Birthday stickers aesthetic printable sets are the fastest way to dress up a card or a planner spread without picking up a paintbrush. This set has 19 sheets of pastel party pieces: layer cakes, balloons, gifts, party hats, candles, sweets tables, drinks, decor and more, all drawn as separate objects ready to cut out.
Print each sheet on sticker paper for a peel-and-stick finish, or on plain paper and attach the pieces with a glue stick. Either way, print at actual size and leave a thin white edge around each piece when you cut, it keeps the fine outlines crisp.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design. More than that is commercial use and is not permitted, and neither is selling or sharing the images themselves or passing them off as your own. Please ask before any other use.
Birthday Cakes
Six cake pieces make up this sheet: a tall layer cake, a cake with candles, a cupcake with a single candle, a cake slice, a drip cake and a heart-shaped cake, each one its own cuttable sticker.
Pair this sheet with the candles and sparklers set below for a card where a sparkler sits beside the cake, or tuck the cake slice into the corner of a planner week to mark the actual birthday date.

Light up a card corner with a sparkler, a candle trio, a single candle with a flame, a lit match, a twisted candle and a candle holder, six small flame-topped pieces that work well scattered along the edge of a birthday junk journal spread.

Six balloon shapes float across this sheet: a heart balloon, a round balloon, a balloon bunch, a star balloon, a hot air balloon and a balloon dog, each with its own trailing string.
On sticker paper these peel straight onto an envelope flap or the top of a gift bag. On plain paper, cut close around each string and glue just the balloon body down, leaving the string to curl free for a little lift off the page.

A gift box, a gift bag, a stack of presents, a round box, a box tied with a bow and a sealed envelope fill this sheet, six wrapped shapes good for dotting around a card border or lining the edge of a planner’s birthday page.

Party Hats And Crowns
Six head-worn party pieces sit on this sheet: a cone party hat, a paper crown, a tiara, a cone hat topped with a pom pom, a flower crown and a plain sash.
Cut these on a craft knife rather than scissors where the crown points meet in tight corners, it keeps the little peaks sharp instead of rounding them off by accident.

Six more party accents round out this group: a candle holder, a party hat band, a confetti burst, a tiara band, a cone hat ribbon and a sash buckle detail sit ready to cut for the smaller spaces on a card.
Keep this sheet next to the party hat sheet above so headwear and trim land together on the same page, rather than scattering them across separate spreads.

Feed a sweets-table spread with a pizza slice, a popcorn bowl, a sandwich plate, a fruit cup, a hot dog and a cheese board, six savoury party bites that balance out all the sugar on the rest of the set.

A macaron tower, a donut wall, a cake pop, a cookie jar, a candy jar and a lollipop make up this sweets-table sheet, six pastel treats that print especially well on glossy sticker paper where the icing details stay crisp.
Group two or three of these around a cake sticker from the first sheet in this set to build a tiny dessert table scene on a card or a gift tag of your own.

A punch bowl, a champagne glass, a soda bottle, a milkshake, a lemonade jar and a juice box fill out the drinks sheet, six party sips that pair naturally with the party food stickers above for a full tablescape feel.

Six decor pieces string the party together: a garland, a bunting banner, a paper fan, a tassel garland, a disco ball and a pile of confetti.
Run the bunting or the garland along the top edge of a card before anything else goes on, then build the rest of the scene underneath it, the same way a party room gets decorated from the ceiling down. See more glam party pieces in this disco ball roundup.

Soft and matched for one colour story, this sheet carries a pastel cake, a pastel balloon, a pastel gift, a pastel cupcake, a pastel candle and a pastel bow, six pieces that already sit in the same blush and sky palette as the rest of the set.

A bouquet, a rose, a tulip, a vase of daisies, a peony and a sunflower bring a floral note to the birthday page, six stems that work equally well on a card border or tucked beside a gift tag. For more floral sticker ideas, browse the aesthetic flower sticker set.
Five minutes is all it takes to cut just the rose and the peony and stick them either side of a handwritten “happy birthday” on a plain card front.

Six animals dress up for the occasion on this sheet: a cat in a party hat, a dog holding a balloon, a bear with a gift, a llama wearing a bow, a giraffe in a crown and a lion with a cake, playful enough for a child’s birthday card or a planner sticker.

A pinata, a ring toss, a sack race sack, a balloon pop board, a treasure chest and a musical chair cover the games corner of the party, six pieces for anyone building a lively kids’ birthday spread.
These print just as nicely on plain paper as sticker paper since the shapes are simple, so this is a good sheet to start with if you are gluing rather than peeling.

An ice cream cone, a sundae, a popsicle, an ice cream cart, a single scoop and a banana split round out the ice cream sheet, six cool treats for a summer birthday card or the dessert section of a party planner page.

Take the celebration outside with a picnic table, a lantern string, a lawn chair, a cooler, a frisbee and a party tent, six pieces that suit a garden birthday card or a summer planner week.
Save the lantern string for last when you cut, its thin wire shape is the fiddliest on the sheet, so cutting it after the sturdier pieces keeps your scissors steadier.

A cassette tape, a roller skate, a boombox, an instant photo, a lava lamp and a jukebox bring a throwback note to the set, six pieces built for anyone planning a retro-themed birthday card or scrapbook page.

A teapot, a teacup, a tiered stand, a scone, a sugar bowl and a tea sandwich make up this gentle sheet, six pieces for a tea party themed birthday that pairs well with the flower sheet above. See more ideas in this tea party journal roundup.
Group the teacup and the tiered stand together on a card front, then add a rose sticker beside them for a small afternoon tea scene without any extra drawing.

A favor bag, a bubble wand, a yo-yo, a mini sticker sheet, a whistle and a bracelet fill the favors sheet, six small keepsake-style pieces that look right lining the inside flap of a handmade card.

What to Do Next
Pick two or three sheets that match the birthday you are celebrating, print them at actual size, and start cutting: the cakes and balloons sheets are the easiest place to begin if this is your first time working with a set like this.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these birthday stickers?
Printable sticker paper gives the cleanest peel-and-stick finish for cards and planners. Matte sticker paper keeps the pastel watercolour look true to colour, while glossy paper adds shine that suits the sweets and drinks sheets especially well.
What printer settings should I use?
Print at actual size with scaling turned off, so the stickers come out at the size they were designed. Select the highest quality or “best” print setting on photo or matte paper to keep the thin grey outlines sharp.
How do I cut out the stickers neatly?
Leave a thin white border around each piece rather than cutting exactly on the line, it protects the fine outline from fraying. Small detail scissors handle the outer curves, while a craft knife is easier for tight inner corners like crown points.
Can I use these stickers without sticker paper?
Yes, print the sheets on plain paper and attach each piece with a glue stick instead of peeling. This works just as well for journals and cards, though it will not peel and reposition the way true sticker paper does.
Where do these birthday stickers work best?
They suit handmade birthday cards, gift wrap, and the birthday week of a planner spread equally well. Mix pieces from different sheets, such as a cake with balloons or a gift with a bouquet, to build a fuller scene on one page.
