I know the video hasn't premiered yet, but I still want to thank you in advance Susan for sharing these tips and tutorials with us.

When using the thermal holographic film, did you seal it with a glossy film on top as well or just left it as is? I’m just wondering as I don’t know if it thermal holographic film will stay put or not unless it’s sealed with another film on top. Let me know when you can, thank you! 😊
This is such a thorough and helpful video!! ❤ I've been considering making holo stickers and I keep seeing these short tutorials that don't ~really~ explain the process because they're so fast, so I really appreciate you breaking this all down for us, thank you so much for making this! :]
thanks so much for this video. its surprisingly hard to find info on the holo foil, despite it being easier to source than the self adhesive sheets! helped out a bunch, thanks again. liked and subbed
Hello! I got 3 different heat transfer foil ons, I have 2 different laminators, I have a Cannon Pixma Pro printer, and I have a pack of samples from Online Labels AND Sheetlabels. I tried every single paper and foil, including the paper you use here, glossy, matte, and I can't seem to get them to come out without bubbles or wrinkles. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is it my printer settings? Do I have bad luck and just happened to get 3 different defective foils? I've spent hours trying to trouble shoot this. It's so hard to find anyone talking about this specific subject.
I’m in the same boat as you. It’s so frustrating. I’ve tried different laminators, even a heat press on various temperatures and pressure. It just won’t come out clean. Always patchy and rough. Did you ever figure out a solution?
Thankyou for posting this guide its been super helpful! I know this will probably not get a reply since this is an older video, but I was wondering if you had any tips for the holo foil method? I've tried a few times but the holo doesn't stick properly and is patchy in areas. I've tried using different paper too ;^;
If your Etsy business affords you an extra five grand you could buy an iColor Dye Sub laser printer for the use of their CMYKW, Clear, UV, Fluorescent, metal looking, and security toners that can be hot swapped during a print operation. Their clear toner is not only a spot color treatment but also serves as an overcoat/laminate to protect the printed colors beneath it. No need for a lamination machine or the extra fuss associated with it. I use a color HP laser printer to make my stickers. I've had a test set of stickers mounted to my trash can which sits in all seasons outside. Baking in 90 to 100+ degree heat, rain, freezing cold down to 4 degrees. Been on the trash can since July 2022. No fading or loosening of the laminate nor the sticker. I used Avery shipping labels with permanent glue for the sticker paper. Then I used their self-adhesive clear laminate to "weather proof" it. Their paper & laminate are both acid-free & pH neutral for archival longevity. The laminate also protects against UV to protect against fading. With my Brother Scan N Cut 125 SDX digital cutter. Unlike the Cricut it has a built-in 600 DPI color scanner allowing me to scan up to 12x12 inches (12"x24" on newer machines), save the scan as a .JPG, cut data, or live cut. No need for external software as I can do all the edits, design, layout, tweaking right on the cutter's built-in computer via its 5 inch color touch screen display. With the auto blade my cutter automatically determines the thickness of the material (up to 3mm) and then "knows" the proper cut force and speed to apply for smooth results. But in case it goofs you can enter adjustments to correct it. Always do a test cut when you're using new material. If you were to use a pigment based inkjet printer like an Epson with DuraBright inks you'd have little need to use a laminate overlay. Print to holographic paper. Since the inks are pigmented they're nearly waterproof, smudge proof, have terrific endurance against fading, are rated to last up to 100 years before fading is visible to the naked eye. If the paper is acid-free and pH neutral then it will last perhaps as long as the vibrancy of the ink without discoloring the paper or the image printed to it.
okay omg first off all i want to thankyou so much from the deepest side of my heart. YOU made my entire day or probably safe my life kinda :) i wish you all the best seriously thankyou so much for making this tutorial video. you don’t know how desperate i am up until i found this video. you’re a good person and i thank you for that….
This is so amazing!! Do you know if there is a similar laminate to use with my laminator that just adds a glossy finish? I’m having such a hard time with the adhesive sticker laminate and none of the hacks have worked for me. If I could just add gloss after they’ve been cut it would be life changing!
awwww I can’t wait til midnight :< I’ll watch this when I woke up ksksks edit: I’ve finally watched itt!! love ur vidss aaaaaa❤️ I’m ur 200th like thooo XD
