A Steampunk Winter


This tutorial was written by me on November 11, 2024. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating it.

Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

Animation Shop (Optional)

FTU Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "A Steampunk Winter" created by Curious Creative Dreams.  It contains 125 Elements - 6 Frames - 15 Elements - 5 tubes - AI generated.  You can download it from his blog here.

Mask:  Mask 0372 by Sophisticat Simone. Thank you for your awesome masks.  You can download it from her blog here

Mask:  Mask 92 by Vivienne's Paintbox. Thank you for your awesome masks.  You can download it from her blog here. I am using the png versions for this tutorial. 

Animation (Optional)

FTU animations by Sophisticat Simone:
Winter Wonderland word art from this pack here.

Blue glow animation from this pack here.

Font of choice for your name.

Plug in: None

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 3, Opacity 75, Blur 10, color black.

I use Vivienne’s drop shadows quite a bit as I really like the look of her shadows.  Thank you for letting me use your settings for my tutorials.

Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.

An image can get blurred when you resize an element or tube in PSP.  I use unsharpen mask for each item.  Vivienne has wonderful tips and tricks on how to do this here.

Let’s get started.

Open a new 800x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.  Flood fill with white.

Remember to sharpen and drop shadow each image as you create the tag.

Open Simone's mask in PSP and minimize.

Open paper 10 and copy.  

Select the tag.  Select all, add a new raster layer and paste into selection. Select none.  Layers, New mask layer - from image.  locate Simone's mask in the drop down and apply.  Merge group.  Resize 80% and move to the top center slightly to the left.

Element 30 - Resize 40% move to the upper left of the tag.

Element 72 - Resize 35% move to the upper left of element 30.

Element 123 - Resize 40% move to the right of element 72.

Element 4 - Resize 50% move to the left of element 123.

Element 100 - Resize 20% move to the bottom right of element 123.

Element 102 - Resize 25% move to the bottom left of element 100.

Element 75 - Resize 35% move to the bottom left of the tree.

Element 31 - Resize 10% move to the bottom right of element 75.

Element 17 - Resize 10% move to the bottom right of element 75 by the door.

Element 61 - Resize 15% move to the bottom right of element 31.

Element 95 - Resize 10% move to the bottom left of element 61.

Element 13 - Resize 10% move to the bottom of Santa's feet.

Element 62 - Resize 15% move to the bottom left of element 13.

Element 2 - Resize 30% move to the bottom of the bear so the star is touching his shoulder.  See mine for placement.

Element 107 - Resize 10% move to the bottom left of the tree.

Element 22 - Resize 5%, free rotate to the left 10 degrees and move to the bottom left of the standing elf.  See mine for placement.

Element 119 - Resize 13% move to the bottom right of element 31.

Element 76 - Resize 13% move to the bottom right of the train.

Element 103 - Resize 10% move to the bottom right of element 76.

Element 15 - Resize 10% move to the bottom right of the tree.

Element 60 - Resize 13% move to the bottom left of element 15.

Select Simone's mask.  Copy Vivienne's mask and paste as a new layer.  Use your deform tool and apply the following settings:

Select all, float, Defloat.  Add a new raster layer.  Copy and paste paper 3 into selection.  Delete Viv's original mask.  Move the first mask under the bear.  Duplicate - Mirror and move under the building with the crouching elf.  This is the settings I used for deform tool.  Click on image to enlarge it.


Duplicate this layer and resize to your liking. Move to the bottom right under the sitting elf.  This is the settings I used for the deform tool.  Click on image to enlarge it.


These are just estimated placements and you might need to make adjustments.

See my tag for placements.

Move the bottom two mask layers under Simone's mask.

Add any other elements you would like and make any adjustments on the tag.

Crop and resize your tag.  I resize mine to 650px on the width (if needed) as that is what fits my blog best.

Add your name and copyright.

Hide the white background and save as png if you are not going to animate.

Continue from here if you are going to animate.

Select the mask layer all the way to element 72 by holding down the Ctrl key and selecting each layer.  Merge selected.

Select element 4 layer and holding down the ctrl key select each layer until you reach the top layer.  Merge selected.

Your layer panel should look like this.



I leave my white background as a separate layer in the event I just want a non animated tag.

Hide all layers except the white background and the bottom merged layer.

Time for some animation time.

Animation:

Open animation shop.  

Select prolong paste on the top toolbar.


I do this everytime I open Animation Shop.

We will be working with the .mng files.

