DIY Scalloped Egg Cut File – Silhouette Studio Tutorial

Spring is in the air, and it’s the perfect time to add some Easter cheer to your crafting! In today’s project. Today we’re creating a DIY Scalloped Egg Cut File using Silhouette Studio and my Silhouette Cameo 4. This layered design features a scalloped edge egg base, a solid egg layer, and an adorable bunny cutout on top—perfect for cards, banners, an Easter basket tag, or Easter decor.

What You’ll Need for the Scalloped Egg Cut File

• Silhouette Cameo or Portrait
• Silhouette Studio software (I have the Business Edition)
• Silhouette Cutting Mat
• Cardstock in your favorite Easter colors (great scrap buster)
• Adhesive (tape runner, glue, and/or foam tape for dimension)
• Optional: embellishments like ribbon, gems, or glitter
• Silhouette Cutting Mat
• A bunny image. (I used Silhouette Store Images as well as one of my own)

You can find another bunny image HERE on the blog.

Key Skills Learned in This Tutorial

• Point Editing to create and egg shape
• Object on a path to create the scalloped egg
• Using the subtract property in the modify panel

Project Layers Explained

1. Scalloped Edge Egg (Bottom Layer): This layer gives the piece a cute, decorative frame. You can cut it in a soft pastel or even patterned paper.
2. Solid Egg (Middle Layer): Cut slightly smaller to nest inside the scallop. This layer gives a clean background for the top element.
3. Bunny Cutout (Top Layer): The star of the show! I placed this little bunny silhouette right in the center of the egg.

I designed this entire cut file from scratch in Silhouette Studio, and I walk through exactly how I made each layer in the video.

Why You’ll Love This Project

This is a great beginner-friendly design project if you’re learning Silhouette Studio. It’s a fun way to practice object on a path while creating the scalloped egg. It also gives a lot of flexibility—change the bunny, add a name, or use glitter cardstock for extra sparkle!
