Valentine's Scratch Off Card
Did you see this card in the last issue of
Better Homes and Gardens?I thought it was cute, so I got on their website and printed one off. The instructions are there and it's easy to make. Not convinced? I'll prove it.
My printer did two copies, so I used one for the template for the little hearts.
Cut out one heart, and then trace 4 out on clear Contact paper and cut them out.
Apply them to your card.
Mix two parts metallic acrylic paint with one part dish soap.
And paint your hearts.I used a flat artist's brush. Wait for it to dry.
And it scratches off!
See? 20 minutes, tops! Just make sure what you put in the hearts is something your sweetie will want. I put what I want. If I hadn't, I could just scratch all the paint off that heart and repaint it.I'll have to make another one.
Thanks for reading!

PS I can't believe I didn't notice this in my BHG magazine???!!!
This caught my eye in the magazine too! I even folded down the corner of the page ;-) Glad to know it worked well for you!
I love this. I pinned it too. I must say your pictures are nice as well. Did you take them with tripod or timer or did someone else take them for you? I'm still trying to get better settings for my pictures.
My only problem is what to put under the hearts. I know what he would like but those are not particularly the things I want to give..... haha
GREAT JOB...

Great tutorial, Suzanne! I love this idea-it's really cute! Happy day to you- xo Diana
I love it, it's such a cute idea.
I'm back and I've missed so much since I've been gone, I don't think I'll be able to catch up on all your posts.
So much has changed in blogland, I feel like I've been gone for years! the new message format and Pinterest and all the new cool layouts. I feel like I'm being left behind.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back, I missed reading your posts.
That is so cute! It is a MUST to Pin. :-) Thanks!
where would I get clear contact paper? A Michael's or JoAnn's type a place?
I think I will make this for the boys as a reward when they do something above and beyond!
