Potentially material recommendations?
