~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, let's get started!
1.
File - New Image - 800 x 800 - Transparent
Copy and paste your tube of choice to the canvas.
Move it right below the tube layer - I rotated the frame a smidgeon using Raster Deform Tool.
Now make your own gradient by choosing two colors you'd like to use for your tag.
I used #bac98b and #b5d7d4
Choose Foreground-background in your gradients to make your own
Using your Magic Wand Tool, click inside of your frame
Selections - Modify - Expand by 10
Add a new raster layer and floodfill with your new gradient.
Selections - None
Move that layer below your frame layer.
Duplicate your tube now and move it between the frame and gradient layer
to the left of your round gradient layer
Duplicate it - Image Mirror
Click on your gradient filled layer to make it active
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat
Selections - Invert
Click on one of the tube layers and hit the delete key
Do the same with the other one.
Selections - None
Now duplicate these tube layers
Change the blend mode of the bottom ones to Luminance (Legacy)
And change the blend mode of the top ones to Soft Light
Now add a dropshadow to your frame
Hide your main tube layer
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Now unhide the main tube again.
2.
Using your preset shape tool, draw a circle the size you would like
I made mine to mostly fill my canvas
I used the same gradient as above to draw the circle
Objects - Align - Center in Canvas
Now, convert to a raster layer
Duplicate your tube layer and hide one
Also hide your frame layer we just merged
Click on the unhidden tube layer to make it active
Resize by 60%
Effects - Plugins - Mura's Meister - Copies
In the dropdown list choose Wallpaper (rotate)
I changed the number to 79 - everything else stays at default
(change the number so it fills your canvas as you desire)
Click OK.
Resize this layer by 90% so it will come away from the edges of your tag
Make sure your wallpaper layer is right above your circle layer
Click on the circle layer to make it active now
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat
Selections - Invert
Click on the wallpaper layer and hit the delete key

Now unhide your other layers
This is what you should have now:

Add a new raster layer and floodfill with a color of choice

Click on your very bottom gradient layer to make it active
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise
Random - 37% - Monochrome: checked
Now add a dropshadow to this layer - I used 0, 0, 40, 4.00
Click on the green floodfilled layer to make it active now.
Effects - Plugins - penta.com - Jeans - default settings
Now add your dropshadow again.
Click on the rotated background layer now, and add the same dropshadow.
4.
Grab Element 1 (the rectangular frame) and paste it to the canvas
Pull it to the right so it's only coming out from the right side and not seen on the left
Duplicate it, Image - Mirror
Hide all layers except the 2 rectangular frames
Make sure this layer is beneath the round frame but above the rotated wallpaper layer.
Using your Magic Wand Tool, click inside the rectangular frame at one end
Hold down your shift key and then click inside the frame at the other end
They should both have marching ants now
Selections - Modify - Expand by 5
Add a new raster layer and floodfill with a color of choice
Duplicate your main tube now
And I used the teddy bear part in this frame using the same method as above
Trim any excess of the tube and then duplicate them
Change the blend mode to Luminance (Legacy) for the bottom
And change the blend mode to Soft Light for the top.
Hide all layers except the blue floodfilled layers and the teddybear tube
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds
5.
Now these are the elements we're going to add.
Add a dropshadow to each if you like as you go.
Element 37 - no resizing necessary
(rotate by 90% to the right)
(Adjust - Hue & Saturation - Colorize - Hue: 146 - Saturation: 100)
Element 8 - resize by 50%
Element 39 - resize by 60%
Element 48 - resize by 70%

Now let's get started!
1.
New image - 750 x 750.
Paste your tube of choice onto your canvas. I used frog-1 of Prince Charm.
If using the same one, resize by 40%, and add a dropshadow.
2.
Open element 121, resize by 80% and paste to the right side of the tag, behind tube.
Element 101 - resize by 80% and again paste to right, right in front of grass.
Element 54 - paste it down at the bottom of grassy bits, moving it out to overlap a bit.
Element 24 - paste it over top of the grass down low again. I added a slight dropshadow to it.
Element 14 - resize by 35% and paste down in at the bottom of grassy bits next to the frog.
Here is an image of what I have so far:
When you are happy with what you have, hide the tube layer and merge the rest together.
Duplicate the merged layer and Image - Mirror.
Element 2 - paste it right behind the frog, lowering it level with other grassy bits.
I moved it behind some of the lower front grass and flower.
Now I shifted the frog a bit to the right to see the flower and butterfly behind it.
Element 6 (lilypad) - No resize.
Paste it and lower it to the lowest layer, coming out from bottom of the tag.
Duplicate - Image- Mirror.
3.
Element 38 - resize by 50%. (leave it right in the center of the canvas)
Effects - Plugins - MuRa's Meister - Copies
Select 'Encircle' in the list - change the 'Number' to 7. Don't touch other numbers. Click OK.
Move this behind the 2 frames.

