Cuddly Rigor Mortis Winter Siggy

You will need:

Photo editing software.  I used paint.net found HERE

Cuddly Rigor Mortis tube found HERE

 **You MUST purchase a valid license to use this tube**

FTU Winter Frost Scrap kit from Daph's Scrappin' found HERE

Mask number 434 from Vixpsp found HERE

Let's Get Started!

• Create a new canvas 440 x 440.  This is the canvas for your final product

• In a separate canvas, open your paper of choice from the kit and apply a mask by going to "Effects", "Object", "Alpha Mask" and then browsing for your saved mask.

• Crop and resize mask to 80% (Use the "Rotate/Zoom option under "Layers")
• Copy and paste mask layer into your canvas
• On your extra canvas, import another paper, than a frame in a separate layer (I used frame 2).
• Make sure the frame is on a layer above the paper.
• Using the "Ellipse" select tool, select an area that will fit the inside of your frame
• Go to "Edit", then choose "Invert selection" and "Erase Selection".  The paper should now only be visible inside the frame.
• Merge the two layers, then resize to 50%
• Copy and paste the frame into your canvas
• Open your tube, resize it to 50%, then copy and paste it into your canvas.
• Add other desired elements following the same process (import, resize, copy and paste)
• I used the following elements:
• swag
• spruse
• berrybush
• poinsettia 3
• snowflakes 1 & 2
• Add your name and outline it as you wish by going to "Effects", "Object", "Outline"
• Add drop shadow to each layer, if desired, by going to "Effects", "Object", "Drop Shadow"
•  Add your copyright info and license number
•  Delete the background layer and save
• I usually save it in pdn format in case I want to edit it later, then I save it in png format

Happy Tagging!

PTU Tut- PinUp Toons Pink Christmas

 You will need:

Photo editing software (I used paint.net)
PinUp Toons Tube available for purchase HERE.  You must have a proper license to use this tube.
FTU scrap kit by Karens Scraps and Graphics  available HERE and HERE  (this is a two part freebie)
Mask from Vix found HERE  (I used mask 018)

Let's Begin:

• Create a new 440 x 440 canvas.  This is the size I use because I use my tags on Cafemom.  You may choose to make a slightly bigger canvas.
• On another canvas import frame (element 15) and resize to 50%
• Choose the background you would like for your mask and import it to your extra canvas.  Move it down until it's under the frame
•  Apply the mask and resize it about 85%
• Move and adjust it until the "solid" part of the mask is under the frame and the edges are sticking out around the frame.
• Copy and paste the frame and mask into your 440 x 440 canvas
• Add drop shadow to your frame.
• Import tube into a separate canvas and resize to 65%
• Copy and paste her into a new layer of your 440 x 440 canvas
• To make her appear to be coming out of the frame, copy and paste her on the layer above the frame.  Then go back to the frame layer and, using your magic wand, select the area inside the frame.
• Invert selection
• Go to the tube layer and erase the parts of the tube you want to appear to be under the frame.
• Import Christmas tree to your extra canvas and resize to 45%
• Copy and paste into a new layer between the background and the frame.  Resize again if necessary
• Add a new layer and use Rotate Text SUI to add your text (I used Alex Brush)
• Outline the text as desired
• Add drop shadow
• In a new layer, add your name (I used Action is Wide and a foward diagonal fill)
• Outline the name, then add noise and drop shadow
• Add you copyright information with your license number

Thanks for stopping by and happy tagging!
