This tutorial is written for those with a basic knowledge of PSP. This tutorial is also written to be funny yet informative!

I am using the smexy artwork of Verymany. You can not use this artwork without first purchasing it to do so, you can do that HERE

I am using the amazing PTU kit by Amy Marie called Emolution Addiction. You can visit her blog HERE to see where you can purchase this rocking kit!

Template: 417 by Minxy get it HERE

Font: Giddyup Std

Plugins: Eyecandy 4000 Glass, Gradient Glow

Ok smexy biatches and ho's lets start!

Open the template! :O

Canvas size, 800x800 in middle. Crop to your liking. Image, resize pixels 600x600
Select all, float, defloat circle, paste as new layer paper 22, image resize 80%. Selections invert, edit and clear

Adjust, hue saturation, colorize on cricle back settings: hue 0 saturation 0

Adjust, color balance, manual color correction: source #808080 and target #9d7cd1

Star 1 and 2 apply hue saturation settings again and manual color correction settings again.
On both stars apply following eyecandy 4000 settings for glass and gradient glow:

Add following drop shadow settings for both stars:

Select all, float, defloat on rectangle layer, paste paper 6 as new layer, resize 80%. Selections invert, edit and clear. Make sure you close off the original rectangle layer or else it will look crappy showing a bit of the orginal on the sides of the paper.

Select all, float, defloat on center rectangle layer, paste paper 23 as new layer, resize 80%, Selections invert, edit and clear and close off original layer.

OOOoooo lookie there, we forgot to add drop shadow to the rectangle layer we just did...again....I always do this shiznit! So, go back and add the dropshadow settings from before to the layer.

Apply hue and saturation settings as before on the thin rectangle layer. Apply color balance, manual color correction settings as before on same layer except change target to: #fb4472
Drop shadow that biatch! Because this iz wat we do ;)

Select all, float, defloat blah blah bs on the larger middle rectangle, paste as new layer paper 4, image resize 80%, selections invert then edit, clear. Close out original layer.

On below layer, rectangle background, adjust color balance, manual color correction change the source to #ffffff and target to: #411d6e

Add the infamous drop shadow settings.

On the other rectangle back layer, repeat manual color correction setps above just change target to: #ff6791 and drop shadow that smexy thing!

On small rectangle layer, select all, float, defloat, paste paper 19 as new layer, resize 80%, selections invert, edit clear and add that drop shadow.

WAIT.........you forgot something didnt you? I was testing you to see if you remembered.....hmmmmmm dont know what it was? Close out the original layer ;) Dont forget next time now!

On the frame layer, adjust, color balalnce, manual color correction change target to #808080.

Select all, float, defloat, make a new raster layer with the properties of overlay from the drop down. Set your foreground color to: #ff6791 and your background color to: #b596e6. Click up on the foreground color block, change it to gradient with settings: Foreground-background Angle: 134, Repeats 4 and make sure style is the first block with the link going across.

Flood fill your new raster over the frame with the gradient. Select none.

STOP dooooooont you dare close out the original layer this time we need it to keep the bevel in the template ;)

On frame back layer, select all, float, defloat omg this gets repeatitive again hah! Paste paper 1 as new layer, resize 80%, selections, invert and edit clear. Close off the original layer.

Repeat above on layer raster 18.

Go back and add a drop shadow to the original frame layer.

Alright looking smexy so far already! Now that all our papers are on there time to add elements and tubes woot woot

Slap that sexy ass tube that your using on there, where ever you wish. I placed mine right at the bottom of the black rectangle. Add a drop shadow :D

Now you can use more than 1 tube from the same artist if you purchased them from the same licenses company, but if you dont, dont worry and just use the same tube over on the frames. I am going to be using different Verymany tubes because I have sooo many! (yes I am a huge verymany addict! hehehe

Paste tube 1 as new layer, resize as needed, select all, float defloat on the frame background layer. Move tube how you want in the top frame. selections, invert, edit clear. My tube was big enough to cover all three frames so ima just leave it as that for this time because it looks good.

