Customer Lynn Oldfield recently shared her stunning take<\/a> on our\u00a0Balsam Manor<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0project in the SVGcuts Facebook Group<\/a>, and it\u2019s been a hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added lights, placed a Christmas tree in the conservatory, and wrapped it with even more lights. Her post shows off the creativity that makes this design our most popular Christmas project of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Lynn's photos sparked plenty of excitement, with many users asking how a project like this could be made out of paper. One commenter, Nina, mentioned she had just purchased the file but wasn\u2019t sure how to upload it to Cricut Design Space. I thought it would be useful to provide a step-by-step guide that anyone can follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a Cricut user like Nina, you\u2019ll also want to decide between using solid score lines<\/strong> or dashed cut lines<\/strong> for folding your project. The great thing about Balsam Manor is that you have both options available in the download. If you\u2019re using a scoring tool or scoring wheel (as Nina prefers), solid score lines may save you time. But if you\u2019re cutting with just a blade, the default dashed lines work wonderfully too, and can be easier to fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s walk through how to upload your files and get started on this magical holiday project! We will be working with the solid score lines today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Unzip the Files<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Once you\u2019ve downloaded the Balsam Manor design files, you\u2019ll need to unzip (extract) them before using them in Cricut Design Space. Don\u2019t worry\u2014no additional software is needed! Both Windows and Mac computers have built-in tools to unzip files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
