Handmade by Natty

I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, with more inspiration from the new Christmas Market release by The Greetery.

This time, the focus is on the star of the collection, in my humble opinion: The Market Place dies and coordinating supplies.

Restocks have been ordered, so if you missed out, it shouldn’t be too long a wait. The original release flew out in record time!

But in the meantime, I have some mini cards to share today that feature most of the collection.

Products featured today:

• The Greetery | Market Place No. 1 dies
• The Greetery | Market Place No. 2 dies
• The Greetery | Market Place No. 3 dies
• The Greetery | Market Place Holiday Festoons dies
• The Greetery | Market Place Holiday Sentiments stamps
• More supplies linked in the supply list at the bottom of this post

Market Place No. 1: C9 Nectar, Grapefruit, Juniper, Sunflower, Poppy, Powder, Evergreen, Cranberry

The assembly for all three buildings is pretty much the same. Each die set features the outline die of the building and a nesting piece that cuts all the windows and door openings.  That way you can use the outline die to cut a solid colour to go behind the openings or leave the openings as they are to put an LED tealight behind if using the Arch Box Large die for example.

It’s very easy to tape the nested die to the outline die and do both cuts in one go.

Once your buildings are cut, you just need to add the lovely architectural details from the rest of the die set.

Each building set contains the strip for adding a delightfully festive sign from the Market Place Holiday Sentiments stamp set.

Then for added festive accents, the Market Place Holiday Festoons die set contains various wreaths and bows, plus light garlands and a Merry Christmas banner. A really handy die set on its own, as those bows and wreaths are so handy!

Market Place No. 2: C9 Rainforest, Sea Glass, Grapefruit, Pimento, Eucalyptus, Nectar, Evergreen, Cranberry

For my cards today, I used all the wreaths and bows, plus the light garlands cut from glitter card, and the Merry Christmas banner cut from Matte Gold cardstock.

For a finishing touch of wintry magic, I added splatters of white paint all over, plus white puffy paint that I went over with clear glue to add dry Distress glitter. Next time, I’m going to add even more snow into the mix with the Snow Flock options available in the store.

Market Place No. 3: C9 Brickyard, Eucalyptus, Cranberry, Wheat, Evergreen | Bazzill Butter Mints | Matte Gold

As you can see, this product suite is so versatile and offers endless possibilities for different colour palettes and using up your scraps too.

Once all my mini cards were assembled, I simply mounted them on cut down card blanks so that they could stand up nicely on the mantelpiece.

These have been a fun start to the Market Place street! Looking forward to making more buildings…

Until next time, happy crafting!
