As you are ready to stamp using the Day To Celebrate Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.

Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the image go off the edges of the rectangle. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Pierce Mat, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the confetti image on Block B with the Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the Balmy Blue rectangle filling in any empty spaces. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the image go off the edges of the rectangle. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Adhere the stamped Balmy Blue rectangle to the center of the large Gorgeous Grape rectangle and then to the front of the Blueberry Bushel card.
