This tutorial was written June 30th, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers and selections.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m using a stunning tube by Verymany at Pics For Design.
I also used a PTU kit called “Eterrnal Torment” by CBJ. Unfortunately this kit is no longer available in any stores.
Here is a preview of the kit:

(Click on the image to see it in full view)
In my second example at the bottom, I used an old FTU kit called “Turquoise Dream” by Vixpsp.

Materials you need:
A mask of your choice. I used “BigMask018" by Vix.
A font that you like. I used “WHaupe_Circus”.
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (Optional)

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas, 750 x 700 pixels.
I start by pasting the tube and move it to the bottom left. You can also do this towards the end of the tutorial if you want. The reason I do it now, is because she is sitting and she isn’t centred, so it makes it easier to paste all the bits I want to use behind her.
The tube I use has been colorized to match the kit. Do not do this unless you know how to colorize and it’s allowed according to the artist/company TOU.
I resized my tube down by 50% and added a drop shadow to it (using the settings mentioned above).

Paste a frame below the tube. I had to resize mine down by 50% and I moved it slightly to the right.
Activate your selection tool with the rectangle setting. Draw out a rectangle that follows the frame, like this:

Add a new raster below the frame and paste a paper in to the selection.
I used P13.
Select none. Add a drop shadow to the frame.

Time to add some elements. I used only a small selection from the kit. Here is a list with name, size and placement:
Envelope: down to 30%. Placed at the bottom towards the bow on the frame.
I took my freehand selection tool and traced a part of the ribbon like this:

I promoted the selection to a layer and moved it above the envelope.
Select none and go to the frame layer. Carefully erase along the area where you got a double drop shadow (underneath the selection you promoted). Make sure that you don’t remove too much.
Red sequins: Resize down to 40% and place at the bottom of the envelope.
Stars: resize to 40% and place above the paper, inside the frame. Duplicate and move it below the other stars. See my tag for reference.
Lilac Blue: Resize down to 40% and place it behind the envelope, a little up and to the right.
Red Flutter: Resize down to 40% and place it on the Lilac Blue.
Flower3: Activate the bottom layer and paste the flower. Move it up and a little to the left.
Red Plant: Resize to 60% and place it below Flower3, up and to the left.
Cardboard Heart 2: Resize down to 30% and place in front of the envelope. Rotate 15 degrees to the left.
Add any other elements you like.
Add a drop shadow to the layers.
If you haven't added your tube already, now is the time to do it.
Don't forget to add a drop shadow to the tube layer as well.

Activate the bottom layer and paste a paper as a new layer.
Add your mask and merge group.
Crop your tag with Merge Opaque.
Add your name or saying and place it to your liking.
I placed it on the heart and rotated it 15 degrees to the left before converting it to raster.
I added a Gradient Glow using two different shades of red/pink from the tag.
I used the Fat setting and these numbers:

I also added a drop shadow to the name.
Resize your tag to 550px on the longest side
and add proper copyright to the tag.
I always add a thin Gradient Glow to the copyright info, in a contrasting colour or one that matches the background.

Save your tag in png or jpg and you’re done!
Thanks for trying my tut J

Here is another example using a FTU kit by Vix:

I also used a few elements from other FTU kits she has released in the past and colorized them to match the tag.

  This tutorial was written June 2nd, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
It’s assumed that you have working knowledge on how to resize and working with layers.
Any similarity to any other tutorial is purely coincidental.
Please look at my TOU for more info.
The link to the snags can be found at the bottom.

The supplies you need:
Any tube you decide on. I’m using a gorgeous tube by Anna Liwanag at CDO.
I also used a PTU kit called “Fairy Tale Dreams” by GrnIz Dezinez.
Here is a preview of the kit:

Materials you need:
A mask of your choice. I used “Mask91" by Trese.
A font that you like. I used “Calligraffitti”.
Eye Candy 4000 – Gradient Glow (Optional)

My settings for drop shadow: 3, 3, 70, 8, Black.

Make a new canvas, 700 x 700 pixels.
Paste element 14 as a new layer.
Paste a paper of choice underneath the frame. I used Paper 9.
Paste a close up of the tube as a new layer and place it towards the right side,
inside the frame.
Activate the frame layer. With your magic wand active, click inside the frame and expand the selection by 10 and Invert.
Go to the close up and hit Delete and do the same for the paper layer.
Deselect.

Go to the close up again and change the layer properties to Overlay or another suitable setting.

Paste element 17 at the bottom and place it towards the top left side. Move it so that the colours are lined up with the stripes on the frame.
Go to the top layer and paste element 40. Resize it down to 70% and place it on the right side.
Paste element 37. Resize it down to 85%.
Paste element 49 and place it a little bit below the rainbow, as an extension to the clouds.
Paste element 18 or 19 and mirror it.
Paste the tube and place it on the left side.
Paste element 39 and place it along the bottom of the frame.
See my tag for reference.
  I selected and promoted part of her dress to make it look like the edge of her dress is above it.

Make sure you’re on the top layer and paste element 26. Resize it to 60% and place it in the bottom left corner. Paste element 25, resize it to 50% and place it in front of the other flower element, a little to the side.
Paste element 23, resize it to 50% and place at the bottom right corner.
See my tag for reference.
Paste element 12 and resize it to 50% and place it at the bottom right corner.
Paste the carriage. Resize it down to 50% and place it in the bottom corner.

Add any other embellishments you like. The kit has tons of gorgeous things you can add. I have only shown a few of them.

Ok, time to add a drop shadow to all the layers if you haven’t done it already.
Crop your tag with Merge Opaque.
Go to the bottom layer and add a paper. I already had a bottom layer that was blank, so I selected all and pasted a paper into the selection and Deselected. I used Paper 7.
  Add your mask to this layer and Merge Group.

Set foreground and background to a colour from the tag.
Activate the Text Tool, choose the font and size (I used 80 px) you want to use and type out the name or saying. Convert to raster.
I added a Gradient Glow using the Fat setting and a light colour from the tag.
Add a drop shadow to the name.

Resize your tag. I resized mine to 550px on the longest side.
Add your copyright info and save it as a png.

Thanks for trying my tutorial!

I also made some matching snags that you can find HERE, along with all the other Anna Liwanag snags I have made in the past.