Do the same for the bottom frame with a diff tube or same one. Make sure you smexy biatches drag those tube layers down below the frame layer and above the frame background layer.

Merge those two tube layers my merging down. Change property settings to Opacity: 70

Select all, float defloat on the small stars layer, new raster layer flood fill with the gradient as before. Close off original. Add eyecandy glass, gradient glow and drop shadow settings as before.

Now here comes the fun part and PSP is all about creativity right? I dont want to "restrict" anyones creativity so from here on out, add whichever elements YOU smexy ho's want! Have fun with it, go all out or keep it simple! Its your creation right?!?! So, get to it just make sure you add dropshadows to all the elements since your wanting to learn how to make freaking awesome tags like me ;)

Ok all done?? Awesome, now add your credits anywhere on the tag. Make sure the credit is VISABLE! I use times new roman, size 8 in the gradient colors from before, and apply the eyecandy glass, gradient and drop shadow settings.

Make sure you save this freakin smexy tag as a .png or .psd file so you can add all your fans and friends or even foes if you have any!!! names on it :D yes I said it, give your foes tags, even if they dont want them, KILL them with kindess! ;)

Now we are going to add our text! I used font size 72 and font GiddyupStd. I changed the foreground color to #434343 and left the background as the purple one, with the same gradient settings.

Apply the same eyecandy 4000 glass, gradient glow and drop shadow settings!

VIOLA! We are done! Isnt that one awesome smexy tag you got now?!?! Now go show it off and let them know you made it after this tutorial and send em to my blog I can use some more smexy biatches and hos!

Starific Art PTU Tutorial

2011-09-09T10:05:00.000-07:00

FAIR WARNING - This tutorial was written to give some humour, fun and awesomeness to the tutorial world. I am being a lil off the wall and hyper with this so IF you are offended easily, I probably would skip this tut O.O

This tutorial is for those that have a working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.

What you need:

The beautiful artwork of Pinuptoons is what I am using in this tag, you must have a license in order to purchase and use this image you may grab it and some more of their other images HERE

This beautiful and versitile scrapkit by Mystical Illusionz Scraps called Anonyamous, It is a PTU kit and you can get it here

Effects: Drop Shadow

Filters: Eye Candy 4000 - Gradient Glow

Font: Pot Roaster (What a odd yet funny name!)

Dont forget the Mojo Fairy! And when your done, turn her over to me...or else!!!!!!

Ok, now that we have that normal, repetitive shiznet done we can start! Yesssssssssss, excited? I am! So you better get excited to or I’ll have to come spank ya for being naughty!

Open up New Canvas 600x600...bet ya already new that smexy biatch didnt ya?!?!

Copy and paste ele46, resize by 75% Woot looking good already :D (I love this frame!)

Use magic wand for selection tool, click in both of the frames, selections mody expand by 3. STOP I didnt say 4...nooooooo not 2...3...THREE whats distracting ya this time?!?! OOO icecream huh...good idea, brb in 10!

.....

...

YUM that was tasty! How about you? :P Lets continue now shall we before you get distracted again!

Paste pp4 as new layer, resize by 75%, invert, edit, clear and drag down below frame layer

Paste ele52 as new layer and place down at bottom of two frames, drag layer below the frame and paper layer.

Paste ele50 and repeat like above (resize to 65% though), make sure ele50 is above the green splatter too.

Merge the two layers, duplicate and go to image, flip. How awesome is that! Like totally Im telling ya this is gonna be another one of your new rocking awesome tags that you can say I learned how to do it from Alika, Tutorial Extraordinaire!

Paste your tube, place how you wish on the tag, duplicate and change layer properties to soft light. Dont get all crazy here either and start duplicating and adding more properties and effects and filters and ending up with one Alien looking tube!

Last but surely not least your mojo fairy....dont have one you say? Easy fix! Just go steal someone elses like I do and hold it hostage, maybe give it a lil rum before you return it to their owners. Hey they dont call me Mojo Fairy Thief for nothing!

