This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to make your tag unique by using your own choice of tube and scrap kit. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use the same supplies that I have used.

Supplies Used:

Tag template by LindaNM Rawkin Designs. You can download it at http://nmrawkindesigns.blogspot.com/2013/11/snowflake-templet.html

Font of your choice. I am using John Hancock Regular. You can get it at http://fontzone.net/font-details/johnhancock-regular

Plugins:

Eye Candy 5 Nature Snow Drift

Let's Begin:

Open your tag template and shift+D to duplicate.

Close the original.

Delete the background layer.

Make your canvas large enough to work with.

Using the papers from the kit fill each of the layers.

After you have each layer filled then add a slight drop shadow to each layer.

I use

1 -1 100 2.50 black

Then apply the snow drift plugin with the following settings.

Apply this on every layer of the template.

Add the drop shadow again to all of the layers.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer.

Re-size as needed.

Move to the far right side of the template.

Add a drop shadow.

Open element 7 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Re-size and place along the bottom behind your tube but peeking out.

Duplicate a few times and place along the bottom of the template.

Add the snow drift plugin.

Apply a drop shadow.

Open element 14 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Re-size.

Image flip horizontal.

Move to the far left side of the template and drag down under the main oblong layer of the template.

Add a drop shadow and apply the snow drift plugin.

Duplicate and move down and to the right a bit.

Open element 26 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Re-size so it fits within the oblong layer of the template.

Add a drop shadow.

Open element 41 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Drag down under your tube and move to the bottom.

Apply the snow drift plugin and add a drop shadow.

Open element 99 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Drag down to just above your template.

Re-size so it fits over the top of the template.

Open element 104 and copy and paste as a new layer.

Re-size and move down to below the garland and to the left side of the tag.

Add a drop shadow and the snow drift plugin.

Add your name.

Add your copyright and licensing information.

Crop and save.
