- card from Lost Lagoon Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3" x 3-3/4" from Pretty Peacock Cardstock

- 1-1/4" square Pretty Peacock shimmer paper from Soft Shimmer 12" x 12" Paper Combo Pack
- 2 square each 1" square from Pool Party Cardstock
- 1" square from Lost Lagoon Cardstock
Pick out the piece of net die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the large Pretty Peacock rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine several 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 "wishing you abundant joy & peace" sentiment from the Perched In A Tree Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Lost Lagoon Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the horizontal 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" white rectangle.
Put the sentiment stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Mount the bunch of loose dots image from the Perched In A Tree Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad and stamp it all over the white rectangle. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the large Pool Party rectangle.
Lay the net cut out piece on the front of the card as shown on the left side. Adhere the matted sentiment rectangle to the front of the card so it overlaps the net cut out and holds it in place and is centered top to bottom and slightly closer to the right edge.
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 Lost Lagoon Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Pick out the matching, open snowflake die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the stamped snowflake on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the Lost Lagoon square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the large-sized detailed snowflake die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the Lost Lagoon square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the blue (Lost Lagoon) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Pick out the medium-sized detailed snowflake die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the Pretty Peacock shimmer paper square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Pick out both of the small-sized, detailed snowflake dies from the Chic Dies. Put them on top of the 2 small Pool Party squares on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies and the cardstock do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Leave one of the small-sized, detailed snowflake dies out.
Put the small-sized, detailed snowflake die on top of the small Lost Lagoon square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the three larger snowflake cut outs on the left side of the sentiment rectangle on the card front to figure out spacing and placement. When happy, adhere the pieces in place one at a time. Peel the protective backing off the Lost Lagoon detailed snowflake to adhere it in place. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the stamped snowflake cut out in place. Use a tiny dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen in the center of the Pretty Peacock shimmer paper snowflake to the upper right side of the solid, stamped snowflake cut out.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the three small snowflake cut outs in place as shown so one of each color are in the lower right corner of the stamped sentiment rectangle and overlap slightly and the other Pool Party one is in the center of the detailed Lost Lagoon snowflake cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large, 1 medium, and 3 small jewels from a sheet of Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the snowflakes as shown.
