Peace, Love & Happy Times





Peace, Love and Happy Times-FTU

This tutorial was written on June 22, 2009 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 PSP.
Supplies Needed:


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


++Scrap kit by Susan aka HippieDaze can be found HERE

++Template 009 by Susan aka HippieDaze can be found HERE

++3 tubes of choice. I used the artwork of Popeye Wong, it is FTU however please give credit where credit is due, and give him credit on the tag. You can find his work HERE

++Plug ins:
-Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow

Let’s Get Started!

**NOTES:
-Add Drop shadow of choice as you go
-You can merger layers as you want to make things easier for yourself.

Open the large rectangle of your choice. Using your keyboard short cut keys, (Shift+D) duplicate the frame as a new image.

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

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. Add a gradient glow on the fat setting the colors of your choice. Repeat this process for the rest of the template.

Open the large flower of your choice, copy and paste as a new layer. Move below the round frame layer on the template. Add a heart embellishment of your choice to the center of that flower.

Next open two of the tubes you want to use, crop them and resize as needed. Copy and paste as new layers below the postage stamp frame layers. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the one frame. Go to selections, modify expand by 6. Go to selections, invert then go to your tube layer. Hit delete on your keyboard. Repeat this process for the other frame. Add your final tube to the right of the tag.

Open several butterflies and flowers of your choosing. Place a butterfly each on the postage frames. Place where ever you like also.

Add one flower to the upper left hand part of the frame, the other to the hip of the girl tube. Add any other flowers you like.

Add your copyright info and tagger markings along with any text you like.

Save and your done!

Open the bubbles you like, resize as needed. Copy and paste as a new layer and move to the bottom of the layers palette. Move into the upper left hand corner and then duplicate it. Go to image, mirror then image flip.

Add a new raster layer, moving it to just above the bubbles layer. Flood fill with your choice of paper. Add your mask and merge group. I chose to duplicate the layer then mirror it.

Choose one of the doodles you like and resize. Copy and paste as a new layer above the mask layer. Move it to the upper right hand corner and duplicate it. Go to image, mirror then image flip.

Go to the center circle layer and use your plug in Xero Fritallry. Use whatever random setting you like.

On the multiple frame layer, use an inner bevel of your choice also with the hearts layer.

Open several of the accessory elements of your choice and move to the left of the tag. Place and arrange where you like.

Add your tube of choice. You’ll notice I used a pair of the sunglasses from the kit and moved them onto her eyes.. the result making it look like she’s pretty cool lol.

Add a tag and butterfly you like to the upper right hand side of the tag.

Add your text of choice. Don’t forget your copyright, license info and tagger markings.

Save and your done!

Thanks for trying my tutorial!

Girlie Goth-FTU

*-* SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL : I originally made this tag for a friend because I swear this tube looks JUST like her! Lol.. I hope you enjoy it!

This tutorial was written on June 13, 2009 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 PSP.
Supplies Needed:

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

++ Scrap kit by Cupcake Sprinkles called Girly Goth can be found HERE

++Tube of choice or the one I used. I used the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis. You can purchase his work from HERE

++Plug ins:

-Eye Candy 4000 Gradient glow
-Muera Meister Copies

++Mask of choice and font of choice

Let’s get started!

**NOTES:
-Add Drop shadow of choice as you go
-You can merger layers as you want to make things easier for yourself.

Open a new canvas, 600x600. Remember you can crop or resize later.

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.

Flood fill the layer with your choice of paper. Add mask of your choice and remember to merge group. From there duplicate this layer and go to image, mirror.

Open the frame of choice and resize. Copy and paste as a new layer and place at an angle. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the frame and go to selections, expand. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with your choice of paper.

Next open the star with ribbon, resize and copy and paste into the center of the canvas. Use your Muera Meister Copies plug in, use the encircle setting and set to the setting you like.

Open the crossbones element. Add a large gradient glow using white and a color from the kit. Use the magic wand tool and click on the inside of the cross bones. Go to selections modify and expand by 4. Add a new raster layer and flood fill with your choice of paper. Got to edit, copy merged and add as a new raster layer onto the working canvas.

Add a bow of choice, adjusting and resizing as needed. Stretch it as needed too.

Add your tube of choice, resizing and placing where you like. I duplicated the tube and moved one below the frame layer. On the top layer, I erased the parts I didn’t want visible. This way she looks like she’s jumping out of the frame.

Open the crown element, resize then copy and paste as a new layer. Make sure its at the top of the layer palette. Place it above her head, as if she is wearing a crown. Add a gradient glow of your choosing.

Place a bow of choice at the bottom hole, and bracket. Open your roses of choice, resize as needed then copy and paste as new layers, duplicating and alternating. Move them to the edge of the frame on the left hand side.

Add your word art of choice or text of choice.

Don’t forget you copyright, license info and tagger markings. Thanks for trying my tut!

BLAH BLAH BLAH-FTU

This tutorial was written on June 13, 2009 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 PSP.
Supplies Needed:

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

++Scrap kit by Yvette called A bit of attitude can be found HERE

++Template 11 by HippieDaze can be found HERE

++Tube of choice. I used the artwork of Big Chris. You can purchase his work HERE you must have a valid license in order to use his work.

++Plug Ins:
-Muera Meister Copies
-Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow

Let’s Get started!

**NOTES:
-Add Drop shadow of choice as you go
-You can merger layers as you want to make things easier for yourself.

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.


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. Add a gradient glow on the fat setting with two colors that coordinate with the kit. Repeat this process for the rest of the template.

Pick the flower you like, resize then copy and paste as a new layer. Use your plug in muera meister copies with the shift x and y set to 70 and whatever number for the flowers that you think looks best. Hit ok. Move this layer to just above the circle frame layer.

Add your tube of choice, you can place where ever you like. I placed the tube in the center of the frame, below the frame layers. Then I duplicated it and moved one to the top of the layer palette. Using the eraser brush, I erased the parts I wanted hidden behind the frame. This was done on the top tube layer btw. On the bottom tube layer I erased the parts that were hanging out the bottom of the frame. This way she looks like she is popping out of the frame.

Take several of the elements of your choice and cluster them to the left of the tag. Make sure you resize as you want them.

Next take a binder clip, bow and tag and place at the upper right hand corner as you like it.

You can either use the text of your choice or use the word art supplied in the kit.

Add your copyright info, license info and tagger markings.

Remember to save and your done! Thank you for trying out my tutorial.
