Do you have an engraving tool and either wondered what to do with it or felt too intimidated to try it? I’ve totally been there, and so has everyone in my Engraving Metals Facebook Group. Some of us have been able to push through the mental block though and really embrace what’s possible when you engrave with a Cricut Maker. Now it’s time to pay it forward, and for the next THREE weeks, we’ll be here to support, encourage and inspire you to engrave. If you’re not brand new to engraving, I want you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and try something that’s new to you.
Maybe that’s engraving through Infusible Ink, or engraving super small, or maybe it’s using different metals or mixing media.
To support you in this, I’ll be hosting a weekly Facebook Live in the Engraving Metals group that will kick off each week’s theme.
We’ll Also Provide During the Challenge:
- Free Engraving Designs (Look under the Free Library>Engraving Designs>Engraving Challenge Freebies)
- Support in the Engraving Metals Facebook Group Community so you can find answers to your questions and encouragement to keep going.
- Weekly Kick-Off FB Live (Sundays)
- Weekly FB Live Project Tutorials
- Bonus Code for $5 off the Sale Price of the Engraving Metals with Your Cricut Maker E-book (the code is in a post on the FB page)
How You Participate in the Engraving Challenge
- It’s pretty simple, just post a photo of the project that you did that week that works with the engraving jewelry challenge of the week. If you’re running behind a week that’s totally fine. And add the hashtags #engravingjewelry and #engravingchallenge to your post.
- Watch the optional FB Lives. You can find them in the FB group under the Guide for the Engraving Jewelry Challenge.
- Comment on posts in the group. Whether it’s my posts, or other peoples posts, leave comments with encouragement and questions (if you have them).
And of course- JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP!
