Need to paste an image onto an unorthadox shaped template - mikey boy - 03-08-2024

Hi Guys & Gals,

I am struggling to figure out how to do something and can't seem to find the appropriate tutorial.

I have a template for a playing card box and i want to paste an image onto the shape of the box (imagine a card box unfolded out - its not got a shape i can refer to).

Is there a tutorial anyone can recommend, i know i can add layer masks, but its the shape of the template that throws me once these are added. I need the excess of the image removed, leaving just the shape of the template, ready for it to go to print.

Any help would be appreciated as it is for a gift.

I have added the template i am using in svg format.

I figured it out, select area and paste into selection.
