Papercut European Houses & Trees
Create a Christmas Scene
These papercut European houses are perfect for your winter village scene or Christmas display. Using white cardstock also gives them that pristine snow-covered look. Depending on how many houses you want to make, you can keep your Christmas scene small — or have it scale across your mantel with a fresh or faux garland.

Once you’ve assembled your papercut European houses, you can add LED tea light candles to give your Christmas scene a warm and cozy glow. For the trees, just slide them together and place them around your houses. Then add little felted wool snowballs to complete the look! For more holiday styling ideas, check out our video tutorial.
When you’re done with your holiday display, share it with us by tagging #MadeWithLia on Instagram or Facebook. And if you have any questions about using SVG files or how to score your paper, make sure to read this blog post. Happy crafting!

Hi! The photos for the luminaries appear to show 5-6 house styles. However, the PDF file only has 3 styles. Where can find additional styles if there are any? Thanks.
Yes. These are the three added versions. You can find a link at the top of the post for the other set.
Help! The knife is tearing the paper with the detail work. I set the pressure to last but it did not help
Not sure if you’re using a knife blade, but just use a regular blade for this, the cleaner the better! Depending on the paper you’re using, you can also try a different lighter setting (such as copy paper).
For some reason when I click on the svg file, it doesn’t open on my iPad. Nothing happens but a white screen. The PDF seems to be working but I need the svg version. Other svg files open, so I don’t think it an issue with my iPad. I bought a member just for these files. Please help :).
Welcome!! I’m not as familiar with how Design Space works on an iPad, but our SVG files download as a Zip folder so you may need to unzip it first.
Hi I really want to do it but I don’t have a craft knife so what should I di
You can use scissors, it just might be a bit trickier to cut out the tiny details.
Hi, I love them, but I am having some issues because I have the silhouette basic program and doesn t accept svg nor pdf anda when I convert the image the quality isnt good and cant cut it…:(
Hi Carolina,
To upload SVG files to silhouette studio you must have the designer edition. We would recommend contacting silhouette customer care for other options.
