Butterflies are one of my favorite Easter metaphors. They are a beautiful reminder of Jesus’ resurrection from the grave. For this month’s free SVG file, I designed a layered Easter cross SVG that is reminiscent of Easter stained glass windows.

HOW TO USE A LAYERED SVG IN CRICUT DESIGN SPACE
I designed this SVG to cut out 8 distinct layers that stack on top of each other — 4 for the cross and 4 for the butterfly. This is how you work with a layered SVG in Cricut Design Space. Once you have cut out the SVG, check out how to assemble this butterfly cross!
Cutting a Layered SVG Design
- Upload the SVG into Design Space and insert it into a new canvas.
- Resize the design to suit your project.
- Recolor the layers of the design to match the paper or vinyl you will be using. This will help keep you more organized and save material.
- If you would like two or more layers to be cut from the same color material, make sure you change those layers’ colors to the same color.
For my design, the topmost cross layer and the topmost butterfly layer will be cut from the same black paper. The purple layers will be cut from the same material as well.
- When you have finished these changes, click Make It!
- Organize your mats to save on materials. Both the purple butterfly and the purple cross layer fit on the same mat, so I didn’t waste paper.
- Chose the correct material, load up your mat, and cut out the SVG.
