New picture tubes – Vines 2

August 19, 2022 by Cassel

Vines picture tubes for PaintShop Pro Time flies and in the fall, those vines will often change color. These picture tubes are made from vines that have already turned to a pink or orange color due to the season.

You get tall vines that you can use to cover a whole section, but you can also use the individual pieces to create your own vines, in the shape you want (if you want to follow a different path).

Get these tubes in the store: Vines 2

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you could use a vine in a project other than for a background (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sampler, I created a large frame, covered it with chicken wire (from the Chicken Wire tubes) and added some vines, and some clothespins to hold some photos. These photos are showing as a mask group so you won't have to do any cutout of your photo to place it in the frame.

New script – Admission Tickets 2

August 12, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create your own admission ticket (or other types of tickets) with this script. You get various options to incorporate into the making of it, including colors, text, fonts, texture and design.

You can create a single ticket or a series of up to six (just like you get at the carnival). Customize the tickets with various designs in the small boxes or leave them empty and you can punch holes in them (like for each visit, each coffee, etc.)

New script – Fabric Patch

August 5, 2022 by Cassel

Now, you can turn any vector shape into one of 8 fabric textures. The script will use the color you started with and will blend in the texture. You can create titles with it, frames, mats, cluster elements, etc.

The script will add stitching around the edge (you decide how close to the edge you want it and its color), and you can also have a frayed edge along the whole border. The stitching and the frayed edge will be left unmerged at the end, so you can tweak them, or remove them, or even use them separately somewhere else.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you could use those fabric patches in a project (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sample, I created some random patches in different basic colors. Use them as you wish. They are about 700 pixels in width and in png format.

New tubes – Netting C

July 29, 2022July 29, 2022 by Cassel

To create a nautical project, using netting is a common element. Recently, we had some netting picture tubes that you could use to embellish your project. This time around, the netting is variegated, giving the whole project a different look.

You get 10 different colors of picture tubes and they are seamless so if you need a net that is taller than 700 pixels, simply duplicate your layer and move it to align it up or down.

Get them in the store: Netting C

(and yes, the Netting B is missing; I was working on another set, but chose to change to a variegated set for now. Don't worry, the Netting B will be released, in the future)

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what projects could you make with these tubes (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sampler, I created a wood frame (using a script) and added three layers of netting. I distorted them irregularly, and deleted what was extending outside of the frame. I then added some seashells from the 2019 picture tubes.

New script – Travel Tag 1

July 22, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create a custom tag, with the colors from your palette, or even with some interesting patterns, and include details of your choice. Although these tags would typically be associated with travel (like a location, an airport code, etc.), you can use them for any occasion since you can choose any text you want.

Once the tag is done, tie it with a string to another element, or include it in a cluster.

Get this script in the store: Travel Tag 1

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what occasions, other than traveling, could be used for these tags (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For this week, the samples I made were run through the script, but I stopped it before the final merge, which allowed me to remove some of the text. This helps create "blanks" that you can fill however you need.

New script – Doppler

July 15, 2022 by Cassel

The Doppler effect is that difference in sound you hear when a vehicle runs in your direction, and then away from you. It is a sort of echo of the soundwave.

This script will create that "wave" on top or on the bottom of any text you provide. You can use a solid color, a gradient or even a pattern. In the end, the main text and the "echo" will be on separate layers so you can apply different effects to it, separately.

Get it in the store: Doppler

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use this effect (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

As a sample, I ran the script on individual digits starting with a black text. This will allow you to colorize the elements to match your project. To maintain the transparency on these digits while adding color, lock the transparency of the layer, fill with the material you want, and unlock the transparency.

New script – Ice Cream

July 8, 2022 by Cassel

What is more refreshing than a delicious ice cream treat during those hot summer months?

This script will convert any shape into a calorie-free ice cream treat. You can choose any flavor (even if they don't exist). You can add ripples in a different flavor. Then, you choose what coating you want, what texture it will be. You can even have it melting a bit if it is really hot. Then, if you want to be fancier, you can add sprinkles or crushed nuts on top. Hum...

Get it in the store: Ice Cream

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what flavor combination you would like to create (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sampler, I created three treats for you using the July Blog Train color palette from DigitalScrapbook.

New Script – Chevrons 3

July 1, 2022 by Cassel

These chevron patterns can be that additional effect you want in a paper. You can choose to use any color palette, whether it is bright, contrasting, pastel or monochrome.

The script will cover any active image with a layer and the pattern. You can then add a solid background layer in the color you want to enhance the design.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would create a chevron pattern (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sampler, I ran the script on a full-size paper (3600x3600 px) and chose option 3 for the chevron pattern. I picked the color palette from the July Blog Train at DigitalScrapbook. You get one paper with a white outline and one with a black outline.

New tubes – Netting

June 17, 2022 by Cassel

Whether you want to create a nautical project or find a way to have a different type of background, you can use these picture tubes. They are completely seamless so you can juxtapose them on top of each other to make a tall net. Then, you can use the Warp Mesh, or the Deformation map to give some movement to the net. Finally, add elements to your page, whether they are beach elements or photos you will attach with clothespins.

Get these tubes: Netting

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use such picture tubes (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sampler, I created a full-size 3600x3600 image with a neutral color netting. You can erase some parts, you can use the Warp Brush, or Deformation map to make waves, etc. It is a png format so you can add whatever background you want, or even thread ribbons, vines or other elements through the mesh.

New script – Beads Maker 3

June 10, 2022 by Cassel

You can now create as many beads as you want to perfectly match your project, and in a short time.

You can pick up to 10 colors and the script will combine them to create gradients that will be unique to each bead. Generate up to 25 beads per run of the script. Keep the ones you like, discard the others. Use those beads to embellish alphas, frames, tags, or string them together (just make sure you don't rotate them too much or the light spot will become inconsistent with the rest of your project).

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have used the other two Beads Maker scripts (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sampler, I used the color palette from the June Blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com and created 15 beads. Each bead is 200 pixels in diameter. You can collect other supplies in the Blog Train in this thread.
