how to draw and cut stickers on cricut

Here’s the quick way to draw and cut stickers on Cricut : in Design Space, create or upload your artwork, add a border if you want a kiss-cut or die-cut look, then use Print Then Cut to print the sticker sheet and have the Cricut cut it out for you. Cricut’s newer sticker workflow also supports choosing die-cut or kiss-cut styles directly in Design Space for simpler setup.

What to do

1. Make your sticker design in a drawing app or in Cricut Design Space.
2. If you want a hand-drawn look, draw your artwork first, then upload it as an image file.
3. In Design Space, flatten or set it up as a print-then-cut project so Cricut knows to print and then cut around it.
4. Choose your cut style: kiss cut keeps the sheet intact, while die cut cuts each sticker fully out.

5. Print the sheet on sticker paper, place it on the mat, and let Cricut cut along the registration marks.

Best settings

• Use printable sticker paper or printable vinyl for the sheet.

• Keep the design within Cricut’s print-then-cut size limit of about 6.25 x 9.25 inches.

• Calibrate your machine if the cut is off, and use the correct material setting for sticker paper.

• If you want cleaner edges or a more durable finish, some creators add laminate before cutting.

Simple workflow

A practical example is: draw a cactus sticker, upload it, add a white border, print the sheet, then use Cricut to kiss-cut around each cactus so the backing stays in one piece. That makes it easy to peel and also keeps the sheet neat for storage.

Tldr

Use Print Then Cut in Cricut Design Space, set your artwork as a sticker sheet, print on sticker paper, and choose kiss cut or die cut depending on whether you want individual stickers or a full sheet.
