Once my tags were cut, I simply stamped them with my metal stamps, tapping ever so gently with my hammer. (Because the metal here is so thin, any vigorous hammering will make a hole in your tag, so tread softly.)
Here is a sneak of the project I was working on when I dreamed up this idea. (Stay tuned for the full project later this month!) Would anyone ever believe this stylish little tag started out life as a beverage can? Let’s let it be our little secret, shall we?

Dee says
AHH! Love this!! I am getting tired of stamping the same things over an over. Where the edges sharp after it was cut? xo, Dee From Wine to Whine
Amy @ Positively Splendid says
The way the dies cut on my machine, the edges where a bit rounded, and not too sharp. So glad you like this idea! 🙂
