Yay im so happy that I can do this with my explore air! Thank you so much, Melody!
Thanks for watching!
Best new idea that I have seen! Love your videos!
You show so much enthusiasm when you're crafting, it's infectious! Thank you for your hard work, also!
I love that wood grain cut. Don't have that cart. But Love that you embossed it!! It came out cool!!! I love to emboss!! Need to get those pens!! When I emboss i move my heat gun in circles that works better and it doesn't over heat the embossing powders!! Can't wait to see the card!! I'm also one of your BIGGEST fans!!! lol. I think that I need an intervention cause i watch to much TH-cam!!! lol. Thanks for showing us the embossing pens!! Love ya bye!! I love when you say that!!
Awesome! I have those pens and didn't know they fit in the Explore. Can't wait to try them out!
Watching your videos has pushed me to buy the cricut explore. I have 4 other circuits that I haven't done to much with, you really explain things so well, hopefully I will be able to do this. Thanks
That is awesome Melody! I will have to give this a try! Cannot wait to see your finished card! Thanks for sharing with us!
Amazing - I love that wood grain embossed like that - good thinking!
Have a super day
bunches of love

I am trying this technique this weekend! Can't believe I didn't find this sooner
Neat, I have not done any embossing yet but I am inspired to try it now
Wow I like that idea I'm fixing to go get me those pens that looks so amazing and thank you so much for the shout out thanks for giving us these ideas Melody you rock girl. Smoochez Gloria
Impressive, got to get these pens, never tried embossing before.
TFS Melody.

Awesome video! I will definitely have to try this with my Explore Air. Love your nails btw.
Awesome Melody! I've played with my pens but have yet to actually do a project with them. Can't wait to try now.
You work hard for us, teach so well, and help us a lot! BTW, Sometimes I use the heater from the back instead of the front to emboss.
how cool!! I have to go get me some of those pens!!!
Love it can't wait to try it
This is so cool, cant wait to get my Explore Air!!!
Very clever melody! Love this technique. Hope you are having a super week. Hugs, susan
I guess I was confused, I didnt realize you meant to emboss with embosssing powder, lol. I thought you were going to show how to press the cut outs with the cricut so they have raised areas. I just got a cricut and wondered if this was possible when I searched and came up with this video.
Thanks again for another great idea!
great idea !
OH MY GOSH! that is sooooo cool! I have an embossing heat gun that came in a set at Michael's I only used it one time and wasn't real impressed with my project so it's sorta not being used now..... I may have to try it again! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this technique - great information and tips. Julie
really beautiful
What a great idea, how did you ever think of it?
You are awesome, this is a great feature to know! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I would be lost without you, even though I own several machines, I am very much a newbie! :~)
Love your videos! Have you tried using the fine tip sharpies?
You can do actual raised paper embossing - just using the Cricut Explore stylus tool normally. Lay a craft foam sheet on the mat. Lay cardstock on top of the craft foam, taping the corners of the cardstock to the mat to hold it in place. For a heavier embossed look lightly dab the cardstock with a VERY LIGHTLY dampened cloth after taping it to the craft foam. Change image of choice to score. Set the dial to CUSTOM choose Corkboard, Adhesive backed 1.6mm or for softer cardstock use Craft Foam/change material setting to 2x. There..you are all set to go!! (for now the image can be 2.45" wide due to the white plastic gripper rings - height is not affected - enough space for many creative raised paper embossing tags, border, embellishments) Have FUN!!
game changer! thank you!
As long as I have the adapter ...will the embossing pens work with EXPLORE ONE? Thank you...love your tutorials
Hello there! great video. What supplies do I need as in the pen? I have the heat and the powder and the cricut but I am trying to buy the pens I need
Wow!
Where can I buy the cartridge you use when you make the card with the owl and the wood
do these fit Explore one as well ?? gosh I hope so
Oh ok. Thanks so much!
Very informative video. It would have been even better if we could see the changes happen when you used the heat gun. (You we’re working out of our viewing area.)
Thank you for sharing.
You might have covered this, but the huge mat in design space is kind of confusing. Is there any way to size your mat in design space so you can figure out exactly how many mats you need for a project? Thanks in advance.
Great video.
I just can't get my Cricut Explore Air Gold to score harder. I can barley see the line. It is hardly even touching the metal. Any Ideas?
Thank You Very Much
is this the regular explore or explore air? or do you know if they are the same size for pens?
Thanks Melody, first for the awesome quick reply. I will give that a whirl first them call them. I have noticed in my research that this appears very common. Seems like about 50% of the machines have this issue.
Thanks again.
Hi, I'm trying to do something very similar. I want to add wood grain to a door. How do you attach wood pattern to door and then use the pen to emboss the wood grain pattern. I tried to use slice but that just created 3 seperate layers. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you! PS I love your videos. So helpful!
Newbie here... Can you use leather instead?
I am a big fan I know I don't pay for it on patreon cause I can't afford it right now. But can you use a hair dryer if you don't have the heat thing that you used.
Hello Melody,
Can you engrave wood with the Cricut cutter explorer air 2?
I just got mine and I'm watching all your videos on how I can use my cricut cutter and get the most out of it :)
Wow, Thanks for the info...:)
Would hairdryer work as well?
What embossing own did you use ?
HI Melody! I can't seem to find that Artbooking cartridge In my subscription for Cricut Air. Do you know where I could find the file. Thanks~!
What program are you using? My Design Space looks nothing like this.
Hi Melody , I was looking through your comments and did not see the link to where I can get the embossing Pens. I don't think there is a Hobby Lobby around here. Michael's and Joann Fabrics are close. Please and Thank You
This was amazing...I can't wait to see the card. :o)
Thank you, great vid! Do you have to use embossing powder, or is that only if you want color? For example, if I wanted it to be raised, but the same color as the card, do I just skip the powder? Do I still use the heat gun if I do that? Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'll get some clear powder then. This is the first video to help me understand embossing!
Fun! I am worried about using non-cricut markers with my machine though. :(
*****
Thanks! :)
Thanks again for news, I can use!
Melody, can't find the wood grain in this Artbooking cartridge are you sure it's not under another name? Need help.
Can someone please tell me if I this only works with a mac or iPad? What if I don't have one of those? I will not be able to use my cricut?
Will a hair dryer work?
No. It doesn’t get hot enough
rose c I got a heat thingy for Christmas so I’m good.
can you just use a blow dryer
+Taylor Godoy ~Hairdryers blow out air too hard and can blow off your powder. I also believe they are not as hot and would take a longer time to melt the powder. You can buy an embossing gun from any of the major craft stores and using a coupon would make it very affordable. It's a definite must have in your stamping arsenal. Hope this helps :D
+Taylor Godoy They just had a Martha Stewart one at Michaels on clearance for $12 last night! I would have bought it if I didnt already have one. That is an awesome deal!
Pros heat in boss from the under side of the paper! ha!
You're too damn cute. Thank you for these videos!
