Birthday Fox SVG

The design

A fox makes a lovely woodland birthday guest. This one sits tall with its paws together, its huge tail curling up behind it on the left, tipped in cream with a zigzag edge. The coat is coral, with a cream bib on the chest, cream inside the pointed ears and a cream face that splits into two wide cheeks below the eyes.

Beside the fox sits a small birthday cake: butter yellow with cream icing dripping over the top, a lilac plate underneath and a single sky-blue candle with a yellow flame. It is just the right size to read as a one-candle first birthday cake or a little treat for any age.

Pieces and weeding

Cut solid, the fox is 19 pieces with 3 cut-outs. The tail tip, chest, legs, ears, face and the cake parts are separate, so use transfer tape for vinyl or a backing card for paper. The candle is narrow; cut it slowly. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in cocoa brown: the backing and the outlines
• Lilac in soft lavender: the cake plate
• Butter in butter yellow: the cake and the candle flame
• Sky in pale sky blue: the candle
• Cream in warm cream: the tail tip, chest, inner ears, face and the icing
• Coral in coral pink: the fox’s head, ears, body, legs and tail

Size guide

For favor stickers smaller than 3 inches, print the full color file and cut the outline with Print Then Cut.

Layering tips

The tail sits behind everything, so glue it first, then its cream tip. Add the body, chest and front legs next, then the ears and the head. The face piece goes on top of the head, so the cheeks frame the eyes. Build the cake separately on the side and slide it into place at the end.

Recolor it

An arctic fox in white and sky blue looks crisp and cool, and a silver fox in gray and cream looks smart on a grown-up card. Our guide to changing SVG colors shows how to preview it.
