There are many similar files here.

Perhaps you can find one that will work for you. Maybe modify it to suit your needs.

You asked for help with some mud flaps about a week ago, but we never heard back from you. Were you able to use the file I provided?
What design software, if any, are you familiar with or attempting to learn? Many here use Inkscape - free to download and use.

For the snow machine you asked about - if you are just looking for a basic outline then you could open the one provided above with Paint.net, adjust to black and white and change the contrast to achieve something like this.

Then save as jpeg and import to Inkscape.

Then "Path, Trace Bitmap" to convert to vector format.

Let us know if you have any specific questions about doing this. Be sure to show us your attempt so we can help you along as needed.

You are quite welcome! Let us know how you make out when you get around to actually cutting it. Perhaps post some photos of your finished part.
