Supplies Needed
Fantastic PTU kit called A Cream Colored Christmas by Country Princess
This kit is on $1 and has lots of fun goodies to use in projects
Template is a CDO Exclusive Freebie found here and was created by Dee
Artwork by Elias Chatzoudis
Font used is Isildur High
I am using version PSP 9 ~ No outside filters used
Remember that this is your own creation ~ You can change around papers
and elements as you like ~ My tutorial is for use as inspiration so have
fun!
I use the same instructions throughout tutorial so I will make it easier to follow by abbreviating
CP ~ Copy and Paste
SSAFD ~ Selections, Select All, Float, Defloat
SID ~ Selections, Invert, Delete
SSN ~ Selections, Select None
Let's get creative!
Open your template, I am using the .pspimage version ~ Shift D and close out your original
Delete Raster 1 (background) layer and INFO layer
For this project you will be using papers 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16
tan square layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 14 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete tan square layer
white oval layer (not the DS layer) ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 16 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete white oval layer
red circle layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 13 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete red circle layer
white circle layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 9 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete white circle layer
green strip layer ~ Layers ~ Arrange ~ Move Up
green square layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 15 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete green square layer
green strip layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 14 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete green strip layer
dotted square layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 9 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete dotted square layer
small white squares layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 9 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete small white squares layer
wordart black layer ~ SSAFD ~ CP paper 9 ~ SID ~ SSN ~ Delete wordart black layer
Top layer active ~ Layers ~ Merge down and merge down again ~ Your word art is now one layer and you can position where you like
On your mistletoe layer ~ CP your tube ~ Position
This is where your creativity comes in!
I used the gift elements 90 & 91 as well as 112, 113, 114 & 115 in my project and resized them differently then positioned them behind the wordart but in front of my tube ~ Use my tag as guide
Choose any other elements you like ~ Resize as needed ~ Position
I did not use any drop shadows except the ones that were in the template already
Layers ~ Merge ~ Merge Visible
Resize tag to your liking ~ I resized my tag to 68% ~ Adjust ~ Sharpness ~ Sharpen if needed
Add your license and credit layer
Merge Visible
Image ~ Canvas Size ~ 476 (or your width if different than mine) by 550
This gives you a little more room to place your text at the bottom
Add text ~ I used Isildur High font ~ White 2 pixel foreground ~ #712d20 background ~ Size 72 ~ Kearning at -100
Position text ~ Layers Merge Visible
Save as PNG
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial ~ I always love seeing your creations so feel free to send me your tag and I will post it here to show it off ~
