Best Friend Birthday Card SVG

Two hearts, side by side

Best friends get their own card here. Two large hearts sit near the top, one slightly bigger than the other and each tipped at a slight angle, like two friends posing for a photo. Below them, Best Friend is cut in heavy, rounded lettering with a bit of bounce. HAPPY BIRTHDAY follows in small, well-spaced capitals. All around, small hearts and round dots are scattered like confetti, kept clear of the words and the big hearts.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is one piece with 43 cut-outs. The two big hearts are separate windows with a strip of paper between them, and the confetti hearts are small but simple shapes. Stencil bridges hold the centers of letters such as the B, the e and the d. It passes our cut checks from about 6 inches wide.

One thing to know: the bridges through the capital B are quite visible at small sizes, and from a distance the letter can read a little oddly. Cutting larger, or placing a light backing behind it, helps it read as a B.

Color layer

The card has a single Berry layer, a deep crimson red.

Assembling

1. Set the width to 6 inches and glue the front edge to edge on a 6 by 6 inch card base. Measure the front after sizing.
2. Cut it from berry or any bright cardstock.
3. Choose a backing color: white or pale pink for a soft look, gold glitter card for fun.
4. Glue the front to the backing and then to a folded 6 by 6 card.
5. Post it in a 6.5 inch square envelope.

Sizes

Do not go under 6 inches, or the confetti hearts and letters get too small. For smaller cards and mini tags, print the color file and use Print Then Cut.

Ideas for the inside

A best friend card is the one place where in-jokes belong. Write a memory only the two of you will understand, or a list of plans for the next twelve months. Tuck a photo strip from a booth inside if you have one.

Color mixes

• Hot pink front over a turquoise backing
• Black front over rose gold mirror card
• White front over a rainbow striped paper, so each heart shows a different color

The confetti hearts are tiny windows, so a patterned backing shows in little snippets. Try a combination with our guide to changing SVG colors.

For a group of friends

When several friends are signing, cut the front once and give everyone a turn inside. If the group is large, glue a second sheet of paper inside the fold to make a little booklet, so nobody has to squeeze a message into a corner.

Pairs well with

The Another Year Card is another berry red card for grown-ups, and the Sister Birthday Card covers the family side of the birthday list.
