Birthday Blossoms SVG

Spring on a branch

Cherry blossoms mark the very start of spring, which makes this a sweet choice for anyone with a March or April birthday, or anyone who simply loves pink flowers on bare branches. A long, dark branch runs across the top of the design, bending gently, with three short twigs reaching up and down. Six blossoms sit along it, each with five notched petals around an open heart, some in soft blush and some in deep rose. Three round buds dot the branch between them. Birthday Blossoms is written below in a bold, rounded script.

The layout is wide rather than tall, which suits a long card, a banner or the front of a tote.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark slate blue-gray: the backing, the outlines, and the branch with its twigs
• Blush in soft pink: four of the blossoms
• Rose in deep dusty pink: two of the blossoms and the three round buds
• Lettering in dark slate: Birthday Blossoms

With just four layers, this is one of the simplest designs in the set to cut and assemble. There is no green: the dark branch does the work.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 31 pieces and 16 cut-outs. Each blossom and bud is separate from the branch, and the words are separate too, so you need transfer tape or a backing card. The cut-outs are small: each blossom has an open heart, and the script has its own openings. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Size guide

For a tiny sticker or tag under 4.5 inches, print it and cut the outline using Print Then Cut.

Ideas

• A spring birthday card with the blossoms raised on foam dots.
• A tote bag for a friend who loves Japanese gardens.
• A wall decal in permanent vinyl above a desk or a bed, cut large.
• Gift wrap tags, printed and cut in a batch.
• A shirt with only the branch and blossoms, leaving the words off.

Making a 3D blossom card

Cut the branch in slate and glue it flat. Cut a second set of blossoms, fold each petal gently upward with a bone folder, and glue only the centers onto the first set. The petals lift away from the card and catch the light, giving the branch a little depth.

Color ideas

• White blossoms on a brown branch for an apple or pear blossom look
• Peach and coral for a warmer spring
• Gold card for the branch and white for the flowers on a dark card
