(Assembly notes for the tags begins in Step 12.)
ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A card base B mug base/handle C mug overlay
D foam/bubbles overlays
E root beer cheers assembly: base, cheers, letters
F optional interior gift card holder (shown with card)
the three largest shapes by their order numbers
that are cut into the shapes. This one is #2.
3. Here are the shapes to overlay in order from
#1 (bottom) to top individual bubble circles.
4. Position shape #2 on top of #1 with
edges aligned where they match up.
and glue in place.
Add shape #3 on top of assembly.
Add the next largest shape (welded five bubbles)
on the left , then . . .
. . . add the three-circle shape on left and two-circle
shape on right. Finally add the single circles.
Assist the multi-layered, glued up shape to stay flat
while the liquid adhesive is drying completely by
pressing flat with a heavy flat object such as this
muslin-covered repurposed free weight bar,
for several hours if possible.
5. Prepare the card base by folding along the left-edge
perforation.
6. Position the mug overlay onto the mug base
and attach, then . . .
. . . position and attach the mug assembly onto
the card base front, with edges offset as shown.
7. Position and attach the foam/bubbles assembled
shape onto the top of the card front, with top edge
positioned to have offset along top edges,
and to overlap the mug top edge.
8. Prepare the words assembly by positioning
and attaching the "root beer" letters onto the
base (NOTE that in the final file, the 'O's' are
hollowed out). Then . . .
. . . position and attach the 'cheers' word cut over
the base (to cover the base shape completely.

Alternate positioning is higher up by punching
an attachment hole in the farthest-left
individual bubble circle - through all layers.
DAD Tags Pair Assembly:
12. Identify and cut the shapes for the larger tag
at left, or the smaller oval tag, right.
(NOTE that the larger tag may be too large
to use with the Root Beer Cheers card.)
