Scratch-Off Valentine's Day Cards

Well, as they say - better late than never!  I made these cute Valentine's Day joke cards for Jennifer to take to school and forgot to post them!  I had actually seen them last year over at - Jennifer McGuire's website - but didn't get the material in time and was so proud of myself that I remembered to make them for her this year.  It probably worked out for the best, as they are reading better and can appreciate them more.  She gives you free downloads as well, which makes them so easy to put together which I needed this year as I was running out of time.


Here is an example of the download.  On the video she does some foiling as well, which I did not do.


I cut them out and mounted them on Real Red CS to give them some stability. 


These are the scratch off circles that I purchased from Inky Antics.  They have a lot of different shapes and sizes as well. 


All you do is apply one over the answer to the joke!  There is even a little message to tell them to scratch there.


On the back, I used some washi tape and taped down a quarter to use to scratch off the joke answer.  I thought they were so cute.  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The weather here was so nice and warm especially for February.  It can stay like this as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for stopping by,

Nancy

Aw.. this is a fabulous Valentine. I didn't even know they made such things for scratch off. I bet the kids loved these.

This is one of the cutest ideas I've ever seen for handmade kids' Valentines! I didn't know such products existed. How cute! Love that you taped the quarter to the card, too. Really, really fun!!
