Finding the perfect gif or sticker for your Instagram story is tough if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. To make things easier, I put together a list of my favorites.
I want to share some of my favorite GIF stickers! You can use the search bar to type in a keyword to help you find something unique.
Cute Instagram Story Stickers
The GIF section can be a bit overwhelming, and sometimes it can be hard to sift through them all to find aesthetic Instagram story stickers.
So I’ve put together a list of my fave artists to follow when looking for Insta story stickers and GIFs.
I’ve written out everyone’s name below exactly as you should search for their GIFs on Instagram – which is why many of the names don’t have spaces.
Coffee
These coffee stickers sway between cute and funny; some are even very artistic. These stickers are perfect for cafe photos and snapshots of your morning coffee.
Monday
Most Monday stickers will spell out the word in a stylish way. Many Instagram users use the Monday GIF stickers on their first day back to work.
Arrows
These arrow stickers are fantastic for emphasizing links, signs, and words. From straight, curved, and slanted lines, you can find all these under the “arrows” keyword.
Some arrows also come as a group or in a circle, so you’ll have many styles to choose from.
Click
When you want your followers to click on a link, you’ll definitely want to use some click arrows. Usually, these stickers are animated cursors that imitate the clicking pattern.
Some of these click stickers also have words like “Shop Now” or “Click Here” to encourage your followers to check the link out. So, they’re an excellent addition to posts with website links.
Boho
These Boho stickers are fun and whimsical. I like adding them to my lifestyle photos. Plus, Boho is easy to remember when searching for new stickers to use.
Sweater Weather
Now that fall is around the corner, using sweater weather stickers is now in trend. These stickers are the GIF personification of the fall and Halloween seasons.
Choose from stickers of hot cocoas, orange sweaters, and pumping spice lattes to liven up your stories.
Favorite Artists
Now that you have an idea of my favorite stickers, I’ll also give you a list of some of my favorite artists!
What’s great about this list is that the artists come from different backgrounds. So, their sticker packs give off different vibes.
Check them all out below!
VIPAPIER
VIPAPIER is both a sticker artist and an Instagram page all the way from Portugal. Its niche revolves around a soft aesthetic of planners and self-care.
You’ll love VIPAPIER if you’re into neutral and minimalistic designs. You’ll get a luxury feel from their feed alone, and they mirror this into their Instagram stickers.
When you search VIPAPIER in the GIF search bar, you’ll see stickers catering to their theme. They have everything from flowers, cursive words, and miscellaneous items that scream self-care.
VIPAPIER’s stickers work best for designs with neutral colors, such as white, beige, and pastel pink. If you want a little bit of contrast, they also have some quotation bubbles on a brown background. Plus, you can use their stickers if you’re sticking to a scrapbook vibe.
LIDIAONTHEROAD
If you need a motivational quote to stick to your story, head on to LIDIAONTHEROAD’s stickers. She’s a Hungarian artist who designs motivational and inspirational quotes for her Hungarian and international followers.
Searching for LIDIAONTHEROAD’s stickers will lead you to countless beautifully designed quotes. You’ll find them all under her stickers, whether for self-motivation or simply to lift someone else’s spirits.
Her stickers stand out because of the calligraphic approach to her style. She mixes this with neutral colors, so users can add them easily to their posts without ruining their aesthetics.
What’s more, Lidia has added many stickers to her repertoire. So, if you’re looking for specific coffee stickers, you can search for “lidiacoffee.”
Similarly, type in “lidiafall” for some “fall-related” stickers.
HANMADE
Looking for adorable designs with a black, pink, and white theme? Look no more because HANMADE is here to the rescue!
HANMADE is perfect for simple posts that need a little elegance. This artist’s stickers are usually made of phrases. Don’t fret, though, they also have some little hearts and assorted doodles.
This sticker pack may be one of the fanciest stickers out there. The swirls and twirls at the end of the words make these stickers look enchanting.
Some of my favorites are the elegant calligraphies of “thank you” with three little hearts flashing on top of the letter “u” and “home” with the most charming sets of stars around the word.
Be careful when searching for this artist’s name, though. Many users misspell the name HANMADE. So, you may not be able to find these artistic stickers if you accidentally type the name wrong.
GLADDEST
GLADDEST stickers are designed by the American artist, Mac Ford. If you’re looking for warm-toned stickers, she’s your gal.
Her sticker packs mirror what you see on her feed. Most of her stickers revolve around sunny-colored themes of food, flowers, plants, and other items.
GLADDEST also has some cool phrases written on warm backgrounds. Her most popular stickers are ones with short phrases on them like “thank you” and “my morning.”
On top of that, many users also love using her sparkly stickers and rainbow-colored designs. However, GLADDEST’s take on rainbow colors is more on the pastel side, where the colors are more toned down.
What’s excellent about GLADDEST stickers is that some of these sticker ideas came from her followers. Plus, she accepts orders for custom-made stickers.
The next time you want a personalized sticker, head to her Instagram page for more details.
RIZZPRINTS
RIZZPRINTS stickers ooze a more serious yet fun vibe if you add them to your story. Most of the stickers come in a white and printed theme. You’ll love this artist if you’re into stickers with a natural writing style vibe.
Instead of focusing on a theme, RIZZPRINTS’ distinctive feature is the art style. So, if you’re looking for some common phrases for a new post or a simple update, try to search for this sticker set.
You can also find some aesthetically pleasing icons for coffee, hearts, cameras, and many more under RIZZPRINTS. One of the most fun ones is the animated bite on a cookie until it’s left in crumbs.
JASMINESTAR
If you want a break from the typical world of icons and phrases, then you may want to check out the keyword JASMINESTAR on Instagram.
Unlike my previous favorite artists, Jasmine Star isn’t a digital artist. She’s an Instagram personality that helps entrepreneurs strategize their businesses. As a result, she makes sales-related videos and content for her Instagram page.
When it comes to her stickers, they’re fantastic for posts you want to add some movements into. Her facial expressions and wild arm movements create the perfect dramatic effect.
The majority of her stickers also have a positive attitude to them, which can make your followers feel energized. For example, add JASMINESTAR’s dancing GIF for a post on a Friday night out with your gals.
GREENDOTORI
Doodles, doodles, and more doodles are the amazing stickers you’ll get from GREENDOTORI’s sticker packs. From its monotonic color and thick lines of doodles, you’ll definitely find this sticker fun and cute.
GREENDOTORI is a Korean artist that actually does crochet. On the side, this artist designs stickers on Instagram.
Much like many artists, GREENDOTORI caters to many themes. So, you can choose from sparkles, arrows, phrases, heart doodles, and many more.
What’s great about this sticker pack is that it’s consistently white throughout. They’re an amazing addition to funky posts that need some animation. They’re also great for posts with dark backgrounds since these stickers will naturally pop out.
Bottom Line
