Thank you so much. I’ve wanted to learn how to do these and you explained so well. I’m new at this and your videos have been so helpful. Keep them coming, I appreciate you.
Can you share which lights you use and where you get them? At my local store, I can only find white lights and that is hit and miss, assuming I may need to order them, thank you. Love your tutorial.
@@michellebaker8501 you must be. The svg file may show as a html document. Thats the file you have to load. On most computers it shows that way but thats the file you have to use
this is nice ty so much! can you tell me how you decide the colors of each layer? i want to try to make one of these for my friends dog that passed. any idea how to take an personal image and do this?
You explained this so well!! I have a couple questions: -do you have to use heavier cardstock for this? I have the 65lb one, just wondering if that will work? -if you dont mind sharing, where do you make your svgs? Thanks again!
This one was created in design space. I use 80 - 100 lb cardstock for these because the little pieces tend to flop backwards with anything lighter. I will use a 65 lb on the back though if its a solid piece so it lets more light through
i am trying to figure out how to get the images on my design space so i can make my own can you help me to figure this out.. yours are so beautiful thank you for all your help
Thank you for a different way to do these!!! I just started and want to sell my own on Etsy on my shop. Any advice on how to target an audience of people and how to get my first sale?
First don’t just sell on Etsy make your own website sell there too. When people by from Etsy they just say they got the item on Etsy and not the story name. The fees can be kind of high as well. Also don’t even dabble in copywrite or trademarked items your shop will be taken down quickly. You have to market yourself Etsy won’t do it for you so get all your social media channels going and post process videos and finished product videos as often as possible
Love this and thank you for all your awesome videos. I would love to make this with a lake scene & Adirondack chairs. Do you have an svg with a lake scene. I would buy it.
I love ❤️ this idea 3D lights but I am not a Disney person please don’t kill me people! I have been there and had a great time! I just don’t decorate with it lol. Would love ❤️ to use this idea with another picture. Thanks Corinne for another great tutorial!
Hello Corinne, Thanks for the tutorial, I just purchased your HP light box download, I am new to Cricut machine so I will see how it goes..fingers crossed that I can do this. Maybe a tutorial on which file to upload would be good. Once uploaded I don't know if I save as simple moderate or complex and then as print and cut or just cut.
With the svg which may show as an internet browser file you do not choose any of the options. It uploads already cleaned up and ready to cut. Just resize it for your box
This is awesome. Couple of questions though. How long does a charge on the lights last roughly? Also so you would have to take it off the wall etc and place it next to a computer/laptop to recharge it? Thank You
I don't sell products. but I recommend getting your own website over allowing some other platform to take money from you and control what you do. I use wix
It looks like the LED link doesn't have a disconnect before the USB connector. Wouldn't the hole have to be much larger without this feature in order to fit the entire end of the USB cord?
Beautiful but question, do you cut all out all of the project or use the contour button and cut only the outlines of the pictures and hide the rest of the puctures? Make sense
So do you cut different sizes of card stock or cut out the same sizes of each cardstock to see each layer even the light is on in the frame example is each card stock 9.72 like you said or like one is 9.72 and the other is a different size
This is a great tutorial! I'm wondering if you could use a narrow foam mounting tape instead of the foam core? Or is that typically not thick enough? I do like Disney and think the changing lights works well for the fireworks in the background. I'm just not sure yet what I want to do for my scene? But I love seeing the "how to"! Thank you for sharing!
@@CorinneBlackstone would you recommend leaving the backing on the one side of the foam tape so the next layer doesn't actually stick to it in case removal is needed for any reason?
Switch doesn't exist. These are remote controlled. And lightbox usually means a small flat item that emits light used for tracing images. A shadow box is a deep frame.
When I try to cut a 12x12 to make same size shadow box circuit cuts every page around and gives it a border making it smaller......help how do I stop this from happening???????
You need to have the control box and plug and the remote. Honestly most of the time its cheaper to buy the shorter strips and just not cut them down and make more strands.
There are tons of awesome baseball files. I would take a look at one you like and either use that or use it as inspiration to piece your own together. This is one I found www.creativefabrica.com/product/baseball-shadow-box-template-light-box/ref/236877/
If the roll of strip lights is like 16 feet long and you only need 2 for the box, what do you do with the rest of the light strip? Do you just throw it away or is there a way to utilize all of it?
Did you cut your image smaller than the shadow bow to account for the lights, or just have the lights behind the layers? I purchased an image that had 8 layers, cut it 8x8 for my 8x8 shadow box, and I can't seem to make it fit in the shadow box I have. It gets too tall, so I thought maybe lights around it would be better, but the foam might block out the lights.
Can you tell me the name of the LED set you used? I’m looking on Amazon and there are so many choices. I’m confused too because a lot of them come with a remote control but there are several sets. So if I make numerous boxes as gifts only one would have a remote? Just really confused on the LED s any additional info much appreciated. Thanks for this tutorial I love it!
Mary, the images are not cut 'from' the squares. They are silhouette images 'welded' to the square frames, apart from the fireworks images which were laid onto a solid square and then 'sliced' out
I measure the box so like this being a 10x10 it’s about 40 inches worth of lights it just depends on your box size. But usually the three foot ones are perfect
Honestly I don’t recommend Etsy. I recommend starting your own website. Less fees and more freedom. Plus when someone asks where the item was purchased they don’t just say they got it on Etsy. Also you have to be really careful about copywrite a trademarked items

