how i format my sticker sheets for production ☆

wahoo!! i hope y'all enjoy this video — i'm very proud of it and i hope it helps y'all out in some way or another!!

*note: if you do indeed cut out your stickers yourself using a silhouette or cricut program, this is a great method for laying out the sticker sheets before bringing it in to that software. illustrator is ur friend !!!

i used to print and cut all my stickers for my sticker shop at home, using 3 silhouette portrait machines, but my shop started growing in a way that i could no longer keep up with by making everything by hand at home. so! i started outsourcing my sticker production this time last year — through a lot of trial and error, this is the process i've landed on for formatting my sticker sheets to send off to said printing companies so they turn out spiffy and lovely!
