A Hot Chocolate Christmas PTU

A Hot Chocolate Christmas
I used the wonderful artwork called Marshy & Tree by Cuddly Rigor Mortis which you must be licensed to use. You can purchase these tubes from CDO  which can now be found here  
I am using a beautiful scrapkit called Holly Jolly Christmas which is PTU by Gimtastic Scraps and can be found at The PSP Project here  
Font of Choice  
Mask of Choice I used WeeScotslass WSL17 which can be found here
The tut was written in Paint Shop Pro X4 but should work in others.

Note When I resize I use these settings: (make sure that pixel dimensions is on percent and in advanced setting it is smart size lock aspect ratio is checked and resize all layers is unchecked) also please save often and for placement on the tag you can always refer to the example tag if that helps.

Let's get started!!


Open a new image 800 X 800 pixels with a transparent background.  You can resize later to meet your needs.
Copy & paste paper3 from the scrapkit onto your new image resize by 150% and apply your mask of choice. (Click layers, load save mask, make sure fit to canvas, source luminance and hide all mask is checked then click load)
In layers right click on mask hit delete and answer yes to the popup. Now right click on group layer
merge merge group. 
Open reindeer copy & paste to your image and place on the left bottom of your mask  
Open HoHoHo copy & paste to your image and place at the top of your mask on the right
Open Elf Hat and copy & paste to your image and place it on the top of your tag next to santa
Open gifttag copy & paste to your image and place it on the bottom right of your book
Open poinsettia copy & paste to your image and place it on the right just below the gifttag
Open fence copy & paste to your image 
Open tree copy & paste to your image and place on the right side of the fence
Open your tube1 of choice and copy & paste to your image resize as needed (I resized by 75%) and place it on the right side bottom of your tree
Open gifts copy & paste to your image resize by 50% and place next to tube #1
Open lantern copy & paste to your image resize by 50% and place on the bottom right of tube 1
Open milk & cookies copy & paste to your image resize by 50%  and place on the bottom on the right side gift
Open your tube2 of choice and copy & paste to your image resize as needed (I resized by 50%) and place on the left end of the fence
Add a dropshadow of choice to your tube santa or anything you would like to!

Add your copyrights and name of choice and you are finished!!


I hope you liked this tut and please let me know it anything is not correct. Thank you.
