Floral Happy Birthday SVG

About this design

This is the simplest way into the floral set: the greeting does the talking and the flowers frame it. Happy sits on the first line and Birthday on the second, both in a looping script that leans and swirls like handwriting on a nice card. Above the words, a small peony rests on two short sprigs of sage green leaves. Below them, a curved garland of leaves swings from side to side, with a layered rose at its center, a little blush flower on either side and a pair of pale eucalyptus sprigs tucked underneath.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark slate blue-gray: the backing that shows as a fine edge and as the lines between petals and leaves
• Leaf green in muted sage: the two sprigs at the top and the long garland at the bottom
• Eucalyptus in pale gray-green: the two small sprigs below the rose
• Blush in soft pink: the outer petals and heart of the peony and the rose, plus the two little flowers on the garland
• Rose in deep dusty pink: the ruffled middle of the peony and the cup of the rose
• Lettering in the same dark slate: Happy Birthday, cut on its own so it sits flat on the page

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 28 pieces and 16 cut-outs. The words make up much of that count, since the script letters do not all join, and the flowers and sprigs above and below are separate from the lettering. Use transfer tape to carry vinyl across in one go, or glue everything to a backing card for paper. The cut-outs are small openings inside letters and flowers, so weed them while the sheet is still flat. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Size guide

Under 3.5 inches the script loops and flower hearts get too tight to weed. For a tiny tag or sticker, print the color version and cut only the outline with Print Then Cut.

Ideas for using it

• A card for a mother or grandmother, built up in layers of cardstock.
• A tote bag in two or three colors of iron-on vinyl.
• A mug in permanent vinyl, with just the slate layer for a quick, clean look.
• A framed paper floral for a birthday table, cut at 10 inches or more.

Building the layered card

1. Cut the slate base from dark cardstock first.
2. Cut the sage, eucalyptus, blush and rose pieces from their own sheets.
3. Glue the garland and sprigs down, then the outer petals, then the darker centers.
4. Add the lettering last, lined up with the backing so the slate edge shows evenly.

For a softer look, swap the slate for a warm gray; the change SVG colors guide shows how.

Pairs well with

The Eucalyptus Birthday Wreath uses the same script inside a ring of round leaves, and the Peony Birthday puts one big bloom center stage. More greetings live in the Happy Birthday collection.
