How to Make Layered Spaceship Letters in Cricut Design Space (Perfect for Cake Toppers & Cards)

Supplies You’ll Need:

• Cricut Design Space
• Cricut cutting machine
• Cardstock in various colours:
  • Sparkly dark blue (top layer)
  • Red and orange (spaceship body and flames)
  • Gold glitter card (back star layer)
• Free top-layer alphabet and number SVG (provided in video)
• Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue or similar craft glue
• Light grip cutting mat
• Weeding tools (optional for small pieces)

Step 1: Upload Your Design to Cricut Design Space

Begin by uploading the top layer of the alphabet and number set into Cricut Design Space. For this tutorial, we’ll be using the number 8 as an example.

1. Upload the file.
2. Select the number or letter you want to work on.
3. Remove any other letters from your canvas to keep it tidy.

Step 2: Add an Offset

These letters are quite fine in detail. Consider adding a small offset to make them chunkier and easier to handle:

1. Select your number.
2. Click Offset and adjust the size to your preference.
3. Apply the offset and duplicate it for layering.

This step is optional, depending on whether you prefer a finer or chunkier letter style.

Step 3: Create Layered Colours for the Spaceship

You’ll now start duplicating and editing each layer using the Contour tool to build up the spaceship look.

1. Duplicate the base layer.
2. Use Contour to remove parts:
   • First, remove everything except the main shape.
   • Change this layer’s colour (e.g. red).
3. Duplicate again:
   • Use Contour to remove everything except the flames and centre of the star.
   • Change this layer to orange.
4. Duplicate once more to create a full background layer.

Step 4: Prepare the Star Background Layer

To create the star cut-outs that shine through:

1. Duplicate your background layer again.
2. Use Contour to remove all details, leaving only the full outline.
3. Duplicate this to make two versions:
   • One will become the star cut-out layer.
   • The second will be the back-most glitter layer.
4. Set the back layer colour to yellow (or gold glitter card).

Step 5: Add Star Cut-Outs

Now let’s design the stars that will appear in the background.

1. Open the Shapes tool and select Star.
2. Adjust star sizes to create variety and duplicate as needed.
3. Move the top (blue) layer above your star layer to check visibility.
4. Arrange the stars so they’re visible but don’t interfere with the top layer design.

Step 6: Weld and Slice the Star Layer

To create your actual star cut-outs:

1. Hide or move the top and back layers temporarily.
2. Select all stars and the layer they sit on.
3. Click Weld to combine them.
4. Now select the welded layer and slice the stars out of the back layer.
5. Delete the leftover pieces.

You now have a layer with star-shaped holes, ready to sit over the gold glitter card.

Step 7: Arrange and Check Your Layers

1. Reorder your layers using the right-hand panel in Cricut Design Space.
2. Ensure your yellow glitter layer is at the back.
3. Check the visual to make sure all elements are aligned and stars are visible.

Step 8: Resize and Send to Cut

1. Resize your design on the mat if needed.
2. Make sure all layers fit your project (e.g. cake topper or card size).
3. Send the layers to cut.

Tip: If you’re using delicate card, use a light grip mat and reverse peel to avoid curling.

Step 9: Assemble Your Layered Letter

Once your pieces are cut:

1. Start gluing from the back layer forward.
2. Use Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue, it dries clear and can be wiped clean.
3. Carefully align each layer, pressing gently as you go.

Note: You can pause this process at any time to check placement or clean up any excess glue.

Final Tips and Notes

• The offset layer adds a chunkier finish; whether to use it is down to personal preference.
• These letters are brilliant for space-themed birthdays, party decor, or custom scrapbooking pages.
