Various templates exist to create diptychs and triptychs but using something standard might just not suit your photo as you might end up with a face cut in the middle or some other subjects not being really well showcased. This script will allow you to select the subjects to showcase and it will do all the calculations to split the photo between those areas you will determine.
After that, you can choose the thickness and the color of the borders. In the end, everything will be left unmerged so you can tweak the result even further.

As a sample, I created a split photo starting with a simple black image, which turns into a template that you can use with your own photo. You can change the color of the borders and the background if you want too.

Another way to add a special message, a date, a name, or a location is through the use of a datestamp. Those can be a simple and discrete way to add some information on a project without the traditional look of labels or journaling.
For a sampler, I created a total of 16 greyscale datestamps related to various school grades (from pre-K to University). Since they are greyscale, you can colorize them however you want to match your project.
If you have some paper-related projects and you need a fun and unique title, why not use a series of layered outline cutouts? Although this might be a bit tedious to do manually, you are in luck as this script can do that for you in no time.
As a sampler, I used the fading color option starting with dark green. This would be perfect for any St-Pat project, but it could also be used for titles for a birthday or a papercraft event.
Graduation is a special milestone in anyone's life and you can commemorate it with a tassel in the colors of the school and the year attached to it.
As a sampler, I created a greyscale tassel with a gold ring. You can colorize the tassel however you want, and you can use one of the eight "year tags" included.
How about getting smaller pieces of paper cut or torn from a larger one? You can now cut or tear papers or photos with your PaintShop Pro and this script.
For a sampler, I used one paper from a kit from Marisa Lerin, and generated 15 different bits of torn paper.
Have you ever wondered if you could create your own coins with a favorite quote or design? Now, you can do just that with this script.
As a sampler, I created a set of coins for birthdays. With individual digits, you can write happy birthday wishes for anyone turning 1 or 101! Each coin is quite large so you can resize them to fit your project.
Our first script to create cookies was quite popular, so I decided to bake another batch.
While working on those cookies, I had a craving for some sweets! I created a whole alphabet (A to Z) using graham wafers half dipped in chocolate. I think they look delicious, don't you think? Of course, if you want, you can add some sprinkles too!
Whether you want to write your name in sand, or clear the skating rink into a heart shape, you want to create that raised edge on the side of your design.
For a sampler, I created a complete alphabet of ice and snow. You can add it to any snow background as the ice is partially translucent. It will pick up the background color if you want. Otherwise, you can always add another layer below the ice and fill it with a solid color. But hey, why not pretend you are fishing, and add some fish under the surface of the ice?
In order to showcase your photos, there are many different ways. You can use slats in different shapes but in order to create those slats evenly, it is a tedious process.
For a sampler, I created one mask and left it on a full-size project so you can simply add your favorite photo to it and customize it further. Change the color of the outline if you want.
Watercolor can be a great way to showcase a landscape, a location or anything else, but like any tangible medium, it could be messy.
As a sample, I created a simple page that uses the same mask as on the main preview. Of course, you would have to add the watercolor effect on the image to get the colors you want but this mask will give that look on the edges without any work.
