This is a beautiful floral heart design and a really easy Cricut shadow box template for you - I've so far designed quite a few shadow box templates, that are all pretty easy, but I'm certain that this is the easiest, and it looks gorgeous too...
With a heart design made up of flowers, it would look lovely on a bedroom or living room wall - and would also make a really thoughtful handmade gift for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, birthdays, or just because!
The floral heart shadow box is based on one of my floral heart SVG designs - and it's just three layers to make - one of these is just a plain square to make the background so it could hardly be simpler!
I designed it so that it looks intricate and beautiful though - so no one will guess how easy it actually was to make!
I'll take you through step-by-step, below, exactly how to make the floral heart shadow box - I'll be showing you the white, blue and red version (photo above) that's the colours you'll see in your template - but I also made the version in a tropical style (photo below) with black, pink, and green for a different look.
You can use whichever colours you prefer, but these might inspire you - I'll discuss colour choices just below and you can also see some different colour ideas (as well as some familiar ones you'll see here) on this page...
What you'll need:
Your colour choices can really change the look of the floral heart shadow box a lot - I wanted to make a light and a dark one to show you, so I made one with the main design cut in white (actually an extremely pale blue) and one cut in black (actually a very dark navy/slate grey)...
I think the white one, with the blue and red, is a classic look and I love that the design looks so pretty and lace-like...
The black (navy) one, I think looks more contemporary with the slightly unusual colour choices and definitely has a tropical vibe!
Whichever colours you choose for your own project, please do consider the contrast between the different layers - you can see how the top layer (with the intricate cut design) really stands out against the layer immediately below (or next to it as you look at it) for both of these examples...
This is done by contrasting between the dark navy/black and a very pale pink - and again with the white against a mid-to-dark toned blue.
You then want to find another contrast - either of tone or colour for the third and final layer (red or zingy green in the examples above) - this needs to contrast most with the middle layer, as visually that's right next to it - so the red against the blue gives a visual stimulation - the red looks bright against the blue, but doesn't overwhelm it, nor the white that's the main focus of the design.
The same for the pink and green - they give a little 'zing' when they're next to each other - but they don't take attention away from the black/navy main design.
You can try this with different colours as you like, and see how it looks - and please know that this is just one way of doing it - you can also tone up with very similar colours for each of the three layers - this can give you a much softer, gentler and more subtle look to the design, especially if you use softer or more muted colours - which might be just perfect for you!
You can print these instructions to help you if you wish.
Use the 'print' buttons on the top right on the webpage and towards the bottom of the page, below the instructions. This will allow you to leave out any parts of the page you don't want or need.
And this is how the tropical-look pink & green one worked out!
