WITHOUT adhering, lay the 1-3/4" x 5-1/8" piece of Gingham Gala Designer Paper on the bottom of the large white piece of cardstock.
Mount the "little one" sentiment from the Animal Outing Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle about 3/8" above the top of the designer paper and about 1-1/4" from the right side of the white rectangle.
Mount the "welcome" sentiment from the Animal Outing Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle just above the previously stamped sentiment.

Adhere the stamped white/designer paper layer to the large Daffodil Delight rectangle.
Cut a 6" piece of the Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon.

Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add SNAIL to the back of the Daffodil Delight rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Balmy Blue card.
