Alrighty people you should already have the mask you've chosen to use open in your PSP... as well as installed the font of your choice.

With that being said....let's start this!!

Open a new 600 x 600 pixel image.  Select all - Add a new layer - Choose

a paper from the kit, Copy and Paste INTO selection.  Select none.

Layer - New Mask Layer - Choose your mask, Apply.  Merge group.  My mask was large, so I resized it 85%... you may need to do the same, depending on your mask.  Play with the sizing a bit.  I also duplicated and flipped my mask to make it even outside my image.

Now let's grab DBS_Frame10 - Resize by 70%

Copy and paste as new layer - Then Image - Rotate - Free rotate 90 degrees

to either direction.  With your frame layer active - Take your magic wand and click inside the frame - Selections - Modify by 5.  Choose another paper from the kit, resize 60% - Copy and paste as new layer.  Move the paper layer below the frame layer (KEEP SELECTED!)  We're going to add our tube now, while we've still got this area selected.  Choose one of the tubes from the kit, I chose DBS_medi_ellablue2 - Resize her at 60% - Copy and paste as new layer.  Selections - Invert - Delete.  Select none.  Apply a drop shadow

of 2, -2, 70, 10 to both the frame and tube layers.

Make your frame layer active - Paste your tube again - Align this tube layer with the bottom tube layer and erase all the parts of her that go beyond the frame at the bottom of the tag.  Close out the bottom layer and merge visible to this point.  I have a feeling you're doing great out there! :o)

Now let's add some awesome elements!!

Choose one of the lace bows from the kit... I chose DBS_Lacebow05 - Resize 60% Copy and paste as new layer.  Arrange to the top left of the tag, kind of on the corner of the frame.  Grab DBS_RoseCluster02 - Resize 45% - Copy and paste as new layer and arrange above the lace bow, on the corner of the frame.  Apply drop shadow above to both of those element layers.

You can merge again now, if you'd like.

K... now let's grab DBS_MagicWand - Resize 60% - Copy and paste as new layer Mirror the image and arrange to the bottom right of the tag.  Apply drop shadow.  Now grab DBS_HorseCarriage01 - Resize 60% - Copy and paste as a new layer - Arrange to the bottom of your tag... Look at my tag if you need to.  Apply the drop shadow.  Just for added "oomph", I placed DBS_Sparkles02

On the background part of my tag and erased the outside bits.

Now resize your image 500 X 500 pixels (all layers checked).

Make your canvas size 600 x 600.  This is just to ensure that our wordart

and name will have plenty room to be added!! :o)

Open my wordart - Resize 70% - Copy and paste as new layer and move to the top of the tag.  Apply drop shadow.  (If you chose to use another wordart, that's ok too)  Now add your name - Give it the same drop shadow as

we've been using throughout the tut.  Merge visible - Crop out the extra.

Resize to your liking.... Add ALL copyright info and save as .png for a transparent background and .jpg for a white background.

I hope you enjoyed this tut and it wasn't too confusing to you!!

Thanks :o)

Ready?!

Open whatever mask you want to use in your PSP and minimize it for use

later.  Also install the font and whatever plugins before opening your PSP.

Alright... Let's start by opening a new 600 x 600 Pixel (Transparent) image.

Open a frame from the kit, I chose the brown one, resize 50% - Copy

and paste as a new layer. Resize again by 80%. Image - Rotate - Free rotate - Right 90. Using your deform tool, give it a slight angle to the left.

Duplicate - Mirror.  Now you should have two frames.

Ok...now open one of the vines from the kit, I chose tp-flower vine3

Resize 45% - Copy and paste as a new layer.  Move to the center

of the two frames, look at my tag if needed.  Apply a drop shadow

of 3, -3, 50, 10 - Black.   We'll be using that same shadow throughout

the tut, so keep it handy!! :o)  Now open another vine, I chose tp-flower

vine5 - Resize 40% - Copy and paste as new layer - Mirror and arrange

to your liking above the other vine.  Again, look at my tag if you need to.

Apply the same drop shadow as before.

In case you're wondering, we're making a cluster ;o)

Ok. Now... let's open one of the doodles. I chose tp-doodle3 -

Resize 40% - Copy and paste as new layer. Duplicate - Mirror -

Flip. Merge down.  Place to your liking above the vine layers. Apply same

drop shadow as before.  Lookin' good... lookin' good!

To finish off our cluster, we need to add a pretty flower... I chose tp-flower11

Resized 40% - Copy and paste right in the middle of the cluster.

Of course, you'll just have to eyeball it, no one's perfect!!

Apply the same drop shadow.  Close out both the frames

and merge visible.  Phew! Nice cluster ya' got there!!

Ok. On with the tag!  Make one of the frame layers active - Using your magic wand, click inside one of the frames - Selections - modify by 3.

