Flat Embossing with a Cricut (Overview) 

Your tutorials are the best. I appreciate the straight to the point approach. They are well organized and have great editing.

I only just found you today and I'm beyond thrilled! I have been thinking about doing this with my Maker for quite a while. I watched your video, downloaded the file, watched the video as I performed the steps, and it worked! My printer won't take 110 lb card stock so I will print and cut two from lighter card stock and stick them together around the peremeter and around the design. I think that should work. Thank you very much for posting this tutorial. It is very easy to follow and understand. I look forward to making my own designs and embossing them for cards! Again, thank you!

Love it, no handsy chat, just a to the point get it done tutorial. I'm hooked, ty.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Hopefully it still works 3 years later. Will be watching the "create your own" next.

Seriously! This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. SO clear, concise and the videoing/filming techniques are awesome!

I wish you could possibly know how much I've learned from you over the years. Thanks for sharing this technique. I will definitely be giving this a try!

I did a quick try of this tonight. Extremely cool. Thanks for reminding me of it. It's actually one of the reasons I bought a Cricut...then forgot all about it. Omg... I LOVE listening to you. I'm so jealous of your voice. I have spasmodic dysphonia, and embarrass myself to death every time I open my mouth. What I wouldn't give to have a normal voice again. : ) You're awesome to do such detailed tutorials of such creative projects. Thank you so much!

What a great tutorial. I've always intended to do this, but this video is inspiring. I had to share it with all my Cricuteers!

I am so impressed with this tutorial. I leave so many not having a clue what I just watched. You made this so clear and solved a dozen issues for me . Thank you! I sub'd so I wouldn't miss a thing in the future!

OUTSTANDING! You are so smart. I never understood why Cricut did not inclde embossing in their program. Thank you. Truly CLEVER!

Wow! Great tutorial! I'm working with leather and thinking through some of your shared techniques of embossing it. One of the best clear tutorials I've seen in my searches! Following you for future videos!

Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I’ve found for “embossing” with the cricut!!

I like your well worded, no nonsense approach. Also you are saving me time by figuring out settings etc. thank you.

Great video! Thank you for speaking clearly and for giving precise explanation. And I like the way you pointed out the differences in machines. You've got yourself a new subscriber...I very much look forward to learning more from you!

This worked beautifully. This one technique opens many creative doors. Thank you.

Thank you for the instructions. They are simple to follow and complete. I am so excited to get to emboss with my Maker, no need to buy an embossing machine. I am looking forward to designing my own creations!!

Oh my goodness! I am so excited about this tutorial!!! I love this design as I was wanting to do this to create some vintage designs for my bathroom tile wall for a little change in decor without a lot of painting a clean wall.. Just clean up my wall and add the designs to the tile blocks. Thank you....I plan to watch more and I just subscribed to your channel so I want miss out on more goodies:-)

Just wanted to say think you and I am using this technique on a fairly complex holiday card. I am using the method with the printed rectangle as the register - making 125 have to replace the stencil from time to time but the registration really works! Very cool thanks for teaching us. A little tip I never could figure out how to draw the registration border in design space, once I drew it in illustrator along with the other artwork all was good.

This is so clever and easy once you see it that I had to hit my head and go duh! Thank you so much for sharing this and I will add that you don’t have to wait for “someday” - you are very clever!❤️😊

Very clever indeed! You have just saved me hundreds of dollars!! Thank you so much, I love it!

I am not sure if you record your video and then explain, but it's perfect! This is the first video of yours I've seen, definitely a new subscriber. Great job, very informational and can't wait to see your other videos. 😀

You are A-MAZE-ING!!! Thank you so much! I've had to do some tricks of my own to get what I want....today I learned a new one!

I love this! I've been wondering if this could be done. Thank you for your video! I look forward to seeing more on this topic.

Happy to see what I can do with my Cricut Explorer. Thank you for this brilliant tutorial.

Brilliant!!! Look forward to many more of your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️. Great instructing!!!!

Game changer!! I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Love! You explained it so simply and well!

Amazing and creative way to achieve the embossing goal! Thanks for this video..

Thanks so much for this, I was struggling to get it all to line up when working on a print then cut project. This worked really nicely. My own riff on it: I wanted to use kraftboard for my stencil, but unfortunately my printer wouldn't print on it as it's too thick, so I printed on normal paper, then sprayed the back with adhesive then stuck the two together. Worked like a charm.

I have learnt so much from you. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

Thank you for the step by step, easy to follow tutorial.

This is AMAZING!! I love learning next-level Cricut skills, because vinyl and sub are not my jam.

Wow! This is soooo awesome! Thank you. Really enjoy your vids!

Luv this. I never thought it would be possible to do this with a Cricut. Thanks for sharing!

