Delete  or hide Credit layer. ( I hide mine and send it to bottom)

For all paper layers (Unless otherwise specified), click on the layer, add a new raster layer, and
copy and paste your paper into selections.

to see your tag in the making better, but I usually do not.

a new layer, copy and paste your paper  into selections-layers duplicate,

I also  gave each template layer a white background noise layer.
To do this, click on the layer with your magic wand. Then, make a new raster layer then
expand selections by 3 and  floodfill with white.
Deselect. Now move this layer under your paper. Add noise to your
satisfaction. I used 100% - 2 times.
