Make a Scratch-Off Hearts Card for Valentine's Day
Make this fun Valentine's Day card with our template and type in your date-night choices. To finish the card, follow the easy steps below.
1. Print the card onto cardstock and trim. Print the heart template and cut out, then cut a strip of clear Con-Tact paper long enough to make four hearts. Trace around the heart template on the paper side of the Con-Tact paper.
2. To make the scratch-off solution, mix 2 parts metallic acrylic paint with 1 part dishwashing liquid. Using a small, flat paintbrush, apply a thin coat of the scratch-off solution onto the front side of the Con-Tact paper and let dry for an hour. Repeat with a second coat, and add a third coat if your paint looks streaky.
3. Cut out the hearts (following the traced outline), peel off the backing, and place over the heart spaces on the card. Package the card with a new penny.
Hahaha! This idea is just wonderful, and cost-free. It saves up on my [url=https://personalmoneynetwork.com/payday-loans]Payday Advance Loan[/url] for the real big date later. This sure starts the romantic sweetness on a different cutesy level. Thanks bhg.com!

Como no entendia las instruciones, puse el con-tac paper en toda la targeta y corte los ecesos. Luego pinte tres veces cada corazon, He love it......

2/14/2012 07:17:32 PM Report AbuseI didnt have any con-tact paper handy so I cut a small piece of scotch tape to cover the words (diagonal on the ends to fit the heart shape). It worked GREAT! I used "Full Body Hot Oil Massage", "Breakfast in Bed", "Day Long Date Planned by Me", and "Head to Toe Kisses B4 Bed"
