Birthday Panda SVG

About this design

This panda has a present and is not letting go. It sits square to the front with its legs spread wide, peach pads on both feet, and its arms wrapped around a mint gift box. The box has a butter-yellow lid, a coral ribbon down the middle and a coral bow with two loops on top.

The panda’s markings come straight from the backing layer: the round ears, the slanted eye patches, the arms and the legs are all in deep cocoa brown, with small cream shines in each eye. The cream face has a little nose and a curved smile.

Of all the animals in this collection, the panda can be cut the smallest, which makes it a handy pick for tags and stickers.

Pieces and weeding

In the solid cut there are 23 pieces and 8 cut-outs. The box, lid, ribbon, foot pads, eye shines and body are separate pieces, so transfer tape keeps vinyl in line and a backing card holds paper. Weed the eye shines and face details first. It passes our cut checks from about 2 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in cocoa brown: the backing, which also forms the ears, eye patches, arms and legs
• Mint in soft mint green: the gift box
• Peach in pale peach: the foot pads
• Butter in butter yellow: the box lid
• Cream in warm cream: the head, body and the shines in the eyes
• Coral in coral pink: the ribbon and bow

Ideas

• Gift tags at 2 to 3 inches, cut in one color.
• A birthday shirt with the panda in layered iron-on.
• Thank-you cards that show the panda holding the gift.
• Party favor boxes with the panda on the lid.
• Classroom treat labels, printed and cut in a sheet.

One-color cuts

The solid version turns the whole panda into one silhouette, with thin gaps tracing the ears, eye rings, arms, legs and the gift. Cut it in black vinyl on a light shirt and the gaps let the fabric show through as fine lines, so the panda still reads clearly at small sizes.

Changing colors

Swap the cocoa brown for black for a more true-to-life panda, or set the gift to the party’s colors. The guide to changing SVG colors explains how.

Pairs well with

The Birthday Koala is another round-faced bear-like friend, and the Birthday Giraffe also comes with a gift box.
