Halloween lantern tutorial
This is a tutorial on the Halloween lantern cutting file
http://www.etsy.com/listing/469948374
This file includes a JPG, PNG, STUDIO3, SVG, EPS and DXF file.
Also read this blogpost "What file to use for which software", and take a look at the second table "Best files to open".
If you want to add vellum on the inside, cut and glue this first. In stead of vellum I sometimes use greaseproof paper.
Fold all folding lines and glue the sides.
When the glue is dry follow these steps to close the bottom:
Never use real candles or fire!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

When the glue is dry follow these steps to close the bottom:
Fold this part down
Put the points inside
And put the last part in
Close the bats by sliding them into each other
After closing all 4, first hold the loops together and fold the 2 other parts over the loops.
And your lantern is ready!
Never use real candles or fire!

How to import a SVG file in Cricut Design Space
If you buy a file in my Etsy shop, you will get a JPG PNG DXF EPS and SVG file.
If you use Cricut Design Space, the best file to use is the SVG file because this is a layered file and you will be able to cut in parts.

Extra information on the mermaid cutting file
This tutorial is made for the mermaid file: http://www.etsy.com/listing/399021941
Open the image in your favorite cutting software.
Recolor the image if you wish or use my image. Recoloring has no use for cutting but will be an example of what your image will look like and will help you to cut by color.
I always work with a copy of a file, so you won't lose any data
The image will be cut in parts, so you have to puzzle them back again once they are cut. Use the original image on your screen to see where you have to put the parts.
I am not able to download Cricut DS, so I can't help you with this software. Although I think it will work almost the same as described for the other software.
Silhouette Studio (studio3 file)
The black silhouette is used for the background, depending on what background you will use you can decide if you will need it. If you don't want to use it, put it to the side or delete it.
Right click and degroup the mermaid file to recolor.
You can select and sort the parts by color holding the SHIFT key. I group (right click and select group) the parts of one color and put them to the side, go to the next color and so on.
Now you can cut by color. Remember that everything on the mat will be cut so keep everthing you want to cut later outside the mat.
Inkscape (SVG)
Click on the colored image and move a little bit. Decide if you want to use the black silhouette, if not click and delete.
Click the colored file, right click and ungroup. Recolor if you wish.
You can select and sort the parts by color holding the SHIFT key. I group (right click and select group) the parts of one color and put them to the side, go to the next color and so on.
Now you can cut by color.
Sure Cuts a Lot (SVG and EPS)
Right click on the image and degroup. Go to the layers pallet and click the arrow. Search for the black silhouette background and click it.
Go to the image, the black silhouette is selected so you can move it to the side. Decide if you want to use the black silhouette, if not click and delete.
Go to the colored file and recolor if you wish.

Now you can cut by color. Remember that everything on the mat will be cut so keep everthing you want to cut later, outside the mat.
For all programs, this is what it will look like if you sorted parts by color.
And this is what a finished file looks like. Of course you can choose any color you want and make lots of different lovely mermaids!

Why are JPG and PNG files black and white
If you make an order at my Etsy shop, you are able to download a ZIP file after payment.
In this file are JPG and PNG files in black and white/transparent and some people asked why.
Because I make cutting files, I made the JPG and PNG files black and white because these files are better to trace.
Do you want them colored for use as a printable or anything else? Please contact me and I will make the colors you want!

Using SVG and EPS files in more than one color
Some extra information on my layered SVG and EPS files:
Depending on the software you use, you sometimes need to degroup before you can cut in more than one color.
In most software you can choose this option (degroup) if you right click on the selected image.
Now you can move parts to cut by color.
Do you want a file in one color, leave it as it is.
If you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to contact me!

Silhouette Studio tutorial - butterflies
Hi and welcome to my first tutorial!
If you miss a step, just let me know.
If you have any questions, you can contact me on the right side of this page.
This tutorial is made for this file http://etsy.me/1ppZs76
But works the same for other layered files.
Put the purple one to the side and center the pink one to the page.
After that you will see this.
Keep all parts selected and go to the fill color window to make the image transparent. Keep the lines colored, the best color is black.
Hold your shift key and click with your mouse on the parts you want to cut in the same color.
Start with all the inside parts.
Filling has no effect on cutting, it is just to sort the colors for cutting.
Then fill the outside. Don't worry, all the other colors are still there.
Move the green part to the side and go back to the inside colors.
If you are happy with the result, hold the shift key and select all parts with the same color.
