How to Emboss and Deboss with Your Cricut Maker

You can easily emboss and deboss on your Cricut Maker with the debossing tool, and the process is very similar! With just a few small steps you can emboss in a jiffy!
What you use for your stencil also affects your end result, and its important to know that if you want a sharper emboss or deboss, you may need to change that product!
I do show you in this video what the effects are from using both cardstock which is around 130gsm, and a much thicker card that is around 300gsm, so make sure to check out the entire video!

Watched this last night and was hooked I had to try it. Went to a Cricut social day today and did this technique. Unfortunately my 165gsm was not good quality and it ended up with holes. I then used my American Crafts cardstock. This worked OK but as you said the thicker the cardstock the less sharp, so I debossed it a second time and was thrilled with the result. Thank you so much.

[@nachtschimmen]

I haven't worked out how you use my embossing tool yet... I set my designs to deboss but no result is produced on the paper. I will watch your film again to make sure I'm doing it right. ...But you'd be interested to note that I've worked out lots of ways to make embossing folders myself - I've also uploaded the designs to DesignSpace that you can make in any plastic or vinyl which consists of two or more layers which allows you to peel one of the layers off after cutting. I love using Floor Lino the best and I'm getting great embossings with it on thick cardboard and one of my embossing devices or printing presses. Thanks for this film. I really want to work out how to use the embossing tool but on my third try I'm still got getting a result in cardstock!

[@KellyRossouw]

Good luck! Yes, I use this technique myself, and actually recently released a video on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYi7poinns-Cnbc

[@FR3DER1Cx]

Hey, great video! I’m very new to arts and crafts in general but love the results you’ve shown off. Why do you cut out the design first and place a new sheet on top, is that necessary for the em-/debossing process?

[@KellyRossouw]

Thank you! The cut out design makes the "stencil" layer which creates the dimension in the method I use in my video :)

[@ldylvtt1716]

Hi I loved the video. I’m new to Cricut and fairly new to You Tube. How do I turn off the ad that takes up 1/3 of the video screen? I can’t see the right side of your video. Thanks

[@KellyRossouw]

Thank you so much! I unfortunately cannot control the ads that are on the video, however there should be a small x mark in the top right hand corner which should close the overlay of the ad if/when it pops up

This tutorial was so so helpful, thank you very much. Can you give me the names of the card stock, etc that you used. I did not see listed. Thanks

[@aniavazzo]

Thank you for your video. I am fairly new to cricut but have learned a lot in the last few weeks and have been able to cut out some very detailed cards and successfully scored fold lines. I will have text on the cards and would like to deboss it. When I tried this for some reason the debosser tool is only debossing the outline of my text. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps you can help? Also using your offset method to deboss how do you make sure the second piece of paper adheres to the first? Thank you.

[@KellyRossouw]

You are most welcome! The tool is intended to only do the outline, which is why we use the stencil to deboss out the entire section! :) The paper doesnt adhere to the "stencil", it removes from the mat leaving the negative behind :)

[@ElenaDay-t6i]

Thank you so much for this. ☺️ Do you think there would be any way to use this to emboss leather?

[@KellyRossouw]

Most people engrave the leather instead of embossing it. I dont think the embossing tool would leave enough of an impression - depending on the leather of course!

[@JanisGodwinSpear]

I really didn't understand how to do either of these techniques, but now I understand. It seems a bit fiddly, but so worth it. Just a question, do you move down and to the left for both the embossing and debossing? Thanks for sharing.

[@KellyRossouw]

You are so welcome! As long as you attach both the cut and deboss layer to an 11.5" square, you wont need to move the design. I cover it differently in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWqZlXqQeZZsfJo

[@JanisGodwinSpear]

Thank you - I will check it out ❤

[@bijouxw1014]

I just noticed on my settings, it is in inches, so I will have to do conversion, also the newer version of Cricut design space has a "weld offset" feature, click yes or no, will leave off I think. Thank you so much for your tutorial. I need to get information on the materials you used. I think I found the poster board, but where can I get small amounts of metal paper??? in US??

