Reindeer Heart SVG

About this design

Love is in the air this Christmas. Two reindeer heads lean together, cheek to cheek, and their outline forms a heart: the ears and cheeks make the two round lobes, and the muzzles meet at the point below. Above, their branching antlers rise and meet in the middle, like a crown over the heart. It is a romantic, symmetrical design that is perfect for couples and anniversaries in the holiday season.

The design is one connected piece with no cut-outs; a narrow gap runs down the middle where the two faces meet. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, the same outline, hidden underneath

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide. For an ornament, 3.5 to 4 inches. For a pillow, 12 to 14 inches. The antler tips are the narrowest parts, so for felt choose 6 inches or more.

Step by step: couple’s name sign

1. Set the design to 10 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Type both names and your wedding date in your software.
3. Cut the reindeer from brown or black adhesive vinyl and the text from gold.
4. Apply the reindeer to a whitewashed board, centered near the top.
5. Apply the names underneath and the date below them.

Design notes

The heart is the outline of the two heads together, so it reads clearly even in a single color and from across a room. The narrow gap between the faces shows the surface behind, which adds a fine line of contrast down the middle of the heart.

Good to know

Because the design is one solid piece with a heart built in, it is a great choice for laser-cut wood and acrylic. It also works well as a stencil, with no small pieces to lose.

Variations to try

• Add a small red heart above the muzzles in your software for a pop of color.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
