3D Layered Gingerbread Man SVG Christmas Paper Cut File

Make a cheerful 3D layered gingerbread man for your holiday crafts. This cut file has 6 separate layers, each cut from its own cardstock color. Stack the layers with foam tape for a dimensional, shadow-box look.

The gingerbread man wears a Santa hat with a fluffy trim and pompom and a red bow tie. He has gumdrop buttons, rosy cheeks, a white icing smile and icing squiggles on his arms and legs, and he holds a striped candy cane. His eyes are cut out of the cookie layer so the dark backing shows through. He works well for shadow boxes, framed wall décor, Christmas cards, gift tags, scrapbook pages and holiday baking displays.

What's included:

• 1 combined SVG file with all 6 layers kept separate as named groups
• 6 individual SVG files, one per layer, all on the same canvas so they line up when stacked
• PNG preview of the finished design
• Layer guide image showing the stacking order and suggested colors
• Assembly notes

Layers, bottom to top:

1. Backing
2. Gingerbread cookie
3. Icing and candy cane
4. Santa hat, bow tie, cheeks, middle button and cane stripes
5. Gumdrop buttons
6. Hat trim and pompom

Design details:

• Default size 7.99 × 10 in, and the design scales proportionally. A height of 8 in or more is recommended for the cleanest cuts on the icing and cane stripes.
• All shapes are closed, filled paths with no strokes, ready for cutting machines.
• Works with Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio (Designer Edition or higher for SVG), and other software that imports SVG.

Tip: Resize all layers together so they stay aligned. Add 1–2 mm foam squares between layers for depth, and glue the small pieces (icing squiggles, cane stripes) flat.
