I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a return to last year’s ever-popular Christmas Market Place collection from The Greetery.
It’s great to have this lot back in stock as we head into the festive season.
I’m a huge fan of the Market Place Holiday Festoons die set in particular. It’s so versatile and works with tiny and not-so-tiny houses from other brands too.
And of course it really brings the Market Place buildings to life…

For today’s card, I was inspired by a sugar plum colour palette. I grabbed the Market Place No. 3 die set as my building of choice to turn it into Claus & Claus Toy Company with the coordinating Market Place Holiday Sentiments stamp set.
Once I’d cut and assembled all the building elements from a mix of purple, pinky purple, and ivory tones, I added some “blinds” to the inside of the windows and splattered everything with white paint. I also went over some details with a white paint pen for extra frostiness.
Then I cut pieces of vellum to go behind the windows, and blended aqua ink over the back of them before mounting the building on a white card base.
Next, I decked the building with wreaths, bows, and garlands from the Market Place Holiday Festoons set, using glitter card and dry glitter for frosty sparkle.
Finally, to complement the “Merry Christmas” banner from the Festoons set, I added the perfect sentiment from the Laid Back Holiday set. It’s a great fit and will get much use on all my tiny house card projects!
And there we go, one more addition to my little winter village for 2026…
Until next time, happy crafting!