Got everything meh sexy biatches? Good lets get started!

Open up PSP (duh! I know just bare with me here), new canvas 600x600

Copy and Paste circle frame, resize it by 80% twice. Add following dropshadow settings:

Use freehand laso tool to go around the frame i just go like in the middle of the frame as shown below:

Grab paper PP2 copy and paste as a new layer, image resize that sucker by 75%, selections, invert, edit, clear omg here we go again with the redundant shit huh?!?!
Drag that layer underneath the frame layer, looks totally rocking huh? Yeah thats right even YOU can make rocking tags that arent even finished yet but they just oozeout awesomeness!

Grab you tube of choice, im using a closeup of the tube for this one, copy and paste it and position it as you wish in the frame.
Duplicate that sexy mug and drag the original layer underneath the frame becase im about to show you the most awesome thing you will ever learn!!!

Ok ok dont get to excited yet, its simple, but way cool if you wanna do this shit like me ;)

Wait ok hold on, IF you want a drop shadow, go ahead and apply the settings before on the original copy of the tube (the one under the frame biatch!)
Now pay CLOSE attention.........yo sexy ho I said pay CLOSE attention quit looking at that sexy shirtless guy running down the road.....

We good now?!?! GREAT lets continue
Take your rectangle selection tool from the left tool bar make sure the COPY of the tube layer is selected this is the layer above the frame. Yes above, not below above
that smexy guy isnt going to be running back the other way anytime soon.
Draw a rectangle with the tool from the bottom of the tube to a bit above the frames bottom of the tube. Confused yet? Figured ok, do it like this!

Now edit clear OMG theres shit hanging out the bottom of the frame!!! right? ok well we are going to do the same thing but this time on the original layer and make sure
you do not go OVER the frame you wanna keep you selection tool below and in the middle of the frame.

Ok thats it my biatches! we are so done! No? It looks to plain? Really? ok ok yeah it does lets continue shall we.

I wanna go ahead and add my mask so open up your mask, minimize it, open up PP10 in kit, copy and paste as new layer, resize it by 75%

Go to layers, new mask layer, from image and choose your mask image from the drop down menu, source luminance checked and make sure invert mask data is unchecked. Yes unchecked..stop...why did ya check it fool? Go ahead, click it again to uncheck it now we are back on track click ok. pretty huh?

Right click on the mask group layer choose merge group, and then drag it all the way to the bottom layer you want it behind the tube frame and paper!

Lets snaz it up a bit to make it totally awesome and add a filter, lets do xero fritillary with the below settings:

Ok I dont want to bore you with so many filters this time so we are just going to continue on.

Add whichever elements you like to the tag or you can follow mine

Ill tell ya which ones I used so you can be awesome like me remember!

Bad Girl Paddle
Bad Teddy
Bomb
Boot
Bottle
Brassknuckles
Cane
Choker
Cuffs2
Lips 2
Loopywire
Plasticstar
Thornyheart
Whip1

Woot now we are done! Go ahead and crop around your image if you like make sure not to crop to close to the mask layer! No need to resize this tag today so go ahead and plop that copyright on there so you dont get into trouble. I use black, times new roman and use a gradient glow setting. You can use any color you want just make sure the copyright is readable!

Now save as a .png without the white layer if you have it and as a .psd incase you need to make changes.

For the name I am using colors #962264 and #514565 as a gradient with the repeat set as 10.

Font is sized 72 and FB Lipgloss. Apply the following DSB Flux Bright Noise settings:

Then apply the following glass settings:

Then the following gradient settings:

Add a drop shadow and post that biatch everywhere you can to show how you can make a awesome totally bitching tag like this!

Thats it for today and I hope you enjoyed this bitching tut and it made your day brighter! And remember if you like my tuts leave me a comment or a shout in my chat box and Ill continue to make these fucking awesome tuts for you!

