Silhouette UK: Rose Gold Adhesive foil Jar labels

Hi everyone. It's Verity here from Pretty Little Button bringing you another project. This week the design team has been asked to use rose gold foil in a project, so I have created this fun Jam Jar label using the printable adhesive foil sticker sheets. This is a very quick post showing how quick and easy it is to use to inspire you to create some beautiful labels for your handmade goods. I used the Crossed Arrows Frame by Sophie Gallo, making this a very quick project as most of the hard work was already done! The adhesive foil sheets have a decent thickness to them, so it makes quite a substantial label, great if you decided to sell any of your handmade goodies....your labels will look very professional!

Rose Gold Adhesive foil Jar label details:

First of all, add the print & cut registration marks to your design window. Load your design into the design space - as I said I have used the Crossed Arrows Frame by Sophie Gallo. This frame has a great space inside to add the writing to the label.

Send this to the printer and load the printed sheet onto your mat. Before sending this to cut, you need to decide how you want to cut it out. You could cut the exact outline to the label, or alternatively, you could add a small offset to the design. This will give a small border around your label, which I think looks more professional.

Load your mat into your machine and make sure the area around the blade is well lit. This will help the machine to register the marks when you send it to cut. If you are struggling with the machine registration your marks even with manual registration, move the light around slightly until it registrars.

To cut the label, I selected the Printable foil option in the material drop-down list. Make sure you do a test-cut first as the cutting settings may vary depending on the quality of your blade etc. The more the blade is used the duller it will be and therefore you may need to adjust your settings slightly to get the best cut.

Once cut, you need to adhere the label to your jar. Before you do so, I would advise you to clean the surface of the jar. If there is any sticker residue left over from an old label, you can use nail varnish removed/alcohol wipes to help remove it this. Adhere the label and burnish down for a good seal.
