Yet again - another brilliant tutorial! To the point and easy to follow/understand. Very much appreciated - thank you.
I love your teachings on Silhouette Studio, I downloaded it and tried to self teach I ended up giving up. I would love to see more. You are very talented, thank you for great content.
Enjoyed your tutorial, especially using the silhouette software. I definitely would enjoy more of these educational videos.❤️
The crosshatch pattern worked great. I did tighten the hatch I couldn’t see any lines skipped. I used an anodized aluminum disc. I was going to use the lines but after seeing your video you saved me time and materials. Thank you! Your coaster should say I don’t Cricut without silhouette design. 😉
Love how you showed how to use the silhouette software. I have both machines, so for me, this was fantastic! Great video!
This is so informative! I have been very intimidated by the engraving tool and this gave me the confidence to try. But by far the best part for me was your amazing instruction on silhouette studio and saving files for exporting to design space! I didn’t know I could do that and you just changed my crafting game!! Thank you Karley!
I have a Cricut Maker and just purchased a Silhouette Cameo 4 and love to see you doing Silhouette Studio as well as Cricut Design Space! Because I’m new with Silhouette I really enjoy your video today!!
Is there a particular reason why you purchased the Cameo when you already have the Maker? Im really curious. Thanks
Thank you for this tutorial! I was going crazy trying the replicate the hatches in Illustrator, but this convinced me I just needed to take the plunge on Silhouette Studio. In fact, I have an engraving project going right now. I'm excited to see how it turns out!
Perfectly taught. Precise and quick. My new go-to for help! Thank you so much.
this is AMAZING please make so many more silhouette tutorials. i just bought the business version just because of this video and i dont even have a cameo!!!
I’ve been using silhouette for near on 7 years now, and had no idea I could do some of those things 😂, I’m terrible for not using that software lol thanks for the video, I’m jumping ship and getting a maker soon! Can’t wait!!!!
Thanks sooo much. I use Silhouette software all the time to create art for my Cricut. I think Silhouette's software excels in the same way Cricut Maker's use of materials excel. Thanks for not making me feel like a "crafting polygamist" for using both to reach my project goals. I'm checking out the laser cutter you mentioned, too, and bookmarking your video for when I have time to engrave.
I've had a Silhouette for quite a while. I bought a Cricut first, but it began mis-feeding the mat one week after the warranty ran out. That was added frustration because the machine sat unused for the first few months until I had time to sit down and learn how to use it. Cricut wouldn't extend the warranty a week, so between barely getting to use it, and no support, I went with Silhouette for my replacement. I loved Silhouette because I didn't have to buy cartridges. It's software is awesome, particularly the upgraded versions and it does things I could only do in Adobe Illustrator otherwise. However, lately, I've begun to miss not being able to use all the different materials Cricut Maker allows for, so I'm giving Cricut another chance. I bought the Maker. I've already cut fabric and I'm very happy with the results. I just hope the Maker lasts as long as my now aging Silhouette. I look forward to checking out your other videos.
Hahah "crafting polygamist!" I love that! I am happy we both enjoy the best of both worlds!!! Thanks for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it!
If you want to get rid of the lines, use a fiberglass brush. You can put fiberglass bristles in a mechanical pencil to use it on small projects. This works on plastics. You can also use a fine file like the ones used in jewelry making or electronics. These will work for metal or wood.
This is a great tutorial! I just bought a Cricut maker and it is great to know there is another design space!
Very informative. I’ve never watched a Silhouette tutorial since I have a Cricut. So ironic that you had to use Silhouette Studio to show your love for Cricut 😂 I really wish Cricut would step up their game 🙄
Haha! I actually worked at Silhouette America before I worked at Cricut! So I love taking advantage of what each company does best!
Thank you. I would love to learn more about Silhouette Studio
I loved the Glowforge! Of course, mine was sitting there and did nothing! So I sold it. I paid $2500 in Sept 2015 and I never received it until Dec 2017. Yes, I was one of the crazy first adopter. When I sold it, I got $2200.
This was a great, easy video to follow, even for first-time Silhouette Studio user! Thank you!
This was so helpful!!! I was looking everywhere how to do a foil quil fill in letters and it would be the same technique than this engraving but this silhouette software makes it easier..would you do more tutorials on the software with tips for using it in different projects? Thsnk you!
Love the video & you showed the imperfections
Thank you for doing this. I tried to use the tool in my maker and it was a disaster. I also did not know I could use Silhoutte with Cricut. I have both. Now if I can find your blog.
Fantastic! I'm a Silhouette Studio/Cameo 4 user and just purchased a Cricut Maker.
I had no idea cricut could do this. Wow this is so cool. I love it. Cant wait till I know what I'm doing lol TFS
Awesome video with specific instruction for using the software....best video for the Circuit Maker I've seen in a while. Keep making videos combining both various materials and the software process. As a beginner Cricut Maker crafter, I went from not knowing how to do engraving and 25:05 minutes I went from dumb to pro. Thanks.
Thanks Karley, really creative idea to engrave with a pattern fill. This was my first look at the Silhouette software. I would like to see more tutorials showing how to use Silhouette Studio.
Thank you. Very thorough, quality conscious -- and appreciated.
Thank you soooo much for this video!!! I’ve been a Cricut Fan for Years!!! There are some functions in Silhouette that I have seen lately that I love! I didn’t not know that you could save the text as an SVG and import the image into Design Space 🤯. I guess I’ll purchase the business edition. I hope that Cricut comes out with an update with some of the features you showed us!
I’m a beginner so enjoy beginner help. I’m glad you mentioned silhouette because it helps you save your creations from my understanding. Thank you.
Yes! If you have business edition, you can save your creations as an SVG! It’s really helpful if you create design and need to send them to other people!
Thank you for the tutorial. I would be very interested in learning more about how to use silhouette studio. I have been using Inkscape and it isn’t always the easiest to use. Thanks so much.
Great tutorial! If you enlarge the design to 283.5% before saving it in svg, it will have the perfect size in the design space.
Interesting! I’ve never heard that! I’ll give it a try! Thanks :)
Thank you for this tutorial! All the way in Ireland and you have helped so much. I really hope Cricut become more readily available here :-)
Have you heard back from Cricut about the lines? would love to know their response!
She even said the material she’s using is .70mm larger than what Cricut recommend so I’d say the bit is dragging between letters because it’s to thick...
@@rothburger but if there is a line in the letter that’s filled in doesn’t that mean that it is missing that spot and not touching it?
You are a genius! Please make more videos and have a workshop for the really needy people. Hahahahaha.. What computer do you have, because mine isn't compatible. Thank you again for helping us!
I use a Macbook Pro, but most macs and PCs are compatible. I just would not recommend a device like an ipad or chromebook since this is a pretty intense program!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a new Cricut Maker owner. I haven't used it yet. I'm excited to get started.
Oh my once you start usimg your cricut you will not want to stop..i have been on mine just about everyday since 1st week in march lol i love mine so much..i have learned so much and learned how to make so many things.. since march we've had 8 birthdays so i have made all my gifts and also made my.mothers day gifts as well and all was in amazement and all loved everything tht ive made..good luck happy crafting..
YOUR GONNA LOVE YOUR CRICUT!!
Just purchased my maker so I’m watching all of these videos to prepare myself 😂. I knew that it wanted to try the engrave feature. But I didn’t know that I’d need to use silhouette.
You don’t need to use silhouette! It works just fine without it :) you only need SS if you want to fill the letters.
This is a great tutorial. I would love more help with Silhouette Studio.
Loved this tutorial! New subscriber! I’m contemplating purchasing Silhouette Studios to do designs I can’t seem to do in Design Space but really intimidated. I would to see more videos.
