Ok let’s get started.

Open your template. Set the canvas size to 800 x 658. Resize your template by 75%.

Delete the text layers.

4 – Paper5. Repeat for layer 13

8 – Paper4. Repeat for layer 11 but flip your paper vertical.

9 – Paper7

12 – set your foreground to #feffff and your background to #6c96ac. Set your foreground to a linear gradient, angle 26, repeats 0, invert checked. On this layer, select all, float, defloat. Add a new raster layer & floodfill with your gradient. Deselect. Duplicate your gradient layer, flip horizontal. Set the opacity to 53.

Open your mask & Paper3. Resize your paper by 60%. Paste as a new layer above the background layer of your template. Apply your mask, merge group. With your pick tool, stretch the edges of the mask layer to the edges of the canvas.

Add noise, gaussian, 25, monochrome checked.

Open element 2. Resize by 50%. Paste as a new layer just above the duplicate gradient layer. Place in the center. Duplicate, then place to the top right corner of the gradient layer. Duplicate, flip horizontal & place to the top left corner of the gradient layer. Merge the santa layers together. On the original gradient layer, select all, float, defloat. On the merged santa layers, selections, invert & press delete. Deselect.

Apply a drop shadow of choice to your layers, if desired. Hide the mask layer, then merge visible. On the merged layer, objects, align, center in canvas. Unhide the mask layer.
