Can a level 2 story summoner with the harrowed summoning feat draw three cards and apply the bonuses and a template to a summoned monster?

Harrowed Summoning

Benefit: When you cast a conjuration (summoning) spell or use a spell-like ability to summon one or more creatures, you can draw two random cards from a complete harrow deck you own. Doing so adds both a somatic component (if the spell does not already have one) and a focus component (the harrow deck) to the spell, but does not increase the spell’s casting time. For the duration of the spell, each summoned creature gains a +4 enhancement bonus to the corresponding ability scores of the drawn card’s suits. If both cards are the same suit, each summoned creature gains a +6 bonus to that ability score instead. If either card’s alignment is a true match for the summoned creatures’ alignment, the duration of the spell is doubled, while drawing an opposite match halves the duration of the spell. If both a true match and an opposite match are drawn, the spell’s duration is unchanged.

A creature summoned in this way is distinctly altered by the cards drawn. Its physical appearance ref lects the visual elements of the cards (for example, a creature summoned with The Publican might have only one eye). The creature’s personality is also inf luenced by the cards, but not so much as to alter its alignment (for example, The Snakebite might summon a creature that likes to gossip)

Summon Arcana: At 2nd level, a story summoner can use a complete harrow deck he owns as an additional focus component for his summon monster spell-like ability. When he does so, the summoner draws a random card from the deck and applies a simple template to the summoned monster based on the card’s alignment: celestial (any good), fiendish (any evil), resolute (any lawful), or entropic (any chaotic). If a card has more than one alignment—such as a lawful evil or chaotic good card—the summoner can choose which template to apply to the summoned creature. This ability allows a story summoner to summon and command creatures normally prohibited by their alignment. This ability replaces bond senses.

Not PFS specific.

Your question is a bit confusing, so I won't answer with yes or no.

The abilities trigger separately, first you would draw cards for one ability (and presumably shuffle them back into the deck) and then draw cards for the other ability. You draw two cards for Harrowed Summoning, and one card for the summon arcana ability.

Thank you! Sorry, yes I was asking if they stacked.