i have a question, so the foil on laminate worked even though you were using an inkjet? I'm sorry, its just so many people say it doesnt work on it, so I wanted to clarify, i love how open you are about your materials btw!!
This was SOOOO helpful ! But how did you get your stickers to print on a full sheet of paper ?! I always have to print within 6.75 x 9.25 and I feel like I just waste SOOO much real estate !
I am having SUCH a hard time with the self-adhesive holographic laminate, and have been looking all OVER the internet for just holographic laminate without the adhesive. I had no idea the foil existed! What kind do you use? Now I'm having trouble finding that! lol
Hi I once tried the heat laminating variant and after the foil took the surface was kinda rough and hazy is it a normal thing for the heat laminating foil? I hink I saw these on your sticker as wel like it takes away a bit of color? thank you
For the laminator way: Couldn't you do the laminating before cutting the stickers out with the plotter? So you don't need the printer paper as a backing?
Thank you for this!~ Do you know if I can print the stickers one day and then use the foil on laminator a few days later??? I know its a strange questions, but I want to know if the holo will work if it's not put on right after printing.....Thank you to anyone who knows the answer!
Wow thank you for a great tutorial and for sharing where you get your holo adhesives!! I've been looking everywhere for a chance to try it out myself and this has been super helpful!~
Thank you for your tutorial! I was putting the holographic vinyl over the black line. Is that why the Cricut machine would sometimes not cut the design correctly? Sometimes it cut correctly, sometimes not, and sometimes it couldn’t even read the stickers.
omg this was SOO helpful! I have been watching so many videos but this is the best one so far. I love that you share all your materials, it is a blessing! I do have a question tho when you use the self adhesive laminating, are you still using light cardstock as your setting to cut it?
Hello Soosanmoo, I'm so glad I found your page. I am making my bath and body product labels using Adobe and cutting them on the Cricut. I'm new to both programs. Can you direct me to your video that shows how to create labels using Adobe and then how to use Cricut to cut them? I use the same online labels that you use, but I can't get the Cricut to use the entire page as you did. I appreciate any direction you can offer. Thanks.
thank you so much for this video! I've been wanting to make holo stickers for a while now but have had trouble finding affordable holo glitter laminate~ I was wondering if you had any alternate self-adhesive options besides the one you provided from etsy? xx
Great video! I am new in crafting. Do you see a difference on the stickers (such as durability and texture) between the foil-on or self-adhesive method? Which method do personally prefer? Which Cricut cut setting did you use for sticker with the self-adhesive method? Thank you for all your help.
Please help me. I'm going to tear my hair out !! I have already wasted ten holographic pages. When I glue the holo sheet onto the sticker sheet, the machine cannot cut correctly at all. however I make sure that the holo sheet does not touch the black lair marks. do you have any idea to solve this problem? thank you in advance ❤️
I read on the labels page of the paper recommended that Cricut has a hard time reading over glossy. I think the adhesive is to glossy. The same thing has happened to me.
Hi! Is it possible to make the stickers for uneven surfaces such as water bottles? I have Heard that laminated stickers are not ideal for uneven surfaces. Thanks for any tips on this💖
I bought the foil on laminate you suggested and I was so excited to try it. Well today I did and it wasn’t able to transfer on any type of sticker paper (I tried multiple). There was always only a bit transferred even though I did everything as in the video. How’s that possible?
THANK You I recently started designing stickers to sell on my Art account on Etsy. I've gotten suggestions to make them glittery or holographic but I wasn't sure if holographic adhesive paper would work. Would a holographic glitter paper work as well??
This is super useful! Im starting my own online stationery store and Im slowly figuring out how to do everything. I would say I am well educated on how to make stickers and where to find manufactures (alibaba). But I never knew how to make it holographic. Btw Im 14! So being so young makes me nurvous about not making good quality products. Anyways thank you for the video :D!
Thank you SO much for sharing! I started buying stickers from a good site for my new shop but I feel like in the long term, making them at home would be much more cost effective and wont leave me with extra stock I can't move if a product doesn't work out (since most sites have a purchase minimum). Also getting crafty and being hands on with your work is fun! Thank you so much for sharing these tips and all the links! Exactly what I was looking for

