One of my favorite things to do with the engraving tip is to engrave on the clear cardstock! I'm addicted to the stuff, it is completely clear like transparency, but a bit thicker like cardstock, but thin enough to fold in half for a card! For the snowflakes I used Winter Woodland with Design Studio, and the engraving tip to etch them into the clear cardstock. I used Just Because Cards for the card cut out, using multi-cut of 2 and max pressure, with a blade depth of 5 to make sure to cut through the clear cardstock.
For the snow hills I used Silhouette's fuzzy vinyl in white, and a craft knife to make the hills.
I then used Winter Frolic for the snowmen! The Silhoutte fuzzy vinyl was cut for the top layer. It easily cuts with the Cricut.
I also added a piece of the October Afternoon to the very back of the card, look how cute it looks! Like a snow village!
Last of all I used the stamps and StayzOn ink to stamp the sentiment on the fuzzy vinyl. No sun in Michigan today, so I had a heck of a time getting good pics of this card, it looks sooo much neater in person!
