DIY Project Sharing | Fresh Warm Coffee Served Daily with iEngrave Cover Machine

[rinsky]

One of my favorite beverages is coffee. I love starting my day with a fresh, warm cup—it energizes me to tackle everything I’ve planned. I also enjoy sipping coffee while reading messages or catching up on online community activities from my laptop or phone. That’s why I decided to create a coffee-themed home décor piece for our living room using the iEngrave machine. It’s one of the materials I tested during my Hands-On Reviewer Program.

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: 4 minutes

MATERIALS:

🩷Cardstock (92# wt. & 110# wt.)
🩷8" x 8" Shadow Frame Box
🩷Craft Glue
🩷Square foam double sided tape

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 Size: Cut file is approximately 6.5" circle with an 8" x 8" shadow frame box.

Hands-On Review with the iEngrave Cover Machine | Part 2. Testing & Review | UPDATED

[IMG_9608] Hello Beautiful People and Fellow Crafters! Now, we are heading to Part 2 which is Engraving & Cutting, Safety & Operation Feel, and my Overall thoughts. The iEngrave is a10W diode laser with 0.02mm precision and speeds up to 30,000mm/min. It cuts and engraves over 300 materials — wood, leather, slate, coated metals, acrylic (non-transparent), and more. So, let’s go ahead and let’s do some tests run, fired up this machine and put this at work! (NOTE: I utilized the mobile LOKLiK Id…

It looks awesome, the design is very sof and armonic. I like the bump effect that the edges lines create. Is it laser burnt? Is it how it looks cutting cardboard with the iEngrave?

[rinsky]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad the soft, harmonic vibe came through—it was exactly what I was going for

The “bump” effect you noticed is actually from the cut lines themselves! You’ve got a great eye! That bump effect is one of my favorite surprises when working with cardstock.

Magnets were my secret weapon to keep everything crisp — cardstock loves to wiggle when it’s excited! NOTE: I forgot to use magnets on my first cut, but I corrected that on the second—and as you’ll see below, it gave me a much crisper result.

TIP: If you want cleaner and crisper cut, you can mirror image your design.

[redhada]

If that was the intention you nailed it!
I like having the chance to choose between the two finishes.

If I had to use a magnet under a laser cutting, I would never do it if you didn’t tell us you did and everything is fine so thank you!

[rinsky]

Haha, right? I had the same hesitation at first! But after testing it out, I can confirm—magnets under the iEngrave are totally safe as long as they’re flat and placed outside the cutting path. They make a huge difference with cardstock, especially when it starts to curl mid-cut.

I’m so glad the two finishes stood out to you! I love giving options, and it’s fun to see how a tiny tweak (like using magnets) can change the final look. Thanks so much for the kind words and for noticing the details—it means a lot! 🩷🩷

[redhada]

Ahaa! That is a powerfull machine, and safety is important. Your work testing it is also a bit of the Emperor meal tester, please be safe

[rinsky]

Haha, I love that—“Emperor’s meal tester” is officially going on my crafting résumé! You’re absolutely right though—safety is always top priority. I make sure to test carefully and share only what’s been proven safe through hands-on trials. The iEngrave is powerful, but with the right setup and precautions, it’s a total game-changer for paper projects.

Thanks for the thoughtful reminder and the smile! I’ll keep testing so you don’t have to (but I promise to dodge any metaphorical poison darts along the way)

[InkiteeWorkshop]

your coffee stations is fantastic! and you used cardstock! wow!

[rinsky]

Aww, thank you so much! I had way too much fun with this one—who knew cardstock could look so cozy? I was low-key nervous it wouldn’t hold up, but with the right settings (and a few magnets for good behavior), it totally delivered. Now I just need to resist making a matching cocoa station… or do I?

Another fun and challenging project you made with the iEngrave. Thank you for the tip and sharing this to us. Very well done. I love it!

[Edz]

Absolutely love how you’ve merged your two morning rituals—coffee and crafting—into one standout décor piece! Beautifully done with your iEngrave machine!

[InkiteeWorkshop]

ha ha, no rules!
