This tutorial was written by me on June 12, 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 fabulous kit called "Dad’s Garage 3" created by Carita Creationz.  It contains 60 unique elements (incl. 7 frames), 1 tube and 10 papers.  You can purchase the kit 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. 

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.

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.

Mask_Vivienne_0092 – Move to the top center of the tag.  Select all, float, defloat.  Add a new raster layer.  Open paper of choice.  I am using pp01.  Copy the paper, standing on the new raster layer, go to Edit, paste into selections.  Select none and delete Vivienne’s original mask layer.

Element 16 – Resize 60% and move to the bottom of the top left of the mask.  Select the mask layer.  Select all, float, defloat.  Select element 16 layer, selections invert and hit delete on your keyboard a couple times.  Select none.

Add any other elements you would like on the tag.

Hide the white background and save as png.
