Big Kid Now SVG

About this design

No number, just attitude. Big Kid Now is for the birthday child who has outgrown the baby stuff and wants everyone to know it. Big and Kid are stacked in heavy, rounded red capitals, and a white ring and a royal blue ring wrap both words together into one solid block, the way a team name is stitched on a jacket. Under it, a navy bar holds the word Now in widely spaced white capitals, with a gold star at each end.

Since there is no age on it, the same shirt works for a third birthday, a fifth, or the first day of school. It also makes a good shirt for an older sibling when a new baby arrives.

Color layers

• Base and lines: deep navy, the backing, the outlines and the bar behind Now
• Varsity red: crimson, the words Big and Kid
• Varsity gold: warm golden yellow, the two stars
• Royal blue: vivid cobalt, the outer ring
• White: bright white, the inner ring and the word Now

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 15 pieces and 14 cut-outs. The cut-outs are mostly small enclosed spaces in and around the letters, such as the centers of the B and the D, so weed those first while the sheet lies flat. The word block, the bar and the two stars are separate; use transfer tape or the iron-on carrier to move them together. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Size guide

It holds together down to 2.5 inches, so a small vinyl version is a good lunch box or water bottle sticker. Smaller than that, print the color file and use Print Then Cut.

Pressing it in layers

Mirror every color, then put the iron-on on the mat shiny side down and cut. Press the navy base first. Add the blue ring, then the white ring, then the red words, and finish with the gold stars and the white Now on the navy bar. The pressing details depend on your vinyl, so follow its instructions.

Who it is for

• A toddler moving into a big-kid bed, as a celebration shirt
• A new big brother or sister on the day the baby comes home
• The first day of school or of kindergarten
• Any birthday where the child wants a shirt without a number

Quick one-color version

Cut the solid file from a single sheet and the words, bar and stars come out as one clean design with no layering. It is a good choice when you are making several shirts for a group of kids.
