Santa Footprint Stencil main image

Christmas is a magical time of year, and one of its most exciting aspects for kids is when Santa comes to visit. For many, it is the highlight of the holiday season. But what if there was a way to make the experience even more magical? With a cutting machine, you can make an exact replica of Santa's footprints for your kids to find and experience the wonder of Christmas. This Free cutting machine Santa Footprint gives you the ability to create a life-like footprint, making it look like Santa has actually been in your home.

This project is a great beginner project for those who have just started on the ScanNCut journey!

Detailed instructions:

  1. Download the .svg file and save it onto a USB to plug it directly into your cutting machine.
  2. Place the scrapbooking card on your machine mat. Use masking tape to hold the cardstock firmly in place if needed.Card on mat
  3. Load the mat into your machine.
  4. Load the SantaFootprint.svg. (If you have a Brother ScanNCut do a quick scan of your mat to make sure the design is positioned correctly on top of the cardstock).
  5. Adjust your machine settings to allow for the cardstock thickness. (The SDX range of Brother ScanNCut will do this automatically if you if you have enabled this setting)
    Tip: We suggest doing a test cut to ensure you have your settings correct for the medium you are using. Cutting a small hole in the corner of your mat is a lot less upsetting than cutting a large design straight through your mat.
  6. Proceed with cutting the design.
  7. Once the machine has finished cutting your design, unload the mat from the machine and gently remove the cut cardstock. You will now have a template of a single boot.
    Tip: You can either cut out 2 boots or use one and simply flip it over to create a right foot.

  8. Place the template on floor in your desired location (we suggest in front of a fireplace or near the Christmas tree) and gently sprinkle flour/icing sugar/baby powder or similar substance to fill in the cut out sections. Take extra care not to spill over the edge of the card otherwise you will be left with an outline. icing sugar
  9. Repeat Step 9 until you have created a trail of foot prints as desired. icing sugar santa footprint
