 To open an image, I click on the element or paper in the file folder and drag it into PS.

To transfer an element or paper in PS to my tag, I left click and drag it into my working canvas.  

The other way is to left click and drag the element from the folder right onto your tag. 

 Either way you will get the same results, but the resizing will be different :).  I will be using both methods for this tutorial.

 For resizing and rotating I use the Ctrl+T command.

 To mirror or Flip go to Edit>Transform>Flip Horizontal (mirror) or Flip vertical (Flip).

 Remember to save often.

 Crop away any extra space.  

 Image, Image Size and resize 650 on the longest side if needed.

 Oh almost forgot we need to drop shadow all of our elements.  I do the drop shadow at the end :)

 Select the element on the bottom of your tag in the layer pallet and double click it.  I started with element 1.

 A layer style window will pop up.  Click on Drop shadow. and use the following settings.

 Click on image to enlarge it to view it better.

 

Now right click on the layer you just applied the drop shadow.  Click copy layer style.

 Now click on the layer above and hold down the shift key, select the layer under the paper layer of the frame.  Right click and paste layer styles.  

 Select the frame layer, holding down the shift key, select the layer under the paper layer of the frame.  Right click and paste layer styles.  

 Select the top frame layer, holding down the shift key, select the top layer.  Right click and paste layer styles.

 Drop shadow complete :)

I also added a stroke to the wordart layers.  Each element 49 I added a stroke of 1 outside in black.

Double click the element layer to bring up the layer style window.  Select stroke and apply a stroke of 1 to the outside color black.

 Click on image to view better.

Add your copyright and name.

Make any adjustments to the layers.

 If you do not want to animate.  Hide the white background layer and export your tag as png.

 Might want to grab a coffee :)

 Select the tube layer, right click, and duplicate.

 Standing on the duplicate layer, right click and clear layer style.  Go to Filter, Blur, Gaussian Blur, and type in 5.  Click ok.  Holding down the Ctrl key, click on the original tube layer in the layer's pallet.  You will see marching ants.  Standing on the duplicate layer, go to Layers, Layer mask, reveal selection.  Change the blend mode to soft light and lower the opacity to 60%.

 Open Kiya's psd file in PS.  You will notice that there is 25 layers in this animation, and it does not have the group layer.

 We need to group all the layers.  Starting from layer 25, hold down your ctrl key and select each odd layer.  So the next one would be 23, 21, 19 all the way down to layer 1.

 Next, we need to group these layers.  Go to Layers, Group layers or Ctrl + G on the Keyboard.  You will see group 1 folder at the top.  Make sure Group 1 is selected.

 Select the layer you would like the animation to be placed in your tag.  I selected the top frame layer.

 Make sure Auto-Select on the move tool is not checked when you are working with the animation.

 Back to the animation.  Click on Group 1 and drag it into your tag.  CTRL + T and resize 70%.  Move to the middle of the frame so it is behind the tube.

Close the original animation and do not save changes.

 Click on the little white arrow beside Group 1 to expand it.  Click on the eyeball of each layer to hide it but leave frame layer 1 visible.  Click on the arrow beside group one to hide it as we do not want to accidentally make any changes.

 Next make sure your Timeline viewer is open on the bottom of PS.  I you do not see a row that has Timeline on the bottom, go to Windows, Timeline.

 In the center of the Timeline viewer, you will see a drop-down box.  On the drop down select Create Frame Animations.  You should now see frame one in the timeline.

 Next is animating.

 Click on the little icon (four white lines) at the right end of the animation screen then select make frames from layers.

 You are going to see a big mess in the animation window, but we are going to fix this.

 Click on the first frame, hold down the shift key and select the frame layer (animation frame 19) and click on the trash can in the timeline window.

 Now you should be at the first frame of the animation.  Click on frame 14 and hold down the shift key and select the last frame layer.  Click on the trash can in the timeline window.  This will leave you with 13 frames.

 This next step is particularly important.  Any changes you do from here you must be on frame 1 in the Timeline viewer. It will be highlighted in white.

 Go to the bottom of your tag in the layer’s pallet.  Make sure you have animation frame 1 selected.

 Click on the eyeball beside each layer to make it visible.  For the white base layer, you may have to click on the eyeball a couple of times to make it visible in all the animation frames.  It is a Photoshop thing.  Do not touch the group layer.

 Next, I want to slow down the animation.  With the first frame selected, hold down the shift key and click on frame 13.  This will select all the frames.

 Next, click on the little black arrow beside the 0 sec as we want to change the speed.  A pop-up window will appear.

 I selected other and typed in 0.15 in the animation box.  Now click on the play button to view the animation.  Click on it again to stop it.

 Click frame 1 again so we do not accidentally make any changes.

 Now to save our tag as a gif.

 Go to File>Export>Save for Web (Legacy).

A new pop-up window will appear.  Change the settings to my screen shot below.  My screen shot will look different, but the settings are the same.
