Add the Merry Christmas wordart I provided you in my supplies and place it on top of the layer named "1" in your Layer's Palette.
Position it how I have mine (or how you want it).

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer. Place it on top of your Oval template paper layer.
Duplicate your tube one time and Adjust>Blur>Gaussian Blur>3 and then change the blend mode to Lighten.
