Bell and Candle SVG

About this design

This design is a little Christmas still life. A bell with a bow and a flowing ribbon stands at the back, and in front of it, a red pillar candle with a small flame burns beside a short candle holder. Holly leaves with red veins gather at the base, tying the scene together. It feels warm, peaceful and cozy, like a mantel on Christmas Eve.

The design is two pieces with sixteen cut-outs. The holly leaves and candle details are well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall. The holly veins are thin, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 7 inches or more.

Step by step: peaceful card

1. Set the design to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold foil cardstock and the backing from red.
3. Cut the design again from green cardstock and keep only the holly leaves.
4. Glue the red backing, then the gold layer, then the green holly on top.
5. Write “Peace on Earth” inside.

Color ideas

• Gold with red, the classic
• Gold with green holly
• Silver with blue for a winter evening
• Gold with white for a church program

Design notes

The bell stands behind and the candle in front, which gives the scene depth. The holly at the base grounds everything, like greenery on a mantel.

Good to know

The candle is a cut-out, so the backing color becomes the candle color. Red is traditional, white is calm and peaceful, and gold makes the whole scene glow.

Choosing a size

At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards and ornaments. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits signs and programs. At 12 inches and up, it works on walls.

Pairing with text

“Silent night,” “Peace on Earth” or a family name sits nicely below the holly.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to put the candle on the other side.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Holly Candle is another candle design, and the Tower Bell suits church projects.
