Layered SVG files provide users with a unique and creative way to design and create custom designs using their cutting machines. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to turn a multi-layered SVG ladybug into a 3D project using your Cricut or Silhouette machine. This project is perfect for those who want to take their layered SVG designs to the next level and create a unique, three-dimensional piece of art.
Required Supplies:
- Cricut or Silhouette machine
- Ladybug SVG
- Cardstock or paper
