Step 1: Cut Enchanted Shadow Box Layers with Cricut

Upload the Enchanted Shadow Box SVG to Cricut Design Space. If you need help with uploading SVG files, then check out my tutorial here. Make sure to check the size of your project and adjust if needed. If you are using a 10″x10″ frame, the project size should be 9.55″x9.55″, but make sure to measure the inside of the box just to make sure. If using a different size, adjust accordingly.

Note: Make sure to measure the inside of the shadow box because this size is typically smaller than the shadow box size.

Step 2: Layer Shadow Box Layer on Top of Each Other

If you want the layers to stick out for a 3 dimensional effect, then you will use foam tape between the layers. When applying the foam, layer the foam tape around each of the 4 edges. This 1/4″ foam tape works great for this.

To layer the designs, start by layering the dark blue layer on top of the yellow square. Next, add the light blue layer with the clouds.

Then, add the pink layer with the castle. The castle should be on the right when facing you. Top this with the orange layer and then the dark purple layer. For the dark purple layer, the girl should be on the left side when facing you. And then add the lighter purple layer on top.

Before adding the green layer, glue the brown layer on top of the green layer. Then glue in the flowers and circles for the flower. Then attach this assembled piece to the top of your enchanted shadow box design.

Step 3: Place the Enchanted Design in a Shadow Box

When all your layers are attached, place the layered design inside of the shadow box and decorate your house with it. If your shadow box is thicker than the design, add something to the back to keep the design pressed to the front of the shadow box. I always place one of my other already made shadow box designs behind it.
