Want to create this gorgeous Mother's Day Layered Image?

Here's what we used:
x6 12"x12" Sheets of Card :
Cream Vellum Plain Card 290gsm
New Lilac Plain Card 240gsm
Buff Smooth Card 260gsm
Mocha Brown Plain Card 240gsm
Black Plain Card 240gsm
Blush Plain Card 240gsm

Double Sided Tape

A Cutting Machine - We used a Silhouette Cameo but you can use your Cricut, Brother, or any other kind of electronic cutting machine
A 12x12" Cutting Mat

We recommend taking a look at our Classic 12x12" Pick & Mix Box
You can choose up to 10 picks of card or paper in a Classic 12x12" Pick & Mix Box.

We're used a cutting file from Creative Fabrica
Here's the link to the file we used https://www.creativefabrica.co... but look through their website, there's plenty to choose from!

Let's get started!

First you will need to download your cutting file.
Creative Fabrica is a digital assets website that offers a variety of different subscriptions for their creative assets. If you're a little unsure then try out their Free Trail (10 free downloads). Follow the link below:
https://www.creativefabrica.co...

Once you have downloaded your file you will then need to add it to your project page.
We sized our project to fit the entire page of the 12"x12" card, once I had each image set up on it's own page and all the same size I sent it off to cut.

Whilst you're waiting for the first image to cut you can prepare your other pages depending on how many cutting mats you have.

The setting we used to cut Plain Card on a Silhouette Cameo:
We used the presets for Glitter card then increased the Blade Depth, passes and decreased the speed.
Blade Depth - 7
Passes - 3
Force - 33
Speed - 2

I used an AutoBlade when cutting my Plain Card.

After all the images were cut I started adding my double sided tape to the back side of the card.

Once you have attached your tape to one side of your card the next step is to start placing the pieces on top of each other!

There you go!
A beautiful Mother's Day Shadow Box that your Mum, Gran, Step-Mum, Mother-in-law, Aunty, or anyone else who you look up to and love will adore!
