The first step to designing a shadow box is to create the frame border that all the 'pictures' in the middle of the design will be joined to. Create a square frame in this Lesson and add some pretty text to the top two layers.

This Class includes six free snowflake SVGs. See how to position them inside your frame to create dimensional artwork.

Let's add even more interest to our shadow box layers! The "Offset" feature in Design Space is perfect for building up the layers to make them look super impressive.

Now that our shadow box layers have been designed, we need to join all the pictures and layers together with the frames from Lesson 3 to make them ready to cut.

We're so nearly finished with the design portion of this Class! First, though, let's quality-check all of the layers within our design to make sure they will cut beautifully.

How to measure your shadow box frame and resize the design in Design Space to ensure the perfect fit.

Once your custom shadow box has been cut out, it needs to be stuck together! Here's how to make a shadow box papercraft project with foam squares and glue.

Get my top tips for framing your papercraft, including what to do it the back of your frame doesn't quite fit where it's meant to once it's all put together!

Congratulations on designing your first shadow box in Cricut Design Space! In this quick conclusion to the Class, let's recap everything we've learned and celebrate in our success!