Love your channel so much great advice and so many great ideas
Thank you so much!
Beautiful picture...thank you for such a detailed tutorial
I LOVE this. I would love to see a Harry Potter SVG. You do amazing work and are an inspiration to get out there and craft.
Thank you Matthew!
I couldn’t understand how to do the lights before. ThNk you for your video! I’m excited to try the lights your way.
thanks for showing how to put in the lights!
They are adhesive on the back and I just stick them around the inside of the frame
Thanks! I thought this would be much harder, but you make it seem easy. I appreciate the video!
Thank you for this, I have always wanted to know how this was done. Looks fantastic, great job.
great tutorial.....very well explained!
I REALLY love this! Thank you so much for showing us how you put the 3D shadow box together!
Love this!
I feel a little intimidated but want to give a shadow box a try! You explain everything so well.
Thank you so much for this! Making one as we speak just grabbing some last minute items. Keep up the great page
Love this. You did a super great job creating this. Such a great idea.
Love the idea, thank you. You are so talented
Love this.
I love your sweatshirt!!
Thank you. I made it myself. Svg is available in my etsy store
Very nice!! I definitely want to do one. I don't know what "force perspective" means, but I think I can figure it all out. Thanks!
Nice. You can buy foam board at the Dollar Tree. Thanks for the tutorial!
Wow nice. Great job at explaining. How can I make one using my own picture?
Can you share which lights you use and where you get them? At my local store, I can only find white lights and that is hit and miss, assuming I may need to order them, thank you. Love your tutorial.

Great video
Amazing shadow box!! I purchased the Pride Rock template and didn't realize I had to make it a cut image - too much cleaning to do
You dont. It comes with the svg that you just simply load into your software
I must be missing something, when I upload the software I received, I have to clean it out (spaces in between trees, the moon, etc) :(
@@michellebaker8501 you must be. The svg file may show as a html document. Thats the file you have to load. On most computers it shows that way but thats the file you have to use
That's the one I did use :(
This is beautiful!! How did you cut the images from the squares though in CDS? I'm having such trouble figuring out how to do it 😕
Me too
this is nice ty so much! can you tell me how you decide the colors of each layer? i want to try to make one of these for my friends dog that passed. any idea how to take an personal image and do this?

Great tip!

