Supplies:
Kit- Summer Smiles by Disyas Digital Designs, which is available at Lollipops N Gumdrops here
Tube- I’m using the work of Elias Chatzoudis which is available at PTE with a valid license.
Font- Smiley Monster or font of choice
Photoshop CS5 or program of choice
I’m on a Mac, so when I use Command you may need to use Ctrl
Here we go :)
Command+N to open a new canvas, 700x700, transparent background.
Open fr5 and place in lower left of canvas. Command+J to duplicate, then reposition copy in upper right of canvas like I have. Merge frame layers into 1.
Open paper of choice (I used p7) and place below frames.
Activate your magic wand tool (w) and click inside the frames. Click in the parts where the string loops too..just try to select as much as possible inside the frame.
Select>Modify>Expand by 5px. Select>Inverse. Hit delete on paper layer. Deselect.
Open element 61 and place at bottom of frames. Duplicate 2x. Spread flowers along bottom of tag- refer to my tag for placement.
Now open your tube of choice and place below flowers, between the frames. Add drop shadow of choice. I used- Opacity 45, Angle 120, Distance 8, Size 7.
Decorate your tag with elements from the kit. From bottom to top I used:
34
74
42
48
28
30
58
Add drop shadow of choice to elements (including frames). I used- Opacity 45, Angle 120, Distance 3, Spread 2, Size 5.
Using the Rectangle Marquee tool (m), create a selection around the entire tag, just a bit smaller than the canvas. Image>Crop. This will get rid of any stray pixels/dropshadows.
Image>Trim>Transparent Pixels...this will eliminate and excess space around the tag.
Add copyright and license info.
Add name and any text of choice.
Merge, save, enjoy :o)

I'm on a Mac, so when I use Command, you may need to use Ctrl
Here we go :)
Open your template. Image>Duplicate. Close out original.
Increase canvas size to 700x700. Delete the credit layer.
Replace each template layer with papers for your kit. To do this-
Command+Click each layer icon in the Layer Palette box-this will make a selection around the shape.
Drag paper of choice as a new layer above template layer.
Select>Inverse. On paper layer hit Delete. Deselect. Delete original template layer.
For each layer I used:

Select>Inverse. Hit delete on the tube layer. Deselect. Change blend mode to Luminosity.
Duplicate layer, change that blend mode to Hard Light.
Repeat above steps with your next tube close up on the right rectangle layer.
Now add your main tube of choice to the center of the template, as the top most layer.
I like to add a soft glow to my tubes, so if you want to-
Duplicate tube layer. On copy go to Filters>Blur>Gaussian Blur- 2px radius
Blend mode Overlay, Opacity 55%. Play with the settings for your tube choice!
On the 3 rectangle layers, and the film strip layer, I also added a 2px white stroke to make them stand out.
You can find this in your Layer Styles window by double clicking on the layer.
Now, above the filmstrip layer, we are going to add some elements from the kit.
Refer to my tag for placement if you like.