Move it behind all layers.
Element 109 - resize by 25%. I placed it in 3 places to the right of tag behind frames and flowers.
Also, added one at the very top. Just wanted to add some splashes of yellow in there.
4.
Now paste these random elements to your tag from the scrap kit:
With each of these elements - duplicate them and Image - Mirror to add to the other side.
Element 9, resize by 50%. paste to the right, coming out from behind the grass, etc
Element 85 - resize by 30%. Move it behind all other layers again coming out from top.
Element 40 - resize by 60%. Move it the very lowest layer so it's coming up from behind grass.
In your material palette, make or add your gradient of choice.
I am using one of Tonya's, listed above.
Using your square preset shape tool, draw a square and move it beneath a frame.
Right click the layer and 'convert to raster layer'.
Duplicate it. Image - Mirror.
Duplicate your tube, and place it over the gradient layer under the frame on one side.
Duplicate the layer. Image - Mirror.
Duplicate the tube layers again and change bottom to Luminance (Legacy) and top to Screen.

Now, open the supply file I provided above, and grab the circular wordart I made.
Or you can make one of your own.
I made the wordart so you can use the white back and shadow, or remove them.
Your choice.
Once you've pasted it on, use your preset shape tool to add a small heart between words at the top.
It's just to fill in that space a bit. I used a different shade of green from the tag.

Add your copyright and add your name.
We are all finished!
Thank you sooooo much for trying out my tutorial.

1.
Start by adding your snowflake bokeh pattern to your materials palette in 'foreground'.
Background is on the bottom, foreground is the top of your material palette, pictured below.
New Image - 750 x 750 - Transparent.
Activate your star preset shape tool.
Create on Vector: checked, Number of sides: 5, Radius: 38.00, Line Style: solid, Width: 15.00
Hide your background layer by clicking the circle with a line through it under the box
to make it transparent.
2.
Draw out a star using your added pattern.
Object - Align - Center in Canvas. Right click your layer and convert to raster layer.
Selections - All, Selections - Float, Selections - Defloat, Selections - Modify - Expand by 2
Add a new raster layer and lower it beneath the star layer you drew.
Floodfill this layer with the same pattern you used to draw the star.
Selections - Select None.
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise - Random - 33% - Monochrome: Checked
Add a dropshadow of 0, 0, 30, 3.00.
3.
Duplicate the merged star you just made.
With the bottom star layer active - Image - Rotate - Free Rotate - Left: 20%.
All Layers and Rotate Single Layer are both unchecked. Duplicate this one again.
Now Image - Mirror. Right click the layer of this duplicated one - Arrange - Send to Bottom.
Go to Adjust - Blur - Gaussian Blur - 12.00.
Effects - Texture Effects - Blinds - Width: 7 - Opacity: 21 - Color: White - Both boxes checked.
Now go to your Effects - Plugins - VDL Adrenaline - Snowflakes
Change 'Amount' to 127 and 'Size Range End' to 8, leave the rest as is.
This will add the snowflakes to your blurred star.
Now lower the opacity to 70.
4.
Convert them to raster layers.
Hide all of your layers except the black stars, and Merge Visible again.
Unhide all of the layers, and make sure your stars are right above the pixel text layer.
Selections - Select All, Selections - Float, Selections - Defloat, Selections - Invert
Click on your pixel text layer now and hit the delete key, to delete the excess.
Selections - None.
Now hide your 6 black stars layer.
You should now see your pixel text in the shape of the 6 black stars that were there.
8.
Using your preset shape tool again - star, draw out some tiny stars.
I drew some in red, some in black and some in white randomly over top of the blurred star layer.
Add a dropshadow of 0, 0, 20, 2.00 to them.
Using your 'Chocolate Box' font, size: 72, color: red
Type out the word 'Christmas' and lower it to bottom of the tag.
Selections - Select All, Selections - Float, Selections - Defloat, add a new raster layer
Lower it beneath the 'Christmas' text layer and floodfill it with white.
Add a dropshadow of 1, 1, 30, 3.00.
Effects - Plugins - Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow - Glow Width: 3.00
Click on the 'color' tab in the Gradient Glow box and choose Medium and the color red
This will place a bit of red glow around the white back of your Christmas text to make it pop a bit.
Using the color 'black' type the words 'Star' 5 times in a row.
Lower this layer just above your blurred star, tiny stars and pixel text layers.
Add a dropshadow of 0, 0, 20, 2.00.
Add your copyright, sparkles of choice, the bow (colorized to match) and your name
Now you can call it DONE!
I used the 'Fruitella' font for the name.

Paste your tube on top of all current layers.
Add a dropshadow of 0, 0, 30, 3.00.
Now, above the blurred star layer, I drew a circle using the snowflake bokeh pattern.
Below that, I drew another circle using the color #ffc7e7. Add dropshadow, same as before.
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise - Random - 33% - Monochrome: checked.
Dropshadow again.
Lastly, I drew another circle a tad bigger beneath that one, color #dc311f. Dropshadow again.
