Summer Birthdays
My birthday falls in the first half of July, and my son’s birthday is in the second half of June.
The two of us definitely relate to our water loving Cancer horoscope sign. My husband is from Saskatchewan and I always tell him that I would never be able to live somewhere away from the ocean.
My dream would be to one day live right on the ocean, but in the meantime I’m coping with living minutes from the Fraser River which leads right to the ocean. The ocean itself is only a 15 minute drive away.
I’ve had many ocean themed birthdays over my lifetime so when I heard that our theme for the month was banners I had immediate ocean inspiration and my mind went straight to mermaid themed!
I have this Birthday Mermaid cut file in my shop which is one of my bestselling cut files and I thought that having a banner to go with it would be so much fun! How cute is this onesie made with heat transfer vinyl?!?! It would also look so cute on a t-shirt or mug!
Mermaid Birthday Banner Free SVG Cut File
Each of the letters in this adorable cut file have sweet little mermaid scales on them! You can make it using your favorite mermaid color cardstock and iron-on. I used gold glitter iron-on for my letters and I loved how it turned out. It’s even cuter than it looks in the photos!
As usual, my Cricut Facebook group got a sneak peek of my new cut file! Have you joined yet? If not, what are you waiting for? The group is called Cricut Canada Love and Learn but it’s for Cricut crafters worldwide!

- Cardstock In Your Favorite Contrasting Mermaid Colors
- HTV
- Cricut Cutting Mats
- Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore or Cricut Joy
- Cricut EasyPress or Iron

Directions:
Step 1: Open Cricut Design Space. Upload the Birthday Mermaid Banner cut file and insert it onto your canvas.
Step 2: Size the banner to the size you would like for it to cut. You can do this by clicking on the banner and using the arrow button that appears in the bottom right hand corner.
Step 3: Click Make It. Don’t forget to click the mirror slider on the mat with your Happy Birthday letters since you will be cutting them out of iron-on. Follow the instructions on the screen, loading each mat with the correct cutting material, loading it into the machine and cutting.
The letters get cut out of HTV and the starfish and banner pieces get cut out of cardstock.
Step 4: Carefully weed your HTV, removing the HTV from around each letter. Leave just your design behind on the clear plastic carrier sheet.
Step 5: Heat your EasyPress or iron following the instructions for the type of iron-on you are using. Center each letter on top of one of the front banner pieces and press. I pressed each of mine for approximately 10 seconds. Set aside, and once cool to the touch remove the clear plastic carrier sheet.
Step 6: String your banner on ribbon or yarn. Hang and enjoy!
