[jeweliegwen]

Awesome

[arentarent]

I usually don't leave comments but WOW this is sucha great idea ! ! ! Now the possibilities are endless!! (: Thank you for sharing

[Sweetness4713]

Awesome idea.. I would also use spray adhesive for stencils to put more than one layer together..

[johanna006]

That is really clever! Those companies would go out of business with people like you! :)

[usaearthling]

You are so clever. I used mine to emboss on tin metal squares, came out gorgeous. Thank you for sharing that great idea.

[verycraftymama]

love it, I dont have a cricut machine! :)

[BakisCrafts]

thank you for sharing...I LOVE dry embossing and now I have endless possibilities...WOO!!HOO!!

[justtubingby]

Why not use cardboard of thickness such as that of a cereal box ? Then one would not have to tape 3 stencils together.....

[mypinkcricut]

@justtubingby You could- and it would be ideal- But, not everyone has the Deep Cut Blade. This makes it possible for anyone with a Cricut.

[blackitten2]

Love this technique! Thanks so much for sharing! ~J~

[missme2u4eva]

cool



[KarenIsNew]

Very clever!

[sammarei]

Wow! That is genius. I'm so impressed

[TheLitlrascul]

Thank you for your great tutorial; very well done and a great new technique. I love the template you used. You said it was lyrical letters.... Where can I find it? Once again, thanks!

[iheartscraps]

this is the most useful tip i've learned in a looong looong time!

[bluerosehunter]

so kewl!! so you could prob also do this if you had chipboard? and would u be able to use it on metal?

[skallywag69]

wonderful ! where can you get the cuttlebug ?

[TheJennabelle]

Soooo...I have a cuttlebug, therefor no rubber mat. What plates do I use? Just the norm? This is SO exciting for me with getting ready to do my Christmas cards! :)

[mypinkcricut]

@TheJennabelle You can pick up a rubber mat at your crafting store. Spellbinders has one, Sizzix has one...or you could use a thin mouse pad,etc/

@TheJennabelle

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and pick up plumber's gasket. It is a small squared rubber mat that costs about 35 cents and works great as the rubber mat you need. I bought it to use with the textured plates by fiskars for my cuttlebug.

[tuttgal]

Wow that was fantastic, I have some may cartridges that I would love to make embossed material from. GREAT!! Thanks for sharing

[drummer7680]

Where did you get the rubber mat when you embossed

[mypinkcricut]

@njerimwangi1 Thank you-- you are too sweet!

[CardCrazeeHeather]

What about using the deep cut blade, multiple cuts with poasterboard.....

[mypinkcricut]

@CardCrazeeHeather That would work too-- I didn't have a deep cut blade at the time :)

[Angelmommy100]

What material did you use to cut the pattern out? Great idea can't wait to get started

[mypinkcricut]

@Angelmommy100 Just card stock :)

[SunshineCreation]

I would have never known to do that! All the money I spent on embossing folders. Yikes.

[DevinMyLuv1]

AWESOME!!!!! Just waaaaay to cool.......Definitely going to try. Thank you so much for sharing.

[kmcorby]

That is so cool. I would never have thought of that in a million years. Thanks!

[Jackovblack]

Have you tried using the copper or metal material on the cricut to make embossing folders?

[mypinkcricut]

@Jackovblack I have not-- have you?

[MimieRivas234]

Thanks for sharing!!!

[LilBumpysGirl]

seeing that, makes me think i can press coin images into paper...ahh the possibilites are endless!!!

[Chevy143r]

I love this !!!;)

[mreinstein48]

Awsome!!!!!

[dot3518]

What a great idea, I am completely new to the cricut only had mine a week but can't wait to try this. Thanks so much

[kwittrock09]

Do you think this would work with a cuttlebug?

[mypinkcricut]

@kwittrock09 Definitely!

[DigidesignScrap]

fantastic video, thanks

[sobutterfly1]

wow great idea thanks

[TheWhitelily2010]

wow this sooooo coooool thanksfor sharing!

[marmegcal]

can you use this embossing plate again and again or is a 1 off use?

[mypinkcricut]

@marmegcal again and again :)

[mommunson]

very cute image.wow this is awesome I was wondering if you can do this just never did. so thank you for doing it. will try now.:)

[001authentic]

hey, you said you were embossing on paper. What effect will it be if you were using cardstock? Can you do a video to see the difference? thx

[mypinkcricut]

@001authentic I am sorry-- I used cardstock- I didn't use super-heavy cardstock, just regular cardstock from Hobby Lobby. I often just group it all together as paper-- again, I am sorry for the confusion ;)

[narutopenguingirl]

Wow! That worked great! Totally going to try it :)

[ScrapbookingGrandma]

I have been researching the best way to make your own embossing plates. So far I like this method the best. Thanks For The Video!

[Litlrascul]

Excellent !

[opaladi]

Very very cool ;o)

[latoyamajor]

could you do this with words?

[mypinkcricut]

@latoyamajor Absolutely! I think I will do a video on making word embossing plates this week :)

[cathylt63]

Thanks again for sharing another wonderful video and idea. I have the cuttlebug and I love embossing.

[angel619SD]
