Title: Twinkle on Christmas Cards
Post by: mrs bouquet on December 20, 2019, 14:02

I am not fond of twinkle cards.   At present, twinkle is on all the floors,  on my indoor shoes, stuck on my face, on the work surfaces etc etc.     How to get rid of it once it is stuck on the floors etc ?   :D  Mrs Bouquet

I try to avoid cards with it too - it's not recyclable  :(

I absolutely hate the stuff with a passion on both cards and wrapping paper! As MB says, it gets everywhere and even giving you hands a good wash doesn't get rid of it all. You only need to rub your eye and get a bit of the stuff in and it will get very sore. One year my dear friend and I met up at a restaurant to swop presents and her paper was covered in it. We ended up with it all over our clothes, the chairs, table top and the carpet. We beat a hasty retreat and she vowed never to do it again.
