My friends...mini Tut FTU

This tutorial was written on January 31, 2012 by Shani aka Wicked Princess. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
Supplies Needed:



++Paint Shop Pro ( I used 10 but any version should work)


++ Four tubes of choice. I used the artwork of Suzanne Wolcott and you can get her work HERE

++Cluster frame by me that I made using the kit “The Hippo Song” You can get to Gina’s blog HERE to check out the kit and to my scrap blog HERE to get the cluster frame

++ Mask of choice

Open a new canvas of 800x800, transparent. Remember you can resize later.

Next open the cluster frame, copy and paste as a new layer. Resize it and adjust as you like.

Back to the transparent layer, we’re going to flood fill with a gradient. Change your foreground and background colors to complimenting colors, and then change the foreground color to the gradient. I set the repeat to 1 and flood filled.
Now go to blur>Gaussian blur and figure out what setting you want it to be…..any setting you are happy with is fine. Now go to effects>distortion and set it to twirl. Pick whatever setting you like. Add your mask of choice.

Then open your tubes, each one copy and paste behind the frame. Use your magic wand tool in the opening, go to selections, modify expand (I think by 10) and on the tube layer go to selections, invert. Hit the delete key on the tube layer. Go to selections none. Use your eraser tool for any stray pixels. Repeat it for the three openings on the tube. Add a final tube to the left hand side of the frame and adjust as you want.

Don’t forget your copyrights and tagger markings as well as license number! Save and you are done!

Open several of the papers you’d like to use! Minimize them for later.

Open your template in PSP. Here’s the fun part! We’re going to delete layers (you can choose to leave them if you want, but for my purposes I’m deleting it) delete all the word art and shadows and also the dots and dashes.
Next go to the bottom template layer, go to selections, float, then selections defloat. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with your choice of the paper. Repeat this process WITH THE EXCEPTION of the circle layers and the three tall rectangle layers that are horizontal.

On the circle layers and the rectangle layers, flood fill with your choice of gradient. What I did was choose two colors from the papers. One in the foreground and background, then changed the top one to the gradient. You can choose the angle, to whatever you like. On those three layers, flood fill with the gradient. On the circle layers, add the gradient glow of your choosing.

Next open the flame you like. Resize then copy and paste as a new layer then move it to the right side and just above the bottom layer. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror.

Open the star cluster you like resize it, copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the upper left and move above the circle layer. Duplicate, then image, mirror , then image, flip.

Now comes the fun part with the tubes! Open your first tube, crop it so that you only have half of it. Copy and paste it as a new layer and resize it. Move it to below the left rectangle frame and to the left of it. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror, and adjust it some so it looks the same. Merge down one layer. Then use your plug in, penta.com color dot and whatever setting you like. Duplicate it and go to image, flip. Merge down one layer. Then on the gradient layer, go to selections, float, then selections, defloat. On the tube layer, go to selections, invert and hit the delete key. Go to selections none. Then change the blend mode to luminance legacy. One down few more to go!
On the middle vertical layer, copy and paste the scatter that has stars and circles. Go back to the rectangle layer, go to selections, float then selections defloat. Back to the scatter layer and go to selections defloat, then selections invert. Hit the delete key. Go to selections none.

Open the star bling. Keep it as it is on its own layer as you opened it. Add a gradient glow that you like. Open your next tube, then resize it and copy and paste as a new layer. Move it below the star. Adjust it so the tube covers the whole star area. Note that I used the boobie area lol. Go to your plug in, Xero porcelain and whatever setting you like. Then use your plug in penta.com, jeans and set at the setting you like. Copy and paste the tube again. Shrink it down and move it to the outer points like I did. Adjust it as you like. Add your porcelain plug in again. Using your magic wand tool again, click inside the star and go to selections, float and then selections defloat, go to selections invert. Go to each tube layer and hit the delete key. Go to selections none, when you are done. Merge everything. Copy and paste as a new layer into your main canvas. Move it below the center rectangle layer and adjust as needed.
Then open the heart border. Copy and paste as a new layer, and move it just above the long vertical rectangle layer.
Next open your next tube! Crop it, I only used the face. Copy and paste as a new layer. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Adjust where you like it on the circle. Go to your plug in, xero, radiance and set it to what you like. Now go to effects, texture, weave. I just did the default setting .Play with it and figure out what setting you want! Then on the circle layers (the gradient) go to selections, float, selections, defloat. Then on the first tube layer go to selections, invert and hit the delete key. Do the same on the other tube layer. Go to selections none. Change the blend mode to luminance legacy.

Now open your next tube. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it below the center rectangle frame. Use your plug in, xero, porcelain. Then use your plug in penta.com, dot and cross at the setting you like! On the gradient level, go to selections, float then selections, defloat. On the tube layer go to selections, invert and hit the delete key. Go to selections none.
Almost done!

Next open the bear, then copy and paste on either side of the bottom of the frame. Then add the paper flower that you like to the upper top corners.

Add your text, copyrights, license info, and tagger markings. Save and your done!

