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, then use the same supplies I have used. This tutorial assumes you have some knowledge

of paint shop pro. Any resemblance to any other tag or tutorial is completely coincidental.

 

Supplies Used:

Tube is by Laguna and can purchased at Pics for Design. https://picsfordesign.com/catalogue/id_134275_girl_with_pekingese.pix

You must have a license to use this image.

Scrap kit is by Wicked Diabla Designs. You can purchase this kit at her store. https://wickeddiabladesigns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_16_73&products_id=3708

 

Font of your choice. I am using Black Palkons

 

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

Penta Color Dot

 

Let's Begin:

Open a blank canvas that will give you plenty of room to work with. I use 900x900 and then crop and resize when I am done.

Open a paper of your choice from the kit. I am using paper #5. Set this as your foreground color. Turn off your background color.

Using your rectangle preset shape tool with the width set to 15 draw out a rectangle to the size you would like.

Now lets create a gradient with 2 colors from our tube or paper I am using purple and yellow. Create a gradient out of the 2 colors and set it as either your foreground or background color. In this case it does not matter.  If you don’t want to do this or are not sure how then use any gradient of your choice. Using your magic wand select the inside of your frame. Selections modify and expand by 5. You should already have an empty layer under frame so floodfill this layer with your gradient. Selections select none. Duplicate the gradient layer. Adjust Blur Gaussian blur set to 7.00. Change the property layers of this top gradient layer to screen. Using the penta color dot filter apply this filter with whatever settings you choose. I like mine fairly light so I set my top value to 29.

Merge your 2 gradient layers together.

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

Resize to a size you are happy with. I left mine just slightly larger than the rectangle layer.

Remember once you resize we will want to sharpen it so go to Adjust Sharpen Unsharp Mask with the following settings:

Move your tube to wherever you would like it placed on your tag. Mine is to the far right side.

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:

24

27

31

32

40

57

Now I did turn mine into a 3 piece forum set. You can do this also. Its very simple. Take the elements you used on the tag and even other ones from the kit if you want to and make a smaller banner. Then of course an avatar.

Add your copyright and licensing information. Crop and resize as you would like.

Thanks for trying my tutorial.

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, then 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 Vadis. You can purchase this tube at http://picsfordesign.com

Scrap Kit is by Wicked Diabla Designs. It is called ScrapWD_IB-MartinAbel-47-3. You can purchase this kit at www.cdoestore.com

Mask of your choice. I am using a great mask by Vix. I mean who doesn’t love Vix  masks right?? This is her MaskHalloween2012-8NotHallow mask. You can find her awesome masks at https://vixpsp.blogspot.com/

Font of your choice. I am using Baby Girl Display.

Animation of your choice. I am using a heavy snowfall animation by Simone at Scrappy Bit Of Fun. It is part of her Winter Season 2020 animation pack. You can find all of her awesome animations at http://scrappybitoffun.blogspot.ca

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

NONE

 

Let's Begin:

Open a blank canvas large enough to give you plenty of room to work with. You can crop and resize your tag when you are done if you wish.

Flood fill the canvas with white. I like to do this because it allows me to see everyone on the canvas as I am creating my tag. I delete this layer when I am all done.

Open frame 2 from the kit and copy and paste as a new layer on what we will call your working canvas from here on out. Resize the frame so that is the size you wish. This will be your backdrop for your tag.

Using your magic wand select the inside of the 4 sections of the window frame. Selections modify expand and expand by 5.

Layers new raster layer and drag under  your frame.

Open paper 1 from the kit and copy and paste into selection. Selections select none.

You should still have this paper in your clipboard so go ahead and paste it again and drag to the bottom. Resize if you wish.

Apply your mask. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize the tube to  your liking. Position in front of the window frame where you like. Mine is not quite center but almost.

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:

2

22

Add your name. Add your copyright and licensing information.

Crop and resize if you wish.

Now lets get ready to animate.

Open animation shop and then open the animation you are going to use.

Resize if you need to.

Select all frames. Take note of the amount of frames in the animation.

Now back to psp delete the white layer.

Merge together all of the layers EXCEPT the mask layer and the paper layer that fills the window frame.

Now you should have 3 layers.

