I am not happy

I traipsed into town this morning to get some stuff to make an Anniversary card and I can not get the rub-off transfers to stay on a piece of card or a piece of paper. Flipping heck.

What am I doing wrong?

Is the card waxed? Feel it, does it feel smooth?

DH did it for me.

It is just normal card as far as I can see.

Have you got the rub off transfers the right way round (sorry but you do have to ask)?

I did wonder that but I figured the letters would be backwards if I did it any other way.

My DH's firm used to make them so he is going to have a look for some for me.

Thank you

BTW some was coming off when I really pressed hard but never the whole bit.

How frustrating - maybe a duff batch - take them back.

I have wasted used about 5 now so I don't think they would and it was only 99p.

Is annoying as they were the only Happy Anniversary ones they had.

i have the same trouble with rub-down trasfers many a card has been spoiled in this way - i know use alphabet rubber stamps instead.
