Does any one know of a way to use the Cricut to emboss? I would like to emboss a 12 x 12 cardstock page.
Need a special (soft) mat, and some kind of stylus...Page 1 of 2

kosy,
You can use the Pazzles mat (it has to be trimmed down) and a Pazzles embossing tip (or an old blade turned upside down) to emboss. The problem is that the Cricut really doesn't have sufficient pressure for a nice emboss. Works OK on vellum, but that's about it. I did see a post in the last couple of days where the person used a piece of packaging foam on the mat and embossed with a gel pen. Here's the link

Why yes I do......
I use closetomyheart foam that comes in every pack of stamps put that on your mat, put removable adhesive on that place your paper on, now.....turn your blade upside down in the housing. Set pressure and blade depth to high as they go and cut!!! Remeber to flip your image and if its words spell it backwords

Here is a double sided embosser from the makers of the Gel Pen Holder for the Cricut. http://www.cri-kits.com/embosser. Fit in the magnetic holder and has a small tip and a large. Just what your looking for. Going to be on pre-sale soon.

It does show up on the thinner, smooth cardstock. I'm going to be posting pictures on my blog tomorrow of some samples I've done on cardstock. www.amychomas.comkosy2 wrote:Are you able to emboss on cardstock?

What about for scoring cardstock? Sounds like this might be perfect with SCAL to score and cut boxes, etc. using layers.

Amy,
Just pre ordered your embossing kit. Can't wait to get it and start playing around. My hope it to emboss like Cuttlebug folders only on 12 x 12 paper.
Thanks for all your hard work
