Snowman and Christmas Tree SVG

About this design

A little winter scene: a snowman stands proudly beside a small Christmas tree, as if it had decorated it all by itself. The snowman wears a top hat and a scarf, with a carrot nose pointing toward the tree and two round buttons. The tree has layered, slightly ragged branches like a real fir, a star on top and a few round ornaments hanging from its boughs.

It works as a complete picture on its own, which makes it ideal for cards, signs and framed prints.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 7 pieces and 4 cut-outs, mostly the star and the ornaments cut out of the tree. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide. Weed the tree’s ornaments first while the vinyl is flat.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows in the tree’s star and ornaments
• Design in pale ice blue: the snowman and the tree

For a festive version, set the backing to red so the ornaments and star show red.

Projects

• Christmas cards with a winter scene on the front.
• Framed prints for a mantel.
• Porch signs on stained wood.
• Tote bags with iron-on vinyl.
• Advent calendar backgrounds.

Step by step: a framed scene

1. Set the design to 7 inches wide for a 8 by 10 inch frame.
2. Download the color file and cut the backing from red cardstock and the design from white glitter cardstock.
3. Glue the red layer onto navy paper, then the white layer on top.
4. Add a few hand-punched paper snowflakes around the scene.
5. Frame it without glass so the glitter shows.

Size guide

Color ideas

• White with red ornaments on navy
• Ice blue on navy, as shown
• White and gold on deep green for a classic card

Making the scene bigger

For a wider winter scene on a long sign, mirror a second copy so two snowmen stand on either side of their trees, or add a row of snowflakes across the top. Leave at least an inch between copies so each tree’s ornaments stay readable, and cut all the pieces in one go so they share the same scale.

Pairs well with

The Classic Tiered Christmas Tree gives you a bigger tree, and the Snowman with Little Bird is another gentle outdoor scene.
