Hi Friends! Welcome to another round of Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where demonstrators from around the world all get together for one cause: to inspire you! This month we are having fun with new products from the Holiday Catalog.
I chose to feature the stamp set So Santa which has a Santa that is whimsical and fun doing unconventional santa things like baking, motorscooting and my favorite, surfing!
We had a Holiday Extravaganza to kick off the new catalog and half the attendees received a gift. The way we decided who would win was by these adorable scratch-offs! They were so fun and easy to make.
Each person got a scratch-off and when scratched would reveal either Merry Christmas or Bah Humbug! You can probably guess who the winners were 🙂
I made these by printing the Merry Christmas or Bah Humbug onto Whisper White cardstock. You can also stamp a sentiment. Then I stamped the Santa and the HO! HO! HO! sentiment using Memento Ink. I colored them with the Stampin’ Blends, attached the scratch-off blue water and adhered the whole thing to a piece of Pool Party cardstock. Here are the directions on how to make the scratch-offs:
You will need:
– Clear Contact Paper (I got mine at the Dollar Store)
– Acrylic Paint
– Liquid Dish Soap
– Paint Brush (I used a foam paint brush)
Lay out the contact paper flat. I used rocks to keep mine from rolling back up. Mix 2 parts paint to 1 part dish soap. Using the paint brush, paint onto the contact paper. You will need at least 3-5 layers of paint letting it dry about 15 minuted in between coats or it will become very streaky. The darker the paint, the less layers you will need. I then let it dry overnight and the next morning I couldn’t help but scratch some off to make sure it worked 🙂
Using the Seasonal Layers Framelit Dies to cut the wave shape and then peeled off the back of the contact paper and stuck it onto the cardstock.
I hope you do give this homemade scratch-off a try. It is such a fun technique and a real wow to the people who receive it.
