Let’s Make Floral Laminated Stickers with Cricut and Procreate So You Can Make Money!
Let’s make pretty floral laminated stickers with Cricut and Procreate. Back in July I showed you how to make a sticker with Cricut and Procreate. This time I’m going to show you how I do it using my desktop and the Cricut Design Space app along with laminating my stickers.
Supplies I’m Using to Make Pretty Floral Laminated Stickers with Cricut and Procreate
For this tutorial on making laminated stickers I am listing everything I used here:
- Procreate
- iPad Pro Gen 3 12.9″
- Apple Pencil 2
- Apple Pencil Grip*
- Cricut Maker + Cricut Design Space*
- My Printer is the Canon TR8520*
- I use sticker paper from Online Labels – specifically the Weatherproof Gloss Inkjet (choose inkjet if you use an inkjet printer)
- Scotch Laminator*
- 3 MIL Laminating Pouches*
- Roland Blades for Cricut*
- Xinart Mat (light)*
- Matte Scotch Tape*
- Paper Trimmer*
- Weeding Tools*
*are affiliate links where I make a little bit of money when you purchase through those links
The reason I recommend laminating is that it makes the sticker slightly more durable than just using the Weatherproof glossy paper from Online labels. I like that. And, I also like to remind people to tell customers not to run things through the dishwasher with these stickers on them. Hand wash carefully to make sure they last a long time.
Watch Me Make Pretty Floral Laminated Stickers with Cricut and Procreate
Making these pretty floral laminated stickers was pretty easy. I realize you can have them printed professionally, but when you’re just starting out and if you have a cutting machine it’s really easy to get started. You don’t have to purchase a lot upfront in inventory and hope that it sells. I do use some pro printers on popular designs.

Tips for Lamination and Cricut Issues
- Try using matte scotch tape to place over your black lines.
- Also, try turning off lights around your device. I find that if all of my studio lights are on, it cannot read properly and throws it all off for me.
- Some people have luck cutting their lamination down to fit just over the sticker area, inside the black lines – yes, pull your lamination apart. I didn’t have luck with this as it ruined my lamination machine by getting stuck inside.

I had no idea about that, thank you for pointing that out.
Holly, thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. I have a Silhouette, but am familiar with print and cut so the technique was easy to transfer. What I had a hard time finding line was the laminating method explained in a way that was useful to me. Not only was yours helpful, but laminating them back-to-back AND using matte Scotch tape for the registration marks? Brilliant! Appreciate your video much
So happy to help!
Holly, Thank you for this tutorial. I have the online labels waterproof matte paper. If you pick a while at the layers of the sticker the top (laminating sheet) can peel off. My question is if you pick at the ones you make with the glossy sticker sheet does the laminate come off?
I don’t pick at mine so I haven’t seen that happen.
Oh my gosh! You are an ANGEL! I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to make cutting laminated stickers easier and you just saved my sanity! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Happy to help!
I can’t seem to get the laminate to not fray when I cut it. It doesn’t seem to matter what setting it use.
