Insert the large Basic Gray rectangle into the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Basic Gray rectangle to the front of the Pool Party card.
Adhere the rectangle of Texture Chic Designer Paper to the center of the front of the card.
Pick out the piece of net die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the Silver Foil rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine a couple of times. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick and/or Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces.
Mount the "season's greetings" sentiment from the Christmas To Remember Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the long, skinny Shimmery White strip.
Pick out the longer, skinny label die from the Seasonal Labels Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Lay the piece of net cut out on the front of the card at a slight angle in the center of the designer paper.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out at a sharp angle to the center of the net cut out so the right end of the label just barely overlaps the right edge of the designer paper as shown.
Flip the net cut with sentiment label cut out attached upside down. Put more adhesive on the back where it is hidden by the sentiment label cut out. Flip it back over and adhere it in place.
As you are ready to stamp using the Season Of Chic Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the snowflake image from the Season Of Chic Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Shimmery White square.
Pick out the large, open snowflake die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the stamped snowflake image on the Shimmery White square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the snowflake cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the right end of the sentiment label cut out and the left edge of the designer paper rectangle a bit.
Peel the protective backing off of the 1-7/8" Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the 2" Pool Party square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Peel the protective backing off of the 1-3/8" Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the 1-1/2" Pool Party square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out both detailed snowflakes dies from the Chic Dies. Put the large one on top of the large Pool Party square and the small one on top of the small Pool Party square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Pool Party (blue) sides are face up. Make sure the cardstock and dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick and/or Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the large snowflake cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the upper left side of the sentiment label cut out.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the small snowflake cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the bottom right side of the piece of net cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large, one medium, and one small jewel from the sheet of Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere the large jewel to the center of the solid snowflake, the medium jewel to the center of the large detailed snowflake, and the small jewel to the center of the small detailed snowflake.
