About me

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am Vivienne, living in the UK and married with a son who now lives in Perth, Australia and a daughter who has given me two gorgeous grandsons! Paint Shop has been my hobby for more years than I can remember and I love making tags. I have always loved doing tutorials written by others and a couple of years ago started writing them myself. As well as tag tutorials, I also have a Tips and Tricks page where you will find tutorials on basic Paint Shop techniques. I hope you enjoy my blog and have fun with my tutorials. Please be sure also to check out the Tag Gallery and see some of the awesome results to the tutorials!

In this tutorial I
used a beautiful tube from 



 called “Fairy wings”.


You can purchase
the tube at






The kit is “Red
Winter” from


Bella Caribeña


and can be
purchased at






You will need mask
6 from 48 mask frames set from Kopona






 and mask 41 from the Christmas frame mask set
also from Kopona





Font of choice.














I used a drop shadow of vertical 0, horizontal 5, opacity
65, blur 15.








Open a new transparent canvas 750 by 700 pixels and fill
with white.





Paste mask 41, resize 20%, select all, float and defloat
it, make a new layer, paste paper 2 into the selection, deselect and delete the
original black mask layer, move the paper layer down and to the left, duplicate
it, rotate the copy 90 degrees to the right, resize another 90% and move up and
to the right. 





Paste mask 6, resize 20% and position below the first two
masks, select all, float and defloat, make a new layer, fill with colour #5c4a36,
deselect and delete the original black mask layer. 





Paste element  28
on the top, resize 85%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.  You may have to erase the bottom of the
trunk.





Paste element  6 (numbered 113 in some kits),
resize 60%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  4,
resize 45%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  81,
resize 65%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  46,
resize 23%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  96,
resize 55% and move into place.  With
your freehand selection tool set to point to point, draw a selection through
the middle of the element and across the bottom of it something like my
screenshot below, make a new layer below the element and paste paper 1 into the
selection, deselect and apply the drop shadow to the element.   I then used a low opacity brush around the
bottom of corner of this element to blend it in. 













Paste element 92, resize 65%, place in position and apply
the drop shadow.





Paste the tube, resize 18% and apply the drop shadow then
move into place doing some careful erasing to position the reindeer in element
96.





Paste element  27,
resize 65%, position below the tube and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element 54, resize 20%, place in position and apply
the drop shadow.

80% and move into place.





Paste element  86,
resize 30%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  82,
resize 70%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.





Paste element  14
on the top, resize 30%, place in position and apply the drop shadow.

shadow.
