Bonita Tutorial

Open 700x700 (You can resize later) To aid in the creation of the tag, make your background white.

Let's start making a tag!

For the purpose of this tutorial, I will refer to the kit I chose.

The kit I chose is Spring Bonita by Tiny Turtle Designs

Open element 29 and center in the canvas.

Using your magic wand select inside the frame and expand by 5 pixels.

Choose a paper of your choosing. I chose paper 3. You may have to resize the paper.

Copy and paste paper, invert and hit delete on your keyboard. Move below frame.

Don't deselect.

Next choose a tube for your tag.

I am using Bonita by Ninaste from Beehive Studio.

Once you have chosen a tube, duplicate and place in the frame in the center. Hide the duplicated layer.

With the original layer selected, hit delete on your keyboard. Selections None. Move your

your altered tube to the bottom of the frame (but above the paper)

Unhide your duplicated tube layer and place it atop of the frame and line it up with your

altered tube. With your eraser, clear away any excess so that it appears your tube is inside

the frame.

See example for clarification:

Once you are happy with the layout of your tag, SAVE!

Add Copyright information, your license and your favorite font for the name!
