From party decor to tote bags and everything in between, let’s talk about all the ways you can use this high-quality digital design—plus, I’ll walk you through the best way to apply your SVG image for the best results.
Popular 80s Color Schemes for Retro SVGs
To really nail the 80s aesthetic, you need bold, bright colors. Some of the best combos include:
- Neon yellow, hot pink, and teal for classic arcade vibes.
- Electric blue, purple, and black, reminiscent of retro cassette tapes and posters.
- Orange, magenta, and lime green, because nothing in the 80s was subtle.
Mix and match these in Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air projects for that perfect throwback feel.

Cutting Burlap with your Cricut
FREE VIDEO TUTORIAL
Burlap sheets are so fun! I love using them on signs, for decor, and on a scrapbook page for added texture. They make cutting burlap so easy!
Puff Vinyl: The Ultimate 80s Texture
Want to take your 80s project to the next level? Try using puff vinyl. This textured heat transfer vinyl expands when pressed, giving designs a raised, three-dimensional look = more on puff vinyl here. If you remember the bold, puffy prints on 80s sweatshirts and hats, you know exactly why this is the perfect match for your retro SVGs.
Puff vinyl works especially well for bold text, making the 80s Vibes design pop even more. Pair it with neon colors to get that authentic throwback effect.
