How to do credit card scrape art with your kids 

*this project is in partnership with Tulip

Dabbing paint on some paper and then scraping it to get some super secret, fun, surprise results? YES PLEASEEEEE! 

Honestly, this is one of those DIY’s that doesn’t just “sound fun” it actually IS FUN, especially with your kiddos. In this project you will have a chance to get messy, try something new and encourage your kiddos to do the same AND AND AND you will walk away with some colorful, happy prints that you can frame in your home

If you can guess I am a HUUUUUUGE advocate for kids getting dirty and messy and allowing their creativity to just RUN….whether it’s outside playing or with a table full of art supplies or even just as they use their words to write or draw or make up stories. Imagination and creativity are SO HIGHLY encouraged in our house! 🙂 

And this project is sorta like an intro to letting kids run with their painting ideas without making a HUGE mess BUUUT ending up with some awesome and super fun prints when done. And of course you can take the project to the next level with writing or drawing over top of your scrape art, or cutting up your paper to make notecards or envelopes or gift tags too! Really, the sky is endless on how to use this technique! 🙂

MATERIALS:

  • A pack of this amazing Tulip soft matte paint 
  • Some cardstock or thicker paper (you want to use thicker paper that can “hold” the texture/richness of the paint, otherwise your paint will curl and buckle)
  • An old gift card or credit card to scrape
  • Some washi tape or something to hold down the paper while scraping
  • Some clean up supplies like paper towels or hand wipes, etc 🙂

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Grab all of your supplies and choose your work area – the one thing we quickly noted is that our table is a rough wood finish, so I just grabbed a piece of white foam core that we had lying around for a completely smooth surface (I didn’t want lots of texture in our scraping) 🙂

Note, that the Tulip soft matte paint can stain clothes, so it might also be a good idea to throw on a paint shirt or smock so that there is no hindering creativity! 🙂

2. With some wash tape, tape down your paper so that it is secure on a flat surface (a clipboard would also do if you have one of those around)! 🙂

3. NOW PAINT + SCRAPE + PAINT + SCRAPE!!!!!

aka, the fun part 🙂

Here are some tips when painting + scraping with this awesome (super happy) Tulip soft matte paint! 🙂 

  • Start anywhere on the paper. You can put dots or blobs anywhere on the paper you want – know that wherever you blob or day, there will be a little circle that sticks as the “starting point” to the color spread
  • Use only a small small dab. A little goes a long way, especially because we are scraping it, so essentially you only need a super thin layer when scraping for the color to show up 
  • Once you have enough paint/dabs/blobs on the paper, it’s time to scrape – begin at the top of the paper and scrape in one swift motion – ONE SWIFT MOTION 🙂 
  • Scrape off the paper or to the edge of the paper if you can……knowing that there will be all of the excess paint on your scraping card (credit card or gift card) leftover. 
  • Have a paper towel or baby wipe handy and wipe off your scraping card after each scrape – I didn’t want to mix my colors or overlaps on each section
  • Feel free to play around with the scraping – this is the “surprise” of the artworks – how the paint dabs work together and what motion you scrape in (rainbow arc, squiggle back and forth across the paper, criss crossing overlapping, or just from top to bottom….the sky is the limit)
  • PS – this soft matte paint is awesome to work with – I painted some old overalls with these same paints (see HERE) and they work just as awesome on fabric as it does on paper for this project 🙂 Smooth and full of color 🙂

4. Set each finished painting aside and allow to complete dry (about 2-3 hours for us….it’s a thin layer so they dry relatively fast TBH) 🙂 Once they are dry, cut the paper down to size for framing, for a bookmark, for a notecard or envelope or whatever you have your heart set on! 🙂

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebrate🎉 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound 😂😂😂 obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! 😂
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ❤️

The alternate caption could also be “yup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof 🥒 “
For the record, I got approximately zero adulting For the record, I got approximately zero adulting things done while constructing this cardboard @encantomovie Casita of my daughters dreams. Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the “we don’t talk about Bruno” song…..ya know, “we don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.” 🏠 🎨 💛 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart 😭❤️
“May you find the light that guides you home” “May you find the light that guides you home” 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas 🎄 I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways 😂)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall 🎉🎨
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the “shoulddas”. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! 😂 ❤️🎄
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now. 

And for all the online shoppers this weekend, use code YAYcreatives for 20% off everything in my shop through Monday night. Including these happy Colorful felt trees! (I meannnnn, look at their personality 😂😍)
