Simple task - Fun Results

Type some text - use a bold/fat font for best results

Open a background paper or make one of your own using brushes and contrasting colors - small print design on paper works best

Visually place background paper over text - Paper must be over text for the background paper to appear within the text
(Example above does not show paper over text - you would move the paper over the black text before clipping)

While on Paper Layer in Layers Panel -- Clip paper to text - Layer> Create Clipping Mask

Go to paper layer -- Move and resize paper to get the look you want

Add Bevel on text layer - Layer> Layer Style> Style Setting> Bevel/Up/25 pixels

You can also use this technique to clip background paper to any shape.

This has always been a favorite design technique of mine. I notice I broke away from doing it but now I’m planning on using it more

This idea started from the thread at the above link. I used one of the textures provided in the link

Although not 'festive' - this tutorial was a good use of the textures provided in the link in the first post in the above thread.

Here are the settings for the bevel/outline
