Gnome Holding a Heart SVG

About this design

A gnome with a big heart. Both mittened hands come round to the front and hold a large heart against the beard, and the tall hat leans to one side as if the gnome is tilting its head.

It is a warm, friendly design for anyone you love, from a partner to a favorite teacher, and it carries on into February for Valentine’s Day.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 13 pieces and no cut-outs. The heart sits in front of the arms and beard, outlined by a thin cut line, so it can be cut in its own color. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

• Red heart with a green gnome
• Red with a gold heart, as shown

Swap the heart

The heart is a separate piece in front of the gnome, so you can cut it in any color or pattern, or replace it with a small photo for a personal card.

Good to know

The heart sits right in the middle of the design, so it is a good place for a name or initials. Add a short word inside the heart in your software, sized to leave a small gap around the letters, and cut it as a cut-out or as a separate color on top. For a class set of Valentine’s cards, print the color file with Print Then Cut and write each child’s name on the heart.

Pairs well with

The Gnome Heart Ornament is heart-shaped, and the Gnome Couple shares a heart between two gnomes.
