This tutorial was written by me on March 8, 2025. The results are of my own imagination.  Any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental.  

Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own.

This was written assuming you have a working knowledge of PSP.

Please keep in mind that I write the tutorial as I am creating the tag.

Sometimes I may not explain properly where to place things so please see my example if you are ever in doubt :)

Supplies needed

I am using PSP 2018 but this tutorial should work with any version.

PTU Tube:  I am using an adorable multi layered tube called "Pony" by Alex Prihodko.  You can purchase this tube at VM Artists here.

PTU Kit:  I am using a fabulous kit called "Daisy Dreams" created by Starlite and Soul.  You can purchase it here.

Mask_Vivienne_92.png.  You can grab it over on Vivienne's blog here.

Font of choice for your name.  

Plug in: None

Drop shadow of choice.  I am using Vertical 0, Horizontal 5, Opacity 65, Blur 10, color black.

I use Vivienne’s drop shadows quite a bit as I really like the look of her shadows.  Thank you for letting me use your settings for my tutorials.

An image can get blurred when you resize an element or tube in PSP.  I use unsharpen mask for each item.  Vivienne has wonderful tips and tricks on how to do this here.

Please read all the Artist's/Designer's TOU.

Let’s get started.

Open a new 800x800 transparent image.  We will resize later.  Flood fill with white.

Remember to sharpen and drop shadow each image as you create the tag.

Vivienne's mask.  Resize 80%.  Select all, float, defloat.  Add a new raster layer.  Open paper of choice.  I am using paper 5, copy and close the original.  Standing on the new raster layer, Edit, paste into selections.  Select none and delete Vivienne's black mask layer.  Move to the upper left of the tag.  Duplicate and resize 80%.  Move to the lower right of the mask.  Move this layer under the original mask layer.

Crop and resize your tag.  Be careful not to crop off any shadows or mask edges.  I resize mine to 650px on the width (if needed) as that is what fits my blog best.

Hide the white background and save as png.
