Introducing Create Sticker in Design Space  

Today, we’re announcing the release of the beta version of Create Sticker — a new Design Space feature for our community to try — to simplify the process of making full-colour stickers. 

How Create Sticker works

The preset cut settings take all the guesswork out of sticker making. Simply choose the die-cut setting if you want individual stickers, and optionally, use the toggle option to create an easy-peel border around your stickers. Want to make a full sheet of stickers? Select the kiss-cut setting to cut the vinyl just enough to leave the backer on, allowing all the stickers to stay together for use later. 

With Create Sticker, you can adjust sticker properties at any time. Change your mind about a border colour you chose? No problem! You can edit to your heart’s desire without starting over the entire process. Making multiple stickers with the same style? You can apply the same settings across multiple images on your Canvas. Simply highlight all the images, customise your Create Sticker settings, and it will be applied to all images you highlighted! 

_{Please note, Create Sticker is for making full-colour Print Then Cut stickers. A printer and compatible cutting machine are required for this project type.} 

Suggested materials for Create Sticker

Try our new and improved printable sticker materials such as Printable Vinyl, and Printable Sticker Paper, or the new, innovative Printable Waterproof Sticker Set. These materials help you make a statement with the durable quality you’ve come to expect from Cricut products.

FAQs

What is Create Sticker? 

Create Sticker is a new Cricut Access exclusive feature that lets you design custom printable stickers in just a few clicks!  Just create your sticker designs using text, images, shapes, and even fun features like Warp or Monogram Maker, then select Create Sticker. It automatically makes your design printable and lets you quickly choose sticker-friendly cut options; no more fussing with Offset, Flatten, or Attach!    

Note: Print Then Cut stickers are different from vinyl decals in that you first print your stickers on your home printer, then load the sheet into your Cricut machine for cutting.

Why is Create Sticker in Beta on Design Space for Desktop? 

We are confident in our algorithm, but we are still working to optimise the feature. With more people using the feature, we can gather data on how it’s performing and make needed improvements.   

How do I switch to the Beta version of Design Space for Desktop? 

Open the Design Space menu and select ‘Settings’. Select ‘Beta’ under Application Experience and click ‘Done’. The beta version of the app will automatically install and restart. For more information, please refer to this Help Article. 

What is the difference between a kiss-cut and a die-cut? 

A kiss-cut cuts around your design through the sticker material only, leaving the liner intact. A die-cut cuts around your design all the way through both the sticker material and liner.  

What does it mean to Cut Interior Shapes?  

This option finds the negative space in an image and cuts it out. For example, it makes it so that you can cut the inner circle out of a doughnut. 

Which Cricut machines can I use with Create Sticker? 

Create Sticker utilises Print Then Cut, so you need one of these Print Then Cut compatible machines: Cricut Joy Xtra, any Cricut Explore model, any Cricut Maker model, and Cricut Venture. Cricut Joy is not capable of Print Then Cut.  

What kind of printer is compatible with this feature?  

Create Sticker is intended for use with Cricut printable sticker materials, which are for use with inkjet printers only. Using a laser printer may damage the materials or printer.  

Is Create Sticker available on all Design Space platforms?  

At this time, Create Sticker is available in Beta on the latest version of Design Space for Desktop only with plans to be available for iOS® and Android™ coming soon. Click here to learn how to switch to Beta. 

Do I need a Cricut Access subscription to use the Create Sticker feature?  

Anyone can preview the feature on Canvas and Mat Preview, but you need a Cricut Access subscription to cut. If you don’t have Cricut Access, start your free trial² today!  

What materials are compatible with Create Sticker?  

Create Sticker works wonderfully with Cricut Printable Vinyl, Sticker Paper, and Waterproof Sticker Sets. You can view a full list of compatible materials on the Compatible tab in Design Space.
