Birthday Vibes SVG

What you get

Vibes is the star of this one. The letters are drawn in a chunky, looping hand and then bent along a gentle wave, so the word looks like it is floating on the stripes behind it. A cream outline hugs every letter and lifts it clear of the busy background.

Behind the word, five ribbons of color ripple from edge to edge: burnt orange, mustard, avocado, then burnt orange and mustard again. Birthday sits on top in a thin, sloping script, and a pair of stars marks each corner, mustard above and burnt orange below.

It has the warm, faded feel of a sun-bleached 1970s tee, and it suits anyone who would rather keep the day relaxed than loud.

Pieces and weeding

Expect 24 pieces and 11 cut-outs in the solid version. The stripes, the outlined word, the script and the stars are separate parts. The iron-on carrier sheet keeps them in line as you press; adhesive vinyl needs transfer tape, and card needs a backing sheet to glue onto. The script is thin, so weed it slowly and keep the sheet flat. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

The layers in this file

• Base and lines in dark cocoa brown: the backing outline and the gaps between the stripes
• Cream: the soft outline around Vibes
• Burnt orange: the first and fourth stripes and the two bottom stars
• Mustard: the second and fifth stripes and the two top stars
• Avocado in olive green: the middle stripe
• Lettering in rust red: Vibes and Birthday

Sizes for shirts and more

Anything narrower than 4.5 inches closes up the script. For a small favor sticker, print and cut with Print Then Cut.

A matching group look

This is an easy one for a group of friends. Cut the solid version in a different color of iron-on for each person, or keep the layered version for the birthday guest and give everyone else the single-color cut. The design is wide rather than tall, so it sits well across the chest of an adult shirt.

Tips for iron-on

• Mirror the layout before you send it to the machine, and lay the vinyl shiny side down on the mat.
• Press the stripes first, then the cream outline, then the lettering.
• Peel each carrier as your vinyl maker suggests before adding the next color.
• Cut the solid file alone for a quick one-layer shirt in rust or white.

Other ways to use it

• A tote bag for carrying presents
• A sign for the snack table, cut large from card
• A water bottle with the solid file in permanent vinyl
• A card front at 5 inches, with the cream and stripes layered in paper
