postheadericon Not A Creature Was Stirring Tut


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 :


Tube of Choice .. I am using the work of Natacha Chohra which you must have a license to use. Please do not use this work without purchasing through PSP Tube Stop here.

Scrap Kit of Choice .. I have used my PTU kit called "Christmas Cheer" which can be purchased here.

Mask of Choice .. I have used Vix_Mask434 by Vix which can be downloaded here.

Word art of Choice .. I have used word art from Annie's Little Footprints which can be downloaded here.

Animation of Choice .. I have used novasparks by Missy which can be downloaded here.

Font of Choice .. Cutie Pie

Let's get started

New image 600x600 and floodfill with white. New raster layer, select all, paste into selection Paper 5. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask4, invert transparency unchecked, and merge group.

Copy and paste Flake 2.

Copy and paste Frame 6 & resize 60%. Using your magic wand, select the center portion of your frame, selections modify/expand 5. Copy and paste below your frame your image & resize as necessary. Selections invert and hit delete. Select none & drop shadow your frame. I have used 2/2/40/4. If you are using a tube rather than an image, then first copy and paste background paper instead of an image and then your tube and delete excess.

Copy and paste String 6, resize 65% & drop shadow. Position on the left hand side. Layer duplicate & rotate left 90. Position along the bottom.

Copy and paste Element 6, resize 60% & drop shadow. Position along the top.

Copy and paste Ribbon 6, resize 55% & drop shadow. Position along the bottom. Repeat with Ribbon 2, resizing 65%, mirror & position on the left hand side.

Copy and paste Element 2, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner. Copy and paste Element 2, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position next to your first poinsettia. Layer duplicate and move to the other side of the first poinsettia just under it.

Copy and paste Element 4, resize 40% & drop shadow. Position top left hand corner.

Copy and paste Element 1, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position bottom right hand corner.

Copy and paste your word art, resize 50% & then 40%. Adjust color balance/manual color correction/from black to #800000. Adjust/add remove noise/add noise/random monochrome checked/65%. I then added a size 3 fat white gradient glow followed by drop shadow.

At this point if you need to, resize your tag. I have used 500x500. Add your copyright and name.

I have used Cutie Pie, Size 60, color #005200 and the same effects I used on the word art.

If you decide not to add animation, save and you are done.

If you are choosing to add animation, save your tag as jpeg and open it in Animation shop (or merge all flatten in PSP, copy and paste in Animation shop). Edit/duplicate selected until you have 15 frames.

Open your animation in Animation shop, select all and edit/copy.

Minize and return to your tag and edit/select all. Then click the Propagate Paste Icon on your AS toolbar, it looks like 3 little pages.

Then edit/paste/into selected frame and click on your tag where you want your animation to start. You will see a small white splat on the first animation frame. I positioned mine right in the centre of my ornament.

View/Animation to see if you like the placement of your animation. If it isn't to your liking, edit/undo paste and redo the last step.

Save as gif.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. Pls feel free to experiment and use my tutorial as a guide.

Let's get started

New image 600x600 and floodfill with white. New raster layer, select all, paste into selection Paper 15. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask4, invert transparency unchecked, and merge group.

Duplicate twice and rename your layers Mask 1,2 and 3. On your first Mask layer apply the following Xenofex/Constellation.

Apply the same effects to your next Mask layer and hit random once. Apply again to your last Mask layer hitting random twice. Select none. If you decide not to animate your tag, then just skip the duplicate twice.

Copy and paste Element 43, resize 70% & drop shadow. I have used 2/240/4 throughout.

Copy and paste Element 77 & resize 70%. Using your magic wand, select the center portion of your frame, selections modify/expand 2. Copy and paste below your frame your tube & resize as necessary. Layer duplicate and drag this layer above your frame. On the tube layer below you frame, hit delete. Select none. Select the tube layer above your frame and erase the bottom portion of the tube so it appears to be coming out of your frame. Drop shadow your frame.

Copy and paste Element 67, resize 50% & drop shadow. Position bottom of your frame.

Copy and paste Element 26, resize 45% & drop shadow. Position bottom left hand corner. Copy and paste Element 21, resize 45%, rotate left 85 & drop shadow. Position on your greenery.

Copy and paste Element 54, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position hanging from the right hand side. Copy and paste Element 70, resize 30% & drop shadow. Position so it appears the butterfly is holding the hanging heart.

Copy and paste your Word Art. Adjust color balance/manual color correction from black to #b24885. Adjust/add remove noise/add noise/random monochrome checked 35%. I then added a size 3 fat white gradient glow & then drop shadow.

At this point if you need to, resize your tag. I have used 500x500. Add your copyright and name.

I have used for the Word Art, 2Peas Typo Size 16 color #046475 and typed out Under the Sea on my tag. I then added a small noise effect, adjust add/remove noise, monochrome uniform checked 50% and then a size 3 medium white gradient glow.

For the name, I have used 2 Peas Sunshine, size 60, color #b24885 and then added the same noise, gradient glow and drop shadow as with the word art.

If you are choosing not to animate, then you can save your tag.

To animate, close off Mask 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 Layer 1 and open Mask Layer 2, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS. Close off Mask Layer 2 and open Mask Layer 3, Edit/Copy Merged and paste after current frame in AS.

Let's get started

Open your template in PSP & delete credits layer. Image/Canvas Size/600x600. New raster layer, floodfill with white. On your layers palette, right click on the white layer, arrange & send to bottom.

New raster layer just above your background layer & floodfill with #9a3347. Select all, copy and paste into selection Paper 7. Select none. New mask layer from image, WSL_Mask366, invert transparency unchecked. Merge group & resize 105%.

Select Rectangle Fill layer, select/all/float/defloat, copy and paste your tube or image, resize as necesary, selections invert, hit delete once & select none. Delete original Rectangle Fill layer.

If your tube or image has more open areas, floodfill a background layer first.

Select Rectangle Frame layer. Adjust/Color Balance/Manual Color correction from #606060 to #9a3347. Adjust/add remove noise/add noise/random monochrome checked 65%. I then added the following Eye Candy Impact/Glass Effect followed by drop shadow. I have used 2/2/40/4 throughout.


Copy and paste Rose Vine tube, resize as necessary, flip & drop shadow. Position along the bottom of your frame. If you are using a different tube set and don't have this, feel free to use a decorative flower vine you would have in a kit.

Select Square 1 layer, select all/float/defloat, copy and paste your tube or image, resize as necessary, position so you can see an interesting part of your tube, selections invert, hit delete once & select none. Delete original Square 1 layer.

Repeat this with Square 2 & 3 layers.

Select Square Frame layer, adjust/color balance/manual color correction from #a0a0a0 to #448f24. Repeat the same effects you used on the larger frame earlier.

Copy and paste Rose Vine tube, resize as necessary & drop shadow. Position along the top of your top small frame. Layer duplicate, rotate right 90 and position along the side of your bottom frame.

Copy and paste Word art & resize 40%/35%. I then added the same noise effect as used before, followed by a size 3 fat white gradient glow & then drop shadow.

Add copyright and name on your tag. I used TheNautiGal, Size 72, Color black. Add the noise effect, gradient glow & drop shadow we used with word art.

Save and you are done.
