Let's Begin:

Open paper 8 from the kit. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Re-size as needed/wanted. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. I added a slight drop shadow to the mask layer to help it stand out just a bit more but this is completely up to you.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until she is just slightly larger than the mask layer. Add a drop shadow.

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.

Duplicate and drag to the animated tag. Once you are done view your completed animated tag. If you are happy optimize and save.

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 Alehandra Vanhek. She is called Mechanical Heart. You can purchase her at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113_499&products_id=25672

The scrap kit is by Disturbed Scraps. It is called Mechanical Hearts. You can purchase it at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25761

Mask of your choice. I am using one by Kisses and Dreams. You can get it at http://kissesndreams.blogspot.ca/2015/01/freebie-heart-mask.html

Font of your choice. I am using Steamwreck which you can download at http://www.fontspace.com/pixel-sagas/steamwreck

Plugins:

NONE

Let's Begin:

Open paper 3 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Promote the background layer to a raster layer. Apply the mask. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. Add a drop shadow of 0 0 100 11.50 and the dark color from the paper. Open paper 14 and repeat but when adding your drop shadow use a purple from the paper. Move this mask down and to the right a bit.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed so she is just larger than the mask layers. Move to the right side more so than the left. Duplicate the tube layer. On the top copy go to adjust blur Gaussian blur and apply a blur of 11. Lower the opacity of this layer to 45. Add a drop shadow to the bottom tube layer of 6 -5 100 10.50 black.

Now we are going to put some text on a path. Using your elipse preset shape. Set your foreground color to whatever color you like. It doesn’t matter as we will delete this layer anyhow. Turn off the background color. Set the width of the elipse shape to 1.00. Draw out a circle around the outside edges of the mask layer. 

Now select the font you want to use and the color or I used paper 7 for mine. Place your text tool up on the elipse shape until you get the A with the line under it and then begin typing whatever it is you want. I placed part of my text around the top left side and then I wanted some along the bottom so I flipped my elipse shape vertical. This will turn the text right side up. And placed the rest of my text along the bottom. Promote your text layers to a raster layer. Add a drop shadow. Delete the elipse shape layer when you are done.

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.

Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.

Supplies Used:

Tube of your choice. Preferably one with a close up but if not I will show you how to make it work without a close-up. I am using a tube by Very Many Tubes called Elsie. You can purchase this tube at http://verymanytubes.com/

I am using a freebie scrap kit by Gina’s Gems Scraps. It is called Chocolate Cherries Add On. You can get it at http://ginasgemsscraps.blogspot.ca/2012/05/chocolate-cherries-free-add-on.html

Mask of your choice. I am using mask# 351 by Insatiable Dreams. You can find her masks at http://insatiabledreams.net

Font of your choice. I am using 2Peas Fragile. This is a PTU font.

Plugins:

NONE

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 55 12.00 black

Let's Begin:

Open paper 9 from the kit. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Re-size if you wish. Promote your background layer to a raster layer. 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 will be able to crop and/or re-size when you are finished.

Open paper 4 from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Apply the same mask again. Delete the mask layer and merge the group. Re-size this mask by 80%. Move down and to the right a little bit. Selections select all float and defloat. Now open the close-up of your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Position in the selected area. Selections invert and hit delete. Selections select none. **If you do not have a close up then use your tube and once you copy and paste as a new layer you can re-size greater than 100% to help it fill the selected area** Adjust hue and saturation colorize and set both values to 0. Add a drop shadow.

Open  your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size as needed. Position in the center of the masks near the bottom. Not all the way to the bottom. Add a drop shadow to your tube.

Open the GGS-CandyWrappers from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until appropriate with the tube that you used. Place over to the far right. Add a drop shadow.

Open GGS_Tree from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size until appropriate with your tube and tag. Move behind your tube and to the far left. Mine is just above her shoulders. Add a drop shadow.

Open GGS_TornHeart from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size. Image free rotate to the right 24 degrees. Adjust sharpness sharpen. Move to the bottom right slightly in front of the candy wrappers to the right of them. Add a drop shadow.

Open GGS_Heart cherries from the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size. Place along the bottom with the other elements. Mine is over near her hand. Add a drop shadow.

Open GGS_Hortensia flower from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size. I placed 2 of these on my tag. One is behind her legs at the far right and its larger. I then duplicated it and re-sized this duplicate and placed it along the bottom behind the cupcake with cherries. Add a drop shadow to both of them.

Open GGS_cupcake. Copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size. Place along the bottom with the other elements. Mine is over behind the heart cherries but to the right of them. Add a drop shadow.

Open GSS_Rolled bloomie from the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer. Again re-size. Move to the bottom with the other elements mine is between the 2 cupcakes. Add a drop shadow.

Now that you have most everything placed we are going to add a ribbon/bow to the tag that will take a little work. Open the GGS_Satin Bow wrap from the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer and drag down to just above your tube in your layer palette. Now re-size so it is just longer/larger than your tube on both sides. Now lower the opacity of the ribbon so you can see your tube through it. Using your eraser set on a size that is comfortable for you and zoom in if you need to but erase any bits of the ribbon that are NOT on your tube just at the sides. Be careful to not erase any of the bow. You can keep raising the opacity to check your work if you need to. Once you are done and happy add a drop shadow.

Add your name to your tag.

Add your copyright and licensing information.

Crop and Re-size if you wish.

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 of your choice. I am using a tube by Mariel Designs called Perfect Love. She was created for the Perfect Love Collab at Scraps N Company. You can get this entire collab free with your $13.50 purchase. Check out the collab at http://scrapsncompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=587_144&products_id=25373

The scrap kit I used is also called Perfect Love and is by Chili Designz. This kit is also part of the awesome collab.

Font of your choice. I am using Saldina. This is a PTU font.

Plugins:

NONE

Drop shadow used throughout:

0 0 30 3.00 black

Let's Begin:

Open frame 2 from the kit. Shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Re-size if you wish. Make your canvas large enough to work with. Using your magic wand select the inside of all sections of the frame. Selections modify and expand by 5. Layers new raster layer and drag under the frame. Open paper 1 and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none. Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Re-size until she is just barely bigger than the frame. Move to where she is standing between the main part of the frame and the 2 smaller parts to the right. Add a drop shadow.

Open the floor element from the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer. Drag to the bottom. Move to the bottom of the frame as we are going to make the tube stand on it.  Re-size until it just slightly larger than the frame on both sides. Now if you notice there are some pretty sharp lines and angles and we want to get rid of those. There are 2 ways you can do this. Use your eraser tool and set your hardness down to about 25 and the opacity to about 4. The size to medium to large and just around the edge and erase some of the bits and get rid of the straightness. The second way is to use your freehand selection tool set to freehand and just draw around the edges in an imperfect manner. Selections invert and hit delete. You can use your eraser again to get rid of any sharpness or you can use your soften tool. Just check out the tools in psp they are pretty handy.

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.
