SUPPLIES
I am using a lovely scrap kit called 'Christmas Time', a creation by Sanie that you can find here. The tube I am using is from Alan Stevens and you can find himhere. The mask I used is from Vix and you can find ithere. The one I used, #147, is found toward the bottom of the page. The font I used is called 'Santas Big Secret' and you can find it at da.font.com.
PLUGINS
Alien Skin Xenofex 2 Constellation
Ok I am assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP. Please save often so you don't get disappointed. Open a new image 700 x 700 and flood fill with white. Add a New Raster Layer and Select All. Choose a paper from the kit and paste into selection. I used paper #6. Apply the mask then hit the delete key.
Now take Element #9 and paste to your working copy. Take your Magic Wand, hold down your Shift Key and click inside the frame. Now choose a paper from the kit and paste to your working copy. I used paper #14. Go to Selections and click on Invert. Then hit your delete key. Go to Selections and choose Select none. Move this layer below your frame.
Now take Element #21 and resize it. Paste it to your working copy and using your deform tool move it to the right side of your frame. Apply a light drop shadow. Duplicate this then mirror it. You can now add your tube and add a light drop shadow.
Take element #48 and resize it. I put this at the bottom of the frame and to the left of the tube. Depends on what tube you use. Then take element #61 and resize it. Paste it to your working copy and place at the bottom of the frame and to the right of your tube. Add a light drop shadow. Next take element #60 and resize it. Paste to your working copy and place to the right and a little below of the first present. Add a light drop shadow.
On the paper layer behind the frame take element #5 and resize. You can use your Deform Tool to adjust the size. Now duplicate this, mirror it, then flip it. Now take element #62 and resize it. Paste this on your working copy so it also fits the paper. This should be above the stars though.
Add your copyright info and your watermark. If you do not want to animate you can resize your tag and save it.
ANIMATION
Go to layer that has the element #62. Duplicate this layer so you have a total of three. Put a red x beside the two copies and highlight the original copy. Apply Constellation with the following settings:

Now put a red x beside the original copy and remove a red x from the second copy. Apply Constellation again but hit the Random Seed once. Repeat this step for the third copy making sure to hit the Random Seed.
Now place red x's beside the two copies and remove the red x beside the original copy. Make sure the original copy is highlighted. Go to Edit>Copy Merged and take this to Animation Shop. Go back to PSP and place a red x beside the original copy. Remove a red x from the second copy and highlight this copy. Go to Edit>Copy Merged. Take this to AS and Paste After Current Image. Repeat this step for the third copy.
In AS go to Animation and resize your tag. You can now save your tag. Add your name and you are done.
Thank you for trying my tutorial.
