It is an illustration style that copies a die-cut vinyl sticker: bold dark outlines, a few flat colors, a thick white border that follows the shape and a slight shine. Use it for icons, social posts, characters and whole themed sheets. On Nano Banana 2.1 an image costs 10 credits.
What makes the look
The subject can be anything. These cues make the drawing look printed on vinyl and cut out.
A thick white edge that follows the outline of the art, with a soft drop shadow so it lifts off the background.
One dark line weight around every shape, so the drawing stays clear at icon size.
A few flat fills and no soft gradients. Small details get lost at sticker size.
Glossy vinyl catches a highlight, matte stays soft, and a peeled corner shows the white back of the sticker.
Attach a photo of yourself and ask for sticker art.
Each card shows the prompt, the model and what the image costs. Copy a prompt and swap in your own subject. The examples were made on Nano Banana 2, which Nano Banana 2.1 replaced.
A kawaii sticker sheet of smiling food characters: a dumpling with rosy cheeks, a cup of bubble tea with a straw, an onigiri with a seaweed band, a slice of toast with butter, a strawberry, a ramen bowl and a tiny fried egg. Each is a die-cut vinyl sticker with a thick white border and a soft drop shadow, laid out on a pale peach backing sheet. Flat colors, clean dark outlines, glossy vinyl sheen, no text.
A laptop sticker pack for programmers, laid out as die-cut vinyl stickers on a light grey backing sheet: a yellow rubber duck with headphones, a steaming coffee mug, a cat asleep on a keyboard, a green bug under a magnifying glass, a small cloud with a lightning bolt, a terminal window with a blinking cursor and a cactus in a pot. Thick white borders, bold outlines, flat bright colors, slight vinyl gloss, no text, no logos.
A close product photo of a single die-cut vinyl sticker half peeled off its backing paper on a wooden desk: the sticker shows a red-capped mushroom cottage with a round door, a chimney puffing smoke and tiny flowers around it. Thick white border following the outline, glossy laminate catching the light, the curled corner showing the white back. Soft window light, shallow depth of field, no text.
A retro 1970s sticker sheet: a striped sunset over a hill, a rainbow with puffy clouds, a smiling daisy, a roller skate, a mushroom, a peace dove and a cassette tape. Each is a die-cut sticker with a thick white border, flat colors in mustard, burnt orange, avocado green and cream, bold rounded outlines, slight paper grain. Laid out on a warm cream backing sheet, flat overhead view, no text.
A houseplant sticker sheet: a monstera in a terracotta pot, a trailing pothos in a hanging basket, a round cactus with a pink flower, a snake plant, a tiny succulent in a teacup and a watering can. Die-cut vinyl stickers with thick white borders and a matte finish, flat greens with soft shading, clean dark outlines, arranged on a pale sage backing sheet with small gaps between them. Flat overhead view, no text.
A set of outdoor travel stickers stuck on the lid of a dented silver water bottle lying on its side: a camper van under pine trees, a round mountain badge with a sunrise, a tent beside a campfire, a kayak on a lake and a compass. Die-cut vinyl stickers with thick white borders, flat colors, bold outlines, a few edges slightly scuffed. Bright outdoor light, a picnic table behind it out of focus, no text, no logos.
Name one character or object, or a theme and every item on a sheet. Five to eight items fit well on one square image.
Say thick white die-cut border, flat colors and bold outlines, then glossy or matte. Add no text, since the model can misspell words.
For real stickers, make your favorites as single images and follow the stickers guide: the Sticker tool cuts each one out, adds a border and lays out a print sheet.
This page is about the look: a drawing that already looks like a printed vinyl sticker, for posts, icons or a mock sheet. To print stickers, see the stickers page: the Sticker tool cuts out any image, adds a border in one of five finishes and lays out a print sheet.
The image is a picture of a sheet, not a cut file. For printing, make each sticker as its own image, then use the Sticker tool to add a cut line and build a sheet.
Put every sticker on one sheet, or reuse the same style words, palette and line weight in each prompt. Attaching one finished sticker as a reference keeps the next ones close.
