Another Year Card SVG

A toast in paper

Not everyone wants balloons on their card. This one is for the grown-up birthday where the main event is dinner with friends. Cheers fills the center in a big, confident script with heavy strokes. Beneath it, TO ANOTHER YEAR is set in small capitals with plenty of space between the letters. Everything else is confetti: little stars, round dots, short bars and diamonds, tilted at random angles and spread evenly across the card, kept clear of the words.

The format is landscape, wider than tall, which sets it apart from the portrait cards in this set.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is one piece with 40 cut-outs. The confetti shapes are small but simple, and they never touch each other or the edge. The script has a few closed loops, held by stencil bridges. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Color layer

One layer, Berry, a deep crimson red.

Sizes

The card is close to a 7 by 5 shape. Set the width to 7 inches for a landscape 7 by 5 front, and measure the height before buying card bases.

Under 5 inches the confetti and small capitals become too fine. For place cards or tiny tags, print the color file and cut the outline with Print Then Cut.

Making the card

1. Cut the front from 80 lb card in berry, black or navy.
2. Pick a backing that shimmers: gold or silver mirror card, or holographic card, makes the confetti sparkle.
3. Glue the front to the backing around the edges and in the open space above and below the words.
4. Mount it on a landscape card base that opens from the top or the side, as you prefer.

For a party

Cut a few at 5 inches as a set of invitations, or scale it up to a framed sign for the table. Because the design has no age on it, the same file covers a thirtieth, a fortieth or a sixtieth, and the backing color can follow the party’s theme.

Inside the card

Keep the toast going: a short wish, a plan to celebrate together, or a memory from the past year. A metallic pen in the same color as the backing ties the inside to the front.

Color ideas

• Black front over gold mirror card for an evening look
• Navy over silver for a cool, crisp card
• Berry over blush pink, as a softer version
