Gift with Candy Cane SVG

About this design

This present comes with a sweet treat. The box is shown at an angle, so you can see two sides and the top, and in the layered version, one side shows gold and the other green, which makes it look three-dimensional. A big ribbon bow sits on top, its tails running down the corner, and a striped candy cane is hooked over the top left, as if tucked under the ribbon.

The gift is one connected piece with sixteen cut-outs. The bow and candy cane stripes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. The candy cane stripes are the finest parts, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 6 inches or more.

Step by step: candy cane gift tag

1. Set the gift to 4 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from red cardstock instead of green.
3. Cut the backing from white cardstock, so the candy cane looks red and white.
4. Glue the layers together and punch a hole by the bow.
5. Tie it to a present with a real mini candy cane.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Red with white for a candy cane look
• Blue with silver for a winter gift
• Pink with white for a sweet shop look

Design notes

The angled view gives the box real depth. The two sides in different colors act like light and shadow, so the gift looks solid and real.

Good to know

Because one whole side of the box is a cut-out, the backing color shapes the look of the gift. A white backing with a red design gives you a candy cane-striped present; gold with green looks rich and festive.

Making it a set

Pair this gift with other angled boxes from the collection, such as the Polka Dot Gift, to make a pile of presents with a consistent three-dimensional look.

Choosing a size

At 4 to 5 inches, it fits tags and cards. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits shirts and bags. At 12 inches and up, it works on signs.

Variations to try

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