Tags & Tuts by Magik 1

This board is to show off any tags or tutorials I've done,
using any of my own kits- PTU or FTU.

I've said this a hundred times, I'm sure: 
I believe if you make a kit, you should be able to use it 

& sometimes CT it yourself as well. 

Anyway, each tag or set of tags I'll post in a new entry in here.

I won't be posting all of the extras I made with my kits
since they're already re-posted on my blog. 
If I made extras with my kits and they're not posted here,
you can check here for a list of extras I have made. 

Links to any of my FTU items will be posted as well.
As for my PTU kits, right now that isn't possible. 

Please read my post here: 

Thank you. 

Magik's Tag Showoff

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted my own tags, I think.

Some of you may know that at times I do CT my own kits, because:
#1- My CT isn't huge nor do I want it to be.
#2 I think it's good to know your own kits & also show others 

that you're making kits that you, 

yourself are happy to use as well. 

Anyway, these are the tags I've made 

the past couple months using my own kits.
Some are HIM tags, some were 'centerpieces' 

for my HIM-Addicts site & some are an
extra that was made for me to leave 

on members' profiles over there. 

It goes without saying to not take these tags & 

alter/ change them nor claim them as your own.
Also, please do not try to recreate them without my permission.
These are only examples of my own work, only. 


To start off, these first 2 tags were made using my Faerie Fantasy kit.

These next 2 were made using my Spring Fling kit.
*This kit has since been made FTU & can now be found here.

Now, get ready for the HIM tags. 

For the first 2 tags, I used my Dark Light kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.

These were made for 'Heartagram Day':

I made this centerpiece using my Screw Valentines kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.

For these 2 tags, I used my CT exclusive Dark Light #3 kit.
*I've made this kit available here in the 

And I recently made this centerpiece using my FTU Pink'd kit.
*This kit can now be found here.

I have to say, this next centerpiece I'm quite proud of 

& I used my All Lips Go Blue kit. 
The animation I used comes from the band's official 

music video of their song by the same name.

And last but not least, I had a few plays with 

my newest HIM-spired kit, 'Into The Night'.

This first centerpiece uses animation 

from the band's official 'Into The Night' video:

And another centerpiece:

And the last 2 are tags I made to leave on profiles:

Thank you so much for looking.

Magik's Tag Show Offs

It's that time again...

Some of you may know that at times I do CT my own kits, because:
#1- My CT isn't huge nor do I want it to be.
#2 I think it's good to know your own kits & also show others that you're making kits that
you- yourself are happy to use as well. 

Anyway, these are the tags I've made the past few weeks using my own kits.
Some are HIM tags, just so you know. 

It goes without saying to not take these tags & alter/ change them nor claim them as your own.
Also, please do not try to recreate them without my permission.
These are only examples of my own work, only.
Thank you for understanding my rules about my tags. 


To start off, I made a couple tags with my Bitches Be Trippin' kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.

These next four tags were made using my Join Me In Death kit.

Now, I did make a 3rd tag with that kit 

& I used a template from Kristin of Toxic Desirez:

And here's the fourth tag:

The next tags were made with my Fancy My Booty? kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.

Just kind of playing I made this tag with my old Swag Alley Blues kit.
*This kit has since been updated and is now FTU, here.

And this last tag was made with my Yo Ho Ho kit:
*This kit was later updated & made FTU. 

Thank you so much for looking.

I thought I should maybe post some 

of my tags I've made with my kits as well 

& I also have a blog layout I did for a friend, 

using one of my own kits. 

But first I'll post my tags. 
I promise there's no HIM tags this time, 

but there is one HIM-spired FB cover. 

It goes without saying to not take these tags 
& alter/ change them nor claim them as your own.
Also, please do not try to recreate them without my permission.
These are only examples of my own work.
Thank you for understanding my rules about my tags.


The first tags I made were made using my Little Flirt kit.

I made this tag with my Roller Doll kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & given
as a gift to the Artistic Tag Passions forum & is only avail there.

And I made two tags with my Indulgence kit.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & recently given
as a gift to the Artistic Tag Passions forum & is only avail there.
**It is also available in this forum as a freebie- for members only.

The following are Facebook covers I've made.
I also made matching profile pix, but I'm not going to post those. 

This one was made with Bitches Be Trippin.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.

Made with Indulgence:

Made with Dark Light
...And yes, this is my HIM-spired cover.
*This kit was later retired/ discontinued & is no longer available.




Now as for the blog layout.
First of all, I normally do NOT do blog layouts for anyone else.
I will do my own & that's pretty much it.
I just use the tools that come with Blogger & my PSP.

I have Artisteer (or whatever it's called) & refuse to use it,
since I visit many blogs that are designed with that 

& they just do NOT load correctly or don't look right. 

Anyway, Alisha had asked me to make her a blinkie for her blog.
Again, this is something I rarely ever do. And I made her this one:

I used my Stardust & Moonlight kit to make it.

She liked the blinkie & then asked me if I could make her blog match it.
Again, I only do my own blog, BUT! I gave it a go & this is a screenshot of it:

I actually love how it turned out. 
And since I made her new clothes for her blog, 

I also had to make her this matching siggy:

Thank you so much for looking.

FTU- Peaceful Reflections Extras

For these extras, I used my own newly released, 
'Reflections Of Her' kit which is exclusive to my own little shop.

I also used the always beautiful artwork of Zindy. 

All I ask is please do not alter, resize, add names, 
brushes, elements or anything else to these tags,
nor rip them apart in any way to make new tags. 
Thank you. 

*The rest of these extras can be found here.

I hope you enjoy these pretty extras!

Here's a tag I made using my Black No. 1 kit.

Find my tutorial here.

These are more tags I'd made with my kits,
in 2015 that I haven't posted yet.

There are a lot of them & I'm not even including special 

comment-like ones I'd made for my HIM-Addicts site
(when it was still HIM-Addicts) or my HA Facebook page.
Other HIM-Addicts tags will be posted though, 

as well as other 'HIM-spired' tags.
You've been forewarned. 

Since there are so many, I'll be splitting these up into a few posts.
They will not be posted in any kind of order.

And... BTW- at times I do have a tendency to tag a kit 

of mine more than once, as will be shown here. 
A lot of times this happens if I'm making a tag and other ideas 

pop into my head for a different tag.  
I do this with other kits as well that aren't mine, 

if the kit inspires me. 

Anyway, this is the first batch:

Magik's Tags 2015 Pt. 1

This first batch of tags I'd used my Black No. 1 kit.

Both of these tags are HIM-spired.
This first one I did make as a special tag for my HIM-Addicts members:

I'd made five tags with my Hearts At War kit.

These next tags were made with my 'Stigmata Diaboli' kit.
*This kit was re-worked & recently made available for the first time in my shop.*

The following tag was made with my Strawberry Dreams kit.

And finally, for this post, I have this tag,

made with my 'Dead Lovers' Lane' kit.

Thank you for looking.
