No sign-up and no email. Free for personal use and small-scale handmade sales (licence below).

What's in the zip

  • 7 layer SVGs for Cricut Design Space, plus one combined SVG
  • DXF in mm for Silhouette and other cutters
  • 300 dpi PNG of each layer and a stacked preview image
  • Instructions with the colour of every layer

How to make it

  1. In Cricut Design Space choose New Project → Upload → Browse and upload the layer SVGs one at a time (or the combined SVG).
  2. Don't resize, or resize every layer by the same percentage, so the layers still line up.
  3. Pick Cardstock as the material, load the colour for each layer and cut.
  4. Stack the layers back to front, lining up the two round registration holes. Foam tape between layers adds depth.
  5. Frame it in an 8 × 8 in (20 × 20 cm) shadow box with about 2.5 cm of depth.

Cardstock 216–250 g/m² (80–110 lb) and a fine-point blade work best. Cut a small test piece first.
