I should have come here first before spending lots of money on other people's designs on Etsy! I can totally make my own now after watching your great video, thanks for sharing :)

[@m.d.5849]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm new to Cricut and not only managed to do my first own shadowbox, but also learned so much about Design Space. Thank you 😊

[@SamVa94]

Finally!! This is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you for making this tutorial!

[@bethandbeading4280]

Great tutorial! I have the explore air 2, but I can adjust as needed. Thinking of making a shadow box with a family tree in for my sister in law who is expecting a new baby very soon. This was very helpful

[@ElisaAlbe]

Just popping in to say that thanks to your super easy tutorial I managed to make my very first box and I'm soooooo happy with it!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

[@sabrinamartinez3864]

This is a great tutorial! I created my own images in design space using your technique! Super helpful! But for some reason I am getting a caution sign “⚠️” saying that my borders are too large and can not be bigger than 6.8 I originally sized them 10x10 as you mentioned in your video. Any advice on how to correct this?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

You have them set to print then cut. Change them to basic cut

Hola! hay alguna manera de exportar el diseño sin tener la maquina de cricut? porque a la hora de exportar me pide que la conecte y no tengo otras formas de exportar, gracias

[@CorinneBlackstone]

Yes you don't need a machine to export the file itself. But if you want to cut the file you have to have a cricut. to export the file I would recommend this video to help guide you kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJTChYiOm517eJYsi=Px-d4vL7m2w2utr1 You will need to make sure your layers are not overlapping anywhere because each will need to be exported individually. So I would hide all about one layer at a time and export each page as its own PNG. I hope this helps!

If I have an 8x8 shadow box, would I use a 8x8 size frame or should I make an inch smaller?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

You’ll want to measure the actual inside of your shadow box. While they say 8x8 they may be slightly smaller inside. Make it only about .1 inch smaller than the inside of the frame

[@whitney24100]

@@CorinneBlackstone and an inch smaller for each consecutive frame?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@whitney24100 no. All pages need to be the same size. Also not a full inch just a tenth of an inch

i can't seem to be able to click the item i want as well as the frame and weld them. when i click on the pic, it highlights, then i click frame, it only highlights frame. What am i doing wrong. I have watched your video over and over.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

make sure you are holding ctrl on your keyboard and try using the layers panel to select the items

[@saygoodgood4873]

Now with offset feature , the process will be easier I assume

[@CorinneBlackstone]

The offset feature has nothing to do with this technique.

[@saygoodgood4873]

@@CorinneBlackstone sorry

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@saygoodgood4873 no worries! It’s just not a skill used here.

[@BoomGiggity]

Wouldn't it be easier to place the front frame into place and leave it there, just clicking the eye on and off as you need it?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

If thats easier for you then by all means you can do that.

[@laurieoatman4163]

My shadow box is 8x10, how do I size it?

[@CorinneBlackstone]

You measure the inside of your box and make your rectangle to that size then place your designs like I show in the video

This is not working for me at all. I have the explore air 2. I chose 2 graphics to work with, I can't weld them and slice. It does not cut out the design. I'm so fustrated.

[@CorinneBlackstone]

It’s likely because you are selecting too many layers. Make sure nothing is grouped and you are only selecting two lines on the layers panel. Also be sure everything is set to basic cut
