This is really helpful. I can’t wait to try it, it hurts to throw away half a sheet of expensive sticker paper lol. What is the purpose of the tape box? Thanks for posting this!
Jamela Porter says
So you can place the paper in the exact spot it needs to be in.
Ree says
A ha! Thank you! I’m going to be working on my project with sticker paper this weekend. 🙂
Jacquie says
Can you explain the purpose of the registration marks in PhotoShop? Thank you!
K says
They’re meant to make the image bigger then it actually is
Hope McIntosh says
Is there an alternative app we could use instead of Photoshop? I don’t want to have to pay for it.
Jamela Porter says
I’m sure there is, however, I am not sure which you can use.
Henry says
InkScape if you want something like Illustrator, Gimp if you want something like Photoshop. Both completely free and available on Windows/Linux.

Hi! I have been at this for over 3 hours now and no matter what I do I just can’t get them lined up. I have followed the instructions to the letter but for some reason I still get a small offset on the bottom or the side of my stickers. Any tips? Thank you!
