Cut cardstock and Glimmer Paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pool Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"

- scrap of Pool Party Cardstock at least 2-1/2" long
As you are ready to stamp using the So Many Stars Photopolymer 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 set of 5 filigree stars image from the So Many Stars Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Silvery Shimmer Delicata Ink Pad. Stamp it at an angle across the Night of Navy rectangle so the largest star is on the right side and the smaller star just to the right of it is about 1" from the top and 3/4" from the right side and the medium star on the left end is about 2" from the top and about 5/8" from the left side.
Tip: The Delicata Metallic Inks dry almost instantly, so no need to heat set or wait for them to dry.
Mount the single, smaller filigree star image on Block B. Ink it up with the Silvery Shimmer Delicata Ink Pad. Stamp it three times onto the Night of Navy rectangle as shown. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Tip: The Delicata Metallic Inks dry almost instantly, so no need to heat set or wait for them to dry.
Pick out the swirls and stars die from the Stitched Stars Dies. Put it on top of the rectangle of Silver Glimmer Paper on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Save the big swirls and stars piece, a small star cut out, a medium star cut out, and the fat swirl cut out.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the silver glimmer paper stars and swirls cut out over the top of the stamped grouping of stars on the Night of Navy rectangle so the stamped stars show through the cut outs.
Adhere the stamped Night of Navy rectangle to the front of the Pool Party card.
Mount the large filigree star image from the So Many Stars Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Silvery Shimmer Delicata Metallic Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pool Party square.
Tip: The Delicata Metallic Inks dry almost instantly, so no need to heat set or wait for them to dry.
Pick out the filigree star die that cuts out a star that is 2-1/8" wide from the Stitched Stars Dies. Put it on top of the stamped star image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the star is centered. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Pick out the open, stitched, star die that cuts out a star that is 2-1/8" wide from the Stitched Stars Dies. Put it on top of the So Saffron square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Tip: You may have to press fairly firmly along the edges of the die to pop the cut out loose.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the filigree Pool Party star cut out to the center of the So Saffron solid star cut out.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered star cut outs to the front of the card so they overlap the bottom left side of the silver glimmer paper stars and swirls cut out.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Itty Bitty Greetings Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the scrap of Pool Party cardstock.
Cut out the sentiment using Paper Snips so there is an angle at the right side of the sentiment and a bit of cardstock to the left of the sentiment.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the sentiment strip cut out to the front of the card so it sticks out from the right side of the layered stars cut outs.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the glimmer paper star cut outs to the card front as shown.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the glimmer paper fat swirl cut out to the front of the card so it sticks out from the lower left point of the layered star cut outs.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up one medium and two small rhinestones from a sheet of Rhinestone Basic Jewels being sure to get the adhesives as well. Adhere the medium one to the center of the layered stars cut outs and the two small ones in the upper right and lower left corners of the card front.
