Feliz Navidad Seal SVG

About this design

A Christmas seal for Spanish-speaking families and friends. FELIZ NAVIDAD curves across the top in friendly, bold capitals with soft, rounded serifs, and PRÓSPERO AÑO NUEVO, a prosperous new year, runs along the bottom in clean geometric capitals with its accents in place. In the center is a poinsettia, the flower that Mexico gave to Christmas: six petals around a cluster of small gold dots, with six green leaves peeking out between them.

The leaves sit behind the petals with a thin cut line between them, so each petal keeps its outline even in a one-color cut.

Color layers

• Backing in red: a solid disc to the outer ring
• Design in cream: the rings, lettering and poinsettia petals
• Accents in gold: the flower center and the two small stars between the lines
• Details in green: the poinsettia leaves

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 41 pieces and 10 cut-outs. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide. The accent marks over the Ó and Ñ are their own small pieces, so transfer the whole design with one sheet of tape to keep them in place.

Projects

• Posada and party decorations, such as banners and table signs.
• Gift bags for tamales or pan dulce.
• Family shirts for a Nochebuena dinner.
• Ornaments cut from felt or wood.
• Christmas cards for relatives in Spanish-speaking countries.

Step by step: a Nochebuena table sign

1. Paint a 10 inch wood round red and let it dry.
2. Set the design to 9.5 inches and download the color file.
3. Cut the design layer from cream vinyl, the leaves from green and the center from gold.
4. Apply the cream layer first, then the green leaves between the petals and the gold dots in the middle.
5. Stand the round on a small easel in the middle of the table.

About the lettering

Both styles of capitals are free, open-licensed fonts, converted to shapes so the accented letters cut correctly with no font installed. The poinsettia and rings were drawn for this seal.

Pairs well with

The Holly and Berry Wreath frames a door around it, and Joyeux Noël is the French greeting in a similar spirit.
