Materials:
- Sticker paper
- Laminate overlay (We used clear holographic laminate)
- Colour printer
- Squeegee
- Silhouette cutting machine or Scissors for hand cutting
-Sihouette Studio Designer software ( If using Silhouette)
Instructions:
If you're hand cutting your stickers...
1) Print the designs onto sticker paper.
2) Apply the laminate overlay to the sticker paper. Starting in the corner and using a squeegee to apply it smoothly.
3) Hand cut the stickers
If you're using Silhouette to cut your stickers...
1) Open your SVG file in Silhouette Studio Designer software. Select each set of cutlines and the accompanying image, right click to group. Do this for all elements before moving them around.
2) Under the Design tab select Page Setup to add your registration marks for printing. Note: *Make sure the design fits within the registration guides. To adjust the registration marks select Advanced Options and move the sliders to the far left.
3) Go to file print and choose the highest quality print settings. We use the setting for printing Matte Photos.
4) Snip off the corners of the laminate so that the laminate doesn't cover the registration marks. Apply the laminate overlay to the sticker paper. Starting in the corner and using a squeegee to apply it smoothly.
5) Click send. Choose your material and adjust your blade depth. Apply the sticker paper to your mat, load your machine and send to cut.
Cut Settings:
Kiss-cut Stickers: Blade Depth 2, Force 14, Speed 6, Passes 1
Die-cut Stickers: Blade Depth 4, Force 20, Speed 3, Passes 1
Die-cut Stickers with Laminate: Blade Depth 7, Force 26, Speed 3, Passes 2
*Note: Your cut settings will depend on the sharpness of your blade, so we recommend doing a test cut. Also check the area is well lit, registration issues can happen if the lighting conditions are poor.
Happy Crafting!
