This tutorial is of my own creation and any resemblance to any other tuts is purely coincidental. This tutorial is for personal use only, using it for monetary gain is against our TOU's.

Supplies Needed:

~Gimp (any version will do).

~Tube of choice. I used the artwork of PinUpToons, you must have a license to use this art which you can get from CDO HERE.

~Old Navy Xmas PTU scrapkit by A Taggers Scrap, which you find HERE.

~Font of choice. I used Valentina JF.

Let's get started!!!!!

1. Open a new layer ( I prefer a large canvas, so I make mine 1050x656). Make your canvas transparent (Layer > Transparency > Color to alpha).

2. Open Frame 2, add drop shadow (Filters > Light & Shadow > Drop Shadow).

3. Open Paper 7 center it behind Frame 2, remove excess paper using a cutting tool or eraser.

4. Open Frame 1, place it under Frame 2 & Paper 7 in your layer box. Add drop shadow.

5. Open tube, add drop shadow.

6. Open and place the following elements:

Snowflake 1

Tree 1

Snowman

Snowman 3

Reindeer 2

Leaf

Leaves

Ornament 10

Ornament 11

Ornament 16

Candle 2

Gifts

Gift 4

Santa Hat

Ribbon 5

~Some elements may need to be sized down. Using the Scale Tool in your tool box adjust pixels to desired size~

~Add drop shadow to all elements~

7. Open Snowflakes 2 element and place it under all other elements in your layer box. This will give the effect of using a mask.

8. Merge layers (Image > Merge Visible Layer).

9. Crop image (Image > Autocrop Image).

10. Scale image to desired size (Image > Scale Image).

11. Add copyright info and name.

12. Save as .png
