Hello! I’m Paula from Paula’s Studio. I’m here with a card that I made to hold a gift card for the recipient. 

Supplies used:

Step by Step Cardmaking Guide scaled

1.
Load the SVG file into Silhouette Studio, or other software for your machine. 

2.
Ungroup the design. 

3.
Resize the gift bag to fit in a rectangle of 4.25×5.5 inches. 

4.
A gift card is about 3.375 x 2.125 inches. I make a rectangle of that size and make sure it will fit inside the gift bag on the screen. This way, paper and effort will not be wasted if it is wrong. Remove the rectangle that represents the gift card. It will not be cut.

5.

6.
Duplicate the two pieces and the handle that are for the bag.
