Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to bitcoins I have tried to figure it out on my own. I was Given 7 bitcoins on a actual paper bill. My problem is, I can't figure out how to transfer the bitcoins which are on a tangible paper bill into my wallet on blockchain. There is a private key and a public address written on the bill. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can explain to me how to make the transfer. Thank you so much.

you log in at blockchain, you press inport/export you copy your secret key in the second box (Import private key) you press add private key and voila!

For those who learn better with images . . .

Log in to your wallet.

When you see this screen:



Click on the "Import/Export"

Then click on the "I Understand" button when you see this:



Add your private key in the text box labeled "Private Key" here:



Then click the "Add Private Key" button.

Another approach is with a mobile to go to EasyWallet.org and use one-touch to scan and redeem the paper wallet.  Then when that transaction confirms you can send the coins to your blockchain.info wallet.   Just be careful to bookmark and save a copy of the EasyWallet URL for the wallet that they provide to you as that is the only way to access your wallet if for some reason you lost your phone between when you scanned the private key and when you later go to spend the funds.
