Feel free to use my tutorial as a guide and
have fun giving it your own spin.

This tutorial assumes you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Needed Supplies & Filters :

Tube of Choice .. I am using the work of Ismael Rac which you must have a license to use. I am licensed through Artistic Minds Inc. but they are now closed. You can now find Ismael's artwork licensed through his own store. Pls do not use his work without purchasing through here.

Scrap Kit of Choice .. I have used a gorgeous PTU kit from Bits n Bobs called Frostee, which can be purchased here. 

Mask of Choice .. I haved used Vix_ChristmasMask6 which can be downloaded from Vix's site here. 

Word Art of Choice .. I have used a great word art from Lori, which is available on her blog here

Font of Choice .. I am using Snowblind.


Filters used .. Eye Candy/Gradient Glow & DSB Flux/Bright Noise (both optional)

Let's get started ! 

Open your mask in PSP. New image 600x600. Floodfill with white.

New raster layer, select all, copy and paste into selection Paper  1. New mask layer from image, Vix_ChristmasMask6, invert mask data unchecked, and merge group. Layer duplicate & merge down. I erased the wonderland wording at the bottom of the mask. Layer duplicate again, mirror and merge down. 

If you do not wish to animate your background, pls skip this part. 
Duplicate layer twice and rename layers Mask 1, Mask 2 & Mask 3. One your first Mask layer apply DSB Flux/Bright Noise/Intensity 35. Select your 2nd Mask layer and apply same filter but randomizing by clicking Mix twice. Repeat on your 3rd Mask layer. 

Open paper 2 and resize to 600x600.

Copy and paste Frame, resize 40% and then 50%. Using your magic wand, select the middle of your ribbon frame. Selections & modify expand 3. Copy and paste your resized Paper 2, selections invert, hit delete and do no deselect. Drag this layer beneath your ribbon frame layer.   

Copy and paste your tube (below your frame layer). Layer duplicate and drag this layer above your frame layer. X out this layer for now (the lil eye icon in your layer palette). Select your bottom frame layer, hit delete. Select none. Open your top tube layer and erase the portion of your tube over the bottom of your frame. You want it to appear that your tube is peeking out of the frame. 

Drop shadow your frame. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.

Copy and paste Bow, resize 20% & drop shadow. Position bottom right hand corner over the ribbon.  Copy and paste button, resize 30% twice & drop shadow. Position above your bow. 


Copy and paste Beads 2, resize 30%,  mirror & drop shadow. Positon on the left hand top corner.  Copy and paste Holly, resize 30% twice & drop shadow. Position above your beads.

Copy and paste Snowman 2, resize 40% twice & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner.

Copy and paste Word art & position top right hand corner. I've changed the color of my word by using adjust/color balance/manual color correction and going from color #444444 to #404a8b. I then added the following gradient glow as well as drop shadow.


X out white background, merge visible.
Open white background, resize to your liking (I used 500x500).

Add copyright & Add your name. I used Snowblind size 72 #31396e and added the same gradient glow and drop shadow. 


If you have chosen not to animate background or name, then save & you are done. 
Otherwise, using your magic wand, select the letters in your name. Duplicate layer twice & rename your layers, Name 1, Name 2 & Name 3.
One your first Name layer apply DSB Flux/Bright Noise/Intensity 35. Select your 2nd Name layer and apply same filter but randomizing by clicking Mix twice. Repeat on your 3rd Name layer. 

To animate, close off Mask & Name Layers 2 & 3 (the lil eye icon in your layer palette), Edit/Copy Merged and paste as new animation in Animation Shop. Close off Mask & Name Layers 1 and open Mask & Name Layers 2, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. Close off Mask & Name Layers 2 and open Mask & Name Layers 3, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. 

 Save and you are done.
