Images Sticker

[Bartolome Beacham]

AfterI create a custom sticker on my S24 Ultra, I cannot find where the images are stored. I know how to access them and they are showing when I want to add them to another image, but on my S22 Ultra, they were stored in my Gallery in the "Clipped Images" folder. The new ones that I have created with my S24 are not adding to the same folder or (anywhere in my Gallery) as were added by my S22. I have also gone into Samsung My Files and turned on Show hidden system files and this didn't work either.

Thanks GaryB82, Right, I understand that. My statement/question was on my S22 Ultra they would save in my Gallery in a folder named Clipped Images. All of the ones that I create since upgrading to the S24 Ultra are not saving to that folder or anywhere in my Gallery. Is there a way to get my new custom stickers to appear in my gallery "Clipped Images"?

Yes, and they aren't small like the stickers were. I can access stickers with the edit on a photo as recommended above but that only lets you put them on a different photo. I tried copy thinking it would go on the clipboard, but that didn't work either. So frustrating.

In the Photos app , you can make stickers from the subjects in your photos and animated stickers from the subjects in your Live Photos. Then use your stickers to decorate messages, photos, notes, and more.

Have you tried making stickers with your Cricut? This is a great project that uses the Print then Cut feature. I am going to take you through the whole process step by step. This is a great back to school project. You can also use these same steps to create your own personalized planner stickers.

One thing I do want to point out just in case you are searching for a tutorial about making stickers with Cricut that are specific to the Cricut Joy, what you probably want to search for is making decals and not stickers. The Cricut Joy does not have the ablitity to scan the registration marks produced with a Cricut Print then Cut project like these stickers.

Additionally, since the time this article was originally written the Print then Cut process has changed a little bit, which includes making stickers with your Cricut. To solve that problem, I now have a mini course call Perfect Print Then Cut that is available in the Classes section of this site.

First we are going to insert the solid shape that we want our sticker to be. This is actually a really important step in that I like to emphasize when people ask me how to make stickers with Cricut machines.

This will be the shape of your sticker, and the shape you choose will tell the Cricut where to cut. Make sure that you use a solid shape, and not just the outline of a shape. When you look at the shape on the Design Space canvas if you can see the grid lines through the image it is not solid and it is just an outline of an image. If this happens to you, you can use Contour to make it solid.

For this example I am going to insert a circle since I want a round sticker.

Next I want to set up my round sticker for the color and size I want the finished sticker to be. I click on the circle, and go to the top of the screen and click on the box that the first blue arrow in the image below is pointing too. This opens up the color selector. I am going to change the color of this circle to white.

the next step in making stickers with your Cricut is to find a cute paw print image to add to my sticker. First I click on the Images button on the left. This will show me all of the images in Cricut Design Space.

This opens up a new screen where you can search for images. If you have not used the search function, head over to my YouTube channel and watch the video HERE. For this project I typed the words paw print into the search to find an image I liked. Then I clicked on it and hit the Insert Image button in the lower right corner of Design Space.

If you click on the paw print image, in the lower right corner where the blue arrow is pointing you will see a icon that looks like a double arrow. If you click on this and drag it in or out you can easily resize the image. The other way to resize would be to use the height and width information like we did with the circle, at the top of the screen.

I want to make sure that this paw print image is perfectly centered on top of the circle. To do that I am going to use the Align function. Make sure that you have both the circle and the paw print selected. To do this I just made a big selection window around both of them. Then I went to the top of the screen and clicked on Align. There are several different choices under Align. I picked the Center option, as shown in the image below.

Each item is on a separate layer currently. Both of those layers are set to Cut, which you can see from the portion of the image that I circled. It is kind of small, so let me zoom in for the next picture. Now you can see that is says Cut next to both of the image previews. If we hit Make It right now, the Cricut would cut out both a circle and a paw print. This is NOT what we want. We want to print the paw print from our home printer, and then cut the circle around the paw print. So how do we change that? With Flatten!

Flatten will change any cut image into a Print then Cut image in Cricut Design Space. If you want to learn even more about the difference between Cut and Print then Cut I would recommend the article HERE.

After you click on the Flatten button I want you to look at the Layers Panel. Do you see what changed? Instead of being two layers the image is now one layer. Also, instead of saying Cut next to the image, it now says Cut / Print. Above the image preview it also says Flatten.

In the upper left corner is the Project Copies button. I have circled it in blue in the image above. From here, you can change the number so that you can easily create more stickers and fill the sheet as much as you can. Change the number and hit Apply and that will refresh the preview. This will allow you to see if you can fit more images on your sheet. I ended up being able to get 20 paw print stickers on one sheet.

Right below that, you see a small preview. You can see that it says Print and then Cut. That is telling you it will first print the image you see on the screen. After that you will put the page you printed on a Cricut cutting mat to be cut.

The next two steps are going to be easier to see in the video. First you will print the page from your home printer. Any good inkjet printer will work for Print then Cut projects. I suggest reading the reviews of printers and then pick one in your price range. I have some suggestions for you HERE.

Before I printed my first set of stickers, I did a test print with a piece of copy paper to verify the way that the paper feeds into the printer. There is nothing worse than hitting Print and then finding out you had the sticker paper in wrong and your images printed on the back side of your sheet.

I did want to note, I prefer the Cricut Printable Vinyl Sheets which says it is for making printable decals over the Cricut Sticker Sheets. I have found that the backing on the Cricut Printable Vinyl Sheets is more flexible so it rolls nicer through my home printer.

Once the sheet is printed, place that sheet on your Cricut cutting mat lining it up with the grid lines on the mat. When you load it into the Cricut a light will come on and scan the registration marks. This is how the Cricut detects where to cut.

I would love to get your feedback to see if this article helped you to understand the process for making stickers with your Cricut. Drop me a note below in the comments or join my Facebook Group called Teach Me Cricut Design Space.

If you find that your stickers are cutting slightly off center from your images, you might need to calibrate your machine. The directions for this can be found on the Cricut site which I have linked HERE. I also have a whole page with tips and tricks for troubleshooting the most common Print Then Cut project errors.

If you are looking at making stickers with your Cricut and want them to be waterproof I highly recommend the Neato brand Super Glossy Waterproof Full Sheet Vinyl Labels. I created some sloth volleyball stickers with the sloth svg from Crafting Spree that you can purchase HERE.

I have to be totally honest, I was worried that these would not cut! I have heard other people online say that glossy sticker paper can sometimes throw off the print then cut sensors on the Cricut Explore, which is the machine I have. I closed the lid to my Cricut to reduce the glare that might come off the glossy paper and I am happy to report that they cut out PERFECTLY!!!!

Since the package said waterproof I wanted to test that. I took one of the stickers and ran it under the bathroom faucet. I am happy to report that the water ran right off! The color did not bleed or smear at all! I would highly recommend this product for making waterproof stickers. You can click HERE to purchase yours. If you like this image, I used it for a print then cut shirt project you might want to check out HERE.

If you are wondering which is the best Cricut to make stickers with the answer is any of them, except the Cricut Joy. The original Joy is the only machine that does not have the sensors needed to detect the registration marks for making stickers, or any other Print then Cut project.
