Supplies Needed:

Tube: I am using one of Jose Cano, purchased from PTE (now closed)

Scrap kit: The December BlogTrainAd 2010 by Charlie found here

Template: BP_template 89 by Becky’s Creations (could not be found so you can download it from my Box) here

Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (optional)

Open the template, duplicate and close the original. Delete the copyright and TOU.

Select Frame Fill, go to Selections - Select All - Float - Defloat.

Copy and paste a paper of choice above the selected layer. Position to your liking. Go to Selections - Invert and hit delete on the keyboard. Delete the template layer. Apply a drop shadow.

Repeat the above steps for the remaining template layers.

I then applied a Gradient glow using Eye Candy 4000 to the dotted frame and snowflakes, this of course is optional.

Open the file that has the gold stars, using the Freehand Selection Tool, select and copy the stars. Paste them into the template. Resize to your liking, position them above the background for the rectangle. Apply a drop shadow. Duplicate as many as you like placing them around the background. You can also use different sizes if preferred. 

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer, resize if needed. Move this layer just below the frame for the rectangle. Place on the left hand side so the circle is not fully blocking the tube. Apply a drop shadow. Erase any of the tube that is sticking out below the frame.

Open the file that has the silver stars, using the Freehand Selection Tool, select and copy the stars. Paste them into the template. Resize to your liking, position them above the background for the circle. Apply a drop shadow. Duplicate as many as you like placing them around the background. You can also use different sizes if preferred. 

Copy and paste the tube as a new layer, resize if needed. Move this layer just below the frame for the circle. Position to your liking. Apply a drop shadow. Erase any of the tube that is sticking out below the frame. I used a smaller tube for the circle, it’s totally up to you.

Open the file containing the green and red ribbon, using the Freehand Selection Tool, select and copy the green and then the red ribbon. Paste onto the template, resize to your liking. I resized the red a little smaller than the green. Place in the left hand corner of the circle frame overlapping the tag. Move the red one on top of the green. Apply a drop shadow to both ribbons.

Open the file with the poinsettia, using the Freehand Selection Tool, select and copy the poinsettia. Paste it into the template. Resize to your liking, position over top the ribbon, on the edge of the circle frame. Apply a drop shadow.

Add any copyrights and your name. Crop, resize if desired. Save as a PNG (close background first).
