Multi-Colored Vinyl Layered Designs

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Lynn_K

Multi-colored vinyl layered designs are easily made with the use of registration marks. With either the use of KNK Studio software or Make The Cut software planning is easy. This Eagle decal was designed in Make the Cut software and cut on the 15″ KNK Maxx Air.

Materials used were:

Clear High Performance AccuPro Vinyl for the base layer
Five colors of Gemstone Metallics Vinyl for the eagle & lettering
Clear Transfer Tape

Cutting specifics: Red capped blade with a vinyl setting, 1 pass, and 25 post-it notes for setting blade height.

The following picture is a preview of the step-by-step directions that are included at the end of this post in PDF format. Also included are the eagle files for you to give layering vinyl a try yourself.

The finished design measures 4.875″ tall by 5″ wide.

I always tell myself that I hate vinyl, but then I have to see something like this and start wondering WHY I think that. Your project is inspiring and beautiful. Thanks!
