Holly Candle SVG

About this design

This design glows with quiet Christmas warmth. A tall pillar candle stands upright, drawn with a fine outline and a small flame on top, and around its base, a ring of spiky holly leaves and berries spreads out like a table centerpiece. The leaves have red veins in the layered version, and the simple candle above them gives the design a calm, peaceful feel.

The design is five pieces with twelve cut-outs. The candle is drawn in thin outline, which is why the design carries a “Print & web” label on its page. It is best printed, or cut from about 7.5 inches tall and larger.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For cutting, start at about 7.5 inches tall; the candle outline is thin, so use a fresh blade and smooth vinyl. Avoid felt and glitter materials.

Step by step: peaceful greeting card

1. Download the PNG from the editor at 300 DPI and 5 inches tall.
2. Place it on a 5 by 7 inch card in your design software.
3. Add “Peace on Earth” or “Silent Night” below it.
4. Print on cream cardstock.
5. Add a touch of gold glitter glue to the flame.

Good to know

If you need a holly design that cuts cleanly at small sizes, the Minimal Holly passes our checks from about 4 inches. This candle is the one to choose for printing and large cuts.

Design notes

The candle is drawn as an outline rather than a solid shape, which keeps it light and lets the flame stand out. When printed, you can fill the candle with any color in your software.

Variations to try

• Recolor the flame gold or orange in your printing software.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a Print Then Cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Holly and Bell is another classic pairing, and the Holly Wreath with Bow completes a peaceful set.
