Rub-ons are transfer designs and greetings that can be used for card making.
You can apply them to many materials such as paper, card, chipboard and even ribbons!
I'm going to show you how easy rub-ons are to use to make a gorgeous birthday card.
Must rub-ons come with a plastic tool or wooden stick that can be used to rub over the front
of the transfer design. If your rub-ons don't come with a tool then
you can just use a wooden lollypop stick. Now I really like this pink cupcake design,
so I'm going to use it to make a birthday card.
Remove the transfer from the packaging along with the stick supplied, then peel the rub-on
sheet away from the waxy backing paper. You can see looking at the sheet that the
back looks dull and it's this side that will transfer onto the paper.
Carefully position the design centrally over your paper, keep the sheet in place with one
hand and using the wooden stick rub over the design with a moderate amount of pressure.
When you have rubbed over the entire design, carefully peel away the sheet to check that
the entire design has transfered. Don't worry if it hasn't.
Keeping the sheet in the same place means that you can just rub over any missing areas.
As you can see the cupcake design has transferred perfectly onto the piece of card.
