Okay so before I start you should just have some basic knowledge about layer masks you can find some great tutorials on youtube for that and I'm terrible at explaining things but I will try my best!

1.Okay so for the first gif with the moving text I first went to file> new and set the canvas size to 250 x 500 px

2.I wanted the image to have the same background as the main image so I inserted the same texture like so and pressed ctrl+t to move and place it where I wanted:

3.I added all my text but added each word in a separate layer and lined them up.

4.I wanted to animate my text.I don't think I need to explain this as I already made a text animation tutorial here.

5.For the next gif I went to file > new and set the canvas size to: 500px by 500px.

6.I inserted the texture and set my timeline to video:

7. For this next step there a several ways of doing it.I wanted to make a gif of rose with no background .So once I got the gif up in photoshop in a separate file I set the time delay on all the layers to 0.1 seconds.

8.One way of getting rid of the background is to layer by layer use the lasso tool to cut out rose from each scene,or use the rubber to rub out the background from each layer wish would look better but would take forever. The way I done it was to once I set my time delay convert the time line to video. (you can do this by clicking on the little arrow thing in the right hand corner.)

9.Once that's done I selected all the layers right clicked and selected convert to smart object.

10.I selected the rubber and went on a soft brush to make the edges fade in with the background and started rubbing out the background it doesn't have to be exact I mean it won't be anyway but you can always rub out more if it doesn't look quite right later.So now I have this:

11.Now that's done I inserted the gif into the texture file.I done this by grabbing my gif file from the top bar so it popped out like this:

12.The layer with the gif should still be in the corner if not just click the file.Then with the texture in the background drag the gif layer at the side to the texture layer.Now I have this:

12. This looks really odd at the moment so the first thing I wanted to do was shrink the image. After that I need to blend her legs into the background there are several ways you could do this the first way which is what I did is to just use a soft brush and rub out the parts you want to blend in. Another way is to first convert to smart object again add another layer mask and use the gradient tool.

13. After that I added some colouring to the image and set it to only apply to that layer by holding down Alt. Then I save for web and devices
