Supplies Needed
Tube of choice
I am using a PTU tube by Elias Chatzoudis
www.elias-design.gr
You need a license to use it which you can get here
Scrap kit of choice, I am using PTU kit Go GaGa by Pimpd Designz
http://pimp-your-tags.blogspot.com/
You can purchase that here and here
Font of choice, I am using is Detailles

Let's get started

Open a new image 700*500 we will resize later.

Open up your tube and kit, minimize your tube for later.

Open up pd-frame-01, copy and paste, resize @ 70% smartsize once, then once @ 85% smartsize
rotate 90 degrees to the right, resize once more @ 85% smartsize, sharpen once.

Click inside your frame with your magic wand, expand by 5

Open up pd-pp-05, copy and paste as new layer, I colored mine to match the tube I am using.
You can do this as well or skip it. Resize @ 70% smartsize twice, sharpen twice.
Invert, then delete the excess paper, invert then select none.

Open up your tube of choice, copy and paste as new layer, depending which tube you are using
resize this nicely. Sharpen at least once or twice, which ever looks nice.

Duplicate your frame layer and bring this above your tube layer, erase any of it that covers
the tube so the tube sits nicely in the frame.

Add a drop shadow to your tube layer
V&H-1
Opacity-100
Color-BLK
Blur-2.00
I did it twice to my tube, you can as well or which ever looks best
Add this same drop shadow to your original frame layer NOT the duplicate one.

Time to decorate the taggie :)

Open up pd-fence, copy and paste as new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize then once @ 85% smartsize
sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before. I placed this behind all layers.
Duplicate once and flip it so it peaks out on the bottom as well, use my tag as guide.

Open up pd-burst-01, copy and paste as new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize
sharpen once, add same drop shadow, I place this behind all layers.

Open up pd-burst-02, copy and paste as new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize
sharpen twice, add same drop shadow as before, place this behind all layers.

Open up pd-frame-02, copy and paste as new layer, rotate this @ 90 degrees to
the right, resize once @ 70% smartsize, sharpen twice, add same drop shadow.
I placed mine between the yellow and black bursts. Use my sample as a guide.

Open up pd-burst-02, copy and paste as new layer, resize five times @ 70% smartsize
Sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before, I placed this on bottom of the tag
on the frame.

Open up pd-burst-01 and do the same as we just did for the black one but make it
smaller so it fits nicely on the black one. Use my sample as a guide.

Open up pd-brad-01, copy and paste as a new layer, resize three times @ 70% smartsize
sharpen twice, duplicate and rotate 90 degrees to the right, merge together and
place on the bottom corner of the frame and on top of the bursts, use my sample as a guide.

Open up pd-glitter-01, copy and paste as new layer, resize twice @ 70% smartsize
sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before, duplicate once and flip it,
I placed these behind the yellow burst (big one), use sample as a guide.

Open up pd-ribbon-03, copy and paste as new layer, resize three times @ 70% smartsize
sharpen twice and add same drop shadow as before, rotate 10 degrees to the right and
sharpen again, then place on the top left of the tag.

Choose your font and add your name and any copyright info that belongs and save as a
png or jpeg and your done :)

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial!!
