Missing My Friend (No Scraps)

12:56 AM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Tube or tubes of choice, from the same artist, I used the art of ©Zindy which requires a license which may be purchased at Zindy Zone .

Font of choice, I used Waters Gothic Deux.

Filter: Eyecandy 4000 HSB Noise, & Gradient glow (for Your name)

Animation shop.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 600x300, and flood fill with a color from your tube.

Open a new raster layer and flood fill with a different/complimentary color from your tube.

Re-size this raster by 90 or 95 depending how wide you want your frame, I used 90.

Close off this layer for now.

Go to your HSB noise, and use these settings,

or setting you prefer.

Duplicate this layer twice, if you'd like you may rename this frame 1 & 2 and the original layer frame.

Renaming may make it easier to keep track later on.

Click on frame 1 layer and go to HSB Noise and hit random seed. You may do this once or as many times as you like.

Repeat this step on frame two. Close off each duplicate layer after making the change.

Do the same with the re-sized raster layer, including renaming (background)if that will help you keep track.

If you have chosen two different tubes (from the same artist) choose the tube you want in the background and copy and paste as a new layer in the image.

Now using your erase tool erase bits of the tube that move too far over mid way of the tag.

If there are well defined edges use the erase tool and the smudge brush to soften the edge and blend.

Now reduce the transparency of this layer to 50. Of course you may adjust this to suit your taste.

Using your other tube, copy and paste into your image and add a drop shadow,3,3,60,12

Repeat the Blending process with the erase and smudge tools until it seems that the two tubes are blended to suit you.

Add your copyright and name then save as a PSP image.

Open Animation shop.

In PSP making sure that the 2nd & 3rd layers of the background and frame are closed (x'd out) copy merged (CTRL+Shift+C) and paste as a new animation into AS(CTRL+V).

Go to effects insert image effects and use these settings or those of your choice.

Go back to PSP and close of the first layers of the frame and background and open the second layer of each.

Copy merged again and paste behind the current layer in AS (CTRL+Shift+L). Repeat the Effect steps for this layer too.

Repeat this whole process with the 3rd layer.

Review your animation, you may adjust the Animation Frame speed if you'd like, but 10 seems to work well for me.

You have now completed my tutorial. Thank you for visiting my Blog.

Sweet Rose (PTU) using Kikeka Kits

10:16 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, I used Topaz by Kikekas Kits.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Gennadiy Koufay which requires a license which may be purchased at CDO.

(But this tube is a bonus and only available until February 29,2012)

Mask of choice, I used Gemsmask35, and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Boulevard.

Filter:

EyeCandy4000 ~Gradient Glow~

Animation shop if you choose to animate

Animation elements if you animate you may find the one I used here, its by Lovey

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750 x 750

Copy and paste as a new layer a paper from your kit. Apply your mask, and merge the group.

Using a couple of scatters or swirls from your kit paste above the merged mask layer add a gradient glow to compliment your tube.

Duplicate and mirror as desired, using the deform tool is useful in positioning too.

Take a candle element re-size 70 and place as desired adding a drop shadow.

Using the shoe element place "in front" of your candle adding a drop shadow again.

You may add a drop shadow and a gradient glow as desired to each element.

Re-size flower1 and 2 80, you may need to re-size 60 again then use your deform tool adjust and position.

Duplicate both and re-size 80 and position in a complimentary fashion around the shoe.

Re-size box2 60 position as you see fit.

Using a ribbon from your kit position as suits your vision duplicating, rotating & re-sizing as needed.

Position your tube as desired add a drop shadow above the top scatter layer, but beneath your elements.

Re-size, add your copyright and your name.

To animate:

In PSP x out all the layers above the top scatter layer. Copy merged and paste as a new animation into AS.

If you are using an animation like mine you will need to make 20 frames by holding the ctrl key and pressing the l key 19 times.

Open your animation element and select all then copy, go back to your tag select all then paste into current frame.

You may want more than one of the animations so repeat this if you'd like to.

Now go back to PSP, and un-x all the layers you have x-ed, then x the lower "background" layers.

Copy merged and paste as a new animation in AS.

Make sure the propagate and paste button in clicked then copy your new tag and copy.

Go to the animated background layers and select all and paste into current frame. this should put the "top" layer on your tag.

Check your animation, adjust the frame speed if desired.

