Wishlist

by

wish

Did you ever browse through my store and thought of this product or that product or maybe that other one that you wish you could get but you need to wait a little?

Now, you can create your own wishlist among the products in my store. Once you have a wishlist, you can refer to it when you suddenly are richer (yeah, we can wish, can’t we?) or when there is a sale.

Just go over to my store, browse as much as you want, and just “Add to my wishlist” on any element that you would like. I will keep an eye on your lists and the content of everyone’s wishlist might help me determine what kind of products i should add to the store, what types of product i might want to put on sale sometimes, and you never know… customers with a real interest in my store, setting up their wishlist might also get some … surprises! So go ahead, and create your wishlist.

New tubes – Zip it All Up

by

cass-ZipperSet1

If you like to use zippers and can never find the right length, shape, format, then you will be in luck because this is a set of TUBES. And you know what tubes can do: you can draw with them wherever you want. That means that using them, you can draw any length of zipper, and even have them curved in the fanciest way you want. This contains 4 set of zippers. Each set has 3 tubes (closed teeth, left teeth and right teeth), a layered closure and matching pull. It is up to you to use the pull that is included, or create your own, since the closure is layered and you can insert anything in-between.

These are available in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrap Warehouse.

Do you want a chance to win this whole set? Go add your name to this RAK thread in the DST Forum. Don’t forget to give me ideas on how one could use zippers in a scrap page.

 

cass-Zipper1Sample Now, you might want to play with one zipper and see what you can do with that? Here is your chance as i have this 3000 pixels long sample for you. It does include shadows as the element was pretty layered. Hopefully you can find some use for it?

New product – School Theme Text Path

by

cass-PathSchool

Do you have some school related layouts to do? Would you like to add some journalling within particular school related shapes? Now you can do it with these text paths. You can use them on their own, using the detailed instructions included, or you can use them with the Text Wrapping script that will do most of the work for you (of course, YOU still have to compose the text!)

You get 12 paths with matching shape templates. You can keep the lines or hide them. You can use the templates to add some contrasting papers or create an outline. Or you can simply not use them at all.

They are available in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrap Warehouse.

And for a chance to win this set, go add your name to the RAK thread at DST. You still have until Monday night to add your name.

Nadine has played with some of those shapes and did this lovely layout using the globe shape/path. Isn’t that gorgeous? She used Merkeley Designs' Hey Lady and It's Pink.

New script – JPG Bleed

by

cass-JPGBleed

If you ever wanted to print your layouts either for individual pages or in a photo book, you needed to know how to add some “extra” margin around your design. Have you ever wondered why printers will ask you to add some margin, just to trim them after? To put it simply, it is too hard to be perfectly exact when trimming the paper, and if the cutter is just a few pixels short of the edge, you will get a tiny unsightly white line along that border. Having the paper or the design wider where the printer can cut in, will make sure that there is no such white line. But what if you dont add such a margin (called “bleed”)? The risk is that it will trim INSIDE your margin and you MIGHT loose some details if they are on the edge (like fine borders, journaling, etc.).

All that to tell you why it is important to have a bleed around your pages before you send to print. But what if you did your whole layout, and forgot to add the bleed? If you still have the layered file, it should be fairly easy to enlarge the background paper while leaving the more meaningful details intact. But what if you do not have those layered formats, for whatever reason? This script will take any jpg image and add a margin around it, in matching colors. You even have the option to choose different margin for each side so that you can match the specifications required by any printing service.

Someone mentioned that she had made paper scrap pages and photographed them. Of course, this will give only a flattened image, with no margin. This script would be perfect for her, dont you think?

This script is available in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

If you want a chance to win this script, just go add your name to the RAK thread at DST and tell me why you need this script. I will draw for a winner Monday night.

Twisted Ropes – Picture tubes

by

cass-TwistedRopes

This is my third set of Rope tubes. If you are a regular PSP user, you know that directional tubes will allow you to literally “draw” wherever you want, however long you want. Just doodle with the tube and you will get a rope along the way. You get 10 different types of twisted ropes, mostly neutral kinds.

These tubes work with PSP 8 and up.

They are available in my store: Creation Cassel.

 

 

 

 

 

cass-TwistedRopes-samples And here is your free sample. This set includes 3 PSD layered files with shadows in separate layers if you want to use them. They were all made with the Twisted Rope tubes.

You will get one tag tie, one bow and one star frame.

New paths – basic shapes

by

cass-BasicShapePath-narrowcass-BasicShapePath-wide

 

Last week, i released a script that allowed you to write within the boundaries of a preset shape, but this week, i am providing you with two sets of such preset shapes. The templates are identical, but the path has wider or narrower spacing and you can choose either one, depending on whether you have a lot to say or less. Although the Text Wrapping script is only working for PSP 9 and up, these path can be used starting with PSP8. They can be used with the script (if you have PSP9 and up) but they also work on their own, if you follow the detailed directions included. It is a bit more tedious, but at least, you CAN do it now, unlike before, since PSP does not have that feature available on its own.

Each set includes 12 layered templates: one layer is just a template that you can use or not (that is your option), and the other layer has a Path object that you will use to type your text on so it stays inside the boundaries. You do not have to start at the very top either. If you decide, say, to start on the third line, and use only the bottom part of the path, it is fine. You can also resize the path/template if you find it too big (they are all about 3000 pixels in height), or stretch/narrow it if you find it too narrow/wide for your need. (just make sure you do not flip it or mirror it as you will get pretty odd results!)

These sets are available in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win those, check the Happy Place at DST and add your name to the thread. I will draw for a winner on Monday night.
