Welcome to Crazed Creations by Crystal Tutorials!
I have been hunting down all of my tutorials for a few years now,
and finally I was able to locate them just the other day.
Some things to know about these tutorials... 
Most of them are missing links to supplies, whether it is 
because an artist or designer has retired, tagger's blog has 
been deleted etc. In this case, please treat the tutorial
as inspiration. As I update each tutorial, I will slowly re-release them.
ALL Tutorials before 2024 are AI FREE, meaning no AI was used.
and all newer tutorials will be labelled accordingly.

Any and all Tutorials posted within this site
are of my own creation.
Any similarities to any other is purely coincidental.
 DO NOT CLAIM AS YOUR OWN!
You are allowed to use them as challenges within your forum 
by linking back to this site.
I hope you enjoy the tutorials that I have created.
Please feel free to leave comments and or suggestions!!!
Some tips...
I use abbreviations in my tutorials, 
the more common ones are below:
C&P~Copy and Paste
RS~Re-size
DS~Drop Shadow
MW~Magic Wand

*Updated November 2025*
Supplies:
Tube by PinUp Toons
He has not been in a store since SDNC
Template by Denny HERE
Scrap Kit by A Space Between
This kit is unavailable but any Winter kit should work
Filters:
None
Drop Shadow:
Whatever you prefer
Template:
(I work from bottom to top of the template)
*Raster 1...MW...C&P into selection paper 8
Apply a Mask of Choice
*Dotted Line...Select all/Float/De-float
Flood Fill with the color #91583b add some noise
*Patterned Back...Select all/Float/De-float
Flood fill with White
*Rectangle...MW...C&P into selection paper 10
*Strip...MW...C&P as a new layer paper 14
RS 55% 2x's and again by 75%...chose what part of the paper you like
Invert/Delete...Merge Down
*Shape...C&P into selection paper 9
*Frame Backs...Select/Modify/Expand 1...C&P into selection paper 5
*Frames...Select/Modify/Expand 2...C&P into selection paper 11
MW inside the frames...1st frame...Duplicate/Original Blend Mode
(Luminance L)/Copy Blend Mode (Overlay)...Drop Opacity to 75%
2nd & 3rd frame...Repeat steps for the 1st frame
but play with the Blend modes
C&P Elements:
*Element 34...RS 55% 4x's and again 85%...
Place above the shape layer
*Element 54...RS 45% 2x's and again 75%
Weave the element above and below the frames
(Best way to do this is place a copy of the element
on top of the frames and one on the bottom underneath the
Frame backs...the copy on top of the frames would be the one
you would erase parts of to create the weave.)
*Element 14...RS 25% and again 75%...Place above the
Patterned Back and slide towards the top right corner
*Element 27...RS 25% and again 65% 2x's
*Element 2...RS to suit your taste...Place multiples in various
places and sizes
*Element 16...RS 25%, 45% and again 75%...Place in front of
the wagon wheel
*Element 18...RS 25% 4x's or until the size is preferred
Weave the element like you did with the leaves.
Add any other elements you like
Add your preferred Tube where you think it looks best
Add your name, Copyright info and Watermark
Re-Size your tag if you want to and you are done
