3D Layered Mandala style alphabet from Special Heart Studio

A few weeks ago I created my first layered mandala design after seeing all the beautiful creations that people were posting in different Facebook craft groups. With all the “extra” time that I was spending at home, I thought it would be fun to make one myself. I did and now I’m hooked. As soon as I made that first one, I had it in my head that I wanted to do them in letters. So many hours longer then I thought it would take, I’ve finally created my mandala alphabet set. I pray these bring you joy and something to do while stuck at home. I personally plan to make one for my daughter’s bedroom. I’d love to see what you do with these designs. Post a photo in my Facebook group and let me know. ❤️

I don’t mind if you use these designs for personal or small business commercial use up to 200 items, but please do not re-sell or re-distribute the files. I’d ask that you direct your crafty friends here to download the files themselves.  Also, I don’t allow my designs to be used in print-on-demand shops or on transfers that will be sold. Click HERE for complete Terms of Service.

3D layered mandala letter C with floral elements in shades of pink cardstock
Mandala C put together with spacers.

Each of the SVG/DXF letter files has six layers. Feel free to play around and possibly leave some of the layers out of your creation. I think projects would look beautiful with just a few of the layers. Or maybe skip every other layer.

Click the photo box below if you’d like to join my FREE SVG Group. In the group, we have both Cricut and Silhouette crafters that are happy to help if you’re stuck on a project and have questions. We’d love to see your creations and I post FREE designs and fonts from trusted, reliable sources.

Brightly colored cardstock with letter G cut in a 3D floral mandala style pattern
No spacers were used on the G. Each layer was glued with a school glue stick.
  • 65 lb Cardstock – On the pink C in the photos, I used Recollections Brand Cardstock Pink Buttons multipack along with Recollections Shimmer White
  • Foam tabs
  • Spray Glue – The top layer is very thin, so using a spray glue to adhere works best.
  • Brayer – This handheld tool is key to correctly getting the paper on the mat to reduce paper ripping while cutting.
  • Light grip mat (blue light grip)
  • Cricut Maker – or your favorite cutting machine.
  • Design #44 – Floral Layered Alphabet Mandala AND Layered Punctuation – My free SVG/DXF cut files (available in my freebie vault —get the password at the bottom of this post).

  38. Thank you so much for sharing. I am so excited to use these. Have you ever or do you already have a video on how to make a 3-d mandala. Not necessarily the letters but just a basic 3-d mandala shape. I have looked and looked for a video and can’t find one.

    Thanks again. These are AMAZING!!!

  73. Just want to say thank you for sharing so many wonderful files! I know u work so hard at making them and takes a long time to make them. So thank you!!! And I was also wondering how I can’t make the alphabet mandalas like u did but with hibiscus flowers? That’s my favorite flower and would love to have some alphabet mandala with it but I have tried over and over and nothing seems to look right so just want to see if u had any input on how to make them with hibiscus flowers?

  75. I fell in love with this project the minute I saw it. I made one for my daughter for Christmas. I am a complete newbie and you made this so easy. I am trying to find a font to use similar to the one you put on the glass of your Shadowbox with E for Ellie. I have been searching around and feeling overwhelmed. Would you be able to guide me to this font or make a suggestion.

    Reply

    1. The Ellie on the glass was done in Limon Script Bold. It’s a higher-priced font, but does usually go on sale in November. There’s really nothing similar to it that I’m aware of. So happy you found my website. ❤️

  82. I just got the email about this Mandala alphabet, etc, file, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve spent the last 15 minutes going around in circles. Has it been taken down? Do I have to watch all the videos to get the files? They are beautiful, and I’m new to Cricut and looking for something to start with, that’s a little cheaper than vinyl. I already have some cardstock. Need to get the spacers.

    Thanks!

  84. I love your designs. I have made several and plan to do even more. On this design, you show in a frame with the name in
    cursive. Can you tell me what font you used and if it is on the inside or outside of the glass?

    Reply

    1. Hi Dale,
      That script is one of my favorites. It’s called Limon Script (Bold version). I have it on the outside of the frame as the vinyl is a sparkle/glitter adhesive that was only on one side.

    1. Good afternoon,
      I’m happy to help troubleshoot. Could you tell me what happens? I just need a bit more detail to help troubleshoot. Are you on a computer? If yes, Windows or Mac? On a mobile device? What operating system?

      Reply

  116. Hi, I love your mandala letters and have tried to use them in various occasions, however, after I unzzip the file and open the unzipped letter to DS, it comes out as one letter with no separate layers. What do I have to do to see all the layers? TIA

    Reply

    1. Hello. In order to see all of the layers, the SVG format will need to be uploaded to cutting machine software. On screen, it will appear it’s a fiat file without software that can “read” layers.

      Reply

  117. Hello Gjoa,
    Thanks again for sharing your wonderful designs. I am making one of the letter mandalas to put in a shadowbox frame and was wondering if I could put the vinyl name on the inside of the glass instead of the outside? I’ve never tried this and don’t know if it would look wrong or not. Do you have any thoughts? Thanks again.

    Reply

    1. Hi Kelci,
      For the ones that I’ve framed with the name on the glass, I placed it on the outside. Only because, all 3 that I’ve made this way, I used a glitter vinyl (you can’t really tell in the photos) the vinyl was silver on the back side, and not the white glitter that was the front. Either way really works as long as the adhesive side of the vinyl looks the same as the front.
