Before you start

Three Tips for a Card That Turns Out Right

  1. Print on matte paperWatercolor designs look closest to paint on matte or textured cardstock; glossy paper makes them look like a photo.
  2. Check the print marginsEdge-to-edge florals need borderless printing — or trim the white margin after printing.
  3. Pair it with real flowersA floral card tucked into a small bouquet is one of the easiest birthday gifts that still feels thought through.

Questions people ask

Before You Download

Are these birthday cards free?

Yes. The Creative Fabrica free trial includes 10 free downloads, so you can download any card on this page for free — up to 10 of them. Start the trial, then use the button on each card.

Do I need a Cricut?

Only for cards marked SVG cut file. They open in Cricut Design Space and in Silhouette Studio (the free Silhouette edition opens DXF rather than SVG — check the file list on the product page). Cards marked Printable or Digital file need only a printer.

What paper should I use?

65–80 lb (about 175–216 gsm) cardstock works for most card bases. For layered papercut designs, use a lighter cardstock for the fine top layers so the blade cuts cleanly.

What size envelope fits?

A card folded to A2 size (4.25 × 5.5 in) fits an A2 envelope; a 5 × 7 in card fits an A7 envelope. Each product page lists the finished size of the card.

Can I sell cards I make with these files?

Licensing is set per product on Creative Fabrica. Check the license section on the product page before selling finished cards.
