Adhere the matted strips of designer paper to the front of the Bermuda Bay card.
Mount the "driving by just to say hi" sentiment from the Driving By Set on Block B. Use the brush tip of the Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker (regular marker) to ink up only the words "Driving By." Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment on one end of the long, horizontal white rectangle leaving room to punch it out. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave the stamp on the block.
Use the brush tip of the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker (regular marker) to ink up only the words "just to say" in the sentiment on Block B. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment on the other end of the long, horizontal white rectangle leaving room to punch it out.
Use the fine tip of the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker (regular marker) to add three little dots to the end of the "just to say" sentiment.
Unlock the Cloud Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the "driving by" sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area with the sentiment slightly closer to the top. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.

Mount the convertible with balloons image from the Driving By Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining smaller white rectangle.