I appreciate the fact that you kindly share how to do these types of diys !!
yesyes anything for my lovely community 💕
This is so awesome cause I was just looking into this and found some films to get, but wasn’t sure what to do with them!
oh yey! happy this could help you 🥰
Ok, never crossed my mind that I could use foil on laminate, it makes the whole process so much easier!

OL weatherproof didn't last a single rain shower on my car. So I switched to Zicoto vinyl and have had much better results.

From one Susan to another, thank you for this video. I learned a lot about making those types of sticker.
WOO A FELLOW SUSAN ❤️
You can use the spray before adding the foil to the stickers, that’s what i do before laminating my stickers :)
ah that's a great tip! will def give that a try 🥰
What spray?
@@Ketsukii the spray she talked about in the video
This was SOOOO helpful ! But how did you get your stickers to print on a full sheet of paper ?! I always have to print within 6.75 x 9.25 and I feel like I just waste SOOO much real estate !
Always looking for a good waterproof sticker paper! Thank you!
I am having SUCH a hard time with the self-adhesive holographic laminate, and have been looking all OVER the internet for just holographic laminate without the adhesive. I had no idea the foil existed! What kind do you use? Now I'm having trouble finding that! lol
Same here! I cannot find the roll that she used
OH SO THATS HOW TO DO IT
Your shirt is so cute! Your whole intro is so aesthetic.✨
thats my favorite shirt as of late! i've been wearing it to death 😅
Thank you so much for the tip! I will be trying this with my own Etsy sticker designs 😁
Its like you knew I needed this... thank you!!
Hi I once tried the heat laminating variant and after the foil took the surface was kinda rough and hazy is it a normal thing for the heat laminating foil? I hink I saw these on your sticker as wel like it takes away a bit of color? thank you
Congratulations on the work.
Thank you so much for making this video! Very clear and informative, just what I needed! ♥
Whoa, you foiled straight onto the matte?!
For the laminator way:
Couldn't you do the laminating before cutting the stickers out with the plotter? So you don't need the printer paper as a backing?
Thanks for the tip! Really helped! Also you're looking great! You go girl! x
Thank you for this!~ Do you know if I can print the stickers one day and then use the foil on laminator a few days later??? I know its a strange questions, but I want to know if the holo will work if it's not put on right after printing.....Thank you to anyone who knows the answer!
I was so excited then when I received my glitter films, I tried and it would not stick to the vinyl sticker or on anything. Help pls :(
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome job explaining and thanks for that tip! 🥰
yay! thank you for watching ❤️
Wow thank you for a great tutorial and for sharing where you get your holo adhesives!! I've been looking everywhere for a chance to try it out myself and this has been super helpful!~
ahh so glad it was helpful for you! 💕
The title said you can make it at home, and I got an advert that said, "No home" 😂
Omg it's so cute😍😍😍😍
Thank you for your tutorial! I was putting the holographic vinyl over the black line. Is that why the Cricut machine would sometimes not cut the design correctly? Sometimes it cut correctly, sometimes not, and sometimes it couldn’t even read the stickers.
4:10 sorry for the ignorance. But why don't you foil the stickers first, the full page, then cut them out?
For the hot foil 1 I recommend a self adhesive laminate over it
Why? I use hot foil that's why and haven't used adhesive
@@stephaniezee9704 hot laminate dulls out the foil
Yesss finally someone with the same issue.... rampaging yt bc the spray killed my holo on my stickers.
When I do the adhesive overlay, my stickers do not cut out centered.
omg this was SOO helpful! I have been watching so many videos but this is the best one so far. I love that you share all your materials, it is a blessing! I do have a question tho when you use the self adhesive laminating, are you still using light cardstock as your setting to cut it?
I did the self adhesive stickers but when I went to cut it on my cricut it was way off cutting my stickers out ? Help!
Saaaame !! It’s draving me crazy !!
Yup! I messed up so many and wasted several sheets. Must be some solution.
Please keep making videos like this one. I love your channel
hehe thank you for the love! 💕
Congrats on the 30k!! 🥳
YAY thank youuuuu ❤️
Such a cute idea! Thanks for sharing! 💕
no problem! thank you for watching ❣️
You're awesome! Tks for all tips and tutorials!
of course! thank you for watching 💕
Great video. Thanks. What is the pressure of the blade for the self adhesive over sticker paper please.
This is so awesome and I cant wait to holo my stickers!!! Thank you!
omg yessssss! and then show me your results! 🥰
thanks for the video, how do you make glitter stickers?
This is a great video! I found this video so useful and simple to follow! :)
question… is the laminator hot or cold? (Cause I bought a laminator idk what to do or is it ok?)
Subscribed even before being asked to do so ♥
That was amazing..what kind of specific holographic roll u are using?pls advise
This video was so so needed, thank you!