Love it thank you so much

Sure wish I knew about your site long time a go THANKS

This is brilliant

Absolutely Brilliant! Thanks so much :).

Outstanding!!!

I love this.

Great video and explanation and thanks for adding how things were done in the "old days". It all makes more sense. I have the Maker and had a lot of trouble with the stylus popping out or tearing the 80gsm paper. From your explanation, it gave me the confidence to try some other options to get the result I needed. I eventually got a great result by changing project to Deboss Tip and only debossing once on 216gsm paper. My stencil was also 216gsm as 300 gsm wouldnt go through my printer. The fish is a bit tacky to the touch from the mat (blue mat) on the embossed side but I guess that is to be expected. It's funny, when i was watching it, I was expecting the stylus or deboss tip to go backwards and forwards to "fill in" the areas but of course it just does the outline. . The magic of the stencil allows the paper to match up with the outline! Genius! Thanks again for making this video, you have opened up a whole new world for me and feel like I have learnt a lot.

muito maravilhoso seu video!!!

Thank you for this.

FANTASTIC

Fantastic, I am going to us this.

This was perfect

Great idea. I gonna try this 😁🤗🇧🇪

Thank you!

indeed super cool!

Genius. I've been wondering if this was possible - I want to use my own designs and emboss them. Thanks much!

Dynamite! Thanks

Great vídeo!!!!

AMAZING!!

That is sooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man!! I thought the explore 3 couldn’t do it. But this is a great “hack”!!

Your channel name suits you ! Really Clever Somebody! One of the most creative person I have come across on RU-vid! Thank you so much for your clear, and fantastic videos! Btw, what can I do if my printer doesn’t accept heavy card stock?

Can I use me debossing tip to score?

wow awesome

I, too, really appreciate your tutorials and straightforward presentations. I'm still learning to use my Curio, which I bought with the idea of being able to emboss my own designs. The Curio embossing is disappointing. And I know now is limited to the 8.5" work surface; which is why I regret not buying the Cameo instead. I would, however, like to ask if this technique might be applied to use with the Curio. Thx

Genius!

What printer can use for 300gsm?

Hi there! Great instructional video! Thank you for sharing. I’d like to know what you’d suggest if I wanted to make embossed “stickers” or labels like such.

Hi, thank you so much for your videos! I’m having difficulty figuring out how to get my own files set up to do this. Do you happen to have a video that shows what’s done prior to the point this video starts?

I finally figured out my problems and it works beautifully. My question is do you have a video out on making these files on my own.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! Do you think if you put the gold foil pressure product you use on your other videos in between the paper face down it would make it embossed with gold? I love the video of the embossing from the circuit, but I noticed it only does an outline of an object or font. I am wondering if this would work if you wanted the whole image filled in with gold for example? or if you had any other thoughts on this.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that.

This awsome, only if I could get mine to work as I can't 😥

Great video, thank you. I have recently purchased the debossing tip for my maker. Will this tip achieve the same result?

This was a terrific video but now I have many questions about how to go about making embossing diagrams myself. Is it possible to have a one-on-one session with you where I could discuss with you the project that I'm interested in doing and how I could create the files I would need to do the embossing. Thanks very much.

Hi!! thank you very much for the tutorial and I want to do it with my designs but there is some steps in the creating the patern that I miss and I don't find where- can you help me with that.

Hi, how can I make two simple rectangles (outside lines only e.g. a border), each at 3.75" wide x 5" height so that I can adjust the thickness of the lines?

O-M-G!!! I have wanted to be able to do this with the Cricut for years because you can design and make some very elegant note cards and other stationery. I can partially see the one you have done with the monogram - LOVE IT! I bet you can also make the stencil with the plastic stencil blanks you can buy from Joanns. I also wonder if you can get a deeper embossing by gluing 2 layers of card stock together and then setting up the Cricut to cut it twice, or if that might be too deep and tear the card stock. Once I dig my Cricut out of storage I think I might do some experimenting.

Kay, I truly love the way you explain this, but I'm so frustrated with myself and my new Sure Cuts a Lot 4 Pro program. I realize that I'm asking alot but I need help. Do you have any suggestions?

This is fabulous. I had no clue you could do this with a Cricut. Do you know if you would you use the Fine Cricut Deboss Tool for this with a Maker?

Hi! I love this tutorial, thank you so much. I am wondering if the stylus is only able to "outline" or if it is actually embossing the entire stencil area. I was trying to do a simple shape, following your amazing instructions, but then the stylus was only outlining the shape. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how I can make it "fill" the shape (emboss the entire shape, not just the outline of it). Thanks again!

Great idea, can you do this with the brother scan and cut machines...thanks

I would love to know how you embossed the circle monogram. Any tips would be appreciated

Can you use the Debossing blade for the maker in place of the stylus for this tutorial?
