How to Setup Print and Cut in Silhouette Studio

After they're downloaded and unzipped open Silhouette Studio and go to File > Open and import the cards into a work area.

I would not suggest you size them as they are sized perfectly for a rolled up dollar to fit inside a money holder dome.

Open the Page SetUp Panel and change the Page Size the "Printer" and click "M" to turn on the registration marks for print and cut. You should be able to fit two of the money holder card templates on a single sheet after rotating them 90 degrees.

Move to the Send panel and change the material to Cardstock Textured. Confirm the cut line is going around the outside of the card design and the small hole at the top of the card only.

How to Print from Silhouette Studio

Place a piece of 80 lb cardstock in your printer and either click the Print icon on the top toolbar or go to File > Print to have your design printed on your printer.

Once printed place the printed sheet on a cutting mat and load into your Silhouette machine. From the Silhouette Studio Send panel, send to cut.

How to Prevent Paper from Curling When Removing from Cutting Mat

Weed away the excess paper and then flip the cutting mat over to peel it away from the paper rather than the other way around. This will help prevent your paper cards from curling as they would if you peeled them up off the mat.

How to Make DIY Money Holder Cards at Home

Now take one of the money holder domes and one of the double-sided adhesive strips that comes with the domes and assemble by putting the strip on the plastic dome first.

You can roll up a dollar bill into the dome before adhering to the card.

Instead of a dollar, candy like "smarties" will also fit into the money holder cards and domes.

That's it!! These come out so cute.
