Thank you Gina for allowing me to use your kit as well as adding me to your Creative Team!

Let us begin,

•     Apply Mask to your foreground paper.  Merge Group, Copy and paste onto your background paper.
•     Copy and paste your tube where you would like
•     Add elements as desired.  I have used NH Botanical Flower 4, NH Branch 3,  NH Double tag 3, NH Fabric Leaves deco 1 and NH Scarecrow 4.  Resize and place as desired.
•     Add all wording (I Have used a gradient glow on my tag by changing the green glow setting in Eye Candy Impact 5 to a white)
•     Add all copyrights
•     Resize tag as desired.
•     Hide background and mask layers.
•     Merge Visable (This should merge your elements, tube and wording.)
•     Hide Elements layer
•     Unhide bacground and mask layer.
•     make sure in the layers palette layer you are selected on the mask layer
•     Go into your Xenofix and apply the following settings: (remember the seed number does not matter right now)

•     Copy Merged
•     Paste into Animation Shop as a new animation
•     **Back in PSP UNDO constellation
•     Now go back to the Effects panel and redo the effect, hitting the random seed button to change the placement of the stars
•     Copy Merged
•     Paste AFTER the current frame** (Redo from ** to **  at least 2 more times.  I will assume you have done it 2 more times for a total of 4 frames for the remainder of this tut)
•     Back in PSP HIDE Mask and background layers and UNHIDE the tube layer
•     Copy
•     Paste into Animation shop as a new animation. Now hit CTRL+L 3x this will give you a total of 4 frames just like the other animation. (If you have more then 4 just add the extras by hitting Ctrl+L once more for each layer)

For this tutorial I have used the Christmas Fantasy kit from Tooty Pup HERE
Animation Shop in my quick links above

Open a new 550x550 canvas
Choose a white Christmas tree from the elements 2 folder (I have used 9) and resize it as needed to fit into the blank canvas black drop shadow:. 5, 5, 80, 7
Effects>Artistic Effects> Aged Newspaper 25%.  This should give you a off white tree which is what we need for the image effect to work in animation shop.
Copy Merged
Paste as a new animation in Animation Shop
Right click on the blue bar around your frame in animation shop and choose Insert Image effect.
Select Rotate Colors  You can play with this as you would like.  I have mine at 5 secs and 4fps for a total of 21 frames.  You need to remember how many frames you have for when we go to add the rest of this tag.
Open Mother xmas and resize her about 30% and place her to the right of your tree with the same drop shadow as before.
Open Reindeer of choice (I used 6) and resize about 75% place on left side of tree.
Open presents and resize 50% and place between Mrs C and the reindeer
Open Candy-cane 1 plain, resize 20% and hang on reindeer's nose. Add drop shadow
Open word Art and resize to 10% Paste at the top of your tag
New Raster layer flood filled white, send to the bottom of the tag
Add all copyrights and wording now

OK here is where it can get confusing....
Delete your tree layer (yep that is what I said)
HIDE your white layer
Merge Visible (This should leave you with 2 layers even though you can only see one.  The background [white] and everything else.  Make sure that is correct before you proceed by checking in your layers pallette.)
Copy your background layer and paste as a new animation in Animation shop with your cursor inside the frame press Ctrl+Shft+L until you have 21 frames (if you have the application full screen it will tell you in the bottom right how many frames you have)
Cursor on your Christmas tree animation hit Ctrl +A (select all) and then Ctrl +C (Copy)
Cursor on your Background Ctrl + A and Ctrl + E (Paste in current frame)  BEFORE you click to place the tree make sure it is where you want it in your background.  You can always redo this step if needed.
Back to PSP and Copy the layer with all of your embellishments on it
Paste as a new animation and again make sure you have 21 frames as you did above.
Copy and paste this on top of your background and tree layers, making sure again it is placed where you would like it
resize if you would like
run animation
save.

I believe in Magic

For this tutorial I have used:

Heartfelt Perfections part of the FallEver Friends Colab kit which you can get HERE

The wonderful artwork of Zindy found HERE

Vix Mask #39: which can be found in my quick links at the top of the page.

Alien Skin Eye Candy 5 Impact Gradient Glow found in my quick links as well.

Words of Magic Word Art from Rachel which you can get HERE

First you will need to add your mask to your masks folder and make sure you have your Alien Skin installed and loaded.

To start you will need to open 2 papers from the kit I have chosen #5 & #7.  7 will be my background paper so you can minimize that for now.

On paper 5 you are going to apply your mask.  Layers > Load/Save Mask > Load mask from disk.  Make sure the only things checked are Source luminance, fit to canvas and Hide all Masks.  Copy Merged

Bring your background back up and paste the new mask layer on this as a new layer.  Adjust as desired.  I have also taken the time to freehand select around the scarecrow and delete the mask covering it.

Next you are going to add your tube and place it where you would like, and use whatever elsements you like around it.  I have used only clipart 1 and the leaves (which I have duplicated and mirrored and placed under my tube.) 

Open your word art and resize.  I believed I used about 15% (because as we all know word art is normally HUGE)  Copy and paste

Now we are going to use our plug-in.  Effects > PlugIN > Eye Candy 5 > Grad. Glow.  I am using the Green Glow setting, and on the basic tab you want the following :  Outside Glow, Mask Selection, 5.00. 100, 100, 100, 65, 100 and pick whatever color you would like by clicking on the bottom box of the slider bar.  I have used a color from one of the leaves because I thought it looked nice.

• You should still have only 2 layers.
• Open MusicNoteStrand
• Paste on top of background and under mask as before. Duplicate and move as before for the effect you would like with a drop shadow and merging down so as to keep 2 layers.
• Use freehand selection tool now and connect the bottom tips of the hearts of the frame. Try to do this very carefully and remember you can always start over if needed..
• Once you have it connected and you have your marching ants around the frame I want you to go to selections > Invert
• Now click on your background layer in your layers pallett and hit the delete key on your keyboard.
• This should insure everything you have done other then the mask frame is INSIDE your mask.

• Open your tube of choice and add to the right side also over your mask.
