You will then be directed to where the file is hosted on Google Drive. From there, you can download it (click the down arrow icon in the upper right-hand corner) and save it to your computer.
If you are on a tablet or mobile device, you may need an app that can unzip files. If you are having any other issues, I suggest trying a different web browser (Google Chrome usually works best).
Otherwise, you can check out this article for more information, and step-by-step tips.
Note: Commercial licenses for cut file templates only cover “finished products” and does not allow you to sell them as digital files, or as part of a digital download.
Please Note: Commercial licenses for my templates are sold individually, per design.
I’d like to keep offering my designs for free, so PLEASE be courteous. If you have any questions about how you can/cannot use my designs, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Paper Cutting

If you are using the free version of Silhouette’s software, you will need to convert the SVG file to a simple format first (JPEG, GIF, or PNG). You can do this with an online file converter tool like ZamZar and follow the prompts they give you. Just locate and upload the SVG file, choose the file type you want to convert it to, enter your email address, and hit “convert.” The file will then be sent to you via email where you can then upload it to Silhouette Studio.
Note: This workaround is intended for 2D cut file designs with limited colors, but is not recommended for my 3D cut file projects! If you’d like to make use of my 3D designs as a Silhouette user, I strongly suggest upgrading your software.
Now, though, I do typically include a version that incorporates score lines in my 3D files! If you have a cutting machine that does not support this, or don’t have access to scoring tools for your machine, I also make sure to include a file without score lines.
Maybe one day I’ll go back and add a score line version to each of my paper lantern downloads…one day. For now, if you need any instruction on assembling my paper lanterns or need to know where to make your folds, be sure to check out this video.
