Now go to Effects>Plugins>Eye Candy 4000>Glass with the following settings:

Now we're going to add perspective shadows to a few elements to make them look like they're on the ground.
Some elements are pre-shadowed so we don't have to mess with those. Leave them as they are.

Ornament4_bluepurple.png and Ornament4_pink.png will get the following shadow:

sb-pmt-candygirl-shoe.png (you should have 2 shoes) will get the following shadow:

sb-pmt-candygirl-ribbon 1.png will get the shadow I provided you in my supplies.

Candy Girl wordart on your template will get the following shadow:

Shadow the rest of your elements with Effects>3D Effects>Drop Shadow with the following settings:

Black

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.
Make your oval template layer active and with your magic wand, click it.
Selections>Invert.
Hit delete on your keyboard on both tube layers.

Selections>Select All. Selections>Clip to Canvas. Image>Crop to Selection.

Crop your tag and resize as desired.

Add your copyright and name.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my tut!

♥Let's Start♥

Open a new canvas size 600x600 px and 72 dpi. You can resize later if you want.

Open frame1.png.

Open candy1.png and candy2.png. Add them both to the same canvas, give them a nice drop shadow, and merge them together.
See my tag for placement before merging.

Copy and paste your merged candies under your frame layer and duplicate them 6 times. You should now have 7 of them.
Place them around (rotate as needed) the inside edge of the thin part of the frame. No need to place them under the thicker part because it will be covered.

Open the following elements and place them how I have mine. Resize if needed. See my tag for reference.

Selections>Select All>Clip to Canvas. Image>Crop to Selection.

Place a nice drop shadow on each layer that compliments the tag.

Open your tube and copy and paste as a new layer and place it under your frame layer.
Duplicate your tube one time and move it above your frame layer.
Make your frame layer active and with your magic wand, click inside the frame.
Selections>Modify. Selections>Expand by 2. Selections>Invert.
On your bottom tube layer, hit delete on your keyboard. On your top tube layer, erase the parts that are out of the frame.
Add a drop shadow to the top tube layer.

Open your mask and add paper1.jpg to the bottom of your tag.

Add your copyright and name.

Save as .png or .jpg, whichever you prefer.

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my tut!
