Ten Out of Ten SVG

About this design

Turning ten means reaching double digits, and this design gives the day a perfect score. It is laid out like a fraction: one heavy fat-face 10 sits at the top left, a second 10 sits at the bottom right, and a long gold slash runs diagonally between them from corner to corner. On the left, OUT OF is tucked in small spaced capitals, and two gold stars, one larger and one smaller, twinkle at the upper right like marks on a top test paper.

The look is crisp and graphic, which suits a ten-year-old who has decided that bunnies and balloons are for little kids.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 12 pieces and 4 cut-outs. The four digits, the slash, the stars and the small capitals are separate, so keep them on transfer tape or glue them to a backing card. The cut-outs are the open centers of the two zeros and a couple of letters. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Gold in antique gold: the diagonal slash and both stars
• Lettering in warm near-black: both 10s and OUT OF

Projects

• A birthday shirt in black with a gold or holographic slash.
• A card that looks like a report card grade.
• A party sign for the snack table.
• A pennant or bedroom flag in felt with iron-on.
• Goodie bag labels, printed in color.

Size guide

Below 4.5 inches, the small OUT OF capitals lose their shape. For tiny labels, print the design and cut it with Print Then Cut.

Getting the slash right

The gold line should run cleanly from the top right to the bottom left without touching either 10. On a shirt, place the line first along a strip of transfer tape, then fit the two numbers either side of it. On card, a ruler laid along the slash helps you see whether the numbers are sitting square.

Ideas for the colors

Team colors are a natural fit: put the slash in one color and the numbers in the other. A neon pink slash on black looks great for a ten-year-old who likes bright things, and silver on navy is a quieter choice. Our change SVG colors guide shows how to try each pairing.

Using it for other occasions

A perfect score works for more than birthdays. The same design suits a celebration of a tenth anniversary, a top grade or a team win, so it is worth saving even after the party.
