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.
Materials

1/16" White acrylic for the top layer. We recommend a very thin top layer (1/16").
1/8" Metallic Hot Pink acrylic, or a color of your choice, for the bottom layer.
Sheet adhesive. We used 3M 468MP, but 467MP or 300LSE also work.

Font Recommendations
From Cuttle's free fonts, we like using Berkshire Swash, Courgette, or Pacifico for this project.
If you'd like to really recreate the vintage look, check out fonts like Absolute Blonde or Dollie Script. To use these, you'll need to download the fonts, purchase an appropriate license, and then upload the fonts to Cuttle. Learn more about uploading your own fonts to Cuttle.
