Are you remembering to save your stationery in PSP format, often?  Better do it now.

Now it's time to place our tubes. Have yours ready? Okay, let's get
started.

You can place your tubes anywhere you like on your stationery.

Click on your tube icon in your tool bar.  It's in the tool bar on the left and looks like this: 

If your "Tools Options" window is not open in PSP, you need to open it.  You can do that by click on the "Toggle Tool" in the top tool bar.  It looks like this:    Click on the Tool Options bar so that it opens up for you.  Use these settings:

Now click on the arrow that I have circled in red.  Another window will open up, and you will be able to see your tubes.  It will look like this:

Click on the tube your want to place in the upper left hand corner of your stationery.

Add a new layer.  To do this go to Layers/New Raster....in your top tool bar.

Now with your tube tool still selected, place your cursor where you want your tube to be, and left click your mouse.  Now your tube is on your stationery.

If your tube isn't quite where you wanted it, select your Mover tool (it's in your left tool bar) and move the tube where you want it.

The first tube I placed in the upper left corner.

Follow the same procedure above to place each tube you want on your stationery.

The second tube I place in the lower right corner.

And in the lower left corner, I cut out the puppy of my tube image and used my clone tool to fill in some areas, so that it made him look as if he were peeping out of the corner.  Like this:

Now, save your stationery as a psp file. That way you can use the same stationery, but change out your tubes whenever you want.

If you save your stationery in psp format before you merge your layers, then you can go back delete the layers with the tubes, and add a new layer in it's place, then add new tubes. Giving you a whole new stationery, but with the same stationery background.

Have that stationery saved in PSP format now? Great. Now go to
Layers/Merge/Merge All (Layers is in your top tool bar), and save as a jpg format.  Name it whatever you want.

Now you're ready to print out your beautiful new stationery, but before you do, let's make sure your printer settings are correct.  Below is an image of my printer settings.  Yours may not look exactly like mine, but should be very similar.  The main points are the ones I have circled.

Once you have your settings set, then click "OK".  Now you're ready to print.

To print out your stationery, just open it up in PSP, go to File/Print.

That's it. We're done. Now wasn't that fun?

***NOTE***
While making this tutorial, I have found that with using the
"Lines Template" on your next Layered Printable Stationery, some of your lines may appear uneven once you flood fill them and paste
them to your new stationery. Therefore, you may have to draw them
with each stationery you make.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
