Stack of Three Gifts SVG

About this design

Why give one present when you can give three? This design stacks three gift boxes like the tiers of a cake, with the biggest at the bottom and the smallest on top. A bow with looping ends sits on the highest box, and thin ribbon lines run down the middle of the stack. The stepped shape makes it feel generous and festive.

The stack is one connected piece with seven cut-outs. The boxes are bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from just 2.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2.5 inches tall. The ribbon lines are thin, so for felt choose 4 inches or more. For a shirt, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: three-color layered card

1. Set the stack to 4.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut the whole stack three times, from red, green and white cardstock.
3. Keep the bottom box from the red copy, the middle from the green and the top from the white.
4. Glue the three boxes onto a card in their stacked positions.
5. Add a gold ribbon line down the middle with a paint pen.

Color ideas

• Green with gold ribbons, the classic
• Red, green and white boxes for a colorful stack
• Pastel boxes for a sweet look
• Gold boxes with white ribbons for an elegant card

Design notes

The boxes step in evenly from bottom to top, which gives the stack a strong, stable shape. It looks especially good centered on a card or shirt, with text underneath.

Good to know

Because the boxes are stacked in clear tiers, they are easy to give different colors. Cut the design several times and trim each copy to keep one box, then layer them for a colorful pile of presents.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it suits tags and stickers. At 4 to 5 inches, it fits cards. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts, bags and signs.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add a name on the bottom box in your software.
