Best Day Ever SVG

The idea

Best Day Ever reads like a staircase. Each word sits on its own rounded tag, and the tags step down from the top left to the bottom right: burnt orange for Best, mustard for Day, avocado for Ever. The letters are a heavy, square-footed slab face with a slight bulge in the middle, so they look puffed up and proud.

The empty corners get stars. Two avocado stars fill the top right and two burnt orange stars fill the bottom left, which keeps the diagonal balanced.

It is a short, upbeat line that fits any birthday, from a first one to a ninetieth, and it would not be out of place on a vacation shirt either.

Pieces and weeding

Cut as one color, the file is 19 pieces with 9 cut-outs. The three tags, the three words and the four stars are separate, so for iron-on leave them on the carrier, for adhesive vinyl use transfer tape, and for paper glue them to a backing card. The slab letters have open centers that weed out easily. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide. That makes it one of the few in this collection small enough for a pocket.

Color layers

• Base and lines: dark cocoa, the backing edge round each tag and star
• Burnt orange: the Best tag and the two stars in the lower left
• Mustard: the Day tag
• Avocado: the Ever tag and the two stars in the upper right, in olive green
• Lettering: dark cocoa, the three words

Size guide

For smaller items such as cupcake box stickers, print the color file and cut the outline with Print Then Cut.

Making a layered shirt

Set the machine to mirror and load the iron-on shiny side down. Weed and press the cocoa base first. The tags go on next, one color at a time, then the stars and finally the lettering. Each vinyl has its own pressing directions, so keep them to hand. At pocket size, the solid file in one color is the simpler choice.

Family and group shirts

The three tags make it easy to split across people. Give one sibling Best, another Day and the third Ever by hiding the other words in the editor, and the set spells the phrase when they stand in a row. Or put the full design on everyone and change only the shirt color.
