    Make Your Own “Scratch-Off” Fathers Day Card

    Have you ever wondered how to make a scratch off card – kind of like a scratch off lottery ticket? Well, now you can! I’ve included a free downloadable card for Fathers Day and also instructions on how to make scratch off stickers for the card. I came across the idea and instructions for scratch off stickers from Artmind.

    Supplies needed

    Silver craft paint – I purchased cheap .59 paint at Michaels Crafts

    Dish washing liquid

    Clear Contact paper or clear laminating sheet

    How to make scratch off stickers

    Mix silver acrylic paint with dish washing liquid – 2 parts paint to 1 part liquid. I added a drop of black paint to help darken the silver. Paint the top side of the clear laminating paper (or whichever clear contact adhesive sticky paper) with your paint mixture – you might need to paint two coats. Let completely dry.

    Cut out five – 2-inch circles from the sheet (I used my Cricut machine) with scissors and peel off the backing. On the inside of the card, cover each printed circle with the scratch-off sticker.

    Include a craft stick inside the scratch off card and now it’s ready to give to your favorite dad! This is an easy project that your kids will enjoy making! Of course, you could always give the card as is… but dad will have tons of fun scratching off his fathers day card to reveal the terms of endearment. The possibilities are endless with what you can do with these scratch off stickers!

    Tips:
    Card stock paper is ideal for this card – regular printer paper is too lightweight. I experimented with several types of clear sticky backed plastics i.e. contact paper, laminating sheet, mailing label and packaging tape. They all worked except the mailing label – that surface was not shiny and the paint wouldn’t scratch off. The packaging tape was easy to use if that’s all you have on hand. To make the tape easier to paint, I taped packaging tape (2 inch wide) onto wax paper and painted the silver paint mixture onto the tape. I had a laminating sheet on hand so that’s what I ended up using. Two inch scratch off stickers are needed to cover the circles inside the free Design Dazzle Father’s Day card.

      What kind of adhesive did you use to attach the silver circles to the inside of the card?

      Thank you for all the kind comments! The adhesive used for the circles is already on the back of the contact paper or laminating paper. When you paint the silver on top of the contact paper you will then use the back side (sticky side) to paste onto the card. Hope that makes sense…

      My kids lovew this card and want to make it for my boyfriend for father’s day but they don’t want to have the last circle. Is there a way I can change what the last circle says?

        Sorry I wish I could help but it can’t be changed at this point. Cut a circle out and glue it over the circle with your own wording. Good luck!

      I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome website!

      You mentioned that the downloads of the Father’s Day card is for personal use only. My husband is a teacher, can he use it as a Father’s Day craft for the kids to give their Dads?

        Absolutely!! Love to help out teachers! Another option to laminating sheets is a clear packaging tape. Details are here on another scratch off tutorial https://www.designdazzle.com/2013/06/reading-rewards-scratch-off-chart-free-printable/
        Good luck!

      If you use paper or cardstock or even mailing labels, it will scratch off if you use a crayon over it.
