DIY Scratch Off Business Cards

Step 5Cut. Pack. Ship.

Cut. Pack. Ship.
Once everything was stamped I just took it to Kinko's to use their cutting service. They stacked up my prints and cut everything on a huge guillotine. Having crop marks in between each card made the process super simple.

See how pretty they are? The work fabulously and look incredible. I am super satisfied with how everything came out. If I were to do this whole project over again I would try to space the cards out more, squeezing in so many on a sheet meant that any cuts that weren't exactly on the crop marks made the cards look a little funky. I also learned to let everything dry for a day before playing with it. Curiosity got the better of me a few times and left me with sheets of cards covered in fingerprints.

If you have any questions post them in the comments but be sure to read the whole instructable. There's a pretty good chance the answer is somewhere in there. If it's not I'll amend the tutorial here with a FAQ section.

I design laser cut jewelry for all you fashionable nerds out there. Check out Sleek and Destroy to get my latest designs.
