My First Christmas with Star SVG

About this design

This version speaks in the baby’s voice: “My First” on the first line and “Christmas” on the second, set in a bold, cheerful script with a large gold star centered above, like the star on top of a tree. The bold letters make it easy to read in photos, even from across the room.

The design has ten pieces and five small holes. The bold script stays sturdy at small sizes, and it passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Lettering in green as the base, including the star outline
• Star in gold on top

Projects

• First Christmas bodysuit for the photo by the tree.
• Keepsake ornament with the year below.
• Bib for Christmas dinner.
• Nursery wall sign for the season.
• Gift bag for a new baby’s present.
• Memory box lid for first-Christmas keepsakes.

Size and cutting tips

For bodysuits, 4 to 4.5 inches wide fits the flat chest area. The star is a single bold shape, so it holds up well at small sizes. For a standard 3.5-inch ball ornament, print the design at 3 inches on clear sticker paper and cut it out with Print Then Cut; vinyl cuts need 4 inches or more.

Step by step: keepsake memory box

1. Choose a wooden or kraft box about 10 inches wide.
2. Set the design to 7 inches wide and download the color SVG.
3. Cut the lettering from green permanent vinyl and the star from gold glitter.
4. Apply the lettering to the lid, then add the star.
5. Add the baby’s name and the year below in your own font.
6. Fill the box with the first Christmas outfit, cards and photos.

Font note

The script is an open-licensed font converted to shapes, so it cuts the same on any machine without installing the font.

Color ideas

• Red lettering with a gold star on white
• Navy lettering with a silver star for a winter boy
• Gold lettering with a white star on a dark green bodysuit

Variations to try

• Add a scalloped circle background in the editor for an ornament.
• Mirror the design only for iron-on vinyl; leave it as is for ornaments.

Good to know

Babies grow quickly between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you make the bodysuit early, choose a size up so it still fits on Christmas Day.

Pairs well with

The Baby’s First Christmas Script offers the classic wording, and the My First Christmas Tree adds a tree.
