Look at ALL that yummy gingerbread...cookies and houses galore! I am still so hooked on The Greetery's Market Place Shoppe Dies and was thrilled to pull them out again to come up with this...
I used the Market Place Mini dies for this card and I also hadn't made a mini slimline card in quite awhile, so this is what I came up with combining the two. The Market Place Mini dies come as a set of three houses, and since all 3 wouldn't fit on the mini slimline panel, I just decorated one house and used the other two behind and to the sides of the decorated one. I did use Gina K's Brick stencil over the house that I'd die cut from kraft with my brown blending brush and then decorated with all the white trim and the wreaths and bows. I also added a strip of vellum behind the windows of the decorated house.
I used Gina K's ML#7 for my background panel and embossed it with SSS's Snowflake Visions embossing folder. I did run my white pigment ink pad over the tops of the embossed snowflakes so they would stand out a bit more. I added a torn snow hill over the bottom portion of my layered panel and added glitter to the torn part for a bit of sparkle and added my sentiment in red to the middle of the snow hill. I did use foam tape behind the snow hill and also the decorated house to add some dimension. I finished by adding two little red hearts I had in my stash (I think maybe SU!?). Really tickled by the way this card turned out!

The snowfall behind your pretty buildings creates such a lovely and peaceful card! I'm with Michele, I could stay a night or two there!
This is the cutest card, perfect for the challenge, and it looks like so much fun to put together! Definitely a gingerbread vibe, including the pretty snowflake background! You're going to be using this set a lot for years to come!
What a pretty gingerbread neighborhood, Marcia! The decorated house is fantastic and stands out beautifully by leaving the others plain! I think you win the gingerbread house contest!
Beautiful gingerbread houses, Marcia!! Love all the wonderful details. What a great idea to use vellum for the windows! :) xx

I spent last night painting giant gingerbread houses that decorate Hannah's Treasure Chest, a children's basic needs bank where parents can pick up things for Christmas. I think your house would be much easier even with all the fiddly bits. You've decorated it beautifully.
You are making lovely cards with the set. This one is fabulous and gingerbread-y. SO festive.
Hola Marcia.
T'he vist al bloc de Greta. Per això he passat a visitar-te al bloc. Les galetes nadalenques de gingebre tenen una pinta esquisita, em ve de gust menjar-ne una. Quina delícia, d'autèntica delicadesa artesanal. La targeta de Nadal és preciosa.
M'encanta tot.
Gràcies per compartir coses tan dolces i arts belles.
Una abraçada.
Mònica.
