Drop shadow is usually V-2 H-2 Black, 50, 5, use what you prefer.

Let's get started

*Remember to add your drop shadow as you go along*

Open the template, resize all checked to 90%, then canvas size 800 x 800.
Delete the credits, and all parts if the wordart and
the pixel wordart. I left the little flowers, but if you prefer
not to have them, then delete them also.

Make a gradient with #b10508 foreground and #2f4e14 background, angle 45,
repeat on 3, fill on the  bottom layer, apply your mask, delete, merge group.
Take your Pick tool to adjust the mask how you like.

Starting with the bottom, select the green rectangle layer, select all, float,
defloat, paste paper 1 into selected layer, select none.
Light pink rectangle, select all, float, defloat, paste paper 1 into selected layer, then go
to Selections, Modify, Select Selection Borders, number on 3, add a new
raster layer, fill with #b10508, add noise at 55%.

Merge pink square right down with pink square left, select, float, defloat,
add a new layer, fill with #b10508, select none, delete the pink squares.
Apply the xero filter-Fritillary with these settings
5, 30, 100, 20
Add a fat gradient glow with Eye Candy 4000 with the green color.

Merge green square right down with green square left, paste paper 2 into
selection, then paste your close up tube on one side, mirror then paste on
the other side, invert, delete both, select none.
Change the blend mode on the tubes to Overlay.

Select the dark blue rectangle 1, new raster layer, fill with the red color.
Select the next dark blue rectangle, paste paper 2 into selection, select none.
Select the pink rectangle, paste paper 2 into the selection, select none.

Select the light blue rectangle, paste paper 1 into selection, select none. Add a
fat gradient glow with the green first, then with the red.

Select the pink noisy circle, fill with red, add noise at 55%.
Select the blue circle, add a new layer, fill with the red, apply the xero filter
with the same settings as before.

White circle, add a new layer, fill with the green, add noise at 55%, delete
the white layer.
Green circle, paste paper 1 into selection, select none.
Light pink circle, paste paper 2 into selection, select none.

Resize your tube to 45%, paste toward the left.

Resize element 1 to 50%, apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, change the
first number to 16, paste on the mask layer to one side, duplicate,
move over to the other side.
Open element 1 again, resize to 40%, take your Pick tool, hold the shift key down,
drag the top square down, and then the other side until the leaf is as
flat at you like, then move below the tube, duplicate several times and move
how you want.

Resize the raccoon in the log to 35%, paste on the right above the tube.
Resize deco 3 to 10%, apply Mura Meister Copies-Encircle, first number on 12,
paste on the large red circle below the tube layer.
Resize the grass to 75%, paste below the stump on the right, duplicate,
mirror.
Resize the erdbeerpflanze to 55%, paste on the right above the grass, duplicate,
mirror, move above the grass layer.
Resize deco 4 to 15%, place by the raccoon, duplicate a couple times and place one
on top of the stump and the others where you prefer.
Resize erbeeren to 15%, paste on the left by the hand of the tube,
duplicate, move where you like.

Resize deco 5 to 30%, paste at the bottom by the tube's knee.
Resize the erbeerlaterne to 40%, paste below the grass layer on the left,
duplicate, mirror, adjust.
Resize deco 2 to 40%, mirror, paste on the brown circle below the tube.

Add any other elements you would like to add.
If you want to do the wordart like I did, take your preset circle, close off the background
color, draw a circle as much as you want it, then add a new layer,
click on the circle with your text until you get a curve under the letter,
open the background color and
type whatever you want yours to say, delete the circle, change the wording to a
raster layer. Either add a white gradient glow or do a white background.

Crop your tag to be sure no stray shadows are on the edges of your tag.

Once happy with it all, close off any backgrounds, merge visible.

Resize first, duplicate, go to Adjust, Blur, Gaussian blur, number on 4,
change the blend mode to Screen, apply the xero filter, Soft Mood two or three times,
then apply xero Clarity twice, merge down, add your copyrights and name.

That's it

Hope you enjoyed doing my tut.
