-What’s the difference between “kiss cut” and “die cut”? +
-Sticker paper has two layers:  +
-1. The top layer that you print on and is sticky on the back. +
-2. The shiny backing paper that you discard after peeling. +
-Kiss cut:  +
- the sticker is cut through the top layer of paper only, leaving background or backing paper around the sticker.  +
-“Die cut”:+
  the sticker is cut all the way out, through the top layer AND backing paper.  the sticker is cut all the way out, through the top layer AND backing paper.

 +**Step 2:**
  
 +SilhouetteStudio will automate a red cut line, but it needs some help. I use “offset” to give the sticker’s edge a lil breathing room.
  
 +You can also use “trace” instead of the automatic line. It detects the shape of your sticker and “traces” the outline of it.
  
 +**Step 3:**
  
-...and pop it into the cutting program of choice+Arrange the stickers on the page. Once the cut line is set up, all you have to do is copy + paste the sticker as many times as you need. I usually fit about 6 stickers per page, depending on the size of the sticker. The most common size I make is 2.5-3 inches tall.
  
 +**Step 4:**
  
-Step 2: +Can't forget to turn on registration marks! These marks tell the Silhouette where your stickers are on the page and therefore where to cut.

 +Tips, Tricks, N’ Other Info:**
 +
 +  * Replacing mats when they lose stickiness is expensive and creates a lot of plastic waste. Washi tape is a biodegradable way to secure paper to the cutting mat! Just use a lot of it.
 +  * Silhouette Studio paywalls a lot of features. Keep an eye out for discounts and sales, I got mine on Swing Design. There may be better indie alternatives out there as well, but I haven’t tried any to recommend.
 +  * Check thrift stores for sticker supplies!
 +  * Cutters can be very naughty. Have patience! It took me a solid 2 years before I really understood how to operate it, and I’m still learning daily!
