Elf with Gift SVG

About this design

Delivery day at the workshop. This little elf hurries along with a big wrapped present held at its side, the ribbon showing as cream bands across the box. It wears a pointy hat that flops back as it walks, a tunic and a pair of curly-toed shoes, and its face is turned toward you with a grin.

It is a lively, story-telling design, perfect for gift tags, Christmas Eve boxes and anything that comes “from the North Pole”. It is our own original elf character.

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 9 pieces and no enclosed cut-outs; the details are separate small pieces. The thin legs and the small face pieces give it a “Print & web” label, so it is best printed. For a vinyl cut, start at about 5.5 inches tall and keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape.

Color layers

• Backing in cream: shows only where you add a background, since the pieces have no inner cut-outs
• Design in raspberry pink: the elf and the present

To frame it, use the editor’s background shapes to place the elf on a cream rounded square or a gift tag shape.

Projects that suit the detail

• Christmas Eve box labels, printed.
• Gift tags “from Santa’s workshop” with Print Then Cut.
• Sublimation shirts for kids.
• Party invitations for a gift-wrapping night.
• Large decals on a front door.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For a vinyl cut, 5.5 inches is the minimum; at 7 to 9 inches the small face pieces are easy to place.

Step by step: Christmas Eve box labels

1. In the editor, choose the gift tag background shape and set the elf inside it.
2. Download a PNG at 300 DPI, about 4 inches tall.
3. Print on sticker paper and cut with Print Then Cut.
4. Add the child’s name on the tag in your software before printing.
5. Stick it on the lid of a Christmas Eve box filled with pajamas and a book.
