Summary

A card and a model fighter jet all in one.
The pieces for the fighter jet snap out to make a 3D model that actually flies. This is my own design so I'm willing to share the files for you to use.  I did this on 3mm plywood using a D1Pro 20w using XCS standard setting ('3mm plywood' from the dropdown). The text is engraved and the ornamentation, frame and hearts, is scored.  To add a touch of colour, I used metallic gold and red acrylic markers. It is sized to fit perfectly in a standard sized card envelope.