Choose a paper from the kit, I chose tp-paper11 (and tp-paper6)

Resize the paper at 60% - Copy and paste as new layer - Move it below

the frame layer - Selections - Invert - Delete.  Select none.

Apply Entrelacement with the settings below:

Apply.  Do the same for the other frame layer.

Apply the drop shadow we used above to both frame layers.

For each of the frame backgrounds, this is merely a choice...

I added a floral element to each.  If you'd like to do the same,

just make the paper layer active - Select all - Float - Defloat

Choose an element - Paste as new layer - Invert - Delete - Select none

and apply drop shadow.  The elements I used for each were tp-flower14

and then tp-flowerpot6 - Both resized 50%.

Now let's add one of those cute little tubes!! Make the cluster layer active...

  I chose to use tp-poser2,  Resize her at 50% - Copy and paste towards the bottom center of the tag.  Apply same drop shadow.  Alrighty... add a new layer,

and name it lawn.  Move that layer below the frame and paper layers.

Using the lawn tube that comes with PSP, set to it's default, make some lawn

underneath the tube.  You'll have to click a few times, to get what you like.

You can look at my image for ideas, if you need to.  Add a new layer - name

it grass - Move this layer above the frame layers - Using the grass blade tube

that comes with PSP - With the default settings, except change the scale to 25.

Draw out some grass blades along the bottoms of the frames.  Don't worry

if it looks "choppy"...we're going to fix that.  Once you get the grass looking

the way you want to... Grab your smudge tool.

With the settings below:

Smudge the bottom parts of the grass blades to blend them in with the lawn.

It works really well and hides those 'choppy' edges.  Once satisfied, resize the image 500 x 500 pixels (all layers checked).  Then change the canvas size back to 600 x 600.  That gives us room to work with our mask.

For the mask.... Make the bottom layer active (you should have a raster

layer at the bottom with nothing on it, if not.... add a new layer and move it down).  Select all - Choose a paper from the kit, I chose tp-paper3, Copy

and Paste INTO selection.  Select none.  Layers - New Mask Layer - select the mask you're using - Apply.  Merge group.  Duplicate - Flip - Merge down.

Now you can resize the image again... this time to your liking.

Add your name and copyright info.

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

That's it!  I hope you enjoyed this tut and that I didn't lose you in the process... lol.

Thanks!

I also made a quickpage with this kit.... First one ever!

not copy them and put them on your own group or site of any kind. If you'd like to share your creation,

you may email them to me at acpryor@live.com and I will share them here :o) Thanks!**

Let's begin!

Open a new 600 x 600 image.  Choose one of the oval frames from the kit,

(I chose the plain one), resize 35% copy and paste as new layer.  Use your magic wand

and click inside the frame - Selections - Modify - Expand by 4.

Choose a paper from the kit and resize 70%. Copy and paste as new layer - Selections -

Invert - Delete.  Keep Selected and move the paper below the frame layer.

Now let's grab one of the tubes from the kit (or another one of your choice)

If using one from the kit, resize 90% - Copy and paste as new layer.  Arrange to your

liking - Delete.  (your selection should still be inverted, so there's no need

to invert again ;o))  Select - None.  Apply a drop shadow of 3, -3, 70, 10 - Black.

Also apply that shadow to the frame.  Make sure your frame layer is active, re-paste

your tube again (it should still be on your clipboard), arrange so that it matches

up with the other tube layer - Erase the parts of her that go below the frame.

X out the background layer and merge visible.  Then resize just that layer to 500 x 500 pixels.

(This should still leave your canvas at 600 X 600)

Open one of the bouquettes from the kit, resize 15% - Copy and paste as new layer.

Using your deform tool, give the roses about a 15 degree angle.  Sharpen. Move the layer

below the frame layer.  Duplicate - Mirror - Merge down.

Make your frame layer active again - Open one of the candle clusters from the kit,

resize 30% - Copy and paste as new layer - Arrange to the left side of the tag,

apply drop shadow.  Open a bow from the kit, resized 20% - Copy and paste

as new layer and arrange onto the heart part of the candle cluster.  Apply drop

shadow.  Open one of the bears from the kit, resize 25% and place on the right side

of the tag.  Apply drop shadow.  With your background layer still X'd out,

merge visible.  Resize by 500 pixels again, just as before, but do not check

the 'resize all layers' box.  This will still leave our canvas at 600.

Now.  Sharpen your image - Duplicate.  Resize each layer by 95%.

Make the bottom layer active - Apply a Gaussian blur of 20.

Duplicate that layer and merge down.  Now apply Mosaic antique

with the settings below:

Now effects - Distortion effects - Spiky Halo with the settings below:

Apply and we're done!!
Resize the image to your liking this time, add your name

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

for a white background.
