Print Friendly and PDF

Fun Cricut shadow box ideas for your at home projects with your cutting machine - I provide the SVG template and the instructions, and you bring your choice of cardstock and frame and get ready to get creative with your Cricut!

Shadow box ideas for your CricutShadow box ideas for your Cricut

I've got some lovely Cricut shadow box ideas to inspire you - I hand-draw my own designs so that you get a shadow box template ready to put together that's unique and original.

I like to make my shadow boxes look intricate but easy to put together, so don't worry about making the layered project - it's lots of fun!

I also share with you what you'll need for your project and exactly how to put the layers together to get the best results - so all you need to do is decide which shadow box you want to make first..!

I like to make my shadow boxes colourful and fun - so that they look great even if you don't want to add lights to the back (although you can do so if you wish). I've found that it's a bit of a hassle trying to get the lights in, and wondering where to store the battery pack - and then you forget to switch them on - so that's why I design primarily for shadow boxes without lights - so that you can get the best results!

I share alternative colour combinations for you, too, so that you can feel inspired to get creative with your own colour choices - or just stick with the ones I picked, it's up to you!

Files come in SVG/DXF/PNG/EPS formats - ideal for Cricut, Silhouette, ScanNCut and other cutting machines, or cutting by hand.

You can use the files for personal use or commercial use (small-business only - up to 200 products).

You can only use the files for physical (craft) products - no digital products or sharing.
