Open the template in psp and resize by 90% all layers checked.

Image>canvas size and change to 700x700 pixels all layers checked.

Re floodfill the white background and delete the credit layer.

Paste a paper of choice as a new layer and apply your mask.

*As this is a full sized kit i always resize my papers to 700x700 pixels*

Layers>new mask layer>scroll to mask and hit ok.Merge group.

I deleted the bottom scroll white and it`s shadow layers and moved the top one up slightly.

♥

Click on any of the template layers with your magic wand,

and paste a paper of choice as a new layer.

Selections>invert>edit>cut and deselect.

X out the original template layer.

Add a drop shadow to your new template layer-i use 2,2 50 5.

Repeat thse steps until all the template layers are filled.

♥

Paste your tube as a new layer,and place along the bottom of the canvas.

♥

Open the ribbon element and resize 15%.

You can use your deform tool to stretch it longer or wider.

Sharpen and place under the tube so your tube sits on it.

Add a drop shadow.

Open the banner element and resize by 15% and place under the ribbon.

Add a drop shadow and sharpen.

Repeat with the stitching element.

Open the chocolates element and resize by 20%,place next to your tube.

Open the teddy bear resize by 10%,place on top of the chocolates.

Now keep adding any elements you like from the kit,resizing and sharpening as you go.

You can use my tag as a guide.

♥

You can re-colour the top scroll element using the manual color correction tool

there`s a tut here if you are not sure how to use it.

♥

When you are happy with your tag add your name using a font or a alpha.

I used an alpha and placed a ribbon from the kit next to it then used my eraser tool

to remove parts of the ribbon so it looks like it`s going through the alpha. 

♥

Now delete the white background,merge all layers and resize to your liking.

Add your credits and that`s it you are done!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial :)
