Thank you SO SO much for showing your mistakes as part of the video. So many people make videos that eseentiall says "Do this, this and that and hey presto here is a result" but when you come to do it yourself its not so simple. For me the mistake is as much of a learning experience as the rest of the video

I completely agree. It was a mistake that might have been obvious to those who have engraved before. I was clueless. LOL. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for showing the mistakes you made and how your troubleshoot them! So much is a trial and error with new products!

Honestly we learn more from our mistakes.

I’m so glad to have run across this gem! I really enjoyed the “learn with me, we’ll make mistakes together “ tutorial ❤ Such a breath of fresh air and your willingness to be vulnerable helped me feel comfortable and confident enough to try this myself, unlike the “done this a thousand times so it’s a breeze for me but good luck to you” tutorials that leave me feeling okay about trying it then stumbling and going into freak out mode because they made it look effortless. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial ❤

hi Kimberly thanks so much for your video really enjoyed it, I found the information in the video to be very helpful as I have just finally got myself a Cricut Maker3 and I got myself the quick swap tool with the Engraving tip and my Knife Blade, so your video really helped me, Once I have got my Machine out of the box. Have you tried the engraving Tip on Basswood was wondering if the engraving tip works on wood, will try this for myself, just got to buy some Basswood, I think I have some Metal Blanks in my crafty stash.

You’re gonna love your Cricut! I’ve used the engraving tip on Dollar Tree spatulas. I also used it on metal guitar picks. I haven’t done basswood. I’m sure it will work well. Just make sure you use a mm that will work with the machine. If it’s too thick, it can’t go under the rollers. 😊

very interesting thanks im just learning this all and just got my maker 3

I think that what you did was allow the machine to run when it sized the mat and then taped the utensils to the mat. If so, thanks! I will try this one for sure.!!!

So cool, i use to have a cricut like almost 10yrs ago…. This newer version are amazing. Just wondering if needing to let the machine scan the mat 1st, then having to take it off to put the spatula, wouldn’t the machine want to scan the mat again🤔

No you can’t remove the mat because when you put it back in, it has to rescan the mat again.

Yes. I would try using the aluminum setting with “more” pressure. I would definitely practice first. Also, don’t be afraid to go over it twice. When the “cut” is finished and it wants you to remove your cutting mat, DON’T remove it. Hit the PLAY “GO” button again and it will go back over it again. Thank you for watching. Let me know how it turns out.

So the question is, what file do you save the logo as?, for the Cricket to do the job, and you could of just bend the item, and bend it back after its done...

@kimberlyanndesigns1

7 ай бұрын

If you created the project you can save it as anything you would like. It would be an engraving. You would change a cut file (where you change colors of your project pieces) from basic cut to engrave. I would never try to bend my item. It would probably not bend and it would not be the same when bent back. Also, you might be selling these items and they could lose there strength from being bent. Thanks for watching

You might have to check on the Cricut website. I know Dollar tree spatulas were perfect. The “harder” the metal, the harder it is to engrave

So I am trying to engrave on dog tags. I am having a problem finding a font that will. Actually, the cricket will actually like write the letter out instead of just like you know making an outline of the letter. Does anybody know what font that might be?

Find one of the fonts that can be changed to writing. On design space look at where the font name is…next to it says style. Click it and see if your font can be changed to writing.
