Can I use this to emboss/engrave with Explore? Or is this just for scoring?

Yes you can write or emboss a design. Every image on the cricut design studio gives you an option to write (marker or pen) score (with this tool) or cut (with the blade). So in theory you can score any image in the design software on your project. Hope this helps :)

I don't believe Stampin' Up has a "version" of this particular embossing machine. What they do have is the BigShot, which does so much more than the texture boutique. The Boutique is limited to embossing, where the BigShot not only can be used for embossing but also for die cutting. I hope this helps!

I do not believe it works w/Explore. But here's one that I know does: http://www.amazon.com/Cricut-Explore-Deep-Blade-Housing/dp/B00I00RASM

Pretty good. I recommend you test it on a scrap piece first because it can be a little tricky threading thinner things. Ribbon and binding will sometimes twist if you're not careful but overall, it works well for embellishments.

you would have to ask an engraver that question. I just bought these for home use.

I don't know how deep you will be able to engrave the names but we have used this for other projects other than glass and it works good. You should be able to engrave names on copper with this tool. I hope that helps you

I've used mine for that and it works okay, but I think that (despite the cost of special paper) the LiveScribe series does notes better. The inkling is better for sketching/drawing as the potential for a vector output is there.

I don't own the vagabond but did a search on that question. You do have to do different layering in the machine, but you can do it. I would suggest you research how to do it, to make sure you have the correct supplies to make it work. I had to experiment with my Cuttlebug to make it work. They are thicker embossing folders than all of my other ones.

I think you might be able to get the case embossed if you took it to a place that did such work---but there's not really any place engrave able on the elects on the kit.

Hi. I had to go try and see if I could use an embossing folder with the magnetic platform, I hadn't tried it before. No. I wasn't able to use it. The magnetic platform is just enough thicker (as the basic multi platform is without any of the sheets down). When I added ONE clear cutting plate it makes it thicker than the normal platform, but not thick enough to just use with one ...and adding the embossing folder & second cutting plate makes it too thick to run through. I hope this answers your question. (It will work with the cutting embossing dies though, pretty sure.) :)

This software is really old.....it is before they had the Cricut Craft Room...they no longer update the Design Studio with newer designs. I do not know if it would work on Cricut Explore, however, the cricut site for the Explore does support cutting, designing etc. is a lot newer and can do more stuff than the Design Studio did. Now, there is also some software out there you may want to check into--Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge. They have developed some new software that is compatible with the Cricut Explore. I do not know anymore about it other than that---check out their website and you can email them with questions as to what all it can do for you! Hope this answers your questions and adds some additional info for you!

You will get a very classic embossed look on white paper. Thick cardstock is a littler harder. You will have to press very tightly - I had to have a strong male do it for me. I also used one for metallic seals - and got a great print - but also hard to press. Works best on a regular 20# paper. Love the embossing - and have bought several.

Mine did not work well at all. Could not get it to emboss evenly even with my husband pressing it. What did emboss we could barely read. Threw it away and wasted money!!

Not unless you can find some real nice stencils. I couldn't engrave anything legible with the stencils included with this tool. I would suggest having them sign with a marker or something anyway and have it engraved afterwards over top of the marker... by someone who knows what they are doing. Engraving is more difficult than I thought it would be.

I have used several brands of embossing folders in the Boutique and not had any problems. Follow the instructions for inserting the folder into the Boutique. You will be happy with the convenience of having the Boutique as well as a Big Short or similar device.

We actually use it with an embosser that we had made to make jelly jar labels. You can also use it for return addresses. You can get one on Amazon or Williams Sonoma. Return Address Name Embosser/Seal

There is scroll work on the blade and some space to engrave depends how big and how much engraving! It was a gift so I dont have it in front of me to look precisely!
