I’m completely obsessed with the iEngrave Cover Machine lately, so I had to test it out on something a little more intricate—cardstock cutting!
I chose a 5-layer butterfly design that felt just right for my sister-in-law’s birthday. It turned out beautifully and made the perfect handmade gift. I’ve already shared a sneak peek and some details in my Part 2 Hands-On Reviewer Program post, but I couldn’t resist highlighting it again here. The precision and clean cuts this machine delivers are seriously impressive!
MACHINE USED: LOKLiK iEngrave Cover Machine
MACHINE SETTINGS:
Operation Style: Cut
Mode Style: Line
Material: Cardstocks (92# wt. & 110# wt.)
Power: 100%
Speed: 1300mm/min (Cardstock 92# wt.) & 1122mm/min (Cardstock 110# wt.)
Passes: 1
Time: 8 minutes and 40 seconds (5 layered cardstock)
MATERIALS USED:
🩷Cardstock (92# wt. & 110# wt.)
🩷Cardstock Trimmer/Cutter
🩷Craft Glue
🩷Square foam double sided tape
🩷Paper weights (optional)
I used 110# weight cardstock for the base card, and a mix of 92# and 110# weight for the five layered design. I glued all the layers together, except between layers 4 and 5—there, I added square double-sided foam to create a 3D effect.
TIP: When cutting cardstock, I recommend using magnets to hold it in place, since it tends to curl or shift while the machine is cutting.
Finished Card Size: 6.5" x 5"
I have not tried to cut felt fabrics ‘coz synthetic felt and treated felt are not recommended. Some materials are extremely dangerous or ineffective to cut with any laser, particularly a diode laser, due to toxic emissions or other hazards. 
I really wanted the colors to feel playful but still elegant, and I tried to echo the HTVRONT & LOKLiK palette for a little extra brand love. It means a lot to know the choices resonated! I’m so glad the project sparked some inspiration—it was such a joy to create and share. Can’t wait to see what it inspires next in the community! 
I had way too much fun layering that butterfly—definitely a “go big or go home” moment. The iEngrave really showed off with those clean cuts! My sister-in-law was over the moon, and honestly, seeing her reaction made every pass worth it. I’m so glad it resonated with you too—your kind words mean a lot! 
Both natural (wool) and synthetic felts are laser-cuttable. However, if your felt is a blend or of unknown origin, it could contain unsafe components. Wool felt produces an odor, while synthetic felt tends to melt and seal the edges.
