  10. Die cut the tag shape on the mint macaron cardstock.  The die is larger than your piece of cardstock.  That’s okay once you run it through the first time, you are going to run it back through being careful to align the bottom of the die with the bottom of the paper so that the stitching goes all around.  
  11. Adhere your hear and leaves to the tag and tie a bow through the top hole.
  12. This “tag” will be adhered using dimensional to the left flap of your card making sure to only use dimensional across top and left sides because the right flap will. Have to tuck in under the bottom right corner.
