How to Download the Files
The printable fussy cuts files are complied into a zip file. You will need an unzip program such as izip or 7-zip to extract them.
How to Print
Set your printer to print at 100% actual size. The wording for this setting may be different depending on what type of printer or software you are using.
Open the pdf file in a pdf reader such as Adobe Reader and print out the pages. You can print the files onto good quality copy paper, or you can print them onto white sticker paper or clear sticker sheets to make stickers. Your printer may have a special paper setting for sticker paper. If not, print at high quality for best results, then allow to dry before using.
How to Cut
- By hand
Cut the stickers by hand using scissors or a craft knife. For complex shapes, leave a small margin around the edges.
- Silhouette Cameo
- If your download includes a file for silhouette cameo, open the “Studio3” folder and open the files in Silhouette Cameo software.
- Place the printed page on a cutting mat and feed it into your machine.
- Choose “White Sticker Paper” and adjust the blade, thickness and speed to match your sticker paper.
- Click “Send to Silhouette”.

How to Make Stickers for Digital Planners and Journals
While these files are intended to be used as printables, you can also use the stickers in your digital planners and journals. To do this you will need to extract each of the stickers individually from the PNG file in a photo editing program such as Photoshop using the selection tool or the laso tool.
