My First Planner Stickers

I was intimidated - at first - by planner stickers.  There are so many ideas out there and so many super cute stickers I want to buy.  I knew, though, that there are a few stickers that are simple and I could make myself.  I googled how to make a sticker with the Silhouette and you can find so many videos out there that will show you how. 
I have a bunch of sticker paper that I bought from World Label.  They have plenty of freebies on their blog, by the way, for organization.  I have used their kitchen labels and they worked perfectly for my Tupperware containers. 
I have a Silhouette Cameo, which I have used so much for random crafts, like for my cards, vinyl, and heat transfer.  I have never made stickers though - so when my first ones came out fine I was super excited!
 I love using some of the stickers that I've bought - but I get so many extras of things I never use.  I've bought the Flylady calendar stickers.  They are small and fit in my planner just fine.  But like I said... lots of extras that I just don't end up using. 
I also use them, not so much for decoration - but for function.  I do have a few decoration stickers though - but not many.
  These are the first stickers I've made:
They are for my laundry days.  I like being accountable for what I have to do during the week. I get easily sidetracked. 
The little laundry hamper comes from Clip Art Panda.  There are so many sites out there with free clipart.  If you can get a really good little pic that will work for you - its easy! 
The World Label sticker paper I used comes in 8.5 x 11 but I didn't need a whole sheet of the stickers right away.  I will print and cut as needed, so I cut the paper in half.
I am attaching the Silhouette file for now until I figure out how to attach a PDF of it.  It prints on a 5.5 x 8.5 piece of paper.  Make sure you change your paper settings on your printer before you print.  I had to make a custom page setting for my printer before I was able to print.
This is a free printable for your personal use - NOT for sale. If you share this with others please direct them or link back to my blog.  If you have any questions, just let me know.  
Also, if you do use it, please leave me a comment.  
I sure would appreciate knowing who is getting some use out of these.  I have other stickers I am slowly making, so I will share as I make them for myself.

    1. I do not have the Cricut. I used to have one a few years ago but the software did was not very friendly for making my own designs. I used to use Sure Cuts a Lot but after they updated the firmware it was no longer user friendly. And it didn't have the print and cut feature like the new explore.

  2. Thank you for the freebie! I like these, they're different from the usual empty laundry baskets/washing machines you find on Etsy.
