Grab the Free SVG

Cricut Design Space

For the following steps, I’ll be using Cricut Design Space.

If you use Silhouette Studio or a different design software, your steps may be different than mine.

To start, upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space and add it to your Canvas.

The file creates a 5-inch ornament but can be resized for more sizes.

Before cutting the file, I need to make a few changes.

When designing outside of Cricut Design Space, there is no way to identify lines as cut, score, or draw. So, these assignments need to be made once the design is brought in.

Highlight the entire design and Ungroup.

The lines inside each snowflake must be changed to score lines instead of cut lines.

In the layers panel, highlight the lines of a snowflake and change their operation to score. When the line is a score line, it will change to a dashed line.

Highlight the lines and snowflakes that go together and attach.

Change the lines to draw for the smallest snowflake, then attach the two layers together.

I want my snowflake cut out of two different colors of paper. The easiest way to differentiate that in CDS is to change the color of two of the snowflakes.

If the different snowflakes were numbered, they would start with one being the smallest and 4 being the largest.

Highlight snowflake one and snowflake three and change the material color.
