Written 1/2/2017

This tutorial is meant purely as a guide. Feel free to use your own choice of tube or scrap kit to make your tag unique. If you want your tag to look just like mine them use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have a knowledge of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.

Supplies Used:

Tube is by Lysisange. It is called Sweet Xmas and can be purchased at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_562&products_id=24850

The beautiful matching scrap kit is by Lil Mz Brainstorms. It is also called Sweet Xmas and can be purchased at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24868

Mask of your choice. I am using mask #9 by Weescotslass Creations. You can get her masks at http://weescotslasscreations.blogspot.com/2009/04/masks.html

Font of your choice. I am using 1 Bean Sprout DNA. This is a PTU font. If you do not have it use any other font.

Plugins:

Eye Candy Nature Snowdrift  (optional)

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 60 8.00 #404040

Let's Begin:

Open paper 15 from the kit. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Re-size the paper if you wish. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Make your canvas large enough to give you plenty of room to work with. You can resize and crop when you are finished.

At this point I like to add my tube to the tag just so I can play around with the placement of the other elements that I choose to use. Open your tube. Copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed. Place wherever you wish on the tag. This is your tag so make it unique. It doesn’t have to look just like mine unless you absolutely want it to.

Now let’s dress the tag up with elements from the kit. I will list the elements I used. Feel free to use other elements to make your tag unique. Placement of the elements is completely up to you. If you want your tag to look just like mine then use my tag for reference.

Elements I used:
