Kit or supplies of choice, I used Classic Tidings by me
Font of choice

The scrapkit I used was called Classic Tidings by me, which you can get here

Ok let's get started...

This is a really easy tut. Open a canvas 650 x 650. Open the wooden frame that came in the kit. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize as needed. Rotate very slightly to the side. Copy and paste the frame as a new layer again. Resize slightly smaller then the first time. Rotate 90 degrees right so it is upright. Rotate slightly. You want it to overlap the bigger frame slightly. Duplicicate and mirror. Arrange how you wish this frame to be. Activate the biggest (bottom) frame. Copy and paste the tube or graphic of choice as a new layer. Resize as needed. Place it directly behind the frame. Remove any excess. Click back on the frame and add a soft drop shadow of choice. Repeat this process to the other 2 frames.

Open ribbon wrapper of choice. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize as needed. Arrange it so that it is under the right smaller frame but over the remaining 2 frames. See my tag as example. Arrange how you like and add a soft drop shadow of choice.

Now decorate around your frames using whatever elements you want from the kit. Ensure they are all on seperate layers. When happy add a drop shadow of choice to each layer.

Open Christmas doodle. Copy and paste as a new layer. Resize as needed. Send to the bottom. Arrange how you want it to look peeking out from behind the frames. When happy add a drop shadow of choice.

Click on the top layer. New layer. Take your elipse selection tool and draw a small elipse. Fill with a color of choice. Selections none. Guassian blur 50. Arrange how you want it to look peeking out from the frame. Duplicate and flip. Rearrange as needed. Send both layers to the bottom. Lower opacity until happy with the shade.

Add your text where you are happy now. Apply any appropriate copyright information. Crop and resize as needed. Save as a png or jpeg and you're done.
