*SHADOWING* You can do it my way or use Photoshop's settings in style settings. My way assures a drop shadow around each shape to get the effect of what Paint Shop Pro can do.

-Color fill each template layer (the original layers) to black using the F key (flood fill tool)

Layer 1: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 1 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking (I do a radius of 5 pixels) --> do it both layers

Layer 2: move layer 2 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 3: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 3 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking --> do it both layers

Layer 4: move layer 4 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 5: duplicate --> hide duplicate layer --> move layer 1 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> unhide the layer 5 copy --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking --> do it both layers

Layer 6: move layer 6 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 7: move layer 7 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 8: move layer 8 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Layer 9: move layer 9 where you'd like to see a drop shadow under the paper layer --> position to your liking --> filter --> blur --> gaussian blur --> change settings to your liking

Add drop shadows to the elements and tube as you desire

Name:
-Font of choice (mine is Grafitti so these settings work for my font. you may need to alter slightly for yours)
-layer --> layer style --> style settings
drop shadow: 30 deg angle; 5, 10, 75%; black
bevel: 5
stroke: 3, 100, black

I did the font 3 times with each color from the kit to say "Rebecca Wuz Here" and that is optional.
