THOUSANDS OF FREE BLOGGER TEMPLATES

Notice

My Daughter was born on Feb 14, 2010 and she is wonderfully healthy! Thank you for all the wonderful emails about everything. I just wanted to say that for right now since life has gotten so busy I am working mainly on tags and layouts. There will be the occasional tutorial but not as many as before. I am sorry if this causes any problems, but family comes first! I hope this finds all my followers doing well! Blessed Be! ~Lori

Christmas Bauble (Animated)


For this tutorial I have used the following supplies:

A Furry Little Christmas from Designs By Stina available HERE
Animation Shop (found in my quick links at the top of the page)
Sparkle tutorial by Patti which can be found HERE (please do this before the rest of the tutorial)

Once you have done your sparkle tutorial (or you have ones of your own) we are ready to begin.
Remember to save your work often just in case ;)

  • Open a blank canvas 650x650, flood full with the background color of your choice (remember this will be the background color inside of your Christmas bauble)
  • Open bauble 05, copy and paste onto your background layer, as a new layer.  Leave it where it falls.
  • Set transparency to 50%
  • Paste the bauble again as another new layer (this will give you 2)
  • Using your freehand selection tool, feather set to zero, cut out the 'glass' part of the bauble and delete it leaving only the silver hanger part.
  • You should now have a solid silver topper and a transparent bauble.
  • Merge all
  • Using your background eraser, delete every part of your background that is outside the bauble.
  • New raster layer flood filled white
  • Send to bottom
  • Place whatever elements you would like inside your ball on top of the bauble (Shows up better this way)
  • Add wording and copyrights as required
  • Resize as desired
  • Place a few sparkles as you would like them on your image
  • Copy merged
  • Paste as a new animation in Animation Shop
  • ***Back in PSP remove the sparkles
  • Place new sparkles again in different locations
  • Copy Merged
  • Paste after current frame in Animation Shop***
  • Do the steps between the starts at least 2 more times for a total of 4 frames
  • Run Animation
  • Save

Give Thanks


For this cute little tutorial I have used the following

Give Thanks from Designs By Stina which can be found HERE
Vix mask Valentine 14 which can be found above
Give Thanks mask made by myself which I have included below.


  • To begin make sure your masks are preloaded into your own masks folder and open up your color palette
  • Open two new canvases 800x800 and flood fill each with a color from the color pallet, I have used the dark green and the brown.
  • Load your mask on to each one and invert if necessary
  • On each canvas you need to go to Layers>Merge>Merge Group
  • Copy your love frame and paste that in the center of your Give Thanks canvas.
  • Using your selection tool set to circle, replace, and a feather of 4 with anti alias checked I want you to place your cursor at 400x400 which is the center of your workspace, and drag it out till you have almost the whole inner circle of the love frame in it.
  • Click on your give thanks layer and hit delete.
  • With your Flood Fill tool, pick another color and put that inside the circle
  • Select None
  • Resize and place whatever embellishments all around the frame as you wish
  • Add all wording and copyright information
  • Resize and save!

Autumn Blessings 2010




  •  For this tutorial I used the DBS (Designs by Stina) part of the FallEver Friends Collab which can be purchased HERE
  •  
  • Start with a 475x475 canvas flood filled with the landscape gradiant and the wet fall leaves texture at 50% scale.  Flatten
  • Open Fence 2 resize 50% copy and paste onto the background layer down at the bottom.  Drop Shadow 3, 3, 100, 8 black
  • Open frame 10. Resize 50%.  Using your freehand selection tool and point to point you are going to cut off the arch of this frame.  Copy the arch and place on the background image, under the fence and resize and reposition as desired.  Add the same drop shadow as before on this.
  • Open leaves.  Resize 60% and place on the left top of the fence (under the fence) Duplicate and place on the top right as well) Merge these 2 layers and drop shadow as above.
  • Open the rest of your elements and resize and add.  (I have used Lab 02, Sign 02, Teddy Friends 02, Butterfly 03,Clock 02 and Deco 02 all at 30% and the medi_lilflutter4 at 50%I also took Autumn leaves resized at 15% to cover the ‘grass’ in my tag.
  • Add all wording and copyrights and you are all done! (do NOT forget if you use the poser IN the kit you MUST credit the poser!!!)
