Handmade with Love Christmas Tag SVG

Who this one is for

Jam makers, knitters, candle pourers and anyone else whose gifts took a weekend. The tag tells people that before the wrapping comes off: HANDMADE across the upper half of a kraft-brown circle, WITH LOVE across the lower half, and one fat red heart between them. A thin line circles the tag just inside its edge, split into four arcs by short gaps at the top, bottom and sides, which leave the rim attached to the middle of the circle.

The honest size limit

Sixteen letters take a lot of cutting, and this is the largest minimum in the set. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide, and the very small openings inside the two As are the tightest spots. A 5-inch circle suits a gift basket or a big jar lid, but it is far too large for a bar of soap. For anything smaller, print the color file on cardstock and use Print Then Cut, so only the circle gets cut and the letters stay crisp at 2 or 3 inches.

Pieces and weeding

There are 18 pieces and 14 cut-outs in the solid file. That counts the tag, the heart and 16 letters. Four channels are carved from the circle: one around HANDMADE, one around the heart, and one each around WITH and LOVE. The inner line adds four arcs, the string hole makes nine, and the remaining five are the centers of two Ds, two As and the O. Every letter is loose after cutting, so lift them with transfer tape or fix them to a backing card.

Layers and colors

• Base and lines in a deeper kraft brown: a solid backing behind the whole tag
• Tag in kraft tan: the circle
• Accents in bright red: the heart
• Lettering in near-black: HANDMADE and WITH LOVE

The kraft color runs right up to each letter, so the words stay crisp and dark, and the backing shows only in the thin line near the edge.

Craft fair bundles

Tags like this do a lot of quiet work on a market table. Thread one onto each jar, soap stack or folded scarf and the whole display looks as if it belongs together.

• Print a full sheet of 3-inch tags and cut them in one session
• Punch a second hole on the opposite edge and tie a price on the back
• Keep a spare stack by the cash box for gifts bought on the day

Read the license before you sell anything made with the file.

Materials

Real kraft card is the obvious choice, and it spares you the tan layer altogether. Twine in natural jute matches it, or red-and-white baker’s twine echoes the heart. Stamp or write the maker’s name on the blank back.

How wide to go

Pairs well with

The Kraft Paper Christmas Tag uses the same brown card and has write-on lines, and the Christmas gift SVG collection has labels for the rest of the table.
