Materials List:

• Cricut or Silhouette smart cutting machine
• Glue gun and glue sticks
• Weeding tools
• 9×9” Black Shadow Box Frame
• Cutting mat
• Scissors
• LED light strip
• Clear vellum
• White cardstock or white posterboard
• Black cardstock (optional)
• White foam core
• Exacto knife
• FREE “Rainbow Bridge” Pet Memorial Shadow Box SVG file

Instructions:

Turn your shadow box over with the glass facing down. Open the back. Using your scraper, remove the canvas covered pad that is attached to the backing material. You can discard this pad or use it for a later project.

Next, if you are using posterboard, cut it down to sizes that you can cut on your mat.

Cut your foam core board into thin strips, about ½ inch wide(they do not need to be perfect for this since they will be in the back)

Gather your cardstock or posterboard. Load the “Rainbow bridge” file into Cricut Design Space. Adjust the width of each square to 9 inches. The first mat with just the circle in the middle can be cut using a black piece of cardstock to frame the image (this is optional). Select the Make it button.

Place your cardstock/posterboard on your mat and proceed to follow the directions in Design Space to cut.

Once all of your cardstock pieces are cut out, weed to remove the unnecessary pieces.

Trace one of your squares onto a piece of vellum and cut with scissors. Line up all of your pieces starting from the back. The vellum is in the back, and next come the image with the smallest circle, then a bigger circle, and so on until the last one is placed on top with the biggest circle.

Turn each piece over onto its front and attach pieces of foam core to the back with hot glue. You will layer each piece and then foam core until you reach the back. Place your 3-D stack into your frame with the vellum towards the back.

To add a light strip, simply remove the backing and attach the sticky side inside of your frame all the way around the edges. Place the back of your frame back on and press the tabs down to hold your project in place. Turn the lights on or leave them off. This project looks amazing either way!! Enjoy!

Notes:

Check to make sure your shadow box will fit all of your layers with the foam core between for the best fit. If it is too thick, leave off the layer of foam core on the vellum or the front piece of cardstock with just the plain circle on it.

If your lights aren’t showing up enough, pull them away from the edges of the frame, and closer to the opening of your circles.

This project has very intricate cuts. Make sure to use a fresh, sharp blade when cutting for the best result!
