In this tutorial I'll show you how to add a white edge to stickers that you can print and cut with your Silhouette CAMEO or Portrait.

Start by importing your sticker designs into Silhouette Studio.

I'm using this Cheerleading set from So Fontsy's Fall Sports Design Bundle.

You can choose to import the PNG or the SVG (Designer Edition is required). The PNG files will be auto-traced to create cut lines as long as you have that option turned on.

To make a border you'll want to use the Offset tool. Select the Offset tool from the right sidebar to open the panel.

Select all of the images and then click "Offset." Don't click Apply yet.

This will add an offset or white border at the default distance. But if you look closer it may add a whole bunch of interior cut lines too.

If you increase the Offset Distance the white border will get bigger...keep increasing it until most of the interior cut lines disappear.

Then click Apply.

You may still have some unwanted cut lines in larger spaces.

You can remove these by clicking directly on the cut line > right click > Release Compound Path.

This will then give you access to select the unwanted cut line and delete it.

Move to the Send panel and you'll see where all your cut lines are. The quickest way to turn off all cut lines with the exception of the very outer line is to select everything then click "Cut Edge."

This will turn off any interior cut lines - including those around the sticker design itself.

Now you're ready to set you up your page for print and cut and make the Silhouette Stickers with a white edge.

I printed this set on Online Labels Sticker paper - like I always do. It prints well on all my printers and cuts kiss cut stickers perfectly!
