Visit my blog to get the free layered SVG cut file for the owl layered paper art.
Download the FREE layered owl mandala SVG from the VIP library.
Open Cricut Design Space. Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas. Click on upload. Locate the file on your computer and upload it to Cricut Design Space.
Select the file from the library and insert the file on the canvas, resize the file to your needs. You can resize it to cut on a 12×12 cardstock or if you're using an A4 or letter-sized paper, you can reduce the size to 7.5" in width. Once you're happy with the size, click on “Make it”.
Load the paper in the machine and cut everything out. Follow the tips given above to get the best cuts.
After cutting everything, assemble the layers together based on the image included in the SVG package.
Use foam squares between the layers to create a 3D effect.
Place the 3D art in a shadow box and use it as a home decor or as a gift!
