Prepare by downloading and opening the wordart and cluster frame.

Also have your scrapkit folder open for easier access.

Install the font, if you don't already have it. There are no filters

in this tut, so you don't have to worry about installing those.

Ready?!

Open a new 600 x 600 image.

Copy my cluster frame and paste as a new layer.

Using the selection tool - Set to circle - Draw out a circle

that's bigger than the inside of the frame.

Choose a paper from the kit, resized at 70% - Copy and paste

as new layer. Selections - Invert - Delete. KEEP SELECTED!

Move the paper layer below the frame layer.

Open the mouse and the brown bear from the kit.

First copy and paste the bear as a new layer. Move

him to the right of the tag (inside the frame)

Then copy and paste as new layer, the mouse.

Place her on the left side (inside the frame)

(You should still have the frame inside selected & inverted)

Merge down... the mouse to the bear. Duplicate and move the copy

above the tag. Go back to the bottom copy - hit delete.

Selections - Select none. Apply a drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 10 - Black

to the bottom tube layer. Also add the same drop shadow

to the frame.

Back to the top copy of the tube layer - Using your eraser tool,

Erase the bottom parts of the image. The legs, part of the bear's

heart, etc. When satisfied, open the puppy dog tube from the kit,

Resize him by 70% - Copy and paste as new layer. Arrange him

by the bottom of the cluster frame. Look at my tag for placement

ideas, if needed. Apply same drop shadow as before.

X out bottom layer - Merge visible - Resize just the image layer

to 550 x 550 pixels. Open a butterfly from the kit, resize

to your liking - (If using the one I used, resize 80% and mirror).

Apply drop shadow. Now we're going to add doodles. We'll add

them at the top....so we can see what we're doing and then move

the layer down when we're finished. With that being said...Open

the orange doodle first. Copy and paste as new layer.

Place on the right side of the tag - Duplicate -

Mirror - Merge down. Duplicate again - Flip - Merge down. There should

now be 4 of them making a 'square'.

Now let's take that brown doodle. Copy and paste as new layer.

Move to the left side of the tag - Duplicate - Mirror - Merge down.

Now merge this brown doodle layer down to the orange doodle. layer.

Resize just this layer by 95%.

Alrighty!! Almost done!! Un X the bottom layer and make active.

Select all - Choose a paper from the kit - Copy and Paste INTO

selection. Select none. Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image

Choose WSL_Mask259 - Apply. Merge group. Duplicate the mask

layer. Merge down. Now... if it's anything like mine, you'll have to move

your tag image just slightly - to center it with the mask. When

satisfied, merge visible. Copy and paste as new layer, my wordart.

I don't think you'll have to resize it, but do so, if needed.

That's it!! Now resize to your liking - Add your name and all copyright

info. Save as .png for a transparent background and .jpg for a white

background.

Ready?!

Let's start by opening a new 700 x 700 pixel image.

(I know it's large, we'll resize later)

Open one of the oval cluster frames from my download -

Copy and paste as new layer.  No need to resize, since

our canvas is so big.

Ok... I know the outer edge of the frame is tiny... hard

to get it all selected.  So.  Here's a way to do just that.

Make the bottom (empty) layer active - Go to your preshapes

tool.  Click on the little drop down arrow - Choose Ellipse.

Draw out your ellipse to match up with the frame.  It's easier

with the vector shapes, because you can always move the nodes

around to match up.  Look at my image below if I've confused you.

Once satisfied with your ellipse - Convert to raster layer.

Now - Select all - Float - Defloat - Choose a paper from the kit,

Resize 80% - Copy and paste as new layer.  Selections - Invert - Delete.

KEEP SELECTED and delete the bottom layer (the vector shape we

created).  Make sure your paper layer is active - Choose an image

for the background -  I chose the following elements for mine:

Tree - 80% - Hit delete to rid of excess outside of frame.

Star - 35% - Placed at top of tree - hit delete

Ornaments - 15% (as many or as little as you'd like)

I selected one of the gold diamonds from the splatter - copied

and pasted it in various spots on the tree... merely a choice.

Select none.  Add a drop shadow (to each of the layers)

of 0, 0, 80, 6 - Black.  X out the bottom layer and merge visible.

