Dutch Paper Crafts release.. All hearts go home for Christmas

The release i am using is called the Marianne Design "Garden Release" for Dutch Paper Crafts.
The set includes, 2 bench seats, topiary, butterfly, wheelbarrow and watering can.

For this project i created a Christmas tri-fold card using the "fancy" bench from Marianne Designs- LR0258:

Other dies NOT in this release:
Marianne Designs house
Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Doily Dies- Frame 8
Nellie Snellen Nesting Heart dies

What i did:
I cut out the house from music sheet designer paper  placed it on the front of a large blue card with the left side slightly extending over the flap.  Then i cut the excess off of the right side.  Next i made a small flap that would fit inside of the card but open on the front.  I matted the back of the flap with antique glitter paper and added a a light blue piece to the front of the flap.  I adhered the flap to the inside front with the part shown loose.  I added the bench seat and Tilda hanging over the edge.  To decorate the house i cut it out of the antique glitter paper and cut out the roofs and door/frame.  I added iridescent pipe cleaners to the roofs using a glue gun.  I placed Christmas tree paper inside the front door. I also cut out banners and machine sewed them in a strip to hang. On the inside of the flap i added the sentiment, Merry Christmas..and inside of the card i added a computer generated "All hearts go home for Christmas".

First flap w/sentiment:

Dutch Paper Crafts Halloween Window Card

The release i am using is called the Marianne Design "Garden Release" for Dutch Paper Crafts.
The set includes, 2 bench seats, topiary, butterfly, wheelbarrow and watering can.

For this project i created a Halloween Window Card using the "straight" bench seat LR0259 and topiary LR0261 from this release:

 

Dies NOT from this release:

Marianne Passe Part-Out Circle *(PPO) CR1239

Spellbinders Large Scallop circle (using the large circle from Passe-Out to make the green frame)

Memory Box Precious Stars 98546

What i did:

I lined the front of the card with a double sided purple designer paper and die cut the scallop die (Marianne PPO) eyelet out and then hand cut the white i just cut out from the inside of the card to get the back of the purple double sided paper to show.    I die cut out the green scallop frame by using the largest Spellbinders scallop circle with the largest circle from the Marianne PPO.  Inside left side i cut just the circle out from the PPO, on the right i cut out a piece of black tulle and  (cereal box) chipboard from the largest PPO circle..i zig zagged around the tulle (the only way to get it to stay down (?).  I added the bench/Tilda and Tilda's owl using Fabric glue.  Added a tulle bow and diamond stickles to the topiary.  I also added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the die cut stars.

Inside of the card:

Dies Not in this release:

What i did:

This super hero image at Digital Delights is called Spider Stevie.  My granddaughter is all about Spiderman right now.  She saw a show called Mission Marvel with Phineas and Ferb and fell in love with him..there were other Marvel heros, but she picked this one.  So i had to make this card, i can't wait until i get her comment.  I colored Spider Stevie black and red with the hope of giving him more of a Halloween look.

Here is the card i made for the Digital Delights Blog, using Spider Stevie and a sentiment from the Super Hero sentiment set:
