How to Create Amazing Stickers to Sell on Etsy for Free with Leonardo AI
Thanks to Leonardo AI, you can generate as many images as you want for commercial use with your Free plan, including creating fantastic stickers.
The only limitation is that you can use a maximum of 150 tokens per day. Once you exhaust your daily limit, you’ll need to wait for the next day to begin.
However, this limitation is not restrictive, especially if you’re looking to start a business in this field completely for free.
You can begin by creating your stickers using the Free plan. If you find that the results are promising and that increasing your “production” can lead to higher earnings, upgrading won’t be a problem.
In any case, the fact that Leonardo AI offers its artificial intelligence completely for free to generate images for commercial use is truly fantastic.
To create great stickers, it’s important to use appropriate prompts. In this guide, we’ll explore some prompts that can help you create splendid stickers to sell on Etsy.
While you can sell your stickers anywhere, I mention Etsy because it’s an excellent marketplace for digital products, such as sticker image files.
By selling your stickers as digital products, you won’t even have to worry about choosing a printing company. Your customers can decide where to get the sticker images printed from the vendors they purchase from.
Now, let’s get to the point and explore some prompts that can yield good results.
Please note that with Leonardo AI, you have the option to set additional parameters that significantly influence the outcome, such as the “Finetuned Model,” the “Magic Prompt,” and “High Contrast.”
Let’s start with a prompt that I find highly effective for creating stickers using Leonardo AI, leveraging the Finetuned Model “Leonardo Diffusion” and the Magic Prompt:
“STICKER: Create a detailed illustration of a lovely and cute Labrador dog. Use 3D vector art with cute and quirky elements.
Add a touch of fantasy art and apply a watercolor effect with a bokeh background.
Utilize Adobe Illustrator for digital painting and soft lighting to create a bird’s-eye view perspective.
Focus on the character with a 4K resolution, ensuring photorealistic rendering. Avoid using outlines and opt for a black background.”
The resulting sticker image is as follows:

What do you think about this?
Ideas and creativity make the difference here.
In fact, I used the same prompt, with some minor modifications, to generate more impactful images. With this prompt,
“STICKER, A detailed illustration a print of lovely cute dog Labrador who is listening to music with headphones on, 3D vector art, cute and quirky, fantasy art, watercolor effect, bokeh, Adobe Illustrator, digital painting, soft lighting, bird’s-eye view, focused on the character, 4K resolution, photorealistic rendering, no outline, black background”

Then I asked in the prompt to include a detail about the country of origin of the Labrador Retriever breed, Canada, and this was the result:

Not bad, I must say!
But now let’s try using the same prompt, but with a different Finetuned model.
Finetuned Model: Leonardo Creative

Finetuned Model: Leonardo Select

Finetuned Model: Leonardo Signature

Finetuned Model: DreamShaper V6

Finetuned Model: Stable Diffusion 1.5

Finetuned Model: Stable Diffusion 2.1

Finetuned Model: RPG 4.0

I could continue with hundreds of other models because the ones used so far are just the basic ones.
There are also all the models created by the community, so the options are endless.
The important thing is to understand how the style changes while keeping the same prompt and only varying the Finetuned model.
If you have any interesting Finetuned models in mind, feel free to write them in the comments so we can test them out.
