Okay, let's get this party started.

1.
New - New Image - 750 x 750.
Paste the tube onto your canvas - resize by 60%.
Paste your frame of choice onto your canvas, I used #9 - Purple.
Move your tube to the right of your frame, as pictured above.
Add dropshadow, I used 0, 0, 30, 3.00.
Now add a dropshadow to your frame also. Same one.

2.
Set your material palette to your gradient of choice.
Using your preset shape tool, draw a rectangle beneath your frame so that both open areas are filled in.
Paste a part of your tube on one side of the frame over the gradient layer.
Duplicate the tube, and change the blend mode on the bottom to 'Luminance Legacy'
Change the blend mode on the top one to 'Soft Light'
Now duplicate them both - Image - Mirror so that it's on the other side too.
I also added the tube to the center of the frame.
Adjust - Hue: 0 Saturation: 0 to make it monochrome
Trim the tube, and then lower the opacity to 6.
With your preset shape tool set to rectangle, draw a rectangle over the tubes, color #60457a
Now change that blend mode on that layer to 'Overlay'.
Make sure that layer is directly above the tubes layer.

3.
Paste your texture of choice over top of the gradient layer.
Trim it so it is not coming from behind the frame on sides, top or bottom.
If necessary, change the color to match your tag colors.
I changed mine to Hue - 192; Saturation - 71
Now change the blend mode of the texture layer to 'Overlay'.
Using the color #60457a - I typed the words 'LIMITED' and 'EDITION'
I used 'Impact' font, size 48.
Rotate them by 90 degrees and place them right between the texture and tube layers.
Hide the main tube layer, merge all other layers.
Layers - Merge - Merge Visible
Unhide your tube layer again.

So far, this is what you should have:

Now, using your preset shape tool again, draw a rectangle coming out from top of the frame.

I used the gradient again, but you can use any gradient or color of choice.
I used all the same steps as above, using the texture, tubes and blend modes.
For the closeup in the middle, I used blend modes: Luminance (Legacy) & Screen.
Hide the frame and tube layers, and merge visible the rest of the layers.
Now with that layer active:
Selections - Select All
Selections - Float
Selections - Defloat
Selections - Modify - Expand by 4
Add a new raster layer and flood fill with the gradient again.
Lower it beneath the rectangle layer we just made.
Adjust - Add/Remove Noise - Add Noise
Random - 20% - Monochrome: Checked
Add a dropshadow.
Now, merge visible once again.
Duplicate this layer.Image - Rotate - Free Rotate by 5%
Duplicate the rotated one - Image - MirrorUnhide the tube and frame layer now.
Make the rectangle layer active again.
Duplicate once again - Image - Rotate - Free Rotated by 5%
Right click the layer, Arrange - Send to Bottom
Bring it out from behind the frame to the right
(see my tag for reference)
Duplicate layer - Image - Mirror.

5. Using the preset shape tool again, and the color #482574I drew a smaller rectangle on top of the main rectangle layer and under the frame layer.
Make it so it's coming out from under the frame.
Add a dropshadow, same as before.

Using the preset shape tool again, rectangle:
Line Style: diamond Width: 2.00 Color: #482574
Background & Fill Properties: transparent
Draw a dotted rectangle in front of the frame layer.
Objects - Align - Center in Canvas

6.
Add your accents (provided in the zip 'Supplies') Add the pixel text to the frame, and a heart in the middle using preset shape tool.
Add your text to the bottom of the tag, using Impact font, Size 72
Add the word 'Certified' to the purple rectangle, using Bank Gothic font, Size 28
Add some sparkles of choice.
Add your mask, copyright/credits and name.
