Mini Birthday Tag Card SVG

A tag that opens

Gift tags usually have room for a name and not much more. This one folds, so it opens like a tiny card. Laid flat, it is two tag shapes joined back to back along a dashed fold, each with clipped corners at its outer end and a round string hole near the point. When you fold it closed, the two holes line up and the string goes through both.

On one half, Happy Birthday is written in a rounded script on two lines. The other half has a cut eight-petal daisy in the middle, with a short row of dots above and below it.

Pieces and weeding

It is one piece with 32 cut-outs, including the fold slots and the two string holes. Small stencil bridges hold the closed loops of the script. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

The color layer

There is a single layer, Berry, in deep crimson.

Sizes

The file is the open tag, so the folded tag is half its width. Set the overall width and measure.

Under 2.5 inches the script gets too thin. For lots of very small tags, print the color file and cut around the outline with Print Then Cut.

Making a batch

1. Set the size and cut as many as you need from 65 to 80 lb card; a 12 by 12 sheet holds a good number at 4 inches.
2. Fold each one along the dashed line, greeting side out.
3. Write the name and a short message on the inside.
4. Thread baker’s twine or thin ribbon through both holes and tie it to the gift.

Because the daisy is cut through the back half, a colored scrap glued inside behind it turns it into a little flower in a second color. Do this before writing the message.

Ideas

• A different card color for each child’s party favor
• Kraft tags with berry thread for a natural look
• Gold or silver mirror card for an adult’s present
• A tiny folded note tucked inside, with a photo on the inside panel

Beyond the gift

The tag also makes a place card at a birthday table: write each guest’s name inside, and stand it on its fold. At 6 inches it is big enough for a short thank-you note after the party.

Pairs well with

The Birthday Money Holder Card handles a cash gift, and the Easel Birthday Card uses the same berry red.
