How do I do this?
Is there an app that works on iPhone to do it? I was playing around with the PL app, but apparently adding text is an additional charge.
I have a Mac book too. And whatever basic word software is in included there. Would that work?
Is there a Tech Dummy 101 method I can get started with?
And what brand of sticker paper do you recommend for an ink jet printer?
Thank you!

What kind of stickers are you trying to make?
Avery has full sheet (8.5x11) sticker paper. Print like normal and cut it how you like.

Use the pages app on a Mac for basic things.
For the Pages App, I type up whatever I want to be on the sticker, and just run my sticker paper through my printer (it's not a laser printer though, so maybe that changes things? I dunno).
Do you have any photoshop programs? You can use them as well. Probably Canvas as well, but I dont know how to do that.

You can print from Google Docs as well, just type and print. I have an inkjet printer that I use for all my printing. I've tried different types of sticker paper, my least favorite is the Staples full sheet sticker paper, it's too thin and a bit transparent. I like the Neato brand, it's a bit more thick than the Staples brand. The Avery brand is great but expensive.
If I'm printing to put journaling on a card, I measure the space on the card and make a textbox about that size and type out my journaling then trim it out. If I'm printing to make stickers, I'll just print the images on the sticker paper then do a trace through my silhouette software (plus other things but there are tons of tutorials for that on the internet).
I also use the sticker paper to stamp on and cut out those stamped images sometimes.

Adding text in the PL app is an extra charge? Since when?

If you want to add text outside of a journaling card ie on a photo or decorative card you need the Free Form Text upgrade. If you use the app a lot, it is well worth it as well as adding additional fonts.

As soon as I tap on the icon to add text this pops up: “First came sliced bread, then came Freeform Text in the Project Life App!! This feature will make the Project Life App even more game-changing and flexible than ever before - for only $4.99! With Freeform Text you can: • Add multiple text boxes to any card or photo • Resize + rotate text with simple drag controls • Include different sizes + colors of text in any pocket • Customize your layouts like never before” I’d add a screenshot, but I don’t remember how to. |

Oh my goodness. I don't remember ever having to pay for it but I must have at some point lol. I know I've had it for many years. |