Open a canvas of 800x800 and make sure it has a transparent background. Remember we can resize this later.

Open the circle frame you like, I personally used frame4. Copy and paste as a new layer into your blank canvas.
Using your magic wand tool, and click inside the circle frame. Go to selections, modify, expand and increase it to 10. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with your choice of paper. Go to selections, none.
Open your tube of choice, and choose the close up. Copy and paste as a new layer above the paper layer. Use your plug in xero, radiance on it. I just chose a random setting and then click ok.

Go to effects, texture effects, blinds and set it to the setting you like with the color set to black. Click ok.

Now use your magic wand took again, and go to the frame layer. Click inside the frame layer and go to selections, modify, expand and expand by 10. On the close up layer go to selections, invert then hit the delete key. Go to selections, none
Next open up up the leaves element. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the right of the frame, duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Merge down one layer then go to duplicate, image flip. Duplicate one more time then go to image, free rotate and set it to 90. Merge down the three layers so the leaves are all on the same layer. Then move this layer to the bottom of the canvas.
Then open the red branch, copy and paste as a new layer to the left of the frame. Make sure this is on top. Duplicate it then go to image, mirror. Add two flowers at the ends of the branches like I did.

Add the winged heart to the bottom center and then the crow to look like it’s sitting on it.
Next copy and paste the full tube to the right of the frame. Move it so it’s just above the frame layer. Adjust as you like it. Note that I erased the very bottom so it was hidden behind the flowers.

Sting FB Cover FTU NO Scraps!

This tutorial was written on December 24, 2011, Shani aka Wicked Princess. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
Supplies Needed:



++Paint Shop Pro ( I used 10 but any version should work)


++ Tubes of choice or the ones I used, which is “Sting” by James Adams and can be found at AIL Note you MUST have a valid license to use.

++My Template which you can get HERE

++Plug ins: Muera Meister Copies

**NOTE ADD DROP SHADOWS OF YOUR CHOOSING AS YOU LIKE! AND SAVE AS YOU GO!

Open a new canvas, transparent and the dimensions of 850 x 315. Flood fill with your choice of color or gradient. I used a red and black gradient that I felt would compliment the tube. Now go to effects, texture effects, texture and set it to what texture you like. I personally used Brick Wall.

Then open up your template, copy and paste as a new layer. Yes it may just overlap a little, that’s ok. Change the color of the template to what you like. You can flood fill it or use your manual correction button. Go to selections, float, selections, defloat. Then to selections, modify, expand by 6. Add a new raster layer and flood fill it with the color or gradient of your choosing. I used a gold gradient. Go to selections none. Add the noise effect by going to adjust, add/remove noise. Move this layer below the template layer.

Open up your tube in PSP. I used a tube that had several close ups with it. My suggestion is do that if you can! Copy and paste the biggest close up and paste it as a new layer into your canvas. Feel free to resize it if you need to. Then go to your plug in, muera meister copies and set it to tile (angle) set the Number to 3 and both shifts to 50. Go to the template layer and go to selections, float, and selections defloat. On the angled tube layer go to selections, invert then hit the delete key on your keyboard. Go to selections, none.

Now go to effects, texture effects, blinds and set it what you like. Make sure that horizontal is unchecked. Change the blend mode to luminance legacy. It should look pretty cool now!

Next draw out a long rectangle in the coordinating color you did for the back ground. Make it so it ‘s kind of centered. Add your text and merge down. Duplicate it then rotate it so it goes across the X’s. Angle the other one you did too. Now it should look like a big X. Change the blend modes to luminance legacy.

We’re going to add the tubes now. Use another close up tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to the left side, where you see the diamond opening. Duplicate the tube and move it below the template layer, but above the gold one. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the area on the first template layer. Go to the bottom tube layer and go to selections, invert and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Go to selections, none. Now on the top tube layer, and using your eraser tool, erase the parts of the tube you don’t want seen outside of that diamond area. You’re making it look like the person is popping out of the diamond. Repeat this process for the opposite side.

Then add your tube of choice to the middle of the canvas. Adjust as needed. Add your copyrights and licensing information. Save this as a PSP image as it is. Once saved merge visible.
Go to selections, select all then go to selections, modify, selection borders. Set it for 5, and add a new raster layer. Flood fill it with the choice of color or gradient. Add the noise of your choosing. Go to selections none. Add any more text and save! Thank you for trying out my tutorial!

Rock Princess FTU tut

**NOTE ADD DROP SHADOWS OF YOUR CHOOSING AS YOU LIKE! AND SAVE AS YOU GO!

Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.

Open several papers of choice, resizing as needed. For example, when I look at the blue bar where it tells me what I’ve opened (say like paper 2) it tells me what percentage I’m viewing it at. For me it’s usually 16%, so I resize to 16% bringing it to 100%. ( I hope that made sense!) Once you’ve done this, minimize for later use.

First open the banner template for the forum set.

Next go to the bottom template layer and go to selections, select all, then float, selections defloat. Don’t forget to go to selections, none then delete the template layer. Repeat this process for the rest of the template. On the diamond layers, add a gradient of your choosing. I did a complimentary green and white and fixed the repeat for 3.
Add a soft gradient glow to your second rectangle.

