    How to Apply Rub-On Transfers with a Die Cutting Machine

    July 27, 2026 / 5 Comments

Die-cut the taped-together frames Gold Matte Metallic cardstock from the Treasured Cardstock assorted…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back again on the blog today to share a couple of bright summertime cards made with the new La Dolce Vita Collection from Spellbinders.  The unique die sets, beautiful embossing folder, and gorgeous sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three colorful cards for a variety of occasions.
