Sparkling Gift SVG

About this design

This gift is glowing. A square box with a lid has a big bow on top, and fine rays of light shine out from the bow in every direction. Small four-point stars sparkle on both sides of the box. In the layered version, the rays and most of the stars show gold, so the whole gift seems to shine.

The gift is one connected piece with eleven cut-outs. The rays are fine but well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, which becomes the rays and stars
• Design in green, the box and bow

Magical projects

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. The rays are thin, so for felt choose 4 inches or more. For a shirt, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: glittering card

1. Set the gift to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the green layer from green cardstock.
3. Cut the backing from gold glitter cardstock, so the rays and stars sparkle.
4. Glue the layers together and onto a navy card.
5. Add a few extra star stickers around it.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Navy with silver for a starry night
• Red with gold glitter
• White with gold

Design notes

The rays shine out from the bow, which draws the eye right to the top of the gift. The stars on the sides balance the design and add extra sparkle.

Good to know

Glitter cardstock or glitter iron-on vinyl makes the rays and stars truly sparkle. Because they are cut-outs, a glitter backing shows through them while the box stays a solid color.

Making it a scene

Place this gift under a tree from the Christmas tree collection, or beside other gifts, as the special one that everyone wants to open first.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits stickers. At 4 to 5 inches, it fits cards and tags. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and signs.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add more stars around it in your software.
