New script – Triangles 2

July 26, 2019 by Cassel

Although it is fairly easy to create this type of patterns with triangles, it is also quite time-consuming and could require a great deal of precision too.

That is why using this script will be a fantastic time-saver (and sanity-saver too) as it will do all the calculation needed and will always perfectly align all the triangles while picking them at random.

As a sampler, I created a full-size paper with primary colors (plus green which always seem to be "missing" from the three primary colors). This paper is saved in .png format so you can add another color underneath to get very different results. You can also adjust the brightness or the saturation for another option of changing the colors.

New script – Starburst 2

July 19, 2019 by Cassel

Creating a starburst pattern manually is easy but time-consuming but sometimes, that is what we want: distinct rays instead of the smooth gradient.

This script will turn ANY gradient into a number of distinct rays. You choose the gradient. You choose the number of repeats. You choose the location of the focus point. And you choose how many rays you want to create. Each run will result in a full-size paper of 3600x3600 pixels which you can easily resize as needed.

As a sampler, I created three full-size papers with some summer-y color gradients. You get three starburst papers and three matching gradients papers.

New script – Zigzag Ribbon

July 12, 2019 by Cassel

Using a straight ribbon and turning it into a zigzag with multiple folds can be a fun way to use the same ribbon in different ways on the same layout or to create consistency between several layouts in a project.

This script will take care of all the tedious tasks of measuring, cutting, rotating and aligning all the pieces to create a continuous zigzag ribbon element.

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 started with a very long ribbon (5000 pixels) that I painted with a gradient. I thought it would be fun to see the gradient through the various folds. I repeated the effect with a different gradient, so you end up with two zigzag, but also the matching straight ribbons so you can use them elsewhere on your project.

New script – Pizza

July 5, 2019 by Cassel

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore"

Now, it is your turn to have a pizza in the shape you want, whether it is a crescent moon, a heart, a star or any other shape.

With a choice of 4 crusts (parmesan, poppy seed, sesame seed and cheese) you can have a delicious pizza for your party related projects. In addition, various toppings are included in the zip file in Picture Tubes format so you can pick and choose which ones you want and how much you want too.

As a sampler, I am sharing that heart shape pizza, all dressed. This is to show you how I appreciate your continuous support.

And those toppings could also be added to your Hamburger.

New script – Little Bow

June 28, 2019 by Cassel

Who can say they have too many bows in their stash? Nobody! And these tiny bows are delicate and can be incorporated into just any project, cluster, or even on a photo itself.

You can generate little bows from any ribbon, but also from any paper, which makes this script very versatile: use it to create bows to go with your next kit or to create bows for your project using a paper you just created.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use "little bows" like these (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 generated a ton of little bows from papers from an old kit I had (Splashes of Sunshine from Bernadette Hunt). I liked the colors on the 4 papers. Since they were full size, I resized them to 2000x2000 to keep some of the brushes imprint visible on some of the bows. I generated many more but kept a dozen for you among those that had some interesting patterns to them.

New script – Points

June 21, 2019 by Cassel

Creating random shapes for one's project might be easy but the randomness, sometimes, is not as random as one would want simply because we tend to do things in similar ways over and over again. That is why this script can become a time saver as it will REALLY create random shapes for zigzags on separate layers and then, you pick and choose which ones you want to use and discard the rest. Easy!

You can then use those shapes as templates, for clusters, borders, frames, masks, etc.

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 used one of those shapes and overlayed it on a white layer. Once they were merged, I added a gaussian blur and now, that shape can be used as a mask.

New script – Gradients Library

June 14, 2019 by Cassel

If you want to view your gradients, looking at the little thumbnails in the Materials Palette is not the best way. But if you want, you can now make a larger image that you can even print, to display all the gradients in a specific folder. Make sure you read the instructions because you will have to edit your script before running it.

Get this script in the store: Gradients Library.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you tend to collect gradients over time (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sample, with summer coming, with the warmer weather, I thought you might like a set of fresh popsicles. This is made from the Wooden Puzzle 2 script, and all the pieces are grouped together, allowing you to move the whole set onto your next project. Once that is done, you can ungroup the pieces and move them around, individually.

New script – Slanted Slats

June 7, 2019 by Cassel

You can create slats at an angle, but it is tedious to measure all those pieces one by one.

With this script, you can complete the process in just a few seconds, and have options to set the number of slats, their angle, the gap between them, but also, you can have each piece on individual layers, have them all on a single layer, or even have them converted into a mask.

Lots of options offered with a single script.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you watched or attended the class on cutting photos creatively (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).

Since this script allows you to create a mask out of the settings you chose, I did just that. I started with a large, 3000x3000 black image, and created a layered mask file. You just have to add your photo and that's it. If you find that the mask is way too large, resize it before adding the photo. You can even resize it without keeping the proportions if your photo is rectangular and you don't want it square.

New script – Layered Cake

June 1, 2019June 1, 2019 by Cassel

Whether you have a birthday theme or other celebration, you might want to have a unique cake to add to your graphics project. But other than the traditional birthday cake, what do you have?

This script allows you to create a unique cake, in any shape, in any color, with infinite layering combinations.

In the end, the layers can be merged or left unmerged for you to tweak your baking even more.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what is your favorite cake flavor (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).

I baked all day to give you this delicious multi-layered rainbow cake, complete with colorful icing.

Once I created the cake with the various layers and icing, I created one last layer of icing that I moved on the top. I added some shading and to make the icing between the layers a bit irregular, I ran the Warp Brush along the edges, which gives a more realistic look. Then, adding a small shadow gives the impression of that icing oozing out of the layers.

New script – Datestamp #7

May 24, 2019 by Cassel

Datestamps can be used obviously to write a date but you can be creative and add something different like a location, a greeting, or a particular event.

This script allows you the versatility to choose any text, any color and any font.

As a sampler, I created four stamps for the seasons of 2019. They are in greyscale so you can colorize them to match your project.
