🎉 How to Create a Printable Sticker Sheet Using Canva

Hey, creative soul! 👋

Are you obsessed with stickers? (Same here. 🙋‍♀️) Whether you use them for planners, scrapbooking, journaling, happy mail, or just for fun—there’s something so satisfying about designing your own.

And guess what? You don’t need expensive software or fancy gear. All you need is Canva and a sprinkle of imagination. ✨

In this post, I’m walking you through how to create your very own printable sticker sheet—perfect for gifting, decorating, or even selling in your Etsy shop. (Yes, friend—you can turn this hobby into a side hustle if you want to!)

Let’s get sticking!

💡 What You’ll Need to Get Started

• A free (or Pro) Canva account

• Sticker graphics (drawn by you or elements from Canva!)

• A standard page size (US Letter or A4)

• Access to a printer OR a place to print locally

• Printable sticker paper (matte or glossy—your choice!)

• Scissors or a cutting machine like Cricut or Silhouette (optional, but fun!)

🖼 Step 1: Set Up Your Sticker Sheet in Canva

1. Log in to Canva and click “Create a Design” → “Custom Size.”Use 8.5 x 11 inches (or A4) to fit standard printable paper.

2. Give your project a name you’ll remember—something like “Spring Planner Stickers” or “Doodle Sheet #1.”

3. Add a white or light-colored background for the best sticker visibility.

🎨 Step 2: Add Your Stickers

There are a few fun ways to do this:

Option 1: Use Canva Elements

Search for graphics in the “Elements” tab—look for terms like “kawaii,” “planner,” “pastel,” “doodle,” or “icon.” Choose free or Pro elements based on your subscription.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep the theme consistent. For example:

• Cozy autumn stickers

• Productivity icons

• Self-care doodles

• Bible journaling prompts

Option 2: Upload Your Own Art

Drew something on Procreate or scanned a sketch? Upload it to Canva, remove the background (Pro feature), and arrange it on your sheet!

🧩 Step 3: Arrange and Resize

• Leave a little white space between each design so they’re easy to cut

• Group similar designs together (like headers, icons, or quotes)

• Add light dotted lines or guides if you want to show cut boundaries (optional)

Remember: this is your sheet! Have fun with the layout and make it feel like you.

🖨 Step 4: Download and Print

Once your design looks just right:

1. Click “Share” → “Download”

2. Choose PDF Print for the best quality

3. Click “Flatten PDF” if available

4. Print on sticker paper (available on Amazon, Cricut, or office supply stores)

Don’t have a printer? No problem! Upload your file to Staples, Office Depot, or another local print shop. Easy peasy!

✂️ Step 5: Cut + Enjoy!

You can:

• Use scissors for a fun, crafty cut

• Try a paper trimmer for straight edge labels

• Upload your sheet to Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio to create cut files

Once cut, your stickers are ready to decorate notebooks, planners, gifts, journals, and more. Seriously—sticker joy is real joy. 💛