@Elizabeth - Hi! Did you figure out how to do this? I'm having the same problem!
Hello I loved the tutorial . I learned how to do svg . How do I know what I can sell . Really Appreciate your answer.
What I am wondering is how you get your designs onto Ds to cut them out
This is awesome. Couple of questions though. How long does a charge on the lights last roughly? Also so you would have to take it off the wall etc and place it next to a computer/laptop to recharge it? Thank You
These lights are plugged in not charged.
Just tried clicking your Etsy link and it says unavailable? This was a great tutorial, thank you!
I left etsy but have added this to my website www.corinneblackstone.com/product-page/copy-of-3d-shadow-box-castle-and-friends-svg
thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. Just got started and this was super helpful. what size shadow box do you recommend?
any size will do but I like the 9x9 from michaels
I love your shadow boxes and am looking for a Christmas one; sent you a message through etsy. Thank you.
This is wonderful. Can you use double sided foam tape instead of the foam board?
Yes
Where do you buy the LED lights for that perfect size?
They are linked in the video description
This is awesome and I am definitely thinking about opening an online store. Did you start by selling in a marketplace type setting first??
I don't sell products. but I recommend getting your own website over allowing some other platform to take money from you and control what you do. I use wix
love the this first time trying shadow box what are u using for spacer plz or do sell the spacer for the pages
Window insulation foam tape
@@CorinneBlackstone thank u
Your etsy link doesn't work and I search for you but couldn't find you.
Doreen Roehrs I’m having the same issue
Where did you find the box? Or what should I look for to find one like it? Love this design and idea!
This box is from a store called acmoore. But I get mine from Michaels as well. Just look for shadow boxes
It looks like the LED link doesn't have a disconnect before the USB connector. Wouldn't the hole have to be much larger without this feature in order to fit the entire end of the USB cord?
The link are the lights I used. The hole is quite small no need to shove the entire light box in there just the very end of the LEDs
Beautiful but question, do you cut all out all of the project or use the contour button and cut only the outlines of the pictures and hide the rest of the puctures? Make sense
Nothing is contoured. Things are welded to the edges of the frame to keep everything in place.
So do you cut different sizes of card stock or cut out the same sizes of each cardstock to see each layer even the light is on in the frame example is each card stock 9.72 like you said or like one is 9.72 and the other is a different size
@@Itsyogirl_mommatman every single cardstock layer is cut the exact same size
Thank you so much! I I hope mine turns out ad great as yours I'm doing something different but I plan to make this. This is absolutely beautiful
Last question do you change the size of each project that you weld in the square
This is a great tutorial! I'm wondering if you could use a narrow foam mounting tape instead of the foam core? Or is that typically not thick enough? I do like Disney and think the changing lights works well for the fireworks in the background. I'm just not sure yet what I want to do for my scene? But I love seeing the "how to"! Thank you for sharing!
I would think the foam tape would be thick enough. I believe you can get it in different thicknesses as well
@@CorinneBlackstone would you recommend leaving the backing on the one side of the foam tape so the next layer doesn't actually stick to it in case removal is needed for any reason?
@@rhull-nicholls2727 yes i would not stick them together just the one side to the paper
Where do you get the box or frame that you put it into? It looks really pretty you did a fantastic job and thank you for sharing
This one is from ac Moore but I also get them from michaels
@@CorinneBlackstone awesome ty so much they are so pretty and again ty for sharing
What is the difference between a light box and a shadow box. And where is the switch for the lights, outside???. Thank you
Switch doesn't exist. These are remote controlled. And lightbox usually means a small flat item that emits light used for tracing images. A shadow box is a deep frame.
When I try to cut a 12x12 to make same size shadow box circuit cuts every page around and gives it a border making it smaller......help how do I stop this from happening???????
The cricut can only cut a max size of 11.5x11.5 square
Love this a little overwhelmed being new to cricut but this is exciting. Where do you get your lights or how long roughly were they?
The lights I use are linked in the video description :)
Can you please tell me where you purchased the frame and the dimensions?
This frame is from acmoore its 10x10
I love this!! I have a question, if you make many of them from the LED Light strip, do you buy more remotes? How does that work?
You need to have the control box and plug and the remote. Honestly most of the time its cheaper to buy the shorter strips and just not cut them down and make more strands.
@@CorinneBlackstone great idea- thank you! Im a disney nut- so this shadow box took my breath away!! beautiful job.
I can not find the lights I really want to try a shadow box. How long should the lights be
The lights are linked in the video description but here’s the direct link for you amzn.to/3APtlV4
I have a question, you uploaded the picture of the palm trees and inserted it on design space
Correct.
Could you share the link or name of the shadowbox? Thank you for doing this video- I love it
This is the box I used. acmoore.com/product/104503853/shadow-box-black/1488224
I understand it all great job but where did you get all the different layers?
I have a video showing how to create this with the layers.
Hello, is paper used or cardboard or something else?
Cardstock
do you think you could try to make a tutorial on how to make a baseball shadow box?
There are tons of awesome baseball files. I would take a look at one you like and either use that or use it as inspiration to piece your own together. This is one I found www.creativefabrica.com/product/baseball-shadow-box-template-light-box/ref/236877/
It’s easier to just take the scraper and push it under the left over pieces. They’re off the mat in two seconds
If the roll of strip lights is like 16 feet long and you only need 2 for the box, what do you do with the rest of the light strip? Do you just throw it away or is there a way to utilize all of it?
The supplier I think changed the light length because the strips in got were only 6 feet
But as far as I know you can attach a new power cord
Did you cut your image smaller than the shadow bow to account for the lights, or just have the lights behind the layers? I purchased an image that had 8 layers, cut it 8x8 for my 8x8 shadow box, and I can't seem to make it fit in the shadow box I have. It gets too tall, so I thought maybe lights around it would be better, but the foam might block out the lights.
Mine are behind the paper the open of your shadow box is likely smaller than its listed size
How long are the LED? I can’t find one on Amazon this size they only have super long ones.
The lights I used are linked in the video description they are about 3 feet long
Here the direct link amzn.to/3gfrtuZ
Where did u get the actual shadow box from?

Beautiful project! May I ask how thick your foam board is?
Its just from the dollar tree. Im not sure. But you can use the 3/4 inch window insulation tape. Works great too
@@CorinneBlackstone TY!
What size box do you typically use?
Depends what I can find I like the 9x9 from Michaels
I have the same question as Caitlin, how did you cut the images from the squares through in Design Space>
It's all just slicing and welding. I'll do a more in depth video soon
Mary, the images are not cut 'from' the squares. They are silhouette images 'welded' to the square frames, apart from the fireworks images which were laid onto a solid square and then 'sliced' out

Measure the inside of the box. Even if it says 8x8 the inside may be quite a bit smaller

Etsy can you resize it to fit whatever size you need?
Yes you can resize files.
So with colored card stock what kind of lights would you use ? Would it even show up? ...ive made 1 colored and lights didnt come threw..
I would only use white lights with colored paper and you need to use thin paper if you are using colors
So how thin would i have to use ...ive been using the 65lbs ..i have colored and wht thats 65lbs
@@colleenhickey2509 it’s going to depend on your colors but truly copy paper thickness is probably best for colored paper
