Who says Steamboat Willie has to stay black and white? I had an absolute blast putting a fresh spin on the Spellbinders Steamboat Willie Die Set — transforming it into a sweet and colorful tribute to everyone’s favorite couple: Mickey & Minnie Mouse!

This card is a playful twist on a classic. I brought the vintage-style silhouette dies to life with vibrant cardstock to match Mickey and Minnie’s iconic color palettes — bold red, sunny yellow, and of course, classic black and cream. I paired the duo with a large, stitched red heart to give it that unmistakable lovey-dovey vibe, perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or just a little everyday magic.

The dimensional layering of each element really makes the characters pop — just look at those eyelashes and Minnie’s shoes! And the little flower? Swoon. It’s the tiniest touch that brings this whole scene together.

💡 Craft tip: Don’t be afraid to break from the original color scheme of a die set — especially when it gives you room to reimagine beloved characters in your own style!

Whether you’re a Disney die-hard or just love making character-inspired cards, this is one die set that’s full of potential beyond the steamboat.

Let me know in the comments — are you team Mickey or team Minnie?
