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!
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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!❤️😊
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:-)
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. 😀
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Finnley Kye i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
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.
Yes, I have done a newer video that shows using the Maker with the debossing tip. 216 gsm should work fine, especially with the debossing tip that has a shallower dwell anyway.
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.
The paper tearing is the limiting factor. You can try different media for both the stencil and the blank to get the optimum for what you are doing. I use plastic on the Curio technique but to do that on the Cricut is more complicated because you have to print. It is already double cutting, but you could also try more passes. Tons of variables you can fiddle with. I would love to see what you come up with!
Maybe. The criteria are that it has to be cuttable, printable and a color that the Cricut can read marks sensor marks clearly from (white for Explore, wider range of colors for Maker). If the material for the stencil is too thick the card stock being embossed will tear.
Yes, as I mentioned, you can layer media, and this is what I do with various plastics such as Michaels plastic poster board. However, chipboard may be too thick to not cause the card stock to break when embossed. It really depends on how thick the chipboard is.
I am proud of myself, I made an envelope for my sons wedding invitations, I used the blue cardstock, used the debossing tool, then foiled inside the emboss line, it worked really well. Only problem is Now I have to have 50 sheets of foil :(
Your channel name suits you ! Really Clever Somebody! One of the most creative person I have come across on TH-cam! Thank you so much for your clear, and fantastic videos! Btw, what can I do if my printer doesn’t accept heavy card stock?
Thanks for your kind comment! If printer doesn't accept heavy card stock, there are several options. My first recommendation would be to use printable magnet stock. That's more expensive, though, so another alternative is so print on full sheet sticker paper and then stick that on top of heavy card or poster board. You could also print on plain paper and attach with spray glue or xyron.
Thank you so much! Your prompt response is much appreciated!!!! I must learn time management from you too and how you get to do so much in so little time! I will try to support you in whatever way I can, even though I am financially tight. Your tips and tricks are really financial friendly! I am following you everywhere since I learnt about you lol. Your blog, your Pinterest! Thank you soooo much for all you do and most importantly your Honesty! :) Stay blessed
I do not use print and cut, so the weight of the cardstock is not an issue. Place and attach prepared image to a template you create to you specs in DS, hiding the scoring images when cutting, then hiding the cut image when scoring. Works very well for me, offers larger area for embossing, and is flexible, should you want to create a different template shape later.
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.
I have lots of additional information available at the blog post and video linked above in the video description. In addition, there is a new video that updates this process for the Maker and for new Design Space features. th-cam.com/video/2nLFnbFEgnw/w-d-xo.html If these don't answer your questions, please feel free to message me at cleversomeday.com/contact
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
tive um pouco de dificuldade pois recebi minha cricut tem pouco tempo e esse vídeo é um pouco avançado pra mim.. não consegui fazer nada com minha máquina ainda... em português existe quase nada ensinando .. isso é muito triste... e estou usando as legendas do you tube .. mas infelizmente a tradução não é muito boa... mas agradeço muito futuramente quero tentar fazer emboss. você explica maravilhosamente bem ... muito muito bom!!
O cool so that takes the place of all the hand embossing tools and machines one can just do all the embossing things in cricut. The only issue i am worried about is it won't get the depth or 3d look as the other embossing specific tools ? humm not sure that be way cool. Seen it done with embossing a couple thin copper metal sheets to in cricut .
When I first came up with this, embossing folders were still almost all 2d, not like now when you can hardly find ones that are 2D. I have done 3d with this technique, but it is very complicated and not something I can distill into a teachable form.
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.
Yes, it should work with the deboss tool. Look for the comment from @Kerrin Addis below as she has shared some additional info that might help with that.
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.
probably not unless you had just the right thickness and backed it with something that would help it hold the emboss. If you can emboss it by hand with a brass stencil, you should be able to emboss it with this method. i don't ever remember seeing leather embossed with a stencil.
Have you done a embossing video for the maker? I would like to see how to emboss rather than Deboss with the maker using this stencil technique. But I don't know how to build a file.
This process works exactly the same on Maker if you have a scoring stylus (choose Edit Tools to pick stylus instead of scoring wheel, which will be default). If you have a scoring wheel, it still works the same except you would choose Deboss from the operation type menu (instead of Score).
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?
Sorry but I don't have any experience with the Pro version. Did you try the craftedge forum or any of the SCAL facebook groups? Use the contact form on my blog to contact me if you don't find what you need. Its easier for me to help that way.
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?
Yes, part 2 of this is linked in the video description above, but you might also want to see the latest video, which shows you how to prepare a file in DS alone. th-cam.com/video/2nLFnbFEgnw/w-d-xo.html
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!
Getting an outline is easy, and doesn't take a special tutorial. The whole point of my method is to give you a flat embossed area as shown in the samples. If you are following the video exactly and only getting an outline you may have a mismatch between the A and B sides of your machine. You can compensate for the mismatch by shifting the draw layer; or switch to a B side tool like the foil tool. This is covered in my newer embossing video.
@@cleversomeday Thank you for such a fast reply! I am following the directions of this video because I have a Cricut Explore 3 which doesn't have the debossing tool, so I am trying to do it with the stylus like you showed in the original video. Whenever I select "score" on the offset layer, it shows the dotted outline and I'm not sure how to get it to be filled even though the file is a filled file. Does that. make sense? I really want it to have the full flat embossed look but it seems to only outline.
@@laurenjoygreen there is no fill in the file itself. The "fill" or flat area is created on the cardstock by the pressure of the stylus bearing against the cut edge of the stencil below it. If you aren't getting a flat area when you remove the piece at the end, then it is because the score line is not lining up with the stencil edge underneath it (wrong position wrong size or both).
Hi there, great video, cool design. Unfortunately, I am new to Cricut as my husband *just* bought me a Cricut Maker 3. Anyhow, why was it necessary to print the fish, first?
In this technique, we use the print then cut sensor to precisely position the embossing over the stencil. At the time it was the only way to do that but this technique has been updated (see newer videos on my channel) because we can now keep the mat loaded. You would still use print then cut to make a reusable stencil.
@@cleversomeday Thank you for your (prompt) response. Yes, I subsequently found your newer video. So I can skip the PRINTER portion and just do everything with my Cricut Maker 3? But once you unload the mat, you cannot reuse the stencil because it doesn't have that black border around it from the actual printer, is that correct?
@@jennabobenna3631 sort of. Its 2 entirely different means of holding the alignment between runs. One relies on the sensor, the other relies on the rollers.
Seriously! This is one of the best videos I’ve seen. SO clear, concise and the videoing/filming techniques are awesome!
OUTSTANDING! You are so smart. I never understood why Cricut did not inclde embossing in their program. Thank you. Truly CLEVER!
Love it, no handsy chat, just a to the point get it done tutorial. I'm hooked, ty.

