Valentine sausage dogs layered paper shadow box template.
These amorous sausage dogs are the perfect kitsch decoration to adorn your home for Valentine’s Day. The dachshunds have dressed up in their finery for their Valentines date.
This shadow box is designed to have micro LED lights at the back so they shine through the hearts to give a warm fuzzy feeling. Although as the photos show, it looks equally as good without the lights.

I have included two copies (left and right) each of the hair bow and bowtie so that it's equally as easy to make this for a same-sex couple. Of course you could choose not to 'dress' the dogs at all.

Once complete, this shadow box could be given to your own Valentine to show them how much you care. Or you could make it as a wedding or engagement gift for a quirky, daxie-loving couple!

The materials you will need to complete this project, in addition to these templates are:

A rectangular shadow box frame
Various coloured papers/card for the shadow box layers
Foam board or corrugated card to create the spacers
Micro LED ‘fairy’ lights (optional)
Glue

There are files that can be used with a cutting machine such as a Cricut or Silhouette or you can download and print the handcutting files and cut with a craft knife/scalpel.
There are handcutting templates (PDF) to create an 8” x 6” version or a 10.5” x 8” version of the shadow box.

All the machine cutting files (SVG, DXF, EPS) can be resized in your cutting software if needed.

*Please note the SVG files will only work in the desktop version of CanvasWorkspace (Scan N Cut software), they will not work in the web/online version as it has more limited capabilities than the desktop version.

I am unable to give any advice on your particular machine or software. Though please see my FAQ section for solving common issues with SVG and DXF files: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/seasaltandsamphire#faq

If you use Cricut Design Space as your cutting software then please use the SVG file (or PNG Files) and not the DXF files. I cannot get consistent results with layered DXF files in Design Space.

If you use Silhouette Studio Basic Edition then you will need to use the DXF file (or PNG files) as Basic Edition does not support SVG. If you have Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or higher then I highly recommend using the SVG file as it will just make life a lot easier!

SVG files should in most cases unzip/open fine on your computer. Sometimes however it defaults to wanting to open in your internet browser instead of your cutting software - it may even show up as a Chrome/ IE/Firefox etc. icon on your desktop.
The file will still work, however rather than double-clicking the file to automatically open your software, you will need to open Design Space or Silhouette Studio (or other software) first and then upload/import/open the file by navigating to where it is saved on your computer.

The reason for this issue is that SVG format was originally created as a way of displaying vectors on the internet so it will often default to this association.

When opening DXF files in Silhouette Studio you must make sure that your settings are set to open this file type ‘Centred’ (or ‘As is’) otherwise it will default to opening to fit the document you currently have on your screen.

To do this go to Edit > Preferences… Click on the ‘Import’ icon, and under DXF select ‘Centred’ from the dropdown next to ‘Open’. Save the settings. Now you can open your DXF file and it should open the correct size on your mat.

If you wish to resize your layered DXF, you must do this first by selecting everything and resizing in one go, otherwise some of the elements may be the wrong size.

Be aware that the colour of a particular layer may not necessarily be the exact colour intended for the final layer. DXF files require a different colour cutting line for each separate layer. This means that if two or more layers are intended to be the same colour in the final paper cut, they will have to be different colours in the DXF file. Cutting software can also not read white layers in a DXF file, so usually these will appear as grey or black.

Unfortunately the Silhouette Software imports DXF cutting lines ‘ungrouped’, even when I have grouped them in my design software when creating the files.
Once you have opened your DXF file you will need to make sure the elements on each coloured layer are grouped before you can move them around ready for cutting. 
To do this go to Edit > Select by color. Under ‘by line’ you should see the different colours of each layer. Click on a colour (it will select all the elements of that colour) and go to Object > Group.
Unfortunately you will have to do this with each colour in the list. Once you have you will be able to move each layer around separately without fear of the design breaking up.

This turned out better than I expected! This was my first layers shadow box… anything like this. The Box I got I had to change the image a little to make it smaller. I had a lip inside the box that didn’t fit exactly 8x8. I re cut and everything turned out ok. This is a gift for my sister I law for Christmas.I put way more time into that I thought I would. But love it!

Response from Lindsey Hills
