This business card is for the modern nanny who never knows what questions they’ll be asked. Used as finger puppets to entertain young children and educate them on important issues like safe sex, drugs, and alcohol. This is my first 1HDC. I’ve never really don’t anything like this before but I hope to do more in the future. Feedback welcome!
Even though we can’t compete in the challenge because we work at Core77 I had some fun making this for the 1hdc ads and thought I’d upload it. I’ve been using it for a week and it is holding up ok!
The entries are looking great, keep 'em coming!

My design comes from the perspective of a custom motorcycle manufacturer. People who would come into possession of these cards would be motorcycle enthusiasts.
This design takes the business card and turns it into a funnel that can be used for putting oil into a motorcycle, or any other fluids for that matter.
The card comes with a hole punched out of the middle and two perforated curved lines running almost from the center to the top and bottom of the card.
The user tears the perforations and twists the card into the funnel shape. It holds together when it is inserted into a circular opening (see the beer bottle pic)
I also tried to make a small nut and bolt holder for those fiddly bits that you always manage to loose, but it would require more time to construct.
The idea is to serve sushi straight from the folded business card. The pointy corners of a business card are great for cleaning your teeth (we all do that, don’t we?).
Here is a card that has a little window and a disc. Turn the disc to see 8 different bits of info in the window: Phone #, email, address, artist, inventor, designer, machinist, photographer.
