Fresh Cut Christmas Trees Truck SVG

About this design

The tree farm sign every farmhouse loves. A vintage pickup hauls its tree over two lines of lettering: FRESH CUT in bold, rounded capitals and Christmas Trees in a vintage script.

It is a classic design for porch signs, kitchen boards and anything with a rustic, country feel.

What you are cutting

With 22 pieces and 14 cut-outs, there is plenty here to weed. Most of the pieces are letters: the capitals and the script are each cut as individual shapes, with the insides of letters such as the R and the e left open. On top of that, the pickup has its window, door and tailgate openings. Transfer it all in one go on a single sheet. It is cutting-ready from about 7 inches wide, a little smaller than the Merry Christmas Truck.

Making it look weathered

This is drawn to look like a real roadside tree farm sign. After the vinyl is on, run fine sandpaper lightly along the board’s edges and corners to wear the paint back, which gives it the faded look of a sign that has stood out by a barn for years.

Two kinds of lettering

The capitals are bold and quick to weed. The script line takes more patience, so work along it slowly from left to right. Keep both lines on one transfer sheet so the gap between them stays even. On a big sign you can cut stencil vinyl instead and paint the words, which looks even more like an old hand-painted farm board. The color file has 5 layers you can recolor in the editor on this page.

Pairs well with

The Christmas Truck with Two Trees suits a tree farm too, and the Vintage Christmas Truck has no lettering.
