Love Conquers All – Meaning & Background

Now, I have to admit that I didn’t exactly know where the phrase “Love Conquers All” originates. It popped into my head as I was designing this love SVG file, and it just felt right.

After doing some digging, here’s what I discovered, courtesy of Merriam-Webster:

Shortly before the start of the first millennium, the Roman poet Virgil wrote “love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love.”

Okay, if that’s not romantic, I don’t know what is!

A similar phrase also appears in the Bible in this well-known verse recited at countless wedding ceremonies:

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13

In both cases, I think it’s a lovely sentiment to share with friends. Wouldn’t this phrase be great to make DIY gifts for a bride-to-be or newlywed?

Free Love SVG and JPEG Files

As a special Valentine’s Day surprise for my VIP newsletter subscribers, I’m sharing my own interpretation of the “Love Conquers All” phrase!

I plan to wear my homemade t-shirt year-round, not just for Valentine’s Day.

You may remember a similar heart SVG design I shared last year. I still love the buffalo plaid heat-transfer vinyl, but I opted to go with a simpler design this year.

I have a full tutorial on how to create a heat-transfer vinyl (HTV) design in that post.

The only difference is that patterned HTV does not require mirroring (reversing) the image before cutting on a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo machine.

If you want to make a regular smooth HTV design like my “Love Conquers All” shirt, don’t forget to mirror your design before cutting!

DIY Gift Options with Love SVG/JPEG Files

Though I decided to make a heat-transfer vinyl t-shirt, you have many other options for using my free file downloads:

• DIY mug
• Painted canvas tote bag (using cut files as stencils)
• Printable art
• DIY cards
• Car decal

Note: For the Silhouette Cameo, you’ll need the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition or Business Edition to import SVG files. With the Cricut, you’ll want to import your files as a vector upload.
