Word Art Template Tutorial
This is my first try at tutorial writing so please bare with me. I first learned this by seeing  Allison's Addictions Tutorial here~
Im Writing this Tutorial using Corel Paintshop Pro 2019. Should work basically the same with other versions of PSP. 
Supplies Needed~
Font- Coluna Rounded you can find here~
Eye Candy 5 Impact-Glass
OK Here we go~~~

First we are going to open a new image 700x700 then add a new raster layer . this will give u 2 layers in your layers Palette. 1 white and 1 transparent layer. 
On the transparent layer with your text tool you are going to type out the word u want to template in Capitol letters size 180 using the Coluna Rounded Font or any bold font you want to use. Doesn't matter what color you use cause you can change it later. When you type your word out , you'll see your layer is a vector. Do not change that yet. After you type out your word, take your cursor and drag the corners to the desired size you want. Then convert your layer to a Raster Layer. You should have a word look like this along with your layer Palette~

Now we are going to make a background layer. 
 Select-
 Selections-Select all-Float
Selections-Modify-Exspand by 3. Now you should have marching ants around your letters. Now create a new raster layer below your word. Now flood fill this layer with color of choice and then Selections -select none.
If your going to use this template now then also
Add Noise Effect-Uniform 60% with Monochrome checked if desired. 
If your going to use this Template later and might want to change the background color then don't add noise at this time. Your Template and layers paletteshould look like this~

Now we are going to add our glass effect layer.
With your main Word highlighted in ur layers palette
Select- Selections- select all -float- defloat
No create a new raster layer above your main word. 
Go to Effects-Eye Candy 5- Impact-Glass
Use these settings for glass

Close up~

Select none-
Now you have all your layers seperate . you can crop it and save as a Pspimage or a PSD file. 
Now your template and layers palette should look like this

Heres ur what it should look like ( other then colors )
