This is probably everyone's least favorite part, but once you do this one time and save the file to your projects, you'll be able to cut one of these babies out quickly and on demand!

Start a new project in DS and click import. Select your .SVG and add it to the project. Save your project.

If you made your .SVG in Adobe Illustrator like me, every part will be collected under one group. Select this and click "Ungroup". Now each part that should be on one piece of cardstock or paper is in a group of its own, for six major groups. Within each of these groups, there are parts for cutting and separate groups for scoring, and sometimes additional cuts and drawing. Right now, everything will be set to the default, cut.

For each major group, find the group underneath that should be scores, and set to "score". You can usually see which part of your design is the score, but if you remember from the last step, I set up different colors within Illustrator to designate different line types. The lines will not show up in color on the canvas the same way they would in illustrator. As you can see in my image, when you select the lines, it will show their fill as the red I selected for scoring. Since none of the score lines consist of shapes that would show a fill, you cannot see this color by just looking at the canvas. On the other hand, some of the letters do have filled areas, where you see the green.

Set the appropriate groups to the drawing line type. Make the drawing groups the same black pen except on the dark cardstock pieces. There I selected a grey color, but I will load a metallic silver pen in the machine.

In this example, I sliced the cut outs for the moon and the switch slot. This is completely unnecessary (attach will work just fine here), but I liked seeing it how it should look in the final project. If you do this, just delete the unneeded slice results as shown in the photo and make sure to put the item back into the applicable group or at least attach them.

Attach each major group and set the colors to group by material. I did white for white 65 lb cardstock, black for black 65 lb cardstock, and powder blue for copy paper (the two layers closest to the LEDs in my design are copy paper to diffuse the lights).

Now hit "Make It" and follow the prompts on the machine, then continue to the next step for final assembly!

Optional step for personalization: after the back of the card is cut out, make a DS project with a writing font of what you want to say on the card. Then set the machine up to draw this on the back part of the card (not the side with the tab guide). I used labels on mine instead, so I could give them to friends who wanted to gift them.
