   Hi! I downloaded the template but my Silhouette Studio software says the file isn’t supported. It could be user error – I’m still fairly new to using cut files – but everything else that I’ve downloaded from your site has been successful, so I’m not sure what’s going on here. Do you have any thoughts on this error message?

   Thanks so much!

      I just tested the file on my Cricut and it seems to be okay there. I am not as familiar with Silhouette, but we have a full class and workbook that Kelly made for using our SVG files. Check it out here: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-silhouette-cameo/

         Thank you! I’ve actually taken that class – it’s fantastic! – but had forgotten to extract the zipped file. For other zipped files, double clicking worked, but this one required the “extract” step. In any case, I’ve got my file and am excited to make some of these paper lanterns. Thanks, again!

   How do I make these? Are there instructions for my Maker 3? I’m new to this.. I’ve forgotten how this works. Is there a video instruction?

      Hi Diana! These are a basic cut where you can use your fine point blade. So you can use the Maker 3, yes. We have a full skill course on using the Maker that you might enjoyable. This lessons shows how to cut the cardstock. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/a-crafters-guide-to-the-cricut-maker/lessons/3-cutting-scoring-cardstock/
