Text Cut Studio

Fancy layered lettering for Cricut, from a name on a card to a 12 × 24 in wall sign. Mix fonts, stack lines into blocks, arch words, add drop shadows and inline grooves, set it all on a plaque, and export every layer as a Cricut-ready SVG.

TTF, OTF, WOFF and SVG fonts work, or a whole folder of letter SVGs (A.svg, B.svg, a_lower.svg …). Fonts you uploaded to Layer Cut Studio show up here too.

Same-width block stretches every line to the full width, like a quote sign. Join bar runs a strip along the bottom of each line so loose letters cut as one piece, or stand up as a shelf sitter. Negative letter spacing makes letters touch. Arc radius bends the words: positive arches up, negative smiles. Thicken beefs up thin scripts so they cut and weld.

A guide only, nothing here is cut. It shows where a printed vinyl panel (a photo, logo or artwork) will sit, so you can fit the lettering round it. Print Then Cut stops at 171 × 235 mm, so bigger prints get trimmed by hand.

Resizes the spacer layers (card stacks, foam pads, foam tape) to reach the target. Card layers stay as they are.

250–300 gsm card is roughly 0.3 mm. Foam pads give the same lift as a stack of black card for a fraction of the card. Pads are placed where they fit under the layer above, so thin letters may need smaller pads.

Layer stack, top to bottom

Offset grows (+) or shrinks (−) the outline. A pop layer shows as a stripe when its offset is bigger than the layers either side.

Spacers

Switches every spacer layer at once and keeps the same lift.

Letter holes

Rings carry each outline and pop into the holes of a, e, o and so on. The back stays solid.

SVG layout

#	Layer	Cut as	Size	Pieces	Files

In Design Space choose Upload, pick the SVG, and each layer arrives as its own colour with its layer name. The Cut sheets view shows how the pieces fill your mats, one colour per mat.
Card stacks are already duplicated, so ten black spacers come in as ten pieces on the black mat.
For a layer with a photo, download its PNG and upload it as Print Then Cut (max 171 × 235 mm). Hide or delete that layer's plain cut from the SVG.
Inline layers cut as an outer ring plus inner pieces. Glue the ring first, then drop the inner pieces into place so the groove shows evenly.
Glue up bottom to top: back, foam pads (or spacer cards, or a run of foam tape), pop layer, then the face layers. The Exploded view shows where each pad goes.
