My first project today features the brand new Market Place Suite! I think this project is my favorite one from the entire release, so I thought I would show it to you first! Hee hee. The Market Place Suite has stamps and dies that create detailed houses or shoppes…. There are two sizes, small and large and you can use them in a million different ways. I created a village of treat boxes! As soon as Betsy told us that the larger Market Place buildings fit on the front of the Large Arch Box, I was in! You know how much I love a treat box/packaging project. I literally had 50 ideas immediately. I ran out of time! But I did make three shoppe treat boxes, using each of the three dies…. I am OBSESSED. Each one has a totally different color palette and embellishments. But together they look frosty and welcoming! (You of course knew I would make a coffee shop)!
One shoppe is traditional red and green, one shoppe is more masculine, and the third one is girly pink! I used tons of chunky glitter and fake snow. I really just had the most fun creating these. My process is pretty much the same as when I make a card, but I thought it might be fun to share how I built these. I started by die cutting out all the Large Arch Box pieces from kraft cardstock. Then I assembled the boxes and set them aside. Then I planned out my color palettes for the three buildings. I die cut all the pieces for each building at the same time, so that I would have everything ready when I put them together.

I glued all the pieces together on the buildings…. Now to decorate! I embellished each building before I put them on the boxes. So, white paint splatters, check. Glitter glue, check. Candy Canes, check. And lastly, SNOW!! I may have gone overboard a little, but word is a blizzard came through town! Lastly, I affixed the shoppes to the front of the treat boxes using foam circles. I tied each one at the top with pretty gingham. These boxes are actually pretty big, and some candies and a gift card fit perfectly inside. I am just giddy with anticipation to see what Betsy and the other ladies made with these dies!!
Look at those tiny wreaths!! The die set for that has three sizes of wreaths and bows, garlands and even Merry Christmas (like on the pink shoppe)

Here’s a top down view of my village – so you can see the structure of the arch boxes. I love this project!
Next up is a card that features the brand new Cocoa Cozy suite of products! There are stamps, dies and a beautiful Embossing Folder! All the products work together to make a cozy scene with mittens, snowflakes and of course a warm bevvie. My finished card is an A2 card base and I used ALLLL the goodies. One of my favorite winter color palettes is pink and aqua….I know that sounds funny, but I love those colors together with snowflakes for some reason. I embossed the background first. Then I stamped the mittens, the candy cane/straw, and the sentiment (love) and die cut those out. I die cut out all the pieces of the mug and assembled that. There is a separate die that cuts out the mittens to perfection – and then you slide that cute mug into the ‘hands’ – it’s just so sweet. I embellished of course with some icy gems….

Finally, for today, my third project is a card featuring the brand new Shortbread Suite of products. There are stamps, dies and another amazing Embossing Folder. This suite creates a tray of perfect shortbread cookies. YUM! Good enough to eat for sure. My finished card is an A4 card base, and as I am know to do, a bit of gingham is layered on. I die cut the tray out, and then embossed the ‘cookies’ next. I used Antique Linen Distress Ink and a blender brush to add a bit of oven browning to the cookies. Just a tiny bit! Then of course, some chunky sugar glitter…. There are so many possibilities for this set – great for recipe books, and gift tags and all the things for the baker in your life. I love the sentiments that come with this suite too!!
