Scratch Off Cards

Did you know you could DIY a Scratch Off? This was my first stab at the technique, and it is so simple! I’m already scheming more ways to use Scratch Off Cards (wouldn’t they be a fun party favor or stocking stuffer?). Like my freeTic-Toe Valentines and Birthday Interviewprintables, Scratch Off Cards are an interactive way to celebrate a special occasion.

How to make Scratch Off Cards

1. Download the PDF file (Choose Pink, Green, or Blue cards).
2. Open the file in Microsoft Word and edit the text. Be creative! Here are a few ideas:
   • Popcorn and Movie Night
   • Backyard Picnic
   • Shopping Day (without kids!)
   • Date Night

   

3. Use a paper trimmer to cut out each card to 4×5 inches.
4. Place a small square of clear packing tape over the scratch off area.
   
5. Mix 2 parts metallic craft paint, to 1 part dish soap, in a small bowl.
   
6. Paint over the scratch off area. The first coat will be thin and may not go on evenly, but don’t worry! Once you let the paint dry and apply 1-2 more coats of paint, the scratch off area will be completely covered.
   
   

How fun, right? These colorful little cards are a simple and inexpensive way to give a creative gift. You’ll love watching the recipient scratch away the paint, revealing a special surprise. After all, it’s their lucky day!
