Be The World (FTU)

7:48 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental and unintentional.

It is written for those with a working knowledge of PSP. I used PSP9 but any version should work.

Materials needed:

Scrap kit of choice: I used a FTU kit by FantasyMoments

Font of Choice: I used Gabriola

Filter needed: EyeCandy 4000, gradient glow

Let's get started! This is a simple tag but I liked the way it came out.

First open a new image 750x750 (you will resize later).

copy and paste as a new layer a paper from your kit I chose paper18.

Next apply your mask. Layers, load/save mask, Merge, merge group.

Now choose the elements you'd like to use from your kit I chose element's 68 and 6.

I placed element 6 and used gradient glow with settings 6.78,25,100 with a complimentary color from my tube.

Next I placed my tube and applied a drop shadow of 3,3,70,13 then added a gradient glow with the above settings.

Duplicate your tube and move a copy below your frame (element6). Next using your erase tool erase the top layer around your frame to compliment your tube.

Next you resize your word art to compliment your tag I resized mine 25. then using your manual color correct tool and your magic want to color your word art as desired.

Place your wordart as desired to compliment your tag. Next add whatever elements you desire I used element 68 and added a drop shadow as above and the same gradient glow.

Merge, merge group. Next I chose the pink glitter spats and placed beneath my group layer twice, one layer resized 125.

Next the Cream glitter swirl frame goes above the group layer resized 140.Opacity adjusted to 60.

Now the Pink string frame is placed and resized 115. Then I adjusted the hue to match the splatter.

Next I added a drop shadow of 3,3,70,13 (Oh and I added this drop shadow to the glitter platters too).

Now place your tube as desired. I added the same drop shadow as above then duplicated and moved a copy under the

string frame. Then on the original tube layer. I used the erase tool to make small adjustments so it fit my frame better.

Next I resized the key and the pink wrap tear paper by 25 and rotated the tear paper and adjust the hue a bit to fit the splatter.

I added some of the word art also resized 25 and added a drop shadow to the paper and the key and rotated the key using free rotate.

Hi!

7:08 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

Just posted a new tutorial, but I wanted to let you all know why I've been MIA. Back in February we ha a terribly and unexpected loss to our family. My 34 year old brother in law passed away in his sleep. We have been devastated. For many months it has been all I could to to hold my family together and still be sane. We still have struggles, but I'd rather be here making tags and tuts to keep from being depressed and moody. I didn't meant to just disappear but like I said it was quite sudden. Thank you for understanding and being patient while I get it back together.

Now let's get back to tagging!!

BBQ

7:02 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me and any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

PSP 9 was used to write this tutorial, but any version should work.

Lets begin.

Material you will need are:

Scrap Kit of Choice: I used All American Cook Out by Stacey's Design

Mask of choice: I used 221 from Insatiable Dream

Font of choice: I used Kingthings Willow

Open a new image 750x750, you will resize later.

Flood fill with a color from your scrap kit. Click layer load/save mask and apply your mask. Merge merge group.

open a new raster layer flood fill with another color from your kit and repeat the steps above then image resize unclick resize all layers

and resize the layer 60. Repeat this step with another color from your kit and resize 40.

Now start choosing your elements from your kit. I chose the picnic table and the lounge chair resized 80 and added a drop shadow of 3,3,100,13.

You should resize according to your preference and placement of elements. Next I chose the grill resized 80 as well I duplicated this and put the same drop shadow on the copied layer.

I move this layer beneath then placed a background of my tube and the tube above each layer with the tube being on top of the original grill layer. Using my erase tube I erased what I didn't want from my background art.

Next I used the erase tub on the original grill layer to fit my tag.

On my tube I added the 3,3,100,13 drop shadow. Next I added the triple frame using the magic want tool select inside each of the frames and then create new layer flood fill with color of choice then invert and delete. move this layer beneath your frame layer.

now invert again and repeat the process using various tube from your artist inverting and deleting each time and re-inverting after each tube. Finally you will choose other elements to complement your tags resized as desired. I chose button, the cooler the umbrella, utensils, beer, chips, soda and tanning lotion all resized to fit my tag.

Now resize as desired, add the copyright information and you are done. Don't forget to add your name.

Thank you for completing my tutorial.

Kaci's Kits & Kadoodles

Hi, I'm Kaci. Nope not that Kaci, the other one. I am still fairly new to PSPing compared to some and I love it!! I want to continue to learn so I can get better and continue making my own scrap kits. I love to make new friends so stop by and visit my little corner over here.

I'm still learning to blog too, so be patient while I figure this out, and I'm learning to do blog layouts, lol. I'm happy to have a few followers and look forward to more.

I've recently ventured into Digital scrap-booking store ownership with friends, so feel free to check out the links on the page.

I also love to knit, crochet (not really good at that just yet), read, cook, bake and learn new things. Most of what I post will probably be PSP related, but Iwill occasionally vent here too. Please leave a comment let me know what you think or if you want me to try something for a freebie.

I would love to see the results of my tutorials if you want to share. Please email them to me at kaciskitsnkadoodles@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing results of my tuts so come on email me lol!!!
