Kabir Construction......

The adorable son of some friends has his 6th birthday today. Happy Birthday Kabir!! This truck reminds me of  a Tonka Truck (anyone remember them?!) and what little boy doesn't like dumper trucks? This one was so easy to make. I cut and assembled the dumper truck, from Bazzill cardstock and silver mirri. I added a number 6 adhered with foam pads, and 'Kabir' and 'construction' cut from blue & black cardstock and adhered flat. The completed truck was adhered with foam pads to a grey shadow. Then I adhered the shadowed truck to a side folded C5 card placing the front of the truck slightly overlapping the fold in the card, then cut around it leaving a small border. Voila! A dumper truck-shaped card!  Happy Birthday cut from black cardstock was adhered inside the card.
Carts used:
Dumper truck/Kabir Construction/6- Boys Will Be Boys
Happy Birthday (not shown)- A Child's Year
I think I'll be making more of these!
Before I sign off I'd like to thank the ladies who came to the Swarm today. They made some great cards and we had a great time!
Thanks for dropping by!
