Paw prints that stay in one piece

A paw print is five separate pads, which is awkward to cut and place. In this set the paws are cut out of something solid instead: a round badge, the side of a carrier, the front of a bag or the label of a bottle. You weed five small pads and the design lifts as one piece. On the paw print with a plaster at 100 mm across the toes are about 17 mm wide, so it works down to about 35 mm. The paw on the carrier is the smallest, with toes about 4 mm wide at 100 mm, so keep the carrier at 80 mm or more.

The dog in a cone is drawn with a clear ring about 2.5 mm wide between the head and the cone. That ring is what makes the picture read, so do not cut it below about 60 mm tall, where the ring closes up in thick vinyl.

For a clinic, a vet tech or a get well card

Nothing here uses a cross or the staff and serpent, so the designs are free of protected emblems, and nothing carries wording, so you can add a clinic name, a pet’s name or the letters after a name yourself. The vet and the vet tech are full figures with fine cut lines for a shirt front or a tote. The silhouette stands on a straight strip for a shadow box, and the collar tag takes initials in its open middle.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
