The key is to find the right font (or fonts) and experiment with contrast, weight, scale, and depth. Here’s a short tutorial from the Adobe Make It Center on how to achieve warping (envelope distortion) on Illustrator.

Cute illustrations – Drawings add a lighthearted touch to any card. You can use the celebrant’s photo and jazz it up with stickers or fun little details.

Number cutouts – Cut out “60” on the front cover. Inside, add a pair of googly eyes for a fun “surprise.”

Happy 60th birthday wishes to brighten their day.

A 60th birthday gives the celebrant the perfect moment to reflect on the past and embrace new beginnings. Infuse your 60th birthday wishes with warmth and sincerity to make the celebrant feel truly special.

A personal touch goes a long way, and with Adobe Express, you can design banners or posters that beautifully showcase these heartfelt wishes. Whether it’s a celebration at home or a grand party, your thoughtful design will make their day unforgettable.

Speaking of the celebrant’s life journey, why not make a handmade pop-up card that showcases some of their most memorable moments? With this tutorial from @gayatriscrafts (Gayatri Chouhan), you can feature several photos all at once.

Alternatively, you can make a digital photo collage to share with the celebrant and their loved ones. Launch Adobe Express and use the search bar to look for photo collage templates. Once you’ve found a template that you like, feel free to switch up the images, fonts, and colors to make it your own. Add animation effects or apply image effects like shadow or duotone to make each image pop.

Design a “License to Celebrate” poster inspired by, well, a driver’s license to mark the celebrant’s milestone birthday. Include details like the celebrant’s name, date of birth, and details of their birthday party.

Explore customizable templates from Adobe Express and make your own driver’s license-inspired poster. Browse design assets and icons that you can use to elevate your design.

60th birthday wishes that are funny.

Who says turning 60 always has to be a serious affair? Laughter is a gift that never ages, and sharing 60th birthday wishes that are funny is one of the best ways to celebrate this milestone.

Playful jokes, quips, and lighthearted remarks about getting wiser (and maybe a bit forgetful) can bring a smile to the celebrant’s face. Take your 60th birthday wishes up a notch with a funny flyer or poster that highlights their best traits in a creative and entertaining way.

Here’s to the golden years. Design a “Golden Years” timeline hanging banner featuring important events in the celebrant’s life.

Adobe Express lets you choose from vertical or horizontal banner layouts. Generate text effects, such as gold highlights, to give your banner a premium look. To make custom text effects, launch Adobe Express and add your text to the design. Then, select the text and go to the Effects tab. Under Generate text effects, click the pencil icon and write your prompt to generate the effect.

Sixty years hold a lot of memories. Why not showcase some of the celebrant’s best (and funniest) ones in a thoughtful yet funny photo collage? Cut out old photos and combine them with the celebrant’s more recent ones. Use paint or acrylic markers to write funny 60th birthday wishes on the collage. Jazz it up some more by adding stickers or by using colorful markers to make outlines or add silly drawings.

Happy 60th birthday wishes for a male.

Sixty years is an incredible milestone, and for the men in our lives—fathers, brothers, husbands, and friends—it’s a moment to celebrate their legacy. Your 60th birthday wishes should recognize their wisdom, strength, and the journey that has shaped them.

Add these 60th birthday wishes for a male to projects like birthday cards or posters to elevate your greetings. When designing such projects, incorporate elements that reflect their personality and accomplishments. For example, if he likes all things Art Deco, then incorporate elements like ornate designs, geometric shapes, and symmetrical patterns. This Adobe Express guide shows you how you can apply Art Deco elements to your designs.

When designing birthday cards, you want them to truly reflect the celebrant’s personality. To do that, consider their interests or hobbies. You can also use their personal style, especially if they have a unique one, as your design inspiration. Think about how you can visually represent their traits (and quirks) on the birthday card.

Happy 60th birthday wishes for a female.

A 60-year journey that’s filled with strength, grace, and countless beautiful memories—now that’s something definitely worth celebrating. When honoring an inspiring woman, be it your mother, sister, or friend, your birthday wishes should be as radiant as she is.

Express your appreciation for her kindness, wisdom, and unwavering spirit with these happy 60th birthday wishes for her. Design a banner to showcase your admiration, using elegant fonts and delicate floral designs that reflect the celebrant’s beauty and grace.

Speaking of elegance, a Victorian puzzle purse is a great gift to give to women who are turning 60 (or any age, really). It combines chinoiserie-style artwork with a sweet surprise message.

To make a unique puzzle purse, include references to things that the celebrant likes. For example, if they like birds or flowers, try to incorporate them into the design. Follow this tutorial from @leaplingstudio (Rachel Kim) on Instagram.