When using the self adhesive holographic overlay what setting did you use to cut through both the sticker and the overlay?
Hey, i've seen others use cardstock or hard cardstock setting and then pressure cutting on more to cut laminated stickers. Hopefully, it helps.
kitty thank you ^_^
@@saralapoint7512 of course, no problem!
This is so great!!! Thank you so much!!!! 💖💖💞💞💞🌸🌸✨✨✨

Why not get Crichton to cut out the laminate instead of cutting manually; it would get the perfect size
😊
Wow loved them💕 hope to make some
Great job
ahhh please do! and then show me hehe ☺️
You are goals 😍
How did you get the foil to stick on inkjet designs? I was reading and it says laser printed designs stick better to foil.
Can I use a cricut press ion instead of a laminator?
Can u make a tutorial on how to make a 3D stickers?
Thank you for this! Really informative and helpful. 🥰
glad it helped! ❤️
hey thanks for the hot laminate stickers tutorial. always wondered how to do them :3
glad it helped! ❤️

If you dont have a laminator, can you use an Iron ?
Could you use the self adhesive holo sticker on clear stickers?
Yup
Would you recommend using the spray on normal stickers to make them waterproof? x
Old video, but I wonder why transfer holo paper is impossible to find? I don't really trust aliexpress. Any other places you recommend?? Thanks
Loved the video Susan! :) Thanks for sharinggg.
of course! thank you for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing this content, it's awesome! Do you think that this holographic laminate foil-on might work on clear sticker paper??
Very helpful

thank you for sharing this!
of course! ❤️
Awesome video! You’re an answer to my prayer! I’ve tried the foil on, but mine is patchy 😞 I’ll try it again.
hmm i like to run it through the laminator a few times to make sure it sticks all the way! also the type of paper you're using also make a difference
@@PaperuStudio thank you! I’ll try different papers.
Can this method be used for acrylic?

Thank you so much for the tips! xoxo
hehe of course 💕
I feel like the laminate one didnt come out as foggy than the foil..
but I have a laminate one and its still quite crappy foggy looking :/
Thank you!
what type of file type have you found is best to retain quality when making a jpeg into a holographic sticker
Kia Ora
How much all up would that cost
For each part and equipment used please 🙏
