Instructions
Cutting Out the Layered Beach Ball
- Unzip the download file.
- Then open up Design Space and start a new project.
- Click
- find where you saved the unzipped version of the downloaded files for this project.
Then go into the SVG Folder and select the SVG Files - Select all and change it to the size you want to cut out
- Then click on the Make It button
- The prepare screen will appear
- Now if everything looks correct on it, click on the continue button
The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the red cardstock, I used was Medium Weight on, you will need to select "Medium Weight Cardstock".
Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
