Holly and Bell SVG

About this design

Two Christmas favorites meet in this design. A classic bell with a flared rim and a round clapper hangs below a sprig of holly, with spiky leaves and a cluster of round berries on top. A ribbon curls out to one side, and a highlight stripe on the bell and a line along its rim show red in the layered version, giving the bell a shiny, polished look.

The design is eleven pieces with two cut-outs. Many of the pieces are the small holly leaves and berries on top, which sit separately above the bell. The bell itself is big and bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The holly pieces on top are small, so keep them on the transfer tape when you weed. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: gold bell with green holly

1. Set the design to 5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut the whole design from gold glitter cardstock.
3. Cut it again from green cardstock and keep only the holly leaves, and from red for the berries.
4. Glue the gold bell to a card, then layer the green leaves and red berries on top.
5. Add a real ribbon curl if you like.

Design notes

The ribbon curls out to the side, which gives the design a little movement and balance. Without it, the bell would sit perfectly straight; with it, the bell looks like it is ringing.

Good to know

The bell looks best in a metallic color, such as gold or silver. Because the holly is made of separate pieces, it is easy to cut the bell in gold and the holly in green, then layer them for a classic three-color design.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to curl the ribbon the other way.
• Use the editor’s offset border to join everything into one die-cut sticker.
