CT - Santa's Lil Helper

04:44 | Edit Post


CT for Derzi at Beehive Studio using the cute Santa's Lil Helper package available at their store HERE.
In the pack you get Candles dresses as Santa's Lil Helper as seen in the top tag and you also get Jubi dressed as Santa as a bonus tube. So thats 2 tubes for just $1.85.

I used the matching kit Christmas Fairyland by Amy Marie for the tags - find the kit HERE.

Winter Frost CT Tutorial

12:50 | Edit Post
Tutorial written by Kissing Kate on 28th November 2013

This tutorial is my own original work and any similarities with any other tutorial are coincidental and unintentional.

Anyone with a good basic working knowledge of PS CS5 should be able to follow this tutorial. Please feel free to get creative when following this tutorial, it is for guidance only! 

Please do not claim this tutorial as your own. Anyone is welcome to use it and I would love to see your results. If you would like to share it in a group please link back to my blog.



Supplies Used:

Tube: Jennifer -Exclusive by Ellie Milk  at PFD

Kit: Winter Frost by Redefined Designs at Berry

Mask by Dee

Font: Ice Sticks

Let’s get started!!!!!


Open up a new image 700x700 (background layer) and fill white so you can see what you are doing.


New layer - apply a mask and merge with paper 7

New window – open tube - select the layers you want to use - merge them together - copy/paste onto main image

Resize so the tube fits central in your tag 

Now go back and add a layer above the mask layer and below the tube layer.

We are going to place some elements so they appear behind the tube.  I used Branch 1 to make a cluster effect behind the tube.. add the branch, add a drop shadow and then keep duplicating it and rotating it all around/behind the tube.

You now need to do the same effect with Cluster 2.. layering it behind the tube (resize so this cluster is shorter than the branches)

Do the same with cluster 3 (you can see we don't need to put as many elements around/behind now - we are just filling in the spaces).

Now add the wheel element twice, making it bigger at the bottom so you can see it just below where the legs of the tube cut off

Add the cluster element now and place it  above the wheels and behind the tube in a few places - don't forget your drop shadow

Now add a new layer above your tube layer.

Add the snow element at the bottom of the tag to cover her legs.. Delete any of the tube that is showing below the snow.

Now select the eraser and turn the opacity down to around 20%.. Carefully erase the sides of the snow element so the edges don't look so obvious.

Now go back again to the layer below the tube and scatter the charm element around to add a pop of blue to complement your mask 

Go back to the top and add a new layer.  Add a name with your preferred font.

Add the copyright - delete the white background layer and thats it, you are done.

Thank you :)
