Template used is by Toxic Desirez you can get here:

Font used Feel Script

Let's get started:

~ Open your template of choice or the one I used, duplicate it then close out the original.

~ On the upper left and right rectangle back I left those the white glitter, just added a
drop shadow-  vertical-0, horizontal-0, opacity-80, blur 80 color black

~ On the upper left rectangle, stand on the layer, selections select all, float then defloat,
choose PP16 (or the one of your choice), copy and paste as a new layer, selections invert, now
standing on the paper layer hit delete on your keyboard. Your left with just your paper filling
the rectangle, now merge down to the upper left rectangle. Add the same drop shadow as above.

~ Stand on the layer upper right rectangle, and choose the same paper and do the same as above.

~ Now, the steps following for all your shapes you will do the same steps as above just using different
papers of choice. I used the following papers: Upper right and lower left circle 1-PP7; Upper right and lower right glitter circles-PP20, Upper right and lower left circle 2- PP15, remember to put drop shadows on all.

~ On the Glitter circles, after I pasted my papers I went to Adjust-add/remove noise, Uniform, 50% and monochrome checked. Ok

~ Standing on the Pink circle (the bottom one), selections-select all-float-defloat, PP6, selections-invert, delete. select none.  Merge down to pink circle, add drop shadow.

~ Stand on the glitter circle, go to Adjust-Hue/saturation-Hue Map, leave all of it the same except Lightness shift, change that to a 100, this makes it white, click OK. Add drop shadow.

~ I left the black circle the same as is.

~ Top pink circle selections-select all-float-defloat, PP14. selections invert, hit delete, select none, merge down, Add drop shadow.

~ Dotted line 1, I colorized them black, or you can any color. add drop shadow.

~ Standing on your dotted line 1 that is right above Sm Stars, merge down., take your color dropper tool, run it over part of the darkest green of one of your papers, then left click, this color will now be in your color pallatte window,Take the tool -Change to Target Brush-and run it over the dotted line and small stars, it will then change them to the color you picked up with your dropper tool.

~ Frame back left and back right, I did a little different. Once again pick up your dropper tool,
now pick 2 colors from your tag, right click for the foreground, and left click for the background color.
Now go to your color pallatte-click on your foreground, click on gradient-look for the foreground/background color-angel-40, repeats-2,style-linear, hit ok
Now I merged down the frame back left to the right, and then selections select all, float, defloat..take your flood tool and fill your boxes. select none, drop shadow. ~ Frame left and right I left the glitter white color.

~ Large stars I kept black, or you can change them to any color or paper of choice.

~ Standing on the bottom layer, take the element silverdoodle2 and copy and paste as a new layer, place where you would like, add a drop shadow.Once you have it where you like, I duplicated the layer, and image mirror, place it below the first doodle. Merge those 2 layers. I then added silverdoodle3 and did the same thing.

~ Standing on your doodle layers, lower the opacity to 50.

~ Now comes your imagination, add whatever elements you like and place them where you like. Resize them to match your tag.  Always add drop shadows, the settings I used are: 0,0,80, 8.00 and black

~ If you would like to add the heartwreath like I did, I copied and pasted as a new layer right over my big pink circle, then downsized it till it fit right around the edges, added drop shadow.

~ The pink bow I added to the flowers, was bowteardrop, I placed it, then duplicated that bow,
image rotate, free rotate, right and 15, then placed it right over the orginal bow. add drop shadow.

~ The awareness ribbon, I drapped over the right rectangle, then erased just a tad bit on the top, to make it
look like it was hanging over the rectangle. Add drop shadow.

~ Once you get all the elements you like on it, I like to downsize mine before I put my licensed tube on it, or my watermark, and name. Image, resize, I usually do mine 475x475, make sure resize all layers are checked and lock aspect. hit ok.

~ Now add your licensed tube or whatever tube you like, and your watermark. Please make sure add any copyright info needed.

~~ Supplies needed ~~

Mask of your choice
Scrap kit I used by QueenBrat you can get here
Poser used out of QueenBrats kit as well
Font used Parseltongue  which you can get here

Let's get started:

~ Open a new image 600X600 transparent background, you can resize later.

~ Open your mask of your choice into psp.

~Selections select all, take a paper of your choice, and copy- paste into selection.

~ Goto- Layers - new mask layer- from image-pick the mask from the source window drop down menu.
Source Luminance checked, now depending how your mask looks you will check the invert mask data, or
uncheck it. You want the paper in the main part of your mask. Hit ok.

~On your layer pallatte, stand on the group-merge layer and merge group. Now if you want a white
background you would add a raster layer and bring it down to the bottom and flood fill with white.

~ Now is where you get creative, add any and all elements you want. Add drop shadows to each, and make
sure you resize so they are proportioned to the tag.

