  3. Enter the dimensions of your desired sticker size in the popup box and click on “Create new design”.
  4. Use the design tools to create your sticker. You can choose from a variety of elements, such as shapes, lines, and images.
  5. Once you are happy with your design, you can save it. Click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner, select the file type as .png or .jpg, and then click “Download” again.

Step 2: Import Your Design into Cricut Design Space

Next, import your sticker design into Cricut Design Space. Cricut Design Space is a software that allows you to turn your designs into real-life products.

Once you have imported your sticker design into Cricut Design Space, you can prepare it for cutting.

After preparing your sticker for cutting, you can cut it using your Cricut machine.
