  I am open to suggestions.

  Bake it in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, at around 375F.

  You make me like charity

  Using fire isn't actually a bad idea. I've baked a few cards in my day and brought them bake to life

  Found a link if you want to give it a shot, you may damage your card... but if its dead already lol, it's not like you can make it much worse.
