{Thursday Thoughts} DIY Scratch Off Tickets

I was browsing on a site called IShareCrafts the other day when I came across this awesome tutorial on how to make your own scratch off tickets! You would not believe how easy it is! 


You can see the whole tutorial here on the blog Oh the Lovely Things. While you are there, browse around...her blog is great!

As much as I love the printable files she posted to download, I decided to do a little something for my shop with these. I took a piece of scrapbook paper and cut a small square of card stock for the scratch off part to put in the middle. I do not have access to a laminating machine and I am too lazy to get it laminated from a store so I used packing tape to cover the card stock square after I wrote on it and it came out just fine!

I usually mail a thank you card or note with my orders with a coupon code to use for their next purchase. I saw this and thought it would be a cute idea to include a scratch off containing a code for my customers to use on their next purchase. Here is how it came out...

This is what it looks like unscratched. I just used a color that matched my scrapbook paper instead of silver.
This is what it looks like after it is scratched. It was a little messy so for the ones I send out I will probably make them a little smaller since this one was pretty big!
 Doesn't it look awesome?! You know you want to try it! Hop on over to the tutorial and let me know if you try it and how it went. It would be nice to say hello to ClĂ©mence {the author of Oh the Lovely Things} and let her know what an awesome tutorial she posted! 

Happy crafting!