Thank you for trying my tutorial.

Simple Beauty (FTU) using Stargazer Musings Scraps

6:48 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial was written entirely by me, using PSP9, any resemblance to any other is purely coincidental.

This tutorial should work with any version of PSP.

This tutorial is written with the belief that you have a working knowledge of PSP, but is also suitable for Advanced beginners.

Materials you will need:

Scrap Kit of choice, Purple Elegance I used by Stargazer Musings.

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Fumiko Barrows which requires a license which may be purchased at DSI.

Mask of choice, I used , gemsmask32 and you may get it here.

Font of choice, I used Lovely Audrey BG.

Filters:

Gradient Glow

Animation shop if you choose to animate.

Let's begin.

Open a new image, 750x750

Choose a paper from your kit, and apply your mask, invert transparency if desired(I did), then merge group.

Pick a frame and copy and paste as a new layer into your tag and add a gradient glow or a drop shadow.

Paste a layer of your tube beneath the frame layer add a drop shadow. Duplicate the tube and move above the frame layer.

Using your erase tool erase bits of the tube around the frame on both tube layers.

You may also use your clone tool to soften and hard edges of your tube.(I softened the small part of my tubes hair that was cut off straight).

Place a ribbon element around your frame layer as desired and embellish with flowers from your kit re-sized 30.

You may add a drop layer to each layer. Use your erase tool to Blend the layers together well.

Now using a hanging heart element you may "hang" it off your frame by using the erase tool and layering above and below the frame layer.

Re-size a dragon fly element 30 and add a drop shadow and gradient glow as desired, and place on your tag.

Repeat this process with the butterfly elements. You may use your deform tool to position.

Now re-size, add your copyright and name.

If you choose not to animate you have completed my tutorial.

If you choose to animate you need to duplicate each of the butterfly layers three times.

You should pinch or punch the duplicate layers of each between 15 & 25 depending on how you'd like your result.

Copy the original layer of your first butterfly into AS as a new animation then paste after current frame each duplicate layer of that butterfly.

Repeat this with the second butterfly making two new animations (one for each butterfly).

In animation shop chose the first of three frames of your first butterfly click on effects, then insert image effects, then Pinch.

Choose the customize, then choose horizontal, and canvas color, click OK. Adjust the frames per second to suit you and the Effect length as well.

(I used 2.4 for effect length and 1 for Frames per second).

Repeat this with the third of original frame you placed.

On the Original second frame repeat the steps, but rather than pinch you want to compress.

So you will have three frames pinch, then three frames compress then three frames pinch for a total of nine frames. Save this as an AS animation (.mng) file.

Repeat the steps with the second butterfly.

Choose one of the butterflies and select all then click animations and reverse frames. Re-save in the reverse.

Go back to PSP and copy Merged your tag, paste as a new animation in animation shop. Click ctrl-L eight times until you have 9 frames.

Make sure you have propagate and paste clicked then select all(ctrl-A).

Click on your first butterfly Select all, then copy go back to your tag frames Make sure you have all selected and paste into the current frame (ctrl-E).

Repeat this with the second butterfly.

Check your animation, and adjust the frame speed as desired (I used 15).

Thank you for trying out my tutorial.

No Angel (PTU)

5:39 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

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

PSP9 was used while writing this tutorial, but any version should work.

Materials needed:

Tube of choice, I used the art of ©Enys Guerrero. You need a license to use this art and one may be purchased @ DSI.

Scrap Kit of Choice, I used the kit Fallen Angel by CBJ Scraps.

Mask of choice, I used one by Horseplay's Pasture (number 20) which may be found here.

Font of choice, I used Affair (PTU)

Filters used: Lokas 3D, Eyecandy 4000 Gradient Glow.

Animation shop if you'd like to animate.

Let's begin.

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

Next choose a paper from the kit, I used paper 6, copy and paste as a new layer into your image and apply your mask of choice.

Layers, Load/Save Mask, Load mask from disk, ok. Then merge your mask group, click Merge, merge group.

Next choose a glitter or a bling from your kit, I used the Glitter Bling resized 40. Duplicate this layer and flip it then mirror.

Adjust your glitter as desired, or you may use my tag as a guide. Now place your tube add your

Lokas 3D with these settings

and duplicate.

Move the duplicate level beneath the original,and x the original from site for the moment.

