Step-by-Step Instructions: How to Make a Robot-Themed Layered Letter Using Cricut
You will need….
- Cricut machine (Joy, Explore, or Maker)
- Cricut Design Space (free software)
- Standard Gripmat (green)
- Weeding tool (for removing small bits)
- Brayer (optional, to smooth cardstock on mat)
- Foam pads or glue
- Pintasa Acrylic Paint Pens
- Card Stock
1: Upload Your SVG
- Open Cricut Design Space.
- Click “Upload” and select your Robot Alphabet SVG.
- Insert the file onto your canvas.
2: Resize the Design
- Select your letter or number and resize it to approx 5 inches wide.
- Duplicate the design. Set one copy aside.
3: Create Your Card Base
- Select one copy of the SVG.
- Click “Offset” to create a background shape for your card. Adjust the offset size to your liking.
- Click “Contour” and hide all inner cuts (so the background is solid).
- Duplicate the offset shape.
- Flip one shape horizontally to create a mirror image.
- Align the two shapes side by side and slightly overlap them.
- Use a square from the shapes tool, place it over the overlapping section, and click “Weld” to join the shapes. This creates a folding card base.

4: Add a Flat Base (So Card Stands Up)
- Add a square, unlock proportions, and stretch it to a narrow rectangle.
- Place it at the bottom of the card base (just overlapping the edge).
- Select both and click “Slice” to cut a flat edge.
- Delete the excess pieces.
5: Create Your Layers
- Go back to your duplicate SVG and begin creating layers:
- Duplicate it multiple times (for each colour layer you want).
- Use “Contour” to remove different details on each version (e.g. buttons, bolts, eyes).
- Assign a different colour to each layer to help guide your cutting (e.g. red, silver, blue).

6: Cut Your Layers
- Load your cardstock onto the Cricut mat.
- Send each coloured layer to cut using “On Mat” option.
- Use “More” pressure if your cardstock is thick.
- Carefully reverse-weed thicker pieces off the mat by flipping the mat over and peeling it back.
7: Assemble Your Card
- Fold your card base in half.
- Starting from the back layer, begin building the design using foam pads for dimension.
- Align each layer carefully.
- Add small foam pieces behind smaller shapes like bolts and buttons for stability.

8: Add Finishing Touches
- Use a silver or white acrylic paint pen to draw bolts, eyes, or add extra detail.
- Add dots, lines or shadows to make your robot pop!
