Scratch-off Valentine Card

Scratch-off hearts valentine?s card 

 Make this fun Valentine’s Day card with BHG.com’s 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.

Custom No-Bake Fortune Cookies

Use premade fortune cookies, replace with your own message – Here’s how:  

1. Print out custom fortunes using any text editor.  I used the font Calibri in size 8. Cut to size.
2. Wet a paper towel and ring slightly.  You want the paper towel to be damp but not dripping wet.
3. Wrap towel around fortune cookie and microwave for 20 seconds.
4. Unwrap fortune cookie from towel carefully, towel may be hot.
5. The fortune cookie should now be pliable enough to open.
6. Quickly removed existing fortune cookie message and replace with your custom printed one.
7. Reshape fortune cookie (should be fairly simple, as the cookie already has its form) and hold for 10 seconds to keep form.
8. You want to do the last two steps quick, the fortune cookie cools very quickly.

You can dip in chocolate for extra specialness. Check out complete instructions HERE!

Somebody is *so* getting these for Valentine’s Day!!!
