- 2-1/4" x 4" of gold cardstock from Brushed Metallic 12" x 12" Cardstock

Pick out the four smallest open star dies from the Stitched Stars Dies. Put them on top of the 2-3/4" X 4" Daffodil Delight rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces. Keep all the stars. Repeat with the 2-3/4" x 4" Pacific Point rectangle and keep all the stars.
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the 2-3/8" x 4-5/8" Adhesive Sheets rectangles. Adhere one Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" Daffodil Delight rectangle and the other Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" Pacific Point rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the three smallest detailed star dies from the Stitched Stars Dies. Put them on top of the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" Daffodil Delight rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Daffodil Delight (yellow) side is face up. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces. Keep all the stars. Repeat with the 2-1/2" x 4-3/4" Pacific Point rectangle making sure the Pacific Point (blue) side is face up and keep all the stars.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the star cut outs on the horizontal white rectangle so the blue stars are on the top half and the yellow stars are on the bottom half and they all overlap a bit to figure out placement. Once happy with the placement, adhere the stars in place one at a time. Use Stampin' Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the solid stars in place. Peel the protective backings off the detailed stars to adhere them in place.
Adhere the white rectangle to the front of the Pacific Point card.
Peel the protective backing off of the 2-1/8" x 3-7/8" Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the gold Brushed Metallic Cardstock rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the "you matter" die from the Here For You Dies. Put it on top of the gold Brushed Metallic rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the metallic side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces
Carefully remove the protective backing from the "you matter" cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card so it is centered over the field of stars.
