Free Woodland Christmas Shadow Box SVG And Tutorial

Share

There is nothing prettier than a shadow box, they are so rewarding to make, they also look great quality. Additionally, if you get it right they make wonderful gifts. My free Woodland Christmas Shadow Box SVG is perfect for Christmas decor and hand made gift ideas. Also scroll down for my tutorial, which will take you through how to size and measure your shadow box, to get it exactly right.

I chose a woodland theme as there is something beautiful about being out in nature in the snow, it just feels festive? Thus this shadow box is designed to represent the snow on the hills in the background, with the sky full of stars and the woodland animals in their natural environment. It’s also very easy to make.

How To Make This Christmas Shadow Box

Start by uploading all of your Christmas Woodland SVG files to Cricut Design Space.

Next measure the internal area of you shadow box frame. I aways use my Cricut cutting mat to do this, as I find it translates to design space easily.

Now size all of your woodland layers to ensure they all line up together. Once they do, select all, right click and group them together. Once grouped together you can move and size the project as a whole to the size you require.

When you are ready to send your Christmas Shadow Box SVG files too cut, arrange your colours. I find it helps me pick out my card stock and colour my layers in design space accordingly. Now send to cut.

Tips For Cutting Your Files With A Cricut Maker

Use a brayer to adhere the card-stock to your cutting mat. If you are using double sided glitter I find it helps to also secure it with strong masking tape.

If your cutting mat looses its stickiness this will affect the quality of cut. Also make sure your mat is in good condition, this is vital for cutting intricate cuts.

Additionally, set the material and cut pressure correctly to match whatever materials you’re cutting to guarantee a clean cut. If you have any problems cutting check the mat, pressure and material settings as generally this is where the problem will lie.

How To Build You Christmas Shadow Box

Start by lining up all the layers, group them together and place face downwards on the craft table.

How to attach your layers

Starting at the back turn the back layer over. Now apply double sided tape to the back of layer 2, flip this over and attach to the back layer. Keep working though the layers until you have built up the whole Woodland Christmas shadow box.