Open animation SimoneAni-Fall2023-02 - Select all (Ctrl + A).  Animation-Resize animation 25%.  18 frames

Open SS_WinterlandWordAnimation and resize 20%. 16 frames

The two animations have different frame amounts but that is ok.  I'm going to show you how to use them with out culling the frames. 

Back to PSP.  

Only the white background and bottom merged layer should be visible.  Edit - Copy special, copy merged.

Back to animation shop and paste as a new animation.  Duplicate until you have 18 frames.  The amount of frames from the first ani.

The bottom right corner will show you know how many frames you have.

Select all (Ctrl +A)  once you have 18 frames.

Select Simone's Fall 2023-2 ani and select all.  Edit, copy.

Select your tag.  Edit, select all, Edit, paste into selected frames.  Your animation will be hanging off your mouse pointer.  Move it over the center of the large cog and left click your mouse.  Note: Hit Ctrl + Z if you are unhappy with the placement and redo the past into selected frames.

Close Simone's Fall ani as we no longer need it.

Back to PSP.

Close off your white background layer and bottom merged layer.  Select all - Ctrl + A - and unhide element 123 layer.  This should be the only layer visible.

Back to animation shop and paste as a new animation.  Duplicate until you have 18 frames.  

The bottom right corner will show you know how many frames you have.

Select all once you have 18 frames.  Edit, copy.

Back to your tag, 

Edit, select all, Edit, paste into selected frames.  Your animation will be hanging off your mouse pointer.  Move it move it over to the left of the large cog and left click your mouse.  Note: Hit Ctrl + Z if you are unhappy with the placement and redo the past into selected frames.  You can also reference your PSP tag to see where it needs to be placed.

Now we will be working with Simone's Winterland Word Animation which only has 16 layers but we need 18 frames.  Select the first animation frame (should be highlighted in blue).  Go to Edit, Duplicate selected.  Select the very last frame of the animation and repeat the last step.  You should now have 18 frames.  
Edit, select all, Edit, paste into selected frames.  Your animation will be hanging off your mouse pointer.  Move it move it to the top of element 123 and left click your mouse.  Note: Hit Ctrl + Z if you are unhappy with the placement and redo the past into selected frames.

Close Simone's animation and do not save changes.
  
You should now only have the animated tag visible.

Select all, Animation - Frame Properties and change the speed to 15.

Go to file Save as, gif and click next and next until you hit finished.  I use the default settings.

Have fun!!

Frame 1 – Resize 40% and move to the upper right of the large mask.  Using the magic wand, click in the center of the frame.  Selections, modify, expand by 5.  Add a new raster layer and drag this under the frame layer.  Copy paper of choice.  I am using paper 16.  Select the new raster layer and paste into selections.  Deselect and drop shadow the frame.

Space Kingdom


This tutorial was written by me on May 29, 2024. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating it.

Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

PTU Kit:  I am using a super fun kit called "Space Kingdom" created by Blu Moon Designs.  You can purchase the kit here.

Mask:  MIZ_Mask_383 by Mizteeques. Thank you for your awesome masks.  You can download it from her blog here. I am using the jpg versions for this tutorial.  Open in PSP and minimize.

Font of choice for your name.

Plug in: DSB Flux - Linear Transmission.

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 3, Opacity 75, Blur 10, color black.

An image can get blurred when you resize an element or tube in PSP.  I use unsharpen mask for each item.  Vivienne has wonderful tips and tricks on how to do this here.

Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.

Let’s get started.

Open a new 800x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.  Flood fill with white.

Remember to sharpen and drop shadow each image as you create the tag.

Copy and paste AI-pp 12.  Resize 80% and apply Mizteeques mask.  Merge group and resize 85%, and again by 70%. flip and mirror the mask.  Move up slightly. Erase the hard line on the top of the mask using the  eraser tool with the hardness set to 50.    Duplicate and flip.  Move to the lower left of the first mask.  Apply DSB Flux Linear Transmissions to each mask with the following setting:

Then go to Adjust, add noise and apply the following settings to each mask.

AI-EL 6, Resize 40%, mirror and move to the top right of the mask.  Change the blend mode to soft light.

AI El 10 – Resize 15%, rotate 10 degrees to the right and move to the top left of AI-EL 6. Drop Shadow.

Add any other elements that you would like on your tag.

Select the second mask.  Using your eraser tool, hardness set to 100.  Erase the bottom part that is sticking out from the bottom of the tag.

Crop and resize your tag.  I resize mine to 650px on the width (if needed) as that is what fits my blog best.
