Cricut BrightPad Light Box Mint

Product Information

Got more questions? I’d love to help! Leave a reply here or ask over on my Cricut Crafters & Makers group! If you make one of these shadow boxes, I’d love to see it! Please share your paper cut light box tutorial results in my Cricut Crafters & Makers group where you’ll find hundreds of thousands of crafters like you, sharing their tips, projects, and inspiration. Cut out a square of 7.5 inch by 7.5 inch for a 8×8 inch shadow box, then use an x-acto knife, utility knife, or true control knife to cut thin strips of the right length. (I go through this in the step by step directions below and the YouTube video!). Place them in front of you face down with the four side pieces surrounding the center piece. The long tabs on the side pieces should face inward and none of the short tabs should overlap each other. Tip: My Cricut BrightPad Go had a charge when I first took it out of the box, so I was able to start immediately!! Does the Cricut BrightPad have to be plugged in?

Look for images that are mostly solid with some areas of cutouts for interest. Silhouettes that are all one piece work great and are easy to drop in to your light box layers. And since we want to add a shape to our layer instead of cut it out of a solid section, there must be a solid outline around the edge to keep the details together. First, turn on your lights to make sure they work. You might have to remove a battery protector tab first. Great question! I don’t know. I do know that the older Cricut BrightPad came in multiple colors — mine is pink, and there is also a mint one. So… maybe one day? Can I see the Cricut BrightPad in action?If you'd prefer to use a pre-made shadow box, just skip the steps related to the DIY frame. The designs are sized for the 8.5" x 11" shadow box frame in my materials list. Will you be diamond painting a large canvas? Tracing directly into your sketchbook? Prepping intricate needlecraft patterns?Also, decide if you want your device to be portable — the smaller it is, the more convenient it will be to carry. The Artography light pad is a popular option due to its excellent illumination and is especially sought-after by sketchers and illustrators. However, other lightboxes may suit your specific needs if you need to work at larger sizes, want to save space on your desk, or if you have a tighter (or larger) budget, so, in the guide above, we've included a range of options, each with its own selling points. How much does a lightbox cost? Now Available — Get the Cricut BrightPad Go at the Cricut Shop or get the Cricut BrightPad at Target!

If you design your own shadow box, we all want to see it! Please share your photo in our Facebook group or tag me on social media with #jennifermaker . You can even earn two bonus entries for my 25-Day Gift-Away giveaway if you upload a photo of your version of this project by December 25th. You can cut a custom shadow box with a good craft knife, but it’s tedious and it requires you having some drawing skill. So instead, I’m going to show you how to design and cut a custom shadow box design with a Cricut cutting machine. And to do that, we need to use Cricut Design Space, where we’ll design our custom shadow box together, step by step.
