Do you want to make a heartfelt card or a thoughtful gift for a healthcare worker, fire fighter or police officer?
Are you crafting for a real-life hero-themed birthday party?
You're in the right place. We have just the thing for your cutting machine!
Whether you want to create a gift box, favor box or card with an envelope, we've got you covered. Our First Responder themed designs are just the thing for nurses, doctors, paramedics, law enforcement officers and firefighters.
These SVG cutting files are also a big hit with little ones who idolize our first responders.
Firefighter Coat Card
This turnout coat card looks like the real deal! Especially when you use shiny silver paper for the reflective stripes. However, light gray paper also works beautifully here too.
This can also be made in the khaki or orange color scheme that a lot of firefighter and emergency responder jackets have.

Paper Recommendations
The card stock that I recommend for paper crafting and card making is textured card stock that's about 80#.
I like using Encore paper by 12x12 Cardstock Shop and American Crafts Card Stock paper. Generally, most by-the-sheet textured solid-color card stock paper from craft stores works well.
Glue Recommendations
Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive, Bearly Arts Precision Glue and Art Glitter Glue are my go-to adhesives.
Cutting Machine Compatibility
These designs are compatible with all cutting machines, such as the Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker, Silhouette Cameo, Brother ScanNCut, Siser Juliet, Siser Romeo, Starcraft Solo, Glowforge and more.
Solid Score Lines
These designs come with two options for score lines. By default, the fold lines are dashed cut lines. We also offer these designs with Solid Score Lines. You can find these in your download. They are in the Extras folder, in the Solid Score Lines folder.
