Mount the "you're doing" sentiment from the Amazing Phrasing Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the vertical 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle as close to the top and left edges as possible.
Mount the "amazing" sentiment from the Amazing Phrasing Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it just below the stamped "you're doing" sentiment in the upper left corner. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the "amazing" sentiment on Block H with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" horizontal white rectangle in the bottom half. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away.
Mount the "woo hoo!" sentiment from the Amazing Phrasing Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the vertical 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle as close to the bottom and right edges as possible. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the "woo hoo!" sentiment on Block H with the Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad. Stamp it just above the stamped "amazing" sentiment on the small white rectangle so the left sides are even. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away.
Mount the "you did it!" sentiment from the Amazing Phrasing Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it just above the previously stamped "woo hoo!" on the large white rectangle.
