The files in this kit are SVG so you will need a cutting machine that can handle those type of files. There are two different templates included a plain one with scalloped edges and the other has scalloped edges with holes around the edges(see the kit photo). Assembly instructions are in the kit. You can use this template for your own designs but please put my name in the credits and do not sell the template itself. Archways are included for birthday, Mother's Day and Father's Day as well as blank ones for your own messages so it can be used for many different occasions. A template you can cut with scissors instead of a cutting machine is available , it is cup214266_173
