A canyon is a landscape made of layers – stacked bands of rock that make a flat sheet look like it has depth. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.

What’s Inside
- Canyon · With Banner — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Canyon · With Banner. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. Horizontal bands step inward from both sides, each one slightly narrower than the one below. The bands are the whole effect; keep their spacing uneven and the rock looks natural, keep it even and it looks like a staircase. A ribbon banner crosses the design, leaving room to letter a name, a date or a short greeting by hand.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Travel-themed rooms, geography displays, earthy interiors and wide window panels.