Hay there I'm assuming you double or triple the stencil and glued them together to make more defined. Deeper/ raised which ever side your looking at
There is a limit to the thickness of stencil that can be used without tearing the paper.
Yes, I have done a newer video that shows using the Maker with the debossing tip. 216 gsm should work fine, especially with the debossing tip that has a shallower dwell anyway.
Thank you for the step by step, easy to follow tutorial.

Thank you for this.
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.
sticker paper could probably be substituted for the card stock blank in this process

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?
Yes, part 2 of this is linked in the video description above, but you might also want to see the latest video, which shows you how to prepare a file in DS alone. th-cam.com/video/2nLFnbFEgnw/w-d-xo.html
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!
Getting an outline is easy, and doesn't take a special tutorial. The whole point of my method is to give you a flat embossed area as shown in the samples. If you are following the video exactly and only getting an outline you may have a mismatch between the A and B sides of your machine. You can compensate for the mismatch by shifting the draw layer; or switch to a B side tool like the foil tool. This is covered in my newer embossing video.
@@cleversomeday Thank you for such a fast reply! I am following the directions of this video because I have a Cricut Explore 3 which doesn't have the debossing tool, so I am trying to do it with the stylus like you showed in the original video. Whenever I select "score" on the offset layer, it shows the dotted outline and I'm not sure how to get it to be filled even though the file is a filled file. Does that. make sense? I really want it to have the full flat embossed look but it seems to only outline.
@@laurenjoygreen there is no fill in the file itself. The "fill" or flat area is created on the cardstock by the pressure of the stylus bearing against the cut edge of the stencil below it. If you aren't getting a flat area when you remove the piece at the end, then it is because the score line is not lining up with the stencil edge underneath it (wrong position wrong size or both).
I printed the directions from yur blog. Tried it! I came out perfectly! Now how do I do this with my own design of choice? Thank you for Sharing!!!
So glad to hear that! The link to the followon video is in this video's description above.
@@cleversomeday Thank you!!!!
Great video, thank you. I have recently purchased the debossing tip for my maker. Will this tip achieve the same result?
maybe, but the dwell on the debossing tip is very shallow, so not 100% sure.
Great vídeo!!!!
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing that.
Hi there, great video, cool design. Unfortunately, I am new to Cricut as my husband *just* bought me a Cricut Maker 3. Anyhow, why was it necessary to print the fish, first?
In this technique, we use the print then cut sensor to precisely position the embossing over the stencil. At the time it was the only way to do that but this technique has been updated (see newer videos on my channel) because we can now keep the mat loaded. You would still use print then cut to make a reusable stencil.
@@cleversomeday Thank you for your (prompt) response. Yes, I subsequently found your newer video. So I can skip the PRINTER portion and just do everything with my Cricut Maker 3? But once you unload the mat, you cannot reuse the stencil because it doesn't have that black border around it from the actual printer, is that correct?
@@jennabobenna3631 sort of. Its 2 entirely different means of holding the alignment between runs. One relies on the sensor, the other relies on the rollers.
wow awesome
AMAZING!!
This awsome, only if I could get mine to work as I can't 😥
