I measured the Main image to fit in a 3-1/2" x 5" rectangle about 2" from the top and side. Added a sentiment about a 1/4" from the top and side of the rectangle and printed on White Hammermill Coverstock. Colored with my copic markers.
Using the spellbinders-Art Nouveau #4 Die set, I centered over the main image and sentiment and ran through the Big Shot. Cut White Hammermill Coverstock to 10"x7" and score at 2-1/2" and 7-1/2"; then fold. Apply 2-1/2" Tear-ific Tape to both the 2-1/2" flaps. Peel the protective film off the Tear-ific Tape and Adhere the Frame from the Die Cut using the protective to smooth.
On a coffee filter, lay the cardbase and apply Ocean Glitter, burnish in, dump the excess off into the coffee filter, repeat until whole front is covered.
The main image I added Silver Glitter pen to the stethoscope, pen and clipboard top. Added
three (3) small lines on the the face shield with white gel pen. Applied Foam tape on the backside of the image on one half to allow the gate front to open. Adhere to the left flap with the foam tape.
Cut several strips of the Turquoise mesh, adhere to the outer edge and inner edge of the Die Cut frame with Dimensional Glue. Clip the Mesh and Frame with scissors. Adhere the Rhinestones on the flower centers, the corners and center sides. Apply Nuvo Crystal Drops on the Face Shield and let Dry!

For my second card I started with a 5"x7" card base. I Cut a 5"x7" white cardstock and using Martha Stewart's Scalloped Edge punches around the edges. Applied 1" tear-ific tape along the outer edges of the front on the cardbase. (set to side.)
Sized the Angel image to 3"x2-3/4" about 3" from the top and 1-1/2" from the side. Size a couple of sentiments in the 1-1/4" range and print on Hammermill 100# white coverstock. Color your image with Copic Markers.
Center the largest of the Oval Vintage Victorian frame die set over the Angel image and run through the Big Shot. I then applied 3 short lines with a white gel pen on the face shield and applied Silver Glitter pen to the stethoscope, pen and clipboard top. Apply Foam tape to the back of the Oval Die cut.
Using Tear-ific tape on the backside of the scalloped piece, center and adhere to the card front. Carefully peel the protective film from the card front edges and using the protective film smooth the scallops to the tape. Lay on coffee filter and dump the waterfall glitter into the edges and burnish in. Empty the excess into the coffee filter and empty back into the jar.
Cut the Blue & Lavender cardstock to 3-1/2"x5-1/2", apply tear-ific tape to the back side and adhere centered on the scalloped piece on cardbase.
Apply Dimensional Glue to the Wings of the angel, lay on coffee filter and dump the diamond Dust glitter, tap the excess off into the coffee filter and pour excess back into the jar. Let Dry.
Adhere the Oval die cut image centered on cardbase with the foam tape. Using the circle die cut a circle of the Silver Metalic with the Big Shot. Using the lace Circle die, center on the sentiment and run through the big shot. Center and Adhere the lace circle to the Silver circle using foam tape. Then adhere to cardbase off centered to the cardbase using foam tape.
I hope you had as much FUN as I did.