Michelle Mitchell it’s the best time to buy it! It’s 50% tonight if you use code “sugarbee” when you check out! www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/software-and-download-cards/silhouette-studio
I have another video showing how to offset! But don’t worry there will be a lot more in the future! 🥰
@@KarleyHall crap! I think I missed it. It says $100 now. Is that right? I thought it was $79 regular price
Michelle Mitchell did you try to use the coupon code? I’m not sure if the mother day sale expired. But yes regular price is $100 on Silhouette but $79 on 651Vinyl! www.651vinyl.com/silhouette-studio-business-edition-green-envelope.html?partner=310676
Thanks for this helpful video! I'd love more Silhouette tutorials please!
Just got my engraving tip last night! This tutorial was great!!! Thank you! Can't wait to try mine out!
Great tutorial. Very informative and easy to follow and understand. Haven’t gotten my maker yet but wanting to learn as much as I can before I start using it when I do get it. Subscribed and thanks again 😊
this video earned you a subscriber. You did a great job in explaining, and also were so honest in pointing out the defects.
Those lines would drive me nuts; I am too much of a perfectionist like OCD overload. lol
anyway, I hope cricut will fix the issue, because for my personal preference those lines ruin the project.
Thank you again,
Very nice, EASY to understand video. Pleasant cadence to your voice kept me interested.
This was a fabulous video. If the lines are occurring in different areas, it makes me wonder if you load it through a second time, whether it would fix the mixed lines. Looking forward to trying this - awesome !!
thanks for this geat tutorial , would this work on an image like a handprint or footprint?
Thanks
Great job. Really like how they turned out. Nice job.
I am glad you shared this with us and Cricut. It is now May 31, did Cricut get back to you?? I am not buying their machine until it's working precisely.
I followed up, but I assumed there has been limited time to test since the cricut headquarters are still observing social distancing guidelines and most employees can’t go to the office. :/ I should clarify that the engraving tool works great! In this video, I’m teaching a “hack.” I assume cricut will eventually come out with their own vector fill technology that will work. I like hacking things, but this is not recommended by cricut.
I have some acrylic blanks that are just a tad less thick than yours (2.4mm/.24cm) and I haven't tried running it through the machine, but if I just lay it on the mat and put it up to the rollers, it doesn't look like it will go under. Should I just try it? I don't want to ruin my Maker.
heres a tip. a friend told me to place the object in the middle to be engraved and cover the rest of the mat with cardboard to cover the mat less cleanup
Enjoyed the Silhouette tutorial. Would like to see more.
I wish you would do a video on engraving blanks and tags either the Cricut explorer. Your video was great.
Me too.
Very helpful because this is brand new to me
Such a great video, thanks. I have a Silhouette and a Cricut Maker. I always love how easy it is to offset text in Silhouette. I can't understand why Cricut doesn't have an offset. I've battled with my DS and pc for over a year, because my Windows 10 pc (4gb RAM), it's just not fast enough. I have an iMac on order. Looking at the speed of yours - it should be so much better. May I ask how many gb RAM your laptop has please? Thanks in advance x
I would love to learn more about Silhouette..I have Silhouette Business Edition and a Cricut Maker..I am very interested in learning and incorporating the two
This is giving me more reasons to upgrade my Explorer to a Maker.
The heart ypu put in was solid and you did something to make it a outline! What did you hit?
Why do you use Silhouette Studio instead of DS? I find DS not intuitive and cumbersome to use but have not considered using SS. Thanks.
Thank you for the tutorial.I’m going to try this. Just wondering if you ran the engraving twice( like back to back ) ..maybe the lines would get filled in?
Thank you, you are a great teacher!
Great tutorial..do you know if these would work as a fondant embosser as well ?
I got the same thickness of blank and I’m having issues with the residue scratching the blank. I’ve tried blowing it away with a sprayer like you and brushing the metal roller while it works. Do you have the same problem? I can’t find any other blanks that are thinner
Could I do this to my sunglasses for logo?
Where did you get your storage units to the right of you?
It’s nice to see cricut does engraving, but the lines would bug me so much. My uncle had an engraving shop in the 90s and I helped him in the shop. So we had the big ole laser engraving equipment for engraving on wood, acrylic etc. We had a sandblasting machine to do all the etching on glass etc. When my uncle
decided to close up shop permanently, he offered everything for $10k, I wish we wouldn’t taken the offer, but at time, we were not in that position. I miss my uncle dearly.