So Fresh So Clean Tutorial FTU

2011-09-04T21:48:00.000-07:00

What you need:

Tube by Keith Garvey get it HERE. You must have a license in order to use his images!

Scrapkit by Scrapofangel its a freebie called Delirious Bath Time get it HERE
Template 416 by Missy Minx get it HERE
Plugins: Xero Fritillary, DSB Flux Bright Noise, Eye Candy 4000 Glass and Gradient Glow, Eye Candy 5 Nature Icesicles
Font: Disney Comic, Times New Roman and Virgil GS
Step 1. I'm not gonna write this tut for you because you can't do dis shit like I can.

.....

...

Cricket..Cricket..

Ok im just kidding haha but, I had to do it ;) And if you cant do rocking tags like me well, this tutorial will get ya there!

Ok open up Template 416 by Missy

Delete copyright layer, copy and paste your tube right smack in the middle resize it by 80% to fit and then click on the eye in layers to hide that layer for now.

Click on frame back layer, go to your kit copy paper 12, go back to template selections, select all, float, defloat paste that fucker right on there. Resize paper by 25%, selections invert, edit and clear. then select none. hide the frame back layer by clicking on the eye making it red, no dont punch it, left click it.

Click on the frame layer, whoa wait did you just really lick that screen? I know it looks all sexified now and what not but, just dont...go...there....! Now, go to effects, plugins, dsb flux and bright noise using the following settings. Then go to effects, 3d effects and drop shadow with the following settings. Come on stop complaning hos we are just getting started!

Next choose your circle center layer, and do the fucking redundent select all, float, defloat blahh blah blah. copy and paste paper 5 as new layer, resize by 15%, selections invert and edit clear select none. click the circle center layer's eye so it disappears. Then add the same drop shadow settings as before.

Click on the dotted rectangle selection tool over on the left toolbar, use the down arrow and choose magic wand, click on circle left layer and then on the actual circle and now pay close attention so you dont get this wrong its easy but, we will see. click over on the circle right layer and then left click on the right circle. Both should have marching ants around them now right? No? well, fuck I cant explain it any better than that. Go do that blah blah bull of select all, float, defloat.

Choose paper 14 from scrap kit, paste as a new layer and resize 25%, move the new raster layer up above the circle left layer. Selections, invert, edit clear omg doesnt that annoy the hell out of you or is it just me? well anyways lets continue on. Hide your circle left and right layers by clicking on the eye and making them have red X over it from now on ill just say hide layer because thats the "technical" term right?!?!

Oh yeah make sure you choose select none too ok. On your new paper raster layer we just made go to effects, plugins, xero, fritillary and use the below settings.

(5,29,93,197)

Now dont click off the layer, omg hello I said DONT click off the layer, ok we back on track? AWESOME I want you to be able to rock this tag like I did ;). ok ok NOW go to effects, texture effects, blinds and use the below settings:

Dude that looks AWESOME now doesnt it? better! ;) ok hold on my biatches while I go get me some more coke woot. Maybe with a shot of rum in it too! O.O

Ok now we going to put papers on the rest of the template pretty fast because honestly im quite tired of having to put papers on this template arent you? So I want you to do the redudant select all, float, defloat, paste, resize, invert and clear without me telling you to right? I know you can do it cuz youz my sexy ho!

Rounded edge pink layer I used paper 7 resized it to 25% and made sure i hid the original layer in template.

Rounded edge black layer I used paper 16 and did it all over again! Fuck I forgot to add drop shadows ok ok on the last two layers we just did, go back and add those sexylicious drop shadows!

Ok we back on track again? great, apparently I must have a simple mind I forget things easily, yes this is actually true LMAO

Square 2 layer i used paper 8 resized 15% used cross road looking move tool to get it how i liked and used the sexylicious drop shadows again. See i didnt forget this time!

I used the same paper and stuff for square 1, creative aint i? ;)

Copy paste paper 15 at 15% on the square 3 layer. dun forget dropshadows! You gotta make this tag POP ya know! ok by now I have way to many layers in my lil box over there on the right so what i do is anyone thats been HIDDEN right click on them and DELETE. Be careful or ill have to spank ya if you delete a paper, unhidden layer!

