Snowman Gift Tag SVG

About this design

The quickest snowman project in the collection. The shape is a classic gift tag with angled top corners and a round hole for the string, and a little snowman is cut out of the middle: a top hat, a round head, twig arms and a big round body. In one color, the snowman is a window through the tag, so whatever is underneath shows through.

Because it is a single piece with just two openings, it cuts in seconds and weeds almost instantly, so you can make a whole stack for your gifts.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is a single piece with 2 cut-outs, the snowman and the string hole. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches tall, which makes it one of the smallest designs on the site you can cut cleanly.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows as the snowman and inside the string hole
• Design in pale ice blue: the tag

Projects

• Gift tags in cardstock, a whole sheet at a time.
• Jar and bottle tags for homemade treats.
• Stocking name tags with a name on the back.
• Ornaments in wood or acrylic.
• Cupcake toppers on a stick.

Step by step: a batch of layered tags

1. Set the design to 3 inches tall and download the color file.
2. In Design Space, set the quantity to 12 for each layer.
3. Cut the tags from white cardstock and the backing from navy or red cardstock.
4. Glue each white tag onto its colored backing so the snowman shows through.
5. Thread twine through the holes and write names on the back.

Color ideas

• White tag on red backing
• Kraft tag on navy backing for a rustic look
• Ice blue on navy, as shown

Variations to try

• Use mirror cardstock for the backing so the snowman shines.
• Cut the tag from wood veneer for a keepsake ornament.

A tag with a window

Because the snowman is cut out, the tag changes with whatever sits behind it. Try patterned scrapbook paper, glitter cardstock or a scrap of the gift’s own wrapping paper as the backing, so every tag in the pile looks a little different.

Pairs well with

The Blank Gift Tag is a plain tag for writing on, and the Snowman Ornament uses the same cut-out snowman on a bauble.
