Mirror design with Chomas Creations precision tip for the Cricut

I just love how this turned out to add to my Christmas decorations.  I used the Chomas Creations precision tip in the Cricut Maker to etch this design on a plastic mirror I found at Joanns.  I used a chalkboard font and it looks like it is filled in, the font is called KG Second Chances.  I did use a multi cut of 2 on this design.  You can find the Chomas Creations tool here... precision tip
You can do this with the entire Explore line as well for all my Cricut fans!

Chomas Creations engraving tip in the Maker

I found this Arc Crafts wood and needed to see if I could engrave on it. I got it at Michaels and have seen it at Joanns. After I engraved it with the Chomas Creations engraving tip I colored on it with Sharpie marker. I wish I had some dye ink, that would have been so much easier! As you can see in the one pic you can't see much without some sort of dye or color on it that well. Of course my lightning is icky!!! So yes you can engrave on wood if you find some thin enough to fit under the rollers! Great news! And more great news this will work in the Explore as well.

Engraving with the Cricut Explore

Ooooh wait till you see what the Cricut Explore can do!  How about etch or engrave aluminum tags!!?  I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip to make these tags.  I did use a multi cut of 2 and the highest pressure in the software.  I'm still trying to figure out the software for the Explore, so I don't have a tutorial just yet.  If anyone has ideas on making this easy, please share!
I used some of the chalkboard fonts for these.  You can see more about these here... chalkboard fonts
These dog tags and other aluminum shapes and sizes can be found at Ohax Industries!
Keep in mind these tools have been updated and now fit in the right side of the machine in place of the blade.

Here is another tag I did as well!  I love these chalkboard fonts as they show up really well over any open font.

Engraving glass with the Chomas Creations engraving tip

A HUGE thanks goes out to Terrie Wytosick for sharing this tutorial and letting me add it to my blog!  Terrie, I am in AWE here! 
Terrie did tell me she added a mat under the machine to catch any glass pieces, and note how she took it to the sink to rinse off the glass shavings, I would NOT brush this off with your hands for sure :) 
Again Terrie thanks so much for sharing! 
This is with the Chomas Creations engraving tip in the Explore.  You could do the same with the other machines, just make sure to use a light pressure so as not to crack the glass.
