Christmas Elf Cut Files for Cricut and Silhouette
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love sharing SVG and sublimation designs I make for myself (and others). After years of crafting with my Cricut machines, however, I’ve learned not all designs are created equally.
Fully layered SVG files allow the most variability for you, the crafter, and that’s what I recommend for those new to cutting machines or seasoned veterans. Keep reading for my top picks.

My Favorite Blanks for These Christmas Elf SVG Files
It can be hard to find quality blanks, so here are a few I have used and recommend. Psst: if you’re doing sublimation, please, please, please make sure they are sub blanks to save yourself frustration!
- tumblers – Friends, everyone needs a
wine tumblerwater bottle… - t-shirts – If you can find them, raglan t-shirts are awesome because it’s ALWAYS the sleeves that get dirty. The colored sleeves mask that!
- small keychains – These also double as package tags (just saying, that’s handy). :)
- drool bibs – Listen, they’re adorable and all but these things keep the goop off your shirt. LOL
Ways to Use These Elf Cut Files
Sometimes I get stuck on gift ideas for people in my life. If that’s you, check out a few of the past projects I’ve made and people loved.
- I joked above, but I can name quite a few people who could use a Shorty-Mc-Shorty wine tumbler… With a straw. :)
- Bodysuits are a great idea for anyone with a 2 or under in the house.
- Coffee mugs are awesome if you know someone who loves a hot cup of java or tea.
- Did you know you can customize ribbon with heat transfer vinyl? Oh yeah – some of these vertical designs would look absolutely adorable on a large ribbon on a package.
The Best Elf SVG Designs
Friends, the holiday crafting season is upon us and I'm so excited to put together this fun list of the best elf SVG designs for crafts, decor, and gifts.
The elf details on this Santa's Favorite Teacher SVG are so sweet (and can be used for other projects)!
Do you do "The Elf on the Shelf?" Isn't this little kit adorable?! Think of all the cute little scenarios you can set up for the elf and the kids.
This has been downloaded like CRAZY so people must like it. And shhh, don't tell the other Christmas SVG files, but this one is my favorite of the season. :)
The entire fam is represented in this elf set and it's popular for a reason: it's so stinkin' adorable and perfect for Christmas pajamas, family holiday shirts (or Christmas reunion shirts), and even little ornaments.
I cracked up. Can you just imagine someone coming to a holiday party wearing this?!?
When I came up with this sign, my daughter immediately grabbed my phone and said, "Okay!" So I think this elf cut file set is a hit.
Okay, this is adorable and I can see principals, teachers, para educators, and support staff at the school ALL in this!
With two styles to choose from, you can whip up shirts for the cousins in no time. I love kids in matching clothing (if you couldn't tell).
I love that this designer did something a bit different and chose to make a fun elf countdown to Christmas. And I'm also a sucker for snowflakes...
If you like the vintage look, this world famous snowball SVG design has that style in two different shapes (vertical rectangle and square). It's great for a snowball bucket, tiered tray signs, and even just a sweet little ornament.
Asking for a friend (who also happens to be just 5'2" tall): do you think an adult can wear this elf sized SVG on a t-shirt? Hahaha
This elf SVG has been downloaded so many times and I've seen some really adorable ways it's been used. The best one is on a dog sweatshirt with the guiltiest looking pooch I've ever seen.
Oh dear, isn't this the cutest? Honestly, this is one of my favorite Christmas elf SVG designs that could go on ANYTHING for ANYONE.
