Its better to use Illustrator in combination with Photoshop for this type of work. Illustrator works better with patterns and you end up with scalable artwork that can be used to generate print-ready resolutions.

Then in Illustrator, you create your patterns (many Youtube tutorials available) and then mask them inside words or letters. Copy your final artwork and paste into Photoshop to overlay on top of your product photos.
