Mickey 'N Minnie Made Easy: How to Manage Large Layering Die Sets!

 Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  I've been having fun with Spellbinder's Steamboat Willie die set and thought I'd share some tips on how to "wrangle" it;)




I've listed the supplies I used and linked them below (AFIL- Thank you!)  I noticed the Spellbinder's website is out of stock, but all you need to do is hit that "notify me" button and they will let you know when it's available again!

I decided to take a Sharpie and number them on the package and the dies.  Several of them look a lot alike, such as the arms.  Here's a link to a list I made for you:

I share how to assemble these (kinda like "paper dolls") in a quick tutorial:



There is also a chart supplied by Spellbinders:


I hope you will give this a try and it makes assembly easier!

I'm off to "Paperganza!"  It's a mini-convention sponsored by Craft Roulette and Pear Blossom Press.  Will report back soon!

Bye for now!

How To Make A Diecut Inlay Birthday Card! It's "Groovy!"

 Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  I can't believe we are nearing the end of June already!  I want to share a birthday card that I mass-produced for a card swap at Paperganza.  Paperganza is an event sponsored by the Craft Roulette Youtube channel and Pear Blossom Press at the end of July in Kansas City.  I'm looking forward to going with friends and sharing some highlights with you!


This card features a diecut inlay and a rainbow inked background stamp that is super fun to make and no two are the same.  Most of the products I used (except the die set) are probably unavailable (Links are below for things that are;). However, you probably have everything you need already!

Here's the link to the full tutorial:

I hope you enjoy it and try it yourself!  Please consider subscribing if you haven't already and like, comment and share with your friends!

Here are the supplies I used (& some substitutes):

Take care and I'll be back soon!
