Let's begin =)

Open up my template press shift & the letter ”D” to duplicate the template now close the original.
Delete the layer that has my info on it
Open one of your scrap papers (resize if necessary) and copy & paste it as a new layer
Move this layer to right above the white layer
Go up to layers, load/save mask, load mask from disk, scroll thru the masks until you find
WSL_Mask82, with the following settings


Go up to layers, then merge, merge group
Back up to layers again, , load/save mask, load mask from disk, scroll thru the masks until you find
WSL_Mask256, with the same settings as before.
Go up to layers, then merge, merge group, now duplicate the mask layer & then merge both mask layers together
Using your selection tool draw around the top of the mask that
is sticking out at the top, then press delete on your keyboard
Repeat the same step from above to remove the bottom that is sticking out
Now hide all the layers except for the slats & the white background layer
Click on the slats layer and with the magic wand click inside the dark grey part of the slats.
Choose a dark red color & then flood fill each selected area then go to selections
Select none.
Using the magic wand again click inside the light grey area of the slats
Now go up to selections, modify, and expand by 2
Open up one of the papers you have chosen to use & resize it if necessary
Now copy and paste the paper as a new layer
While on the paper layer go up to Selections & click invert then click on the delete key on your keyboard.
Go back to selections again & select none
Unhide the frame border & the layer that says ”your paper here”
Click on the frame layer in your palette & now using the magic wand again click on the black border of the frame
Using your flood fill tool again flood fill this frame with the same dark red color you used before.
Then go up to selections & select none
Now click on the layer that says “your paper here” and then using the magic wand
click inside of the frame go up to selections then modify then expand by 2.
Open up another one of your papers, resize if necessary & then copy & paste it as a new layer.
Don’t deselect yet.
Open up the tube you have chosen & then copy & past it as a new layer
Making sure that it’s below your frame layer but above your paper layer
Go up to selections, invert, press delete on your keyboard then click on the paper layer
& hit the delete key 1 more time to get rid of the excess paper showing & now you can select none.
Next unhide the gems layers but now hide the white background layer, next go up to layers & then merge visible
You can now unhide your white background layer.
Click on your preset shape tool & select the heart change the width to 6 and your foreground
color should be white & your background color should be dark red.
Now draw out a small heart on one side of the frame (see my tag as an example)
Convert the heart to a raster layer
Go up to effects, then scroll down to plug ins, eye candy 4000, glass and apply the following settings:




Then click ok
Next duplicate this heart & then go to Image & then mirror
Merge both heart layers together & now duplicate it..
Move your duplicate layer to the 2nd row of slats
Duplicate that heart layer & move it to the 3rd row of slats
Duplicate the heart layer 1 more time & move it to the 4th row of slats
Now at this point add your saying to the top of your tag
I chose “So Tempting” but you can use whatever you wish
I used the font called “Alex Brush” with stroke & fill both a deep red
Add your name using the same font and colors. I added a white gradient glow and then a
red drop shadow to my name but that’s entirely up to you. Also this is where you need to
put your copyright info as well as any license# and such.
With me so far?? Good, now let’s animate
Open animation shop
In paint shop hide all of the heart layers except the top row & then right click & select copy merged
Jump over to animation shop & right click & paste as new animation
Go back to paint shop, hide the top row of hearts & unhide the 2nd row of hearts,
Right click again & copy merged
Back to animation shop click on the image you pasted before & chose paste after current frame
Back to paint shop hide the 2nd row of hearts & unhide the 3rd row or hearts
As before right click & copy merged
Back to animation shop again click on the 2nd frame you pasted & chose paste after current frame
Back to paint shop hide the 3rd row of hearts & unhide the 4th row or hearts
Right click again & copy merged
Back to animation shop again right click on the last frame you pasted & chose paste after current frame
In paint shop hide the last heart layer so no hearts are showing & right click & copy merged
Back in animation shop again right click on the last frame you pasted & chose paste after current frame
You should now have 5 frames
Over in paint shop again unhide all the heart layers & right click copy merged
Back to animation shop again right click on the last frame you pasted & chose paste after current frame
You should now have 6 frames.
While holding the ctrl key click on the last 2 frames of your animation
(1 frame with no hearts showing & 1 frame with all hearts showing)
Right click & then chose copy then left click on the last frame & then right click on it & chose paste after current frame.
Now click on 1 of the frames that have no hearts showing, right click on it & chose copy then
click on the very last frame of your tag & right click & chose paste after current frame.
You should now have a total of 9 frames.
Now we need to adjust the speed of the animation so, click on your very 1st frame & whole holding
the ctrl key down press “A”, this will select all of your frames
Go up to the menu bar at the top & select animation then frame properties & change the number there to 50
While holding the ctrl key click on each frame that has no hearts then go up to the menu bar &
click on animation, then click on frame properties & change it to 45
Now play your animation, resize (if you like) and save.

That's it you're all done!
