I found these cute little cardstock-type heart cards at Target that I thought would be perfect as the base for my scratch off Valentine’s Day card. I just wrote ‘Happy Valentine’s Day in the corner so I would still have room for my scratch off hearts.muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 1 Then, I sectioned off an area where I wanted the scratch off hearts to be and I traced around them with these little foam hearts as a template.muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 2Next, just fill in each heart with white crayon. Use a lot. I actually forgot to use the crayon on the first card I tried, and the crayon is definitely needed if you want the paint to scratch off!muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 3Then, just write in whatever cute Valentine’s Day prizes you want for your scratch off ticket. I wrote things like “Starbucks Date”, “Kiss”, and “Candy”.muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 4

Create your Valentine’s Day scratch off pain by mixing 1 parts dish soap to two parts paint. So, I just used 1 tsp. dish soap and 2 tsp of the acrylic paint.muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 5I painted in the hearts with a cotton swab and left to dry. My paint color was kind of light and you could still see the words through, so I had to paint a second coat after.muffinchanel Valentine's Day Scratch Off Ticket DIY Card 6Overall, this project maybe took 20 minutes with the paint drying and everything. But it was super easy and I already had most of the items at home already.
