Scratch-Off Business Card DIY
Business cards are some of my favorite business materials to design. Here is a fun, inexpensive, and simple business card DIY for your next blogging conference.
- 1" round hole puncher
- Pre-cut business cards
- 1 sheet of blank labels
- Information stamp (I got mine from vistaprint.com - they have both free designs, and ones available for purchase)
- Scratch-off stickers
Stamp the cards with your information. You don't have to use a rubber stamp, or purchase pre-cut business cards, but it does save time. You can buy plain paper, and cut it to the size you want, and print directly onto the cards.
You will need drawing software to create the circles. There are free versions available via inkscape, or you can try using Aviary. I made 1" yellow circles, and typed out encouraging phrases.
Print the circles out on the white label paper, and cut them with a punch. Since the circles are printed on the white label/sticker paper, they are really easy to just stick onto the card.
These are fun and memorable because they involve some effort on the receivers part to see the secret message underneath. Once their message is revealed, they can hold on to it, and always have your information.

This DIY is also really great for making coupons for a shop!
Ah! Thanks for this post. I have made my own scratch off cards from mixing paint with dish soap. This is a much easier option!
Now I can make some fun scratch discount cards!
I love that they are so simple but that they also make a statement. I have a craft fair in September and I think I will use this idea. :)
What kind of punch is that? I've been looking for it but so far have come up empty handed. The window that you can see what you are cutting out is awesome!
