    Little boys love nothing more than playing with toy trucks and cars, and so these bright and bold cards are just the ticket. Here, Jacqui has made a troop of speedy cards that are perfect for little drivers’ big birthdays. Jacqui says: “Simple shapes and cool colours cut from clay add fun details, such as wheels and traffic lights, for a brilliant 3D effect.” These designs are also ideal for grown-up boys who’ve passed their driving tests! You’ll definitely have as much fun making these projects as giving them away.

    This is a pdf article, first published in Papercraft inspirations. It includes a step-by-step guide for how to make a tipper-truck card. All shopping lists and supplies suggestions in this pdf were correct at the time of publication, but you may need to improvise and shop around for supplies if items are no longer in the shops.