Thanks for sharing.. Will it engrave stones or glass?
Very informative video def going to reference this A LOT!
Can you do a video on creating custom rhinestone templates using the Silhouette Business Software to be used with Cricut?
Great suggestion! I will add it to my video list!
What machine would you recommend me to buy..... Though thanks so much
May I know how to fix the little line? Thank you.
I got cricut maker 3 . Can you use a ipad doing engraving
You could always use a Dremel to fix the lines.
That’s a great idea!
Yes please to the tutorials, thank you
Such an informative tutorial, thank you.
I cannot get my engraving central :-( It's correct on the computer and the metal disc is perfectly central on my mat, but the design still comes out off centre...any advice?
Hy, I can do the same whit the Cameo 4 ? Thank you !
You have other tutorials for silhouette?
The thickness is probably the reason for the lines.
It’s not. It’s the tightness of the spacing. The tool isn’t accurate enough to follow them. It’s the same for thinner pieces.
I bought the business addition in silhouette and is still not allowing me access to the stipple panel?
More Silhouette Studio tutorials!
Background: I have zero idea about engraving/vinyl. I started to research cnc machines (diode lasers) at the same time wanting a machine for vinyl heat transfers to t-shirts for our business. You can imagine how my head is spinning. I think cricut 1 is going to be purchased. But the software is overwhelming by your video. So question: Why do you use another software to make the engrave saying, and not just use cricut software? Anything and everything you could help/ point me to (maybe cricut for beginners 101) would be great. Looking at engraving and also making heat vinyl transfers for heat press t-shirts
The Cricut software is limited. So I am unable to do what I need in it, but can use other design programs to do what I need. I would recommend a cricut for vinyl and heat transfer vinyl- but would not recommend it for engraving. I’d recommend the glowforge for engraving. glowforge.us/r/ZGVHHUNH
THANK YOU
Too cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How depth can I engrave please ?
it doesnt give me the option to save as SVG. I get Silhouette V3, V2 and GSP :(
You need to upgrade to business edition! You can find a link to purchase in the video description!
Maybe the thickness of the acrylic makes the gaps in ur lettering 😁.
Do I have to engrave a keychain at a time? Since it goes on the middle of the mat.
Leonor Narvaez you can do several at a time! You can line that up where ever you want! It does take quite a while though!
New sub. Thanks so much
i'm jealous of you and your non-blurry silhouette design studio :( stupid thing is blurry beyond comprehension on my macbook!
Are you using the latest version? It may be time for an update!
@@KarleyHall unfortunately it's a known issue with silhouette, and there is no amount of updating that's going to fix it until they actually fix the issue within the app. those of us with hiDPI (retina) displays get to experience a pixellated Design Studio (fun!). According to their CS, they've been "working on it" since the first retina macbooks dropped in 2013, so I'm not holding my breath. Weird how every other software on the planet managed to figure out retina displays but not Silhouette!
Does this work for the very small keychains?
The link for the engraving tip isn’t working. Got a new one?
You have the lines become the tool can't lift high enough to clear the material. 2 mm vs 2.8 mm
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It happens on thin materials too.
Hi, thank you so much for this amazing project! I wanted to ask if you have heard back from Cricut? I am doing my research before buying one. thank you :)
I thought cricut can feed up to 2.7mm not just 2mm
How to I find the description?
Great video, you got a new subscriber!
Can i be able to do this on my cricut explore air 2
Yea, there was some lines in there. I would paint over it as you suggest. I won't be able to sell it. I am so upset with Cricut.
Can I use silhouette on my ipad?
What if you ran through twice would that get rid of the lines since they're random it would just engrave the parts that are not engraved? If it was to work it's still a bit of a downer since it's going to take the same amount of time as it did the first time cricut should actually fix this Since they are one of the leading cutting machine companies and probably want to remain within that standing.
Thanks Karley!
