How do I make stickers with a Silhouette Cameo?

Open the transparent PNG in Silhouette Studio, trace its outer edge, turn on registration marks, print, then cut. The white border is already in the picture, so the trace follows the outside of the border.

Step by step

  1. A toy robot as a die-cut sticker
    01Make the sticker file.

    Upload your art here and download the PNG. Its outside is transparent.

  2. A toy robot as a die-cut sticker, on black
    02Open it in Silhouette Studio and trace the outer edge.

    Use the trace tool on the outside shape only. The inside of the sticker needs no cut.

  3. 03Turn on registration marks and print.

    The marks let the Cameo find the page. Print on sticker paper at actual size.

  4. A potted monstera as a die-cut sticker
    04Load the sheet and cut.

    The blade follows the traced edge, which is the outside of the white border.

Why trace the outside only

A trace of every edge would cut the art into pieces. One outer line gives one sticker.
