Yes please for the explore series

Same!

[@linderlucy61]

Yes please for the explore tutorial. Love all your videos. 😊

[@catherineperez1809]

oh Corinne this is really "awesome" and I am planning on trying out as soon as I can. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@deannamuzingo3499]

Thank you! Another yes vote for a tutorial for the Explorer.

[@andreastewart4215]

Yes, this looks great but I’d like to see what more I can do with it once designed. Thank you for sharing your experience

[@mjwsfts]

I’ve watched several of these and this is the first one I actually understood! Yes please on projects using this technique.

[@gidaniels8386]

I love this, and it is so informative. I am still a little confused about the dots. I would love to see more, I have a Maker, and I would like to do greeting cards. Thank you so much for this video.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

The dots are just to keep everything lined up. When the cricut cuts vs scores it moves slightly and the dots are registration marks telling the cricut where to hold the design

[@beckiortiz8433]

Yes, please, for the Explore Air 2 tutorial. Thank you.

[@antoinettemitchell2888]

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

WOW!! You are a genius Corinne!! This is fantastic!! I love how this turned out and would love to see how you would use it in different projects. I'm not much of a paper crafter but I might be now!! Thank you so much for all of the amazing ideas you share with us. This one really blew my mind!! I LOVE the image you used too. Anything beachy or nautical is totally my jam!! 🤯🩷💯🫶🏽

[@ellen-marie6692]

Wow, awesome!! Please share more about how the “registration” circles work - I understand why you had to unload the first mat, but now I don’t quite understand how the circles help. A video with more examples would be great! I’d also really like to understand the layers panel more - how Design Space places layers where it does, how to find specific layers & move them, etc. Thanks so much, Corrine!!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Because the offset is slightly larger so the machine will have it moved slightly over than the cut making the debossing tool roll over the cardstock underneath rather than next to it

[@ellen-marie6692]

@@CorinneBlackstone ah! Thanks!

[@ritalopez3566]

I still don't get it

[@jllannoo]

Explorer please. Love your videos!

[@berniem1187]

Thank you for posting this! It explained things to me at a more understanding level! I would love to see a more advanced or intricate design made knowing I’m afraid 😅 of trying out embossing but will give it a try after seeing your tutorial! I would say your video and explanation is really beginner friendly and will share it to other crafters in the future!😊

[@147ILoveVintage]

Yes some projects please. I’ve had my makers for about four years now I never knew they did that. lol 😂

[@famous99]

yes for the explore tutorial! Thank you for offering! I just got a cricut maker 3 at work and a debossing tool, but at home I only have the explore air 2

[@carolynavent6265]

Yes please, I would love to see how you do this for the Explorer. I loved your explanation for this. Nice and easy to understand. I went and bought a manual die cut machine just so that I could do embossing but if there is an easy way to do it on my Explorer, I would love to know. thanks

[@decass4371]

Great video!

[@IamLovedbyHim48]

Just tried this and it turned out very well! So helpful to know it can be done! Does this method only work for embossing something on the large and plain side, or will it also work on much smaller designs? Thank you so much!!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Absolutely works with smaller designs

[@HeleneGagne]

Yes please

[@lindaheidecket3597]

Plus I’d like to know what do you do with it once embossed. Ideas please.

[@lindaheidecket3597]

Yes I have explore air2. Please.

[@candiem60]

I want to do it with my Explore Air 2, please? ❤

[@marlenenicholl6825]

This would be nice to cut the same phrase out of vinyl and layer over top

[@CorinneBlackstone]

The only issue would be pressing the vinyl down might flatten the embossing. But maybe if you did it on the mat before you take off the design

[@kzoogal69]

I would like to know how to do it on explorer series pleaseand thanks

[@dianej6790]

Explore 2 please.

Thank you for this! Do you think it would work with a thick vellum? This is what I am hoping to do.

Did anyone try embossing on a napkin? Would love to know if that’s a possibility

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@craftadoocrafts I think it would be possible. I don’t know how stable it would be or how long it would last since it’s such a soft thin material

Sure can!

@@CorinneBlackstone great! i’m going to try that tomorrow.

Hello, there.....what cut setting will cut cereal box cardboard?​@shaunebartoo

[@shaunebartoo]

there is a setting called cereal box in the material settings. don’t forget to use deep point blade!

[@flossingdebi]

I have the maker however I do not have the embossing tool, is there a work-a-round with maybe using the scoring tool?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

There will be a tutorial coming for the explore which will explain how to work around not having the debossing tool

[@gehanghobrial2449]

Looking forward for this tutorial.

[@StarDMC26]

​@@CorinneBlackstoneso excited for this video!!

[@jeangrandy8672]

I don’t understand the whole concept of having to put the tiny circle on it!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

It’s so they line up correctly as I mention in the video design space will move the embossing over just a little bit so by adding the circle it will keep it lined up

What is the name of your pick tool?