[@KellyRossouw]

You can change to the metric system in your settings (if you use the metric system!) You can get the metallic paper on Amazon: amzn.to/41lcWEk

[@crazymered1]

I just tried it for the first time and yay! I had a few mistakes but I am ready to try again. I do have a question though. I only have medium weight cardstock currently and I am using it for the embossing. What were you using for the actual cut part and what were you using for the embossing part? What weight of paper do you recommend for each? Like at least a certain weight for each? Thanks so much for the really easy tutorial!

[@KellyRossouw]

I use 300 gsm Kraft board for the stencil, and I emboss on the 216gsm medium cardstock, or lower

[@crazymered1]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate. 😊. Excited to make a card for a wedding using this method ❤

Please help if you can.

[@KellyRossouw]

Thank you so much! I have never tried parchment paper, but I would imagine it wouldnt work as it is too flexible and wouldnt hold the deboss. You would need a thicker card, I would suggest something 150gsm and higher

[@lovingtraditionscake]

Hi Kelly: it has to be something that I can gently pull off of a cookie once it is dried.

[@dianeday7995]

Great video explaining in detail debossing and embossing. Thanks!

[@KellyRossouw]

You're very welcome!

[@LindaSeibel]

I love your videos but I’m having trouble putting the emboss method into practice. When I use the offset as you instructed it creates a “bubble” kind of image around the original which doesn’t look at all like yours. Any suggestions? I just got a maker after using an explore air 2 specifically for the emboss capability .

[@KellyRossouw]

You need to adjust the width of the offset when using this method. In this video at 2:26 you can see where I adjust the offset distance :)

[@KateReilly-go6hn]

when you took the bottom of the tool did you leave it off or put it back on, sorry I'm a little confused.

Making 100 of anything would take a significant amount of time yes! But if you use a 12x24 mat you should be able to make them in bulk and make several at a time :)

*may not seem a relevant question but is is possible to use watercolor paper in one of these machines? ...more interested in adding tactile highlights to the abstract paintings that i do and using some older archival historical illustrations as the basis for my experimentation's*

[@KellyRossouw]

You wouldnt get as nice an emboss on watercolour paper because of the thickness and pressure needed. I havent tested it yet but I would imagine it would technically be possible, Ill test it and get back to you :)

You can use absolutely any design you want, just follow my method outlined in this video and you cant go wrong! You can upload your own designs, write using your own fonts, whatever your heart desires!!

[@nicoleshine]

Thanks for your fast reply! I'm going to get one. I make wedding invitations, can you recommend any specific cricut? Is there any that does all functions?

[@KellyRossouw]

If you can get the Maker - absolutely go for that one. But if you want to be able to cut larger than 24" the Maker 3 is your better option, but most choose the Maker over the Maker 3!

[@nicoleshine]

Thank you !

[@beewitched3189]

Hi, I’m new to Cricut and loved your video. Is that the Cricut Kraft board you used? And will the fine point blade that came with the maker3 cut it or do I need to buy another blade? Thank you!

[@KellyRossouw]

Welcome to the family! Yes, the board underneath is the Cricut Kraft board - fine point cuts it perfectly, no need for another blade! :)

[@clairecolchester7345]

Would foam work for the stencil piece to leave on the mat?

[@KellyRossouw]

It will work, but your results wont be as crisp as it is very soft, so it wont give you as nice a crisp edge as using the Kraft board will.

[@LJ-qc4om]

If I buy a cricut air machine that deboss case is included already?

[@KellyRossouw]

This method is only possible with the Cricut Maker + Maker 3 unfortunately, and the Quick Swap housing with debossing tip is an extra purchase unfortunately. But if you have an Explore machine (or want to get one) check out this video instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GyoWNjeJ2thZY

i was wondering why cant you just deboss but mirror the image so you can see the deboss in revers an it will be embossed in reverse
