*NEW* Basic Text Border Tutorial by Me

This is a basic tutorial I wrote for making the names or text on your tags to stand out when you don't have the use of filters like Gradient Glow. It's very simple and easy and a great tool to remember when creating your tags.

To do the tutorial, just click on the tag above.

Go Purple for Animals Tutorial by Me

I had a few people ask me about my tag which was first created as a timeline cover. So I wrote out a tutorial for it - both as a timeline tut and a sigtag. It uses no scraps, but for a pawprint made by me, which I have included. I hope you enjoy it.

This week's "Show Me the Talent" challenge in DLT featured the artwork of Josephine Wall and scrap kits by Seachell Scrapz. As I adore Josephine's work I simply HAD to create a tag, and of course write a tutorial as well. *s* I hope you like it. Tube and scrap kit are both FTU.

Smokin' Hot Tutorial by Me

There were two tubes for this week's challenge and I had to use the second one as well, this time incorporating it with the first one and using the same kits. I struggled with what to call this one but with the one tube "smoking" and the other a "burlesque" which could be construed as "hot", I came up with "Smokin' Hot"....Best I could do! lol
I hope you like this one too!

This week's challenge in the DragonsLairTubes group was the artwork of Medusa using this tube and the Burlesque Collab between Avenue and Misty. I love the tubes and right away I got to work on this tutorial! I also gave an alternate version using a different mask than the one in the tutorial.
I hope you like them...and the tutorial!!

Once again we have been given a challenge to make a tag with a specific tube and kit....and once again I decided to write a tutorial with it. *s* Went in several directions before I finally settled on the result...lol BUT, having said that, I have written the tutorial with TWO different animations.
I hope you like them, and if you try them, be sure to send me your results. I'd love to see what you do with it!

Witch Way Tutorial by Me

Well, it's been a while since I wrote a tutorial and this challenge was put up in a copyright compliant group I am in - using this awesome tube of Popeye Wong's and one of two FTU scrapkits from Foxys Designz. YES! An FTU kit. lol
Anyway, this tutorial I call "Witch Way?" can be found on my tutorial blog. I hope you enjoy it, and that I'm not too rusty with writing them....lol It's been a while.

This is another version with the tube I did:

Friendship Tutorial by Me

I was inspired this afternoon to write a tutorial. Not just any tutorial, but one without scraps, and using the tools, effects and filters in PSP. So I had a bit of a play with a photo hubby took of myself and Susan (of Tootypup Scraps) when were on holiday in Mildura last month. Susan, of course, thinks the tag could be better if she wasn't in it. lol
I hope you like the tutorial, which can be either animated or not. And please, if you do try it, be sure to send me your results to designed.by.stina@gmail.com

More than I Deserve Tutorial

I was asked to write a tutorial of this tag I made last week with my "Here Come the Newborns" freebie. WOW...it has been nearly a year since I wrote a tut and I went through the steps once again and wrote it out for those who wish to give it a go. Actually, I think this is the first tutorial I've written with one of my own kits!! LOL I hope you like it.

Tutorial - "Good Girl Gone Badder"

(click image for tutorial)

I am always asked to do more tuts using FTU kits, but as I explain to others, I am on many CTs and have obligations to write tuts for the kits of those designers and stores as a way of advertising them. You never have to use the same kits as I do - I simply showcase them. Now I do try to write FTU tuts as time permits

And this one is such the case. I hope you like it!! Enjoy, and don't forget to show me your results! *g*
