How to make sticker sheets with the Cricut Joy (2024 sneaky way)

Hi guys! Since Cricut has decided to launch a new machine, an update has occurred. If you have a Cricut Joy and remember being able to use it for sticker-making previously, you're in for disappointment. You can no longer print from the design studio without having a new device. Don't be sad for long because I have a workaround solution for you! 🩵

If it helps, there is an easier, and much faster, way to have a perfect white border around your image. Even on all sides and follows the image exactly. To do so:

Import image
Select image-> edit image
Scroll down to effects, select shadows
Choose the option “outline”
Set size to 100 (or lower if you want the border to be smaller)
Change color to white.

That’s it. You can adjust the size of the sticker if you like or leave it as is. Hope this helps 🙂

Just a heads up, if you export from Canva as a PNG without a background you can keep the transparent background which would save you the issue with the green! You could even print that version as well. 😊

Great job. As a former Cricut user they have been shady since forever. I stopped purchasing after the Cricut anniversary edition. The. Last year my husband bought me the joy. Now they want you to buy the xtra. Always to purchase the newest machine are their goals. I like how you outsmarted them 👍🏾Good for you

And I've successfully printed stickers! Finally!

This is awesome. I don’t know that I could ever do this but I think it’s cool that you did. I hate that they took the Joy app away I loved it. Thanks

Thank you so much! Every video I found insisted I could connect CDS to my printer but I couldn't. You are amazing.

Thanks. Great video. I bought my Joy a few years ago to make cards but I always wanted to learn how to make stickers.

Thanks for this video! Just my cricut joy xtra, making stickers seems like the most challenging 😅

OMG!!! Thank you so much for creating this video! I tried three other work arounds but unfortunately, none of them worked until I tried this one! Thank you so much! I'm subscribing immediately, and yes, I'd love to see the glass coffee cup tutorial! Please keep them coming! #lifesaver

I just decided to make stickers so this video truly came in handy! Thank you

Love your work station. A friend ofine has 3 screens in his office and 2 screens in another. I always wondered about that😅

Since my sticker paper is 8-1/2 x 11, I think you can print it landscape and get two sticker “pages” per sheet. Maybe?

[BitLife]

Not sure if its the same problem I had, but my laptop that runs windows 11 couldn't detect my cricut joy for awhile. Try going to settings > bluetooth and devices > devices. If you scroll down there's a setting called Bluetooth Devices Discovery. Change that from default to advanced, and you should be able to detect the joy after that. Also, they just so happen to sell mats that fit the joy at the dollar store. They're a darker green color, but since they're less expensive it's a good option for converting to a sticker mat.

Hi Alyssa 🤗. New subscriber here from Florida 🌴. Really enjoyed watching this tutorial. I do have a cricut joy which I want to start playing with. I like how you demonstrated this video for a beginner like me. I would love to learn more cricut joy projects. TFS!!! Gloria 🥰

I think if you rotated your image you could have printed two sticker sheets on the same page to save paper.
