Hi! My name is Tatiana, I am a graphic designer, 3D studio Elephant brand creator and author of digital templates for cutting machines – Cricut, Silhouette, Brother and others.
I fell in love with paper art in 2020 and since then my hobby has become an exciting job. I carefully design all of my templates so that you don’t have any trouble cutting. Each model comes with step-by-step instructions that will make the assembly process simple and fun.
This is my personal website where you can download my paid and free cut files. I will be happy to receive any feedback from you and will personally answer all your questions.
How to buy, download and open digital templates
You can see all my templates of 3D paper models on the Shop page. To buy the templates you like, add them to your cart. Next, go to the Cart page, apply the coupon if you have one, and click the Checkout button. Here fill in the required fields and choose the payment method convenient for you.
Once your order is paid, you will be redirected to the Download page. If you only had free templates in your cart, you will be redirected to the downloads page right away, bypassing the payment page.
An automatically generated login and password to your personal account will also be sent to your e-mail specified when placing an order so that you can log in and download the purchased files from other devices. If you have not received an email, please check your spam folder. If you have any questions or problems with placing an order, paying or downloading, please contact me, I will respond as quickly as possible.
Templates and instructions are contained in one or a few ZIP files. So first you need to extract them. You can find information on how to open a ZIP file on any device, for example, in this article.
How to use digital templates for 3D paper models
The templates on this website are suitable for both hand cutting and use with cutting machines. Templates for hand cutting are usually PDF files that you can print on a regular printer and cut with scissors or a stationery knife – as you wish. For most paper models, use A4 or US Letter size sheets of paper, set the scale to 100% when printing. For more detailed information on the required materials, please refer to the description of each model.
Please note that my templates do not have a fill, for best results it is recommended to use thick colored paper.
It often happens that ordinary home printers cannot handle thick paper, in which case I recommend printing the template on office paper and transferring it to thick paper, for example in this way.
Let’s take a closer look at the files for cutting machines.
I design files for Cricut, Silhouette and Brother ScanNCut. These machines may have different maximum cutting widths depending on the model, so I provide additional information on compatibility with specific cutting machine models in the description of each template. I always test all templates on my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Silhouette Cameo 4, so I guarantee that if you have a sharp enough cutting blade, the result will be excellent.
For Cricut machines, I provide SVG files.
For Silhouette cutting machines use DXF files, for Brother ScanNCut machines use FCM files.
