Was a bit difficult to cut, make sure you have a new blade or a very sharp blade for intricate cuts, finished product is absolutely stunning. I can’t stop looking at it. I actually used a frame that I got from a box store, it was an 8 x 10 shadowbox, for a more sturdier presentation as a gift. I love it. I can’t say enough good things about this design

This design is totally awesome, bought new blade, before I cut it out. Cut well, went together well. I love it!! Thank you!

I spent a day figuring out the cut settings on my Silhouette. It did require a very sharp blade, but I mastered it and am so glad I did. This shadow box is mesmerizing. I love that it comes with its own frame and it goes together beautifully. I hope there are more shadow boxes coming from this site. Do you have a Nativity Scene in the works?

Hello Sharon, So happy to hear you enjoyed the project! I am currently working on more designs. I do not have a nativity scene in the works yet but will be designing way more Christmas projects and that may be another on the list to design as well. Thank You and Happy Crafting! Stephanie
