You don't really need a pack of cards just put the level on any near level horizontal surface and providing the bubble ends up in the same position in the phial when turned end for end it will be accurate.

Have you checked to see if the 'head' of the holdfast is in full contact with the workpiece when tapped down? Shine a light from the far side and sight along the joint between the head and piece. A friend had a similar problem and found that only the heel of the head was making contact so he...
