Peace on Earth Joy Seal SVG

About this design

Peace on earth and good will to all are among the oldest Christmas wishes, and they fit naturally around a circle. This seal has a scalloped edge, like a paper doily or a lace trim, with a thin ring inside it. PEACE ON EARTH curves across the top and GOOD WILL TO ALL along the bottom in rounded geometric capitals. The center holds one word, Joy, in a heavy retro script with fat, bouncy curves, flanked by two gold sparkles.

It reads as a gentle, hopeful message, which makes it a good choice for church bazaars, charity drives and cards for people of every background. The words echo the angels’ message to the shepherds in the Gospel of Luke, which is why they appear on so many Christmas cards.

Color layers

• Backing in green: a solid scalloped disc
• Design in cream: the scalloped edge, rings, lettering and the word Joy
• Accents in gold: the sparkles and the two small stars between the lines

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 35 pieces, most of them individual capitals, and 14 cut-outs. Many of the cut-outs are the small openings inside letters such as A, O and R. The design passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide, and the round capitals weed cleanly at that size.

Projects

• Charity drive signs and donation jars.
• Church bazaar tote bags with iron-on vinyl.
• Christmas cards with the seal on the front and a short message inside.
• Round wall signs for an entryway.
• Stickers to seal envelopes, printed and cut.

Step by step: a donation jar label

1. Measure the jar and set the design about an inch narrower than the flat area.
2. Download the solid style and cut it from white or gold permanent vinyl.
3. Weed the inside of each capital with a hook tool.
4. Wipe the jar with rubbing alcohol so the vinyl sticks well.
5. Apply with transfer tape, smoothing from the center to the edges to avoid bubbles on the curve.

Color ideas

• Cream and gold on green, as shown
• Navy and silver for a calm, wintry version
• White on deep red for a classic card

About the lettering

The capitals and the script are free, open-licensed fonts, already converted to shapes. The scalloped edge and sparkles were drawn for this seal.
