Step 1

(optional) You may want to add an outline to your word art to make it look like a sticker. To do this, right-click on a layer in the layers palate and select simplify layer. Then click on Edit at the top of the screen. Under that, click on Stroke (Outline) Selection. In the pop-up screen, make the width 10 px. (You may want to experiment with this value for your font size and preference.) Click on the color box; then click on white and hit OK. For location, click on outside. Keep blending mode normal and opacity 100%. Uncheck preserve transparency and hit OK. Repeat for each text layer.
Step 3

(optional) You may want to add a shadow to your word art. Give your word layers a drop shadow by applying the low drop shadow under the effects menu. To adjust the amount of shadow, double-click on the "fx" on the layer in the layers palate. In the pop-up, make the size and distance of the shadow 6px and set the opacity to 40%. Experiment to get the look you want.