Open up the skull circle frame, and then copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the second rectangle layer. Adjust it as you need too.

Now open up the pin of your choice. I used the white one. Copy and paste as a new layer and move it to the right. Then move it to under the diamond layers. I angled mine. Duplicate it then go to image, flip. Merge down one layer then duplicate it again. Go to image, mirror.

Next open your tube of choice. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the diamond layer. Adjust it like y ou want it. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Back to the first one, add your plug in, penta.com>dot and cross. Set it to whatever you want. Back to the diamond layer below, go to selections, float, selections, defloat, then select the tube layer again. Go to selections, invert and hit the delete key on your keyboard. Go to selections, none. Repeat this for the opposite side. Add a soft gradient glow to the diamonds

Copy and paste your tube again, and center it into your banner. Adjust as needed. Add a crown to either side of the oval.

What I do here is save……
Now merge all then go to selections, float, selections defloat. Then add a new layer. Go to selections, modify, select selections border and set it to 3. On the new raster layer flood fill with a complimentary color. Then add a soft gradient gloss

Add your copyrights and license info along with y our tagger markings. Save and your done!

Repeat the steps for the avvy.

Ty for trying my tutorial!

Lix Forum Set FTU

This tutorial was written on December 22, 2011, Shani aka Wicked Princess. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
Supplies Needed:



++Paint Shop Pro ( I used 10 but any version should work)


++ Tubes of choice or the ones I used, which is by Lix and called “Mew” and “mirta” andyou can find them at PSP Tubes Emporium HERE and Here You must have a valid license to use these tubes. Please be mindful of copyrights!

++Scrap kit of choice, I used a FTU one called “Death Becomes Her” by me, Wicked Princess Scraps and can be found on my scraps blog HERE


++Template Twisted T, which can be found on the Pimpin’ PSPers blog HERE

++Plug ins: Eye candy 400 gradient gloss

++Fonts of your choice. I used Americana

**NOTE ADD DROP SHADOWS OF YOUR CHOOSING AS YOU LIKE! AND SAVE AS YOU GO!

Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.

Open several papers of choice, resizing as needed. For example, when I look at the blue bar where it tells me what I’ve opened (say like paper 2) it tells me what percentage I’m viewing it at. For me it’s usually 16%, so I resize to 16% bringing it to 100%. ( I hope that made sense!) Once you’ve done this, minimize for later use.

First open the banner template for the forum set.

Next go to the bottom template layer and go to selections, select all, then float, selections defloat. Don’t forget to go to selections, none then delete the template layer. Repeat this process for the rest of the template. On the arrows layers, use a gradient that is complimentary to your tube. For example, I used dark purple and black. And the repeat was set at I think 4.

On the bottom circle frame layer, add a glitter…go to adjust, add/remove noise and set it to what you want. I did a random one.

Then open up one of your tubes. For example I used the Mirta tube. Using the close up (if you have one) copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the arrow layers. Adjust it where you like it. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Adjust if you need to. Go back to the first one. With it activated go to effects, textures, blinds. I used the default setting it was already set to. Click ok. Do it again, but either check or uncheck horizontal (which ever is the opposite of what you had) and click ok. Do this for the opposite one too.
Back to activating the first close up layer (for me this was the left. I work from left to right lol) and go to the arrow right below it. Go to selections, float, selections defloat then edit clear. Now selections none. You should have the close up in the shape of the arrow. Do the same for the opposite arrow. Change the blend mode to luminance legacy.

Now we’re going to add the flames! Open up your flames elements from the kit. Copy and paste it as a new layer above the arrow layers. Adjust it and resize as you like it. Add a soft gradient glow, I chose white. Now activiate the bottom circle layers frame. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the frame. Go to selections, invert. Click on the frames layer and then go to edit, clear. Now selections, none. The flames should look like they’re coming up out of the frame layer and onto the arrows.

With this layer still activated, change the blend mode to luminance legacy. It should take on the appearance of the arrow layers some. Look at mine to make sure that’s what it looks like. Make adjustments as you like!
Now open up the main tube you are using, in my case, Mew. I used the close up once again. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move it below the top circle frame layer. Adjust it where you want it to be. We’re going to make her look like she’s popping out of the frame. Duplicate it and move it above the circle frame layer. On the frame layer use your magic wand tool and click inside the frame. Go to selections, modify, expand by two. Now click on the bottom tube layer (in the layers palette) and go to selections invert, then edit, clear. On your top tube layer, erase the parts you don’t want seen outside the frame layer. For example, I removed her lower half.

Next add the teddy bear to either side of the tube, to where it’s facing in. Add the skulls to the top of the arrows at an angle.

Don’t forget your copyright information. You can notice that I used a pixel font on mine and the color white. What I did was add it to the top of the tube layer and lowered the opacity so it didn’t take away from the set but it could be seen as well.

Follow the similar steps for the avvy!

Add any text you want, save as a png and you’re done!
