Happy New Year Stamp SVG

About this design

A New Year greeting in the shape of a postage stamp. The outline has the bitten, perforated edge of a real stamp, with a thin frame inside it. HAPPY sits at the top in rounded capitals, a firework bursts in the middle, NEW YEAR follows underneath and three small stars finish the design.

It has a playful, vintage-mail feel that suits cards, scrapbooks and planner pages.

Color layers

• Backing in pink: one solid stamp shape cut to the outer edge
• Design in cream: the perforated border, the inner frame and the lettering
• Accents in gold: the firework and stars

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 42 pieces and 7 cut-outs. Many pieces are the sparks of the firework, so weed slowly and keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall; for tiny stamp stickers, print it and cut around it.

Projects

• Card fronts with a stamp in the corner.
• Scrapbook and journal pages.
• Planner stickers with Print Then Cut.
• Mail art and envelope decorations.
• Small framed prints in a gallery wall.

Step by step: a layered card

1. Set the design to 5 inches tall and download the color file.
2. Cut the backing from pink cardstock, the design layer from cream and the accents from gold foil cardstock.
3. Glue the cream layer onto the pink backing, then the gold firework and stars.
4. Mount the stamp on a folded card at a slight angle.
5. Write your message inside and post it.

Color ideas

• Red and cream with gold, like a holiday stamp
• Navy and silver for a winter look
• Pink, cream and gold, as shown

Making it look like a real stamp

For a vintage feel, cut the backing from textured or kraft-colored cardstock and the design layer from a matte cream, then add a small round postmark by hand with a fine marker. A set of three stamps in different colors, placed at slight angles, makes an eye-catching card front or a journal page.

Stamp-sized stickers

Our cut checks start at 5 inches tall, and the bitten edge is the most delicate part to weed. For planner stickers around 1 to 2 inches, print the color file and let your machine cut only around the outer edge. You keep the stamp shape and skip weeding every perforation by hand.
