Puppy in a Gift Box SVG

About this design

The best present of all. A happy puppy sits inside a gift box with its paws resting on the edge and its floppy ears framing a sweet face, while a big ribbon bow is tied across the front of the box. It looks as if it has just been unwrapped on Christmas morning. The bow and box edges are drawn as clean cut lines, so it still reads clearly as a present when you cut it in a single color, even on a dark shirt.

It is a perfect design for new puppy announcements, dog lovers’ gifts and children’s Christmas wish lists.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is a single connected piece with 17 cut-outs, mostly the bow, the box edges and the puppy’s face. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. Weed the bow loops first, while the vinyl is still flat on the mat.

A surprise announcement

If you are bringing home a puppy for Christmas, this design makes a lovely reveal: print it on a card and tuck it inside a box with a leash or a toy, so the family opens the news before they meet the puppy. It also suits adoption days at shelters.