Hide the layer that you just created merging all of the elements and tube together.

Edit copy merged.

Open animation shop and right click and paste as a new animation.

This should be your mask layer and the paper layer.

Duplicate the frames to match the amount of frames in your animation.

Select all frames in your tag.

Grab frame #1 from the animation and drag it onto frame #1 of the tag. Do not let go until you get it into place where you want it. If you accidentally misplace it you can undo and do the same steps over again until you get it right where you want it.

Once that is all in place go back to psp and copy the layer with your tube and all of the elements on it.

Back to animation shop. Right click and paste as a new animation. Duplicate to match the amount of frames in your animated tag. Select all frames.

Again drag frame #1 onto frame #1 of the animated tag.

Once that is all in place then view your animation to make sure you are happy with everything.

Optimize your tag and save.

Thanks for trying my tutorial.

Move this layer under the pentagram layer.

On the top layer go to adjust blur gausian blur and set it to 10.

Change the properties of this layer to screen.

Add a slight drop shadow to the bottom layer.

Open paper 12. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize by 75%. Drag to the bottom. Apply the mask of your choice. Delete the mask layer and merge the group.

Add a drop shadow to the top pentagram layer.

Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to the frame layer.

Open your tube.

Copy and paste as a new layer.

Now I chose to have mine look like she was coming out of the frame so to achieve this I duplicated my tube layer and dragged one under the frame layer. So you should have tube frame tube again in your layer palette. Make your top tube layer active and using your eraser tool erase the bits you want so in my case I erased her leg area so the bow on the frame would be on top.

Add a drop shadow to your tube.

Open element 8 and copy and paste as a new layer.

*THIS IS A SCRAP ONLY TAG*

 

Supplies Used:

Scrap Kit is by Wicked Diabla Designs. It is called Unicorn PJ. You can purchase it at www.wickeddiabladesigns.com

Font of your choice. I am using 2 Peas Mister Giggles

Plugins: (plugins are most generally optional)

Mura Meister Copies - Encircle

Let's Begin:

Open element 7 and shift+D to duplicate. Close the original. Make your canvas the size you want it to be to work with. Make sure you give  yourself plenty of working space.

Resize this element pretty small. I went 50% 2x and then 60%. Adjust sharpness-sharpen.

Open Mura Meister copies and select the encircle option.

Use the settings I have used below:

Open element 73. Copy and paste as a new layer. Again resize pretty small. I went 50% 2x and then 70%.

Again apply the Mura Meister copies – Encircle. Use the same settings as above. You will notice once you do this it will be pretty large so just resize to the size you want so it just peeks out from behind your first frame. I did 85% and then 95% to get it how I wanted it.

Duplicate this bottom frame layer. Apply Adjust Blur Gaussian Blur at 10. Change the property layer to Overlay. Apply Effects Texture Effects Blinds 2x using the settings below:

Make your top frame layer active. This should be the candy layer. Using your magic wand select the inside of the frame and go to Selections Modify Expand by 6. Layers new raster layer and drag under the candy frame layer.

Open paper 9 and copy and paste into selection.

Selections select none.

Add a drop shadow of your choice to the candy frame layer.

Open element 90. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize to where its just smaller than the frames.

Place somewhere near the middle of your frame. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 15 and resize. Not too small. You can use my tag as a reference point. Place on the right side of your tag. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 12. Copy and paste as a new layer and resize to a pretty small size. Again you can use my tag a s reference. Place at the top of the rainbow but more to the left side just a bit. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 3 and copy and paste as a new layer. Resize again and again not too small. More like the size you did the first one. Place at the bottom left of the tag. Add a drop shadow.

Open element 8. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize again. Not too small on this first one. But just slightly larger than the unicorn laying down. Drag under the laying unicorn and position so it looks like she is laying on it. Add a drop shadow.

Duplicate this cloud layer and resize again fairly small. I went 50% of the first one. Drag under the layer with the unicorn standing. Position under her feet so it looks like she is standing on it.

 

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:

Add your name.

Crop and resize if you wish.

If you want to make a 3 piece set like mine they are simple to make. Create an avatar and to make a banner I just take elements I used in the tag make them smaller and arrange them how I want.
