Do you remember scratch and create books from when you were younger? I used to love making all sorts of pictures this way but I haven’t seen any new books or kits for this art in years. I recently learned about a new set of books that I wanted to share with you.

Scratch and Create Books
Scratch and create books allow the artist to scratch off a metallic coating to reveal a design underneath. Not only is the process of scratching very relaxing, but it’s fun to see the design unfold underneath.

Lettering kits come with everything artists need: three lettering stencil sets, one set of ornament stencils, and 16 scratch sheets, each with a unique, and colorful background which will show through the design.

Scratch & Create: Enchanted Forest: 20 original art postcardsScratch & Create: Wild Garden: 20 original art postcards
Both of these postcard kits come fully stocked with one stylus, an exclusively designed tool to remove the silver color ink coating, three different lettering stencil sets, a set of ornaments, and 16 scratch sheets.
My thoughts
These are such gorgeous books that would make a beautiful gift for anyone on your gift list this year. Or, if you’re artistic yourself they are a great way to relax in a different way than coloring. When you’re done scratching the design underneath, you could easily display the postcard or artwork in a picture frame or on a small easel. Each book comes with its own stylus to use.
These are gorgeous high quality books that you won’t want to share with the kids. I love that there are finally scratch and create books for adults.

Not going to lie. I have never seen these before and honestly I would enjoy it.
I’m sure you would!
boy it’s been years since I did scratch books. These look really unique, a nice variant on the adult coloring book fad.
I agree! They are beautiful books!
