Hello crafty people! I’m up on The Greetery Blog today sharing my bonus card for November! How fast did fall go by this year? It’s going to be Christmas here very quickly! And that means time to finish (or start LOL) all the pretty Christmas cards! I had one other idea from the last new release that I didn’t get made in time for release week. So I thought I would share it with you today. Didn’t you just love the Marketplace Collection? Exquisite! My idea was to take the Marketplace buildings and make them gingerbread. That’s what I have for you today, pretty row houses with a classic gingerbread vibe.
My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with red and kraft. For my color palette, I used mainly kraft and white to mimic traditional gingerbread houses. Little pops of red and green make it perfect for the holidays. My card features the brand new Marketplace Mini dies – which are now, thankfully, back in stock!

I started by die cutting out the three houses from kraft cardstock. I die cut out all the accent pieces from white cardstock to look like frosting! I next used the Holiday Festoons Dies set to die cut wreaths and bows from red and green cardstock. I assembled all the pieces and then generously splattered on some white paint snow! I used vellum behind the windows for a frosty look. I did also add some sparky, chunky glitter.
The sentiment was gold heat embossed onto black paper using the Rosemal Reflections Sentiments stamps and dies.

For the background layer I used white pigment ink on the kraft cardstock and stamped the lovely Hymn Sing stamp. I love that stamp! The perfect Christmas background…. I die cut a few gold accents also.
I attached the houses to the card using foam squared to make everything pop just a little. I added a couple of enamel hearts from my stash. This card is so yummy and Christmas-y!