Look I forgot something AGAIN geez wtf are you going to do with me huh? Remember to be able to make rocking tags like me, you have to make mistakes cuz I sure as hell aint prefect! Click on the two white circle back layers and drop shadow those biatches.

Ok if you deleted your tube that was hidden like I accidently did, readd it and resize it to 80%
Choose a 1 colors off your tube (i used her clothes) using the color dropper tool in the left toolbar, double click on the color. on the two thin rectangles and the two stars select all, float, defloat, NEW RASTER LAYER, use the flood fill bucket tool over on left toolbar and fill your new layer with the color do this for all 4 layers and HIDE the original layers.

Ok on the two thin rectangles we just changed colors to I want you to go to plugins, eye candy 5 nature Icesicles and use the factory settings default just like it is but click on basic and change the max length to 43.69 see below. Do this for both thin rectangles!

On the two star layers use the plugins, dsb flux birght noise with settings below. Then Eyecandy glass with the below settings:

Then eyecandy gradient glow with the below settings

Now drop shadow them crazies!

Have we used enough filters/plugins yet my sexylicious biatches? I think so!
ok I need you to go to Image, canvas size and choose 800x800 yes I know HUGE right! no worries we just need room to add elements and text! We will crop and resize at the end as needed. You need a big space if you wanna be a rocking sexylicious tagger!

Ok i like to start my elements by adding glitter or some sort of splash type element behind all the template and stuff so im using freebie (6) and pasting it in various places behind all the layers. Make sure to dropshadow!

Unhide your tube layer and make the bottom of it lay directly in line with the bottom rectangle line. Drop shadow it! hehe im a drop shadow whore and soon you will be too!

Copy and paste freebie (18) and place it at the bottom of your tube, kinda like its in the middle of the water. sexy mmmmmmmmm and wet woot ;)

Take a couple of the flower elements from the kit resize them by 10% and place them somewhere you like on the template. You can follow me like I did by placed them above and below the two circles. To get a element to show behind a layer just drag the element layer down until its below the layer you want! How much do you love me now? Alot I hope ;)

Copy and paste element freebie (21) the bath tub and put it over the splashing water at bottmo of the tube but where you can still see some splashing water and drop shadow again. Ok time for our wording!

Use font disney comic size 24 colors #484e7e and #85838e with the gradient settings for the background as below.

Ok remember all that rocking stuff we did to the stars? Use those glass settings, gradient glow settings and drop shadow settings all over again for the text and use the mover tool to place it above the icicles on the thin rectangles.

Go ahead and use the crop tool to crop around the tag so its smaller and not so much space now I recommend saving this in your photos as a .psd (incase u need to make changes) and a .png (so its transparent in the back) because now that you've done this awesome sexy rocking tutorial with this amazing result all your friends will want one! So be prepared to start a always list too ;)

Image, resize and resize it to 600 at the width the height will auto populate and resize all layers.
Go ahead and add your copyright text im using black, times new roman and size 8 for it. Dont want to forget to add this so I usually add it before I do any name adding! I also usually use gradient glow for this ;)

Oh yeah make sure ya use a snazzy looking made by slogan, make it as naughty as you want because naughtier is better right!?!?!?!

Ok now for the name woot we are ALMOST done, glad huh? Me to! beliiiiiieve me! lol. I used #063e45 for the font color and Virgil GS for the font, size 72. Used the same xero fritillary settings as before, glass, gradient glow and drop shadow. Move that sucker somewhere that you think looks good i did mine near the bottom, left. Save as a .png and spread the love around!

Thanks so much if you actually read all the way through here! This tut was written to be informative YET funny so I hope you enjoyed it and if you did and would love to see more tuts like this instead of the normal copy/paste this copy/paste that and your done tutorial then please leave a comment below or in my chat box!
