Add your copyrights.

Add your name.
Give it a slight inner bevel:


Now we’re going to start animating the tag…

Close out all your layers.
Starting with the bottom layer (white canvas), open them up until you reach the paper back to the film strip that is horizontal.


Copy Merge and carry into Animation Shop.
Edit/Paste as New Animation.
Ctrl + L and tap the L key until you have a total of 10 frames.

Open up the Monti Bling 2010.
Ctl + A to highlight all frames.
Animation/Resize Animation
"Percentage of Original" checked.
80%
OK.
Be sure all of the bling frames are highlighted.
Edit/Copy

Make your tag frames active.
Ctrl + A
Ctrl + E and center the bling in the first rectangle.
Ctrl + E again, center in the center rectangle.
Ctrl + E again, center in the last rectangle.

Go back into PSP.
Close out all frames.
Starting at the frame that covers the bottom horizontal rectangle, open up the layers until you get to the paper back of the angled film strip.


Copy Merge and carry into Animation Shop.
Ctrl + A to be sure all your tag frames are highlighted.
Click on the Propagate Paste Icon at the top
(It looks like 3 folders with the corners bent down)
Ctrl + E
Position the frame over the bottom paper layer.
If you didn’t get it exact you can always click on the undo button and have a go at it again.

Now open up the glittered “Happy New Year” words that I’ve supplied.
Ctrl + A
Edit/Copy
Make your tag frames active again.
Ctrl + A
Ctrl + E
Position them over the angled paper back.

Go back into PSP.
Close out all layers.
Reopen the remaining layers starting with the angled film frame.


Copy Merge and carry into AS.
Make your tag frames active.
Ctrl + A
Ctrl + E
Position the angled frame over the angled paper.

View your animation.
If you’re happy then click on Animation/Resize Animation.
(It should still be set on 80% from resizing the bling)
OK
Save your animation.
