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?

Grit, Gears & Grunge — The Charm of Rust & Rev 🚙🛠️🧡
I’m so excited to share a full lineup of projects created with the 49 and Market Rust & Rev and Rust & Rev 2.0 collections — a perfect match for those who love a gritty, vintage aesthetic packed with texture, tools, and rugged retro charm.
From rusted pickups to vintage gauges, oil-stained textures, and gear-filled workbenches, these collections are brimming with bold masculine energy. Some of these cards were born out of a workshop led by the incredibly talented Deanna Hutchinson at Clipper Street Scrapbook Company in Langley, and others were built from scratch at home as I got more and more inspired by the elements in these kits.
Each design is layered with dimensional die cuts, weathered textures, and industrial ephemera that tell a story — whether it’s one of resilience, grit, or just good old-fashioned horsepower. Sentiments like “Built for This,” “The Man, The Myth, The Legend,” and “The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb” make these cards ideal for Father’s Day, birthdays, or for anyone who appreciates the beauty in patina and the pride of a well-worn toolbox.
💡 Design tip: Lean into the grunge! Use inked edges, distressed layers, and mixed media elements to enhance the raw, mechanical feel of the collection. And don’t be afraid to go full 3D with your embellishments — bolts, chains, and gauges are all fair game!
Big thanks to Diana for the inspiration and instruction — and if you’re a fan of masculine themes or automotive nostalgia, this collection is a must-have.
Got a favorite from the batch? Let me know which card revs your creative engine the most!

I Think You’re Souper! 🍲❤️
This might just be my favorite kind of comfort crafting! I had so much fun creating this shaped card using the Soup Can Card Die Set from Trinity Stamps — and let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good pun?!
This clever die set builds a full soup can card base, complete with embossed metallic “lid” details and bold wrap-around stripes reminiscent of a certain iconic pantry staple. I layered mine with classic red and white cardstock for a clean, bold look and added the included sentiment die and heart embellishment for a pop of sweetness.
The finished card is not only adorable — it stands up on its own, making it perfect for displaying on a shelf or desk. And while I went with a Valentine-esque “I think you’re Souper” theme, this set is incredibly versatile! Think get well soon, teacher appreciation, friendship, or just a warm note to make someone smile.
💡 Design tip: Use metallic or mirror cardstock for the lid to mimic real tin, and don’t be afraid to mix up the color palette for themed cans — think spooky soup for Halloween or festive tomato-chili for Christmas!
If you love shaped cards or just enjoy spreading punny positivity, this die set belongs in your stash.
Would love to know — what flavor of “souper” sentiment would you cook up with this die?

Get ready to turn up the color and the cuteness — this card was made using the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month: Tropical Friends and it’s giving all the sunny, vacation vibes!
This playful set features a colorful toucan and parrot duo, along with an assortment of leafy greenery and tropical blooms to help you build the ultimate jungle scene. I had so much fun choosing bold, vibrant colors to bring these feathered friends to life. (That rainbow beak? Obsessed.)
The sentiment “Sending cheerful chirps your way” from the Spellbinders adjacent collection “Cheerful Chirps”, it ties it all together and makes this card perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, or just a little happy mail to brighten someone’s day. I layered everything on a crisp white background with a black card base for contrast, letting the colors really pop.
💡 Craft tip: Don’t be afraid to use colors for your birds that aren’t realistic! It’s ok to have imagination!
Also, by mixing multiple shades of green when building your tropical foliage — you add depth and helps balance the bright bird colors beautifully.
Whether you’re a bird lover, a tropical theme fanatic, or just want to try something bold and fun, this die set is a must-have for summer crafting.
Tell me in the comments — which bird is your favorite: the sassier toucan or the sunny parrot?

If you’ve ever dreamed of building the perfect little paper house, the Our House collection makes it easier (and more fun!) than ever! This charming card was created using the Our House Dies, and I had so much fun personalizing it with all the delightful add-ons.
This die set is packed with customizable details — from interchangeable window shapes and scalloped roof tiles to flower boxes, balloon clusters, and banners! Whether you want to create a cozy cottage, a festive celebration scene like this one, or a wintery holiday home, the possibilities are endless.
The dies are perfectly sized to fill an A2 card front, but you can also use them to create a free-standing house-shaped card for something extra special. I used the coordinating Our House Extras Dies to add balloons and that festive banner, which I stamped using the Our House Stamp Set. The windows were lightly ink-blended for a soft glow effect, and the flower boxes add that perfect finishing touch.
Want to step it up even more? The Our House Embossing Folder adds dimensional brick textures for even more realism and charm.
Whether you’re making a card to celebrate a birthday, new home, retirement, or just because — this collection lets you create a scene full of personality and joy.
💡Pro tip: Mix and match elements with other seasonal sets for year-round versatility!
Thanks for stopping by — and don’t forget to tag me if you make a project using this set. I love seeing your creations!
I have had this stamp / die / stencil combo since September. It was the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2024 This Calls For Confetti exclusive. I got the foot print add-on stencil separately.
Is it perfect? Absolutely not. This card is for my Dad, he’s my favorite person in the whole world. Will HE notice all the little hiccups that I do? Definitely not.
We’re our own worst critics. I bet the love & thought put into a card erases any ‘mistakes’ we might make in the eyes of the recipient.
So rather than trying to be perfect or waiting, SEND THE CARD!!! 💝
This is my 3rd fall Crop & Create Delivered event, and one of the workshops was led my Cathy Zielske of Concord & 9th using the stamps, die set & stencil set.
I had a ton of trouble getting the white embossing to look as good as Cathy’s, but it was better than horrible as Gina K always says, so I decided to do my best and just finish the card
All Concord & 9th color cardstock is from the newest release – watermelon, eucalyptus, rainforest, creamsicle
I just love these Washi panels from Pink Fresh Studio! When creating these I always mount the washi panels on 110lb cardstock to give them almost a chipboard ephemera feel.
For this batch, I mounted the washi ephemera pieces on the stitched Arch diecut from My Favorite Things, and added just a hint of a stenciled background using Lost Shadow distress oxide ink set the perfect backdrop for these gorgeous pieces.
Jenoblade hits another stamp set design out of the park with this Stuck Together stamp set & coordinating dies.
The images are a great size to use as a single focal images or together like I did.
Slime line finished card measures 3.5” x 6” and I used a stitched die to give a subtle frame along with a bit of squeezed lemon distress oxide ombré shading.
A few clear droplets to finish it off and it’s ready for sharing!
Stamp Right Up!
