If you have a part of the timeline zoomed-in, when you press play it will only preview a loop of the section in the zoomed-in area according to the duration on the screen. The previews will also be locked to your zoomed-in sections. Use your fingers or the Apple Pencil to move things around. You can easily pinch to zoom in and out to get a closer look at the exact frames. Procreate Dreams timeline is designed to function on the iPad and it has been fully optimized to work with gestures and movements.

Die-cut stickers can be removed with the spatula tool.The timeline on Procreate Dreams offers a much more hands-on approach for you to create animations.

Flip the mat over on a clean surface and peel the mat away from the paper.

When it’s done cutting, make sure that it cut through the paper before removing it from the mat.

Press the blinking Cricut button to start cutting.

Select the materials ( white sticker paper for die-cut or washi-tape for kiss-cut.).

Apply the sticker paper to the lightgrip mat.

After the image prints, it has a black line around it to help Cricut read it.

(If you don’t see anything, minimize the Cricut window.)

Toggle on “system dialog” to change the printing quality to the best available.

If you want die-cut stickers, leave bleed toggled to On. It will show an error until the design fits within the right size limits.

Select your image by clicking on it and selecting “add to canvas.”.

Select the upload type (print then cut) and then hit upload.

Make sure your image will be cut correctly by clicking on Cut image preview.

You can play with the options, but complex generally works the best.

PNG images have a few different options.In the Cricut software, create a new project.You will be using the Print then Cut technique in your Cricut software. I have a very in-depth sticker-making tutorial on my other blog if you’re looking for more info. Kiss-cut leaves the stickers on one sheet and allows you to pull off each individual sticker from the page.ĭie-cut refers to cutting all of the stickers individually. Die Cutīefore cutting your stickers, you have to figure out how you want your stickers cut. I’m using a Cricut Maker 3, so the instructions may vary a bit if you have a different machine. The curved blade makes it easy to get around tiny areas. If your designs contain is more complicated, I highly recommend using a sharp pair of curved cuticle scissors.You could also use paper punches, but you will need to take that size into account when designing the images.Squares and rectangles can be cut easily with scissors or an inexpensive paper cutter. Consider designing your stickers with simple background shapes.If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can still cut your stickers by hand. You may need to send a copy of your stickers to your computer for printing, rather than printing from your iPad.Īlways print at the best quality available. If you’re going to sell your stickers, I’ve heard great things about this paper. The Cricut sticker paper is too thick for most home printers, so I don’t recommend it. It’s a matte sticker paper that I had on hand. If you’re using a Cricut, you will need to print through the Cricut software. Turn off any layers that you don’t want to be printed (like the sketch layer and the cream background layer.).I added this layer in the same way as before, but I made the brush size thinner and only drew the outline (no filling needed.) (You can use gray if you want.) Printers don’t print white, so this is important to know where to cut. Zoom way in to make sure because it will create weird cut lines.Īfter adding the white backgrounds, it’s important to add a thin black line around the edges.

Turn off layers and make sure that the white area is completely filled.

Make sure to fill the entire area with white as well.

This is just my personal preference, but I think it looks nicer.

Areas that were too sharp got softened with a rounded curve.

On complicated shapes, I filled in the complex areas with white.

I used my monoline brush to get nice, smooth edges.

On the new layer, draw around the edges of the elements.

Create a layer above the colored layer.

Create a layer beneath the art and fill it with a color that will allow you to see white and the artwork.

If you’re cutting the stickers by hand, you might want to do simple shapes like squares and rectangles.Ĭircles also look cute, but they will be harder to cut. You can make shapes (circles and squares) behind the elements or you can make the shapes correspond to the linework of the element, but simplified.