~If you want to add the frame 1 from her scrapkit like I did, I downsized it to fit around my mask, on each picture.
Add a drop shadow, I used effects-drop shadow:

    Vertical-1
         Horiztontal-3
        Opacity- 80
                             Blur 7.00 and color black

~Above your bottom layer, if you added white, or below your mask if you are leaving it transparent,
add glitter 1 and 2, merge those 2 layers together, then duplicate-image flip-image mirror. It just gives more
glitter to your background. Merge both glitter layers. *if you are using another kit that does not
come with glitter, you can use your air brush set to the round, and any size you wish and take
colors from the kit you choose and paint some dots on a layer and then adjust-add/remove noise, and make your own.

~Add the bow 3, downsize it, place where you want, you can leave it like that or add another bow, then
image mirror and put ontop, to make it look like it has double ribbons. Add drop shadow.

~ I like to downsize my tag now before adding the name, image resize make sure resize all layers is
checked, then for width I use 475 to 500, your choice, the height will adjust on its own. *Please note
if you are a tag maker and use dolls, then resize your tag before you place the doll on, or your doll
will be disfigured, and not be within the artist rules.*

~ Pick a font like you like and add that, size as big or small as you like as well.I used Parseltongue, this
font you have to pick a big size,mine was 80. I placed mine under the poser to make it look like
she was laying on the font.

~ Effects- 3d effects - inner bevel- bevel 2, width 8, smoothness 0, depth 1, ambience -4,
  Shininess-0, light color white, angel-315, intensity-50, elevation-30, ok

~ Effects 3d effects- drop shadow vertical-2, horizontal- 2, opacity-80, blur 2.00 black, ok

~Now just add your watermark, any artist info that is needed and merge how you normal do. You can
add annimation or merge flat if you want a white background, or save as a .png file if you choice
to have it transparent.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and please come soon.

~~ Supplies Needed ~~
Template of choice or your welcome to use mine
download here  Please do not share

Scrap kit by: Rieka_Rafita you can get here

Or any of your choice, please respect the artist wishes and do not share.
Font of choice

I used a paid tube by Keith Garvey which you can find his work here:

Plugin-Lokas Software Gel or just use effects inner bevel.

Lets get started:

~ Open template and duplicate orginal, close out orginal.
If you can want your tag smaller you can downsize template now.

~ You can flood fill your background white, or leave it transparent depending on how you
like to save your tags. I leave mine transparent since I save them as a .png file.

~ Stand on the oval raster layer: using your magic wand click the center of the oval. Keeping
selected go up to Selections-modify-expand by 1

~ Pick the paper of your choice and paste as a new image, still on your paper layer and
your ants marching on your oval layer, hit selections-invert: now hit your delete key. selections none

~ Now you have the white layer around your oval, you can leave that or add noise or another paper color.
You follow the same instructions as you did for the inside of your oval however, omit the modify by 1
I am adding noise. So I am using my magic wand clicking on the white, then going to adjust-add/remove noise uniform checked and the noise is your choice, I used 50%, monochrome checked-hit ok, then select-none.

~ Once you pick which way to have your white, you can add a drop shadow to your oval. The setting I used
was: Vertical-0
     Horizontal-0
      Opacity-80
      Blur-6.00
      Color-Black

~ You will then repeat with all the other shapes of your template the same way, using any paper or color of your choice, and drop
shadow of your choice.

~ Once you have all your shapes the way you like, you then add the elements of choice. You will
need to downsize the elements as you place them on your tag. By doing that you will go up to
image-resize-make sure it is in pixel size and using smart size. You can play with the % to your
liking, depending on the size of your tag. **Remember to add drop shadows on each element,
it will make them stand out and look better on your tag.

~ Take a tube of choice, I used a Garvey tube and placed it in the center rectangle, I took the magic wand clicked the center of the rectangle, placed the
tube how I wanted her then selections -invert and hit delete, while standing on the tube layer.
This takes the excess off that, it appears she is coming out of the  box. Drop shadow, same as above, 0,0,80,6

~ Do the same with the outer boxes. Standing on the Garvey tube layers I changed those tubes from
normal to Luminance (legacy).

~ Stand on your very bottom layer, the background, and Find the RR_SplashGlitter, copy and paste
as a new layer, downsize to 70%, lower if your tag is bigger than 600x600..Move up the right of your tag
Now take the other color of the splash glitter and do the same. Now merge those 2 layers together only.

~ Go up to Effects-Mosaic-Antique: Number of columns-57  Tile diffusion-54
                                   Number of rows- 57    Grout width-1
                                   Symmetric checked     Grout diffusion 64   click ok.

~ To add your name pick a font you like, I used ChopinScript size you prefer, type our your name
 promote to a raster layer

~ Effects Lokas-Gel settings Bevel Width-12, Depth-80, Color overlay checked, color #5a2744
  Color opacity- 100, shadow-black, highlight and shadow opacity- 40, hit ok.
  ( if you do not have lokas gel, you can go to effects-3d effects and inner bevel, your desired setting.

~ Drop shadow on your text- vertical-1, horizontal- 1, opacity- 30 and blur 3, color black. ok

~ put your watermark, and any license that you may use for any paid tubes.

~ You can add any animation to your tags, then take it to AS, add your own style.

~ Once all done, you can save your tag as you see fit. Merge flat,if you used a white background, or merge visable if you are going to save it as a .png file, this will keep it a transparent background.
