Too heavy?

Maybe -- check the paper weight against the Media Specifications.

and / or

Might be the (front side) print surface or even the backside of the sheet of stickers.

"Sticker Paper" is not specifically supported.

and / or

Could be a slippery backside on the paper sheets.

-- What? --

Presumably the paper would print -- so claim comments on the Cricut site and elsewhere.

The experience reported in the Community varies.

If the backside of the sheet slips or sticks while the sheet is traveling though the printer, the problem might result in job failure, balking, misalignment, jams, or other weirdness.
