Holly Split Frame SVG

About this design

This is a classic split frame with a holly twist. A thick ring forms a circle, and a horizontal band runs across the middle, covered with a small sprig of holly leaves. The band splits the circle into two half-moon spaces, one above and one below, which show red in the layered version and are ready for a first name and a last name, or a name and a year.

The design is two pieces with four cut-outs. The ring and band are bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 2.5 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2.5 inches wide. For ornaments, 3.5 to 4 inches. For door signs, 10 to 14 inches. Choose a bold font for text, sized to fit the half-moon spaces.

Step by step: split name ornament

1. Set the frame to 3.75 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Type a first name for the top space and the year for the bottom in your software.
3. Cut the frame from green vinyl and the text from red or gold.
4. Apply the frame to a white round ornament.
5. Apply the name above the band and the year below it.

Color ideas

• Green with red spaces, the classic
• Green on white with red text
• Gold with green text for an elegant ornament
• White on a red mug

Design notes

The band sits right through the middle of the circle, so the top and bottom spaces are equal. That makes the frame easy to fill evenly, with two lines of text of similar length.

Good to know

You can also cut the text right out of the red spaces. Place your words over the spaces in your software and slice them out, then the surface behind shows through the letters for a clean, one-color look.

Variations to try

• Use only the top space for a name and leave the bottom red.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Holly Ring is a round frame with one big space, and the Holly Banner is made for a single line of text.