Open the tube from the kit, resize 75% - Mirror - Copy and paste

as new layer - Move her to the left side of the tag.

Add a drop shadow of 2, -2, 60, 10 - black.

Make the background layer active - Create a new vector - Ellipse -

Draw out an ellipse just a shade bigger than the frame image.

Once satisified, Using a script font of your choice -

write out "Merry".  X out the ellipse layer - Right click on vector

and create as raster layer.  Do the same for "Christmas".

Merge the two words together after placing them to your liking.

Effects - DSB Flux - bright noise - Intensity at 30 and mix checked.

Repeat one time.  Select all - Float - Defloat - Modify by 2 - Add

a new layer and fill with a dark green from the leaves on the cluster

frame.  Select none.  Move the dark green letters below the golden

ones.  Merge down - Drop shadow.  Make sure your "Merry Christmas"

layer is above the frame layer.  Merge visible.

Resize entire image to 500 x 500 Pixels (all layers checked)

Now resize the canvas to 600 x 600 pixels.

Copy your merged image and paste as new layer.

This will make sure the image is centered.

Ok..now for the background and masking!

Make the bottom layer active - If it's still X'd out,

un X it - select all - Choose a paper from the kit - Copy

and paste INTO selection.  Select none.

Layers - New Mask Layer - From Image - Choose

WSL_Mask167.  Apply and merge group.

Move the mask slightly down and to the right.

Apply the same DSB flux as before (repeat one time)

Open DBS_  - Resize 60% - Copy and paste as new

layer.  Move to the bottom left side of the tag (above

mask layer) Duplicate - Mirror - Flip.  Merge down.

Apply Drop shadow. Merge visible.  Crop opaque.

Resize to your liking - Add your name and all copyright

info.  Save as .png for a transparent background and .jpg for a white

background.

Thanks for stopping by to partake in my tut! :o)

First make sure you've got your filter and font installed.

Open the mask in your PSP and minimize for now.

Ok. Here we go!  Start by opening a new 700 x 700 pixel image.

I know it's large, but we'll need the space to work with.

Open the frames folder in the kit, choose one of the rectangle frames.

Rotate the frame Right - Clockwise - Copy and paste as new layer

onto your image.  Using your magic wand (feather and tolerance set to 0)

click inside the frame.  Selections - Modify - Expand by 3.

Now we're going to add a whole bunch of goodies to the inside

of the frame.  Keep selected until I tell ya' we're done.

(not trying to sound too demanding...lol)

I'll list for you, the items I used and what I did.

Please note... Instead of repeating constantly.... when you place

the elements, if they go beyond the frame, remember to hit

delete before moving onto the next element.

Shoe House - Resized 70% - Moved to top center

Bird - Resized 15% (Placed on pot at bottom of birdhouse)

Fence - Resized 50% - Duplicate and Arrange

Make sure to arrange all those elements to your liking.

Once satisfied, select none.  Apply a drop shadow of 2, -2, 50, 8 - Black

to each of those element layers.  Also give the frame the same

drop shadow. 

X out the bottom raster layer - Merge visible.  Now we won't get too confused

with the layers. :o)  I used a couple more elements above

the frame, which I'll list for you now.

Flowers - 35%

Dragonfly - 20%

Lizard - (He's so cute!!) 40%

Drop shadow each of those layers.

Now choose one of the cookie posers from the kit.

Resize her at 60% - Copy and paste as new layer.

I put mine to the left of the lizard and just below.

(Move the tube layer below the lizard layer).

Give her the same drop shadow we've been using.

Merge visible. (Your bottom raster should still be X'd out)

Alrighty.  Now let's dress up the backside of the tag!! :o)

Grab the color splatter from the kit, no need to resize -

Copy and paste as new layer - Arrange to the bottom right of

the tag, Duplicate - Mirror - Flip - Merge down.

Move this layer just above the X'd out raster.

Now let's take the green bead spill - No need to resize -

corner.  Duplicate - Mirror - Flip - Merge down and apply

drop shadow.  Phew!!

Make sure the bottom layer is still X'd out.  Merge visible.

Resize image to 500 x 500 pixels. *All layers unchecked*
