Here are the spec's and tutorial for the "Vinyl Sticker Design"
The Vinyl Process is not difficult but lengthy, you MUST follow these steps in order to have a design that can be cut out successfully.
1. Create a Design using the pen tool, there is NO other option here unless you are using shape created by Photohop, we need a vector outline in order to create an edge to be cut out.
2. You can either use the pen tool to trace over an existing design or create your own from scratch. DO NOT add layer styles,
they will not convert over successfully as a vector.
3. Any text used will work and automatically have a vector output, make sure that you do not rasterize or filter the text.
4. Make sure that all your shapes are completely closed, lines will not work, you must pay attention to the positive and negative space, your entire design is created
soley out of + and - space..
Things to remember:
**Do not rasterize anything or put any filters into your design
**Do not add Layer Styles
**Use the Pen and/or Shape tool and Text tool only!
**Make sure to delete any image layers before saving
**All shapes must be closed, no lines...they won't work...
