Ice Shards
Ice Shards is a deco text template with 3 outline layers, 3-color gradient, extruded 3D depth, texture, tapered strokes - for stickers, T-shirt transfers, party signs and logos. Type your name or any words and get the same lettering, then export a cut file for Cricut or Silhouette, an SVG, or print-ready PDF.
Use this styleWhere this one works
Ice Shards is built for video thumbnails, launch announcements and giveaway graphics that have to read at thumbnail size. The extruded depth lifts it off whatever it sits on. Strong colours and clear outlines stay readable from a distance. Because the words stay editable, it is quick to run off a set with different names on each one — the usual reason a design gets made twenty times.

- medium, extruded to the lower right
- Surface texture
- texture, faint
- Letterform changes
- noticeably rounded, swollen letters, tapered stroke ends
Tips for using it
- The thinnest outline is about 1.3% of the letter height. Thin strokes tear easily when cut from vinyl, so scale the whole design up if you plan to cut it small.
- Gradients and gloss come through as-is in print (PDF or PNG). A cut file is split into flat colour layers, so the colour count decides how much assembly work it is.
- The extruded faces export as their own colour, so plan for one more layer when cutting.
What you can export
- PDF — print-ready, letters stay as shapes
- SVG — vector, sharp at any size
- PNG — social media and quick prints
- Cut file — SVG split into flat colour layers
