Reindeer with Stars SVG

About this design

This reindeer has been flying so high that it caught a few stars. It leaps through the air with its front legs reaching forward and its back legs stretched out behind, and the tips of its branching antlers end in tiny stars. Part of one antler floats just above, like a sprig of stars trailing behind it. It is a simple silhouette with a magical, storybook touch.

The design is three pieces with no cut-outs: the reindeer and two small antler pieces. The body is bold and smooth, so it passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, the same outline, hidden underneath
• Design in reindeer brown

With no cut-outs, this design is usually cut in a single color. Gold or silver glitter makes the stars sparkle.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide. The tiny stars are the smallest parts, so for felt or glitter cardstock choose 6 inches or more. For pajamas, 7 to 9 inches wide.

Step by step: starry night card

1. Set the reindeer to 4.5 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Cut it from gold glitter cardstock.
3. Glue it to a 4 by 6 inch panel of navy cardstock, angled upward.
4. Add a few silver star stickers around it.
5. Mount the panel on a folded white card and write your greeting inside.

Color ideas

• Brown, the classic
• Gold glitter on navy for a night sky
• Silver on dark blue for a frosty flight
• White on red for a bold, festive shirt

Design notes

The stars sit right at the antler tips, so they lead the eye upward. Place the reindeer low on a card or shirt, with open space above, and the stars seem to be rising into the sky.

Good to know

The two small antler pieces are separate from the body, so keep them on the transfer tape when you weed. If you prefer a single piece, delete them after ungrouping; the reindeer still has stars on its main antlers.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor so it leaps the other way.
