Happy New Year Label SVG

About this design

A vintage label, the kind you might find on an old bottle or a shop sign. A rectangle with scooped, notched corners holds a double border, and inside it Happy is written in a casual script above NEW YEAR in bold, rounded capitals. A star rule finishes the lettering.

On the midnight-blue backing it reads like a chalkboard sign, and it frames the greeting neatly for signs, trays and jar labels.

Color layers

• Backing in midnight blue: one solid shape cut to the outer frame
• Design in cream: the double border and the lettering
• Accents in gold: the star rule

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 14 pieces and 8 cut-outs. The two borders are separate rings around the lettering. It passes our cut checks from about 5.5 inches wide; for smaller jar or gift labels, print it and cut around it.

Projects

• Chalkboard-style signs for the party table.
• Jar labels for homemade treats, printed.
• Serving trays and boards.
• Mantel signs on painted wood.
• Card fronts with a layered look.

Step by step: a painted wood sign

1. Paint a 12 by 9 inch board midnight blue or black.
2. Set the design to 11 inches wide and download the color file.
3. Cut the design layer from cream vinyl and the star rule from gold.
4. Apply the cream layer with transfer tape, centered.
5. Add the gold rule and seal the board.

Using it as a frame

The notched frame is also useful on its own. In your software, hide the lettering and you have an empty vintage label for jars, shelf tags or place cards, where you can write names with a chalk marker. Keep the double border together: the thin inner line is what gives the label its finished look, and it holds its shape best when both borders are applied in one go. For a party, cut a set of empty labels and let guests write their names on them as place cards.

Pairs well with

The Merry Christmas Chalkboard Label uses the same frame for Christmas, and the Happy New Year Stamp is another vintage shape.
