Castle Birthday SVG

Once upon a party

A storybook castle works for knights, princesses, dragons and anyone who simply likes towers. This patch is shaped like an arched window. Under a pale blue sky, a golden castle stands on a green hill: a central keep with three square battlements, a tall arched door and a small arched window, flanked by two round-shouldered towers. Each tower has its own window, an orange cone roof and a green flag on a thin white pole. Two white stars twinkle in the upper corners.

The bottom band is white and reads CASTLE PARTY in one line of bold capitals.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark navy: the arch backing, the outlines, the door and the four arched windows
• White in clean white: the two flagpoles, the stars and the lettered band
• Sky blue in light sky blue: the sky behind the castle
• Sunshine in warm gold: the keep, its battlements and both towers
• Grass in meadow green: the two flags and the hill
• Orange in bright orange: the two tower roofs
• Lettering in dark navy: CASTLE PARTY

Pieces and weeding

This one cuts as 32 pieces with 9 cut-outs when solid. Flags, poles, roofs and stars float as their own parts, so transfer tape is the way to move vinyl, and a backing sheet keeps card parts lined up. The flagpoles are the thinnest strips; let the blade go slowly over them. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Size chart

The poles and the one-line lettering need at least 5 inches. If you want a mini version for place cards, print the color design and cut the arch outline with Print Then Cut.

Building it in card

Glue the navy arch down, then the sky and the hill. Add the two towers next, followed by the keep, which overlaps their inner edges. The roofs go on top of the towers, then the poles and flags above them. Finish with the stars, the white band and the words. Building it this way means the castle reads as one solid building with the towers set back.

A royal party

• A drawbridge sign for the front door, cut large from foam board.
• Invitations written as a royal summons.
• Crowns and shields in the same colors, using the matching designs below.
• Treat boxes with the castle on the lid.
• A cake topper in thick card or wood, taped to a food-safe skewer and taken out before the cake is cut.

Colors to try

Pink and lilac towers for a fairy-tale palace, or gray stone with red roofs for a knight’s fortress. The color guide explains how.
