Sometimes you stare at something and then those voices in your head get to chattering and all of a sudden you have to drop everything else and see if you can make it real. That’s what happened with these. Very last minute. But good golly, Miss Molly, do I ever love the whole idea of these!

HOW TO:

• Die cut equal amounts of white and red tags (they have to match in shape/size or this doesn’t work well . . . just sayin’ . . . ) .

• Prep red tags with anti-static pouch then stamp and gold emboss sentiment; set aside.

• Position the small speech bubble die over the top of the white tag(s) and run through your die cutting machine (Purple Tape is your friend . . . ); result should resemble a “beard” shape.

• Secure beards to red tags with gold twine/cord.

• * BOOM *

And, that’s all I got to say about that. (wink)
