Layered Cut File
The top piece should be cut from your front material. Apply 3M adhesive to the back of this material before cutting.
The bottom piece should be cut and scored from your backing material.
The score lines (blue) serve as a guide for glueing the top piece. They are slightly inset (by the contract amount) so that they'll be completely covered once you've glued the top piece.

Before cutting, apply the 3M adhesive to the back side of the top layer (e.g. the White acrylic).
Cut the top layer and the bottom layer. The blue part should be scored on the bottom layer.
Use the score as a reference to glue the top piece to the bottom piece.
