Reindeer Snow Globe SVG

About this design

Shake it and watch the snow fall. This snow globe has a round glass outline and a classic curved base, and inside it, a reindeer stag stands tall with its antlers raised. In the layered version, the inside of the globe is gold, so the dark silhouette of the reindeer glows against a warm background, like a winter scene lit by candlelight.

The reindeer, the globe rim and the base are all one connected piece, with four cut-outs that open up the inside of the globe. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. The globe rim is thin, so for felt or glitter cardstock choose 6 inches or more. For a shaker card, 4.5 to 5 inches tall fits a 5 by 7 inch card.

Step by step: snow globe shaker card

1. Set the globe to 4.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut it from brown or gold cardstock, plus a matching circle of clear acetate slightly larger than the globe opening.
3. Glue the acetate behind the globe opening.
4. Build a frame of foam tape around the back of the acetate, add a spoonful of white glitter or mini sequins, and seal it with a cardstock panel.
5. Mount it on a folded card; the snow moves when you shake it.

Color ideas

• Brown with gold, the classic
• Navy with silver for a winter night
• White with pale blue for a frosty globe
• Red with gold for a festive keepsake

Good to know

Because the reindeer is joined to the base, the inside of the globe opens up as one large window. That makes it perfect for shaker cards and for backing with patterned paper: try a starry paper, a snowfall pattern or a soft gradient behind the reindeer.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add a name across the base in your software.

Pairs well with

The Reindeer and Full Moon is another glowing scene, and the Standing Reindeer is the stag on its own.
