How do I make this project?

Cut your design(s) using your preferred cutting machine (machine-specific tutorials are available here).

Assemble the layers in sequence by stacking them in the numbered order. Each layer is clearly numbered for easy stacking, except for the top layer, which hides the numbers underneath. Find detailed tutorials here.

Frame your completed project in a frame of your choice. Wood or acrylic projects and 3d paper projects with spacers fit well in shadow box frames. Paper projects without spacers fit in any regular frame.

OPTIONAL: You may or may not want to glue your layers together. The choice it yours. 

What other supplies do I need?

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

Cutting machine or laser machine

Material to cut (card stock, wood, or acrylic):

Designs with 5 or fewer layers work well with materials that are 1/8" or less in thickness.

Designs with 6-7 layers work well with materials that are 1/16" or less in thickness.

Designs with 8+ layers work best with card stock or very thin materials.

A frame to display your creation:

For wood, acrylic, or 3-dimensional card stock projects, a shadow box frame is recommended.

For card stock projects without foam spacers, you can opt for any standard 8"x8" frame of your choice.

OPTIONAL MATERIALS:

Foam spacers for card stock projects 

Add a 3-dimensional effect to your card stock project by using foam spacers in between layers.

Glue (for gluing your layers together).

Acid free tape (to secure your photos in picture frame designs).

Paint or stain for wood projects.

What is a Layered SVG File?

A layered SVG is an SVG file that, once loaded into your cutting machine such as a Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo or laser cutting machine, will cut each layer in the file on a separate piece of material.

What size are these designs?

Each design is sized to 8"x8" but can be infinitely resized. Keep in mind that the maximum cut size is determined by your machine and mat size. Take care when sizing down as small details may be lost or cut poorly.

How do I use these files?

Each design comes with an easy-to-follow PDF instruction manual and links to our growing library of tutorials.

What if I have more questions?

We are here to help! Our customer service is fast and friendly. If you have a question about your purchase or and issues with your files, please reach out to support@craftycatsvg.com and we will happily assist you.

Can I use these files with Cricut®, Silhouette® or Brother ScanNCut®?

Yes, our files work with all of the above. Each design includes an SVG for Cricut and Brother Scan n Cut as well as .studio3 file which works with all paid versions of Silhouette Studio (Designer, Designer Plus, and Business Edition).

WHAT THIS MEANS:
When you load a .studio3 file into Silhouette Studio, the layers will be automatically loaded and ready to cut on separate sheets of paper. The SVG files still work with Silhouette Studio, but require the user to manually separate the layers before cutting.

Will these work with my laser machine?

Probably! Our files are layered SVG files and work most modern laser machines. We have successfully tested our files on Glowforge®, xTool® and WeCreat® lasers and any laser that uses Lightburn® or CorelDraw®. 

 

*If you find our your machine is not compatible, we will issue a full refund!

How does the Money-Back Guarantee work?

We're pretty sure you're going to love these projects. But if you don't, email support@craftycatsvg.com within 30 days of your purchase and we will happily issue a refund.
