Pile of Gifts SVG

About this design

This is the pile under the tree on Christmas morning. Several wrapped presents of different shapes and sizes are stacked and leaning against each other, each with its own bow or ribbon. Some sit upright, some tilt at an angle, and a few gold details show in the layered version, so the pile looks full and exciting.

The design is three pieces with ten cut-outs. Fine gaps outline each box so they read as separate gifts. The shapes are bold overall, so it passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, which shows in a few bows and ribbons
• Design in green, the gifts

Christmas morning projects

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall. The gaps between the boxes are thin, so use a fresh blade. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

2. Cut the green layer from green cardstock and the backing from gold.
3. Glue the layers together and onto a white card.
4. Add “Gift Exchange” and the party details beside the pile.
5. Mail it in a red envelope.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Red, green and gold by cutting extra copies
• White gifts with silver on navy
• Pastel gifts for a sweet look

Design notes

The gifts lean at different angles, which makes the pile look real and a little playful, as if they were just set down. The outlines between boxes keep each gift easy to see.

Good to know

For a colorful pile, cut the design a few times in different colors and trim each copy to keep a different box, then layer them. Red, green, gold and white make a classic Christmas mix.

Making it a scene

Place the pile at the bottom of a card or sign, under a tree from the Christmas tree collection, for a complete Christmas morning scene.

Choosing a size

At 3.5 to 4 inches, it fits tags and small cards. At 5 to 6 inches, it suits cards and invitations. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and wall decals.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the pile.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
