Cricut is always developing new tools, and with these new tools comes so much versatility! I’ve been making paper flowers for a decade now and there are so many tricks to creating life-like blooms.
I spent a good amount of time developing my own special tool, Paper Blooms shaping mat and toolset for embossing and cupping flower petals. Now that Cricut has a debossing tool I thought I would try it out using my machine!
In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to add texture to your paper leaves or flower petals using your Cricut Maker.
You will need to set up your line-type in Cricut Design Space so it properly debosses then cuts. The key to make sure you use your Attach tool so it debossing exactly where you want. Below is a video step-by-step on how to do all of this.
