To Make The Card:

Place the tracing paper

over the diagram on the pre-

vious page and trace all the

pieces except the windows

and parcel but including the

outline of the door.

Place the tracing face up

onto the relevant colour card

for each piece in turn. Draw

over the design using an

embossing tool and pressing

firmly to indent the card

beneath. This works best if

you place the card onto a

slightly soft base such as

an old magazine.

Cut out all the pieces

except the tyres using a craft

knife. Cut the door out of

the body along the lines marked. Use the ‘small

wave’ edge scissors to cut out the tyres.

Use the photograph as a guide when assem-

bling the pieces. Stick the door back into place

using a little tape on the back. Place the clear

acetate over the diagram of the window and

using the overhead projection pen, draw the

shapes directly onto the acetate. Cut it out

making sure you keep just inside the line on

the front edge of the window or it will show

on the finished design. Stick the window on

the reverse of the truck body using small pieces

of double sided tape. Place a small piece of

tape onto the end of the steering column and

stick at an angle behind the window.

Stick the long strips of silver onto the body

and use sticky fixers for the headlamp and

bumper ends. Use the embossing tool to indent

a ‘U’ shaped door handle onto the top silver

strip towards the back edge of the door.

paper is too floppy. Below are some alternatives

you could use to achieve a similar result:

1. Cut the parcel from thin card and wrap a

piece of kraft paper around it using double

sided tape on the back.

2. Sandwich two pieces of kraft paper together

with glue or photomount to stiffen it, then cut

the parcel from this.

3. Rule slightly darker brown pencil lines across

a piece of smooth brown card.

Stamp the greeting onto the parcel if you

have a birthday stamp, if not use stickers or

write the message by hand.

Place a 7cm length of double sided tape onto

the back of a strip of silver card then cut a 2mm

wide strip from it for the parcel string, peel off

the backing and stick along the centre of the

parcel trimming off any excess. Punch out a

silver bow and use double sided tape to attach

it onto the parcel at the top of the string.

Use a couple of pieces of tape to stick the

parcel to the inside edge of the truck. Place

pieces of sticky fixer onto the back of the truck

and parcel. Position the truck on the front panel

of card and press into place.

Punch two circles from silver card using the

hole punch and assemble the wheels as follows.

Stick the hole punched dots onto the centre of

the silver hubcaps. Use the embossing tool to

indent four small dots onto the hubcaps to look

like fixing bolts. Use small pieces of sticky fixers

to attach the hubcaps to the silver wheel guards.

Use sticky fixers again to fix the wheel guards

onto the body of the truck.

I managed to find some stiff brown kraft

paper for the parcel, it looks much better than

plain brown card but normal thickness kraft

You could fill the truck with all sorts of differ-

ent presents to suit the recipient. For a teenager

who enjoys music, how about this musical

version (above). For a keen gardener you could

fill the truck with pictures of beautiful plants,

sports equipment for someone who enjoys

excercise or tools for a DIY enthusiast.