Apply the same mask you used on the paper to your tube duplicate,then merge the group this will allow for a beautiful blend where you like it.

Now un x your original tube and using your erase tool, eras those bits that are too harsh to help the blending with the duplicate layer.

Next take a flower from your kit I used the Glittered fabric Rose and added a Gradient glow with these settings,

then add Lokas with the previous settings.

Next using the No Angel element resized 40 and using the manual color corrector change the shade of the element to a complementary color from your tube.

Add your Gradient glow same as before and your Lokas3D or a different drop shadow of choice and position as desired beneath the flower or as desired within your tag.

Now using the beaded string resized 50, place beneath the No Angel and the flower element.

You may use the deform tool to achieve the desired effect, and the erase tool for whatever bits don't suit you.

Next take the key element and add both the gradient glow and the Lokas 3D as desired ( I used the same settings as before).

Position the key beneath the flower, but above the string layer and position as desired, again you may use my tag as a reference if you'd like.

Now take a butterfly element and position as desired adding the gradient glow as before.

Resize, add your copyright and your name and you have completed this tutorial.

If you'd like to add some subtle animation you may continue.

Now x out all the layers except your Beaded String, No Angel Element, key element, Glittered rose and the butterfly elements.

Now merge visible and duplicate the merged layer three times.

Using your magic wand tool go to the first layer and click around the roses glittered edges do as much or as little as you'd like.

Next go to the Adjust, Add/Remove Noise, Add noise. Set your noise to Random, and adjust the percentage to 40%.

It should look like this:

Repeat this with each layer but changing the noise percentage on each layer, one layer to 60% and one layer to 80%.

Now x out 2 of the three layers, and coy merged and place as a new animation in Animation shop. Now repeat this with each layer, pasting after current frame until you have three frames.

check your animation to make sure it looks the way you'd like and save.

You have now completed my tutorial. Thank you.

I'd love to see any results you'd like to share, for me to post here on my blog.

Serenity...

5:36 PM | Posted by Mommie2myboys | Edit Post

This tutorial is written for those with a working knowledge of PSP. I use version 9 but any version should work. Supplies you will need:

A mask of choice, I chose mask 190 by WeeScotLass which you may find here.

A scrap kit of choice, I used a PTU kit called Serenity by Stacey's Designs A tube of choice:I chose the Art work of ©Angie Monasterio which requires a license you may purchase at CILM Animation shop if you choose to animate. Open a new image 750x750 You may re-size later. Choose a paper from your kit, I chose paper 1 copy and paste as a new layer into your image Next you load your mask from disk then click on the group, merge, merge group Now you may add your tube of choice and adjust using the deform tool to fit your mask. Add a drop shadow of choice, I used -2, -2, 90,11.0. Now comes the fun part adding your embellishments. I chose the candle re-sized @35 then again @ 20 and arranged in a grouping Then I chose the flower and the purple flower each re-sized 35 also arranged around the candle grouping each layer with a drop shadow of 2, 2, 100, 10 you may duplicate each layer as desired for placement. Next I chose the heart links with a 1, 1, 100, 10 and duplicated the layer. Next I added the butterfly pendant with the same drop shadow. Next I re-sized the Dangle 30 and added near the heart pendant drop shadowed 1, 1, 100, 10 free rotated 15 to the left then duplicated and free rotated 25 to the right next I used the erase tool to erase bits for effect. You may re-size and add your copyright now. Add your name and you are done unless you will animate. If you choose to animate:

go to your first candle layer, using your wand tool highlight the flame area as desired then duplicate the layer twice. go back to the first layer and go to effects, distortion effects then punch I used 15 on the first layer, then I repeated the steps on each of the other layers using 75 on the second layer and 100 on the last. Since I used more than on candle I repeated each of the steps on candles 2 and 3. On Candle 2 I used 20 on the first layer, 60 on the second layer and 80 on the third. On candle 3 I used 30 on the first layer, 50, on the second layer, and 90 on the third. Now ex-ing out layers 2 & 3 on all of your candle layers (all original candle layers should be visible) copy merged and move to animation shop Now ex-ing out original layer and layer three (all layer 2 candle should be visible) copy merged and and paste after current frame in animation shop. Again ex-ing out original layer and layer 2 (all layer 3 candles should be visible) copy merge and paste after current frame. Save the animation, and you are done.
