Icicle Light String tubes for Paintshop Pro You might have those lights, at home, to decorate your windows or your tree, but now, you can do the same with your digital projects (and no electric cost).

These are picture tubes that you can use to "draw" the strings wherever you want, and however long you want them.

You get a total of 32 strings!

New Brushes – Corner Punches D

January 12, 2021December 9, 2017 by Cassel

In traditional paper scrapbooking, there are tools that allow the user to punch the corners into intricate shapes. They are great if you want to use the same size for all the projects you do. In digital scrapbooking (or card making), you now can use similar "punches" simply by using the eraser tool and those fancy "corner punches" shapes. This is the fourth set of those brushes.

Although they are meant to be used with the Eraser tool to cut out the shapes, you can also use them with the Brush tool to add a design instead of cutting it out, adding more versatility to these tools.

In order to win these punches, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what project/element you would create with those punches (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, this week, I created this fun frame (and matching template so you can use it with other colors/papers/effects).

I started with a square image filled with black. I punched the four corners but slightly inside of the edge to leave that "frame" corner. Then, I duplicated that layer and rotated it by 45 degrees, which gave the 8 "corners". Since the two layers overlapped some of the holes of the other layer, I erased the area on each layer that was covering the holes of the other one. Once merged, I cut out the circle shape in the center to make the template. After that, it was just a matter of playing with the color and bevelling.

You can do the same with different punches.

New script – Duotone Photos

January 12, 2021December 2, 2017 by Cassel

It might be simple to create a black and white photo with Paintshop Pro, and it is also easy to colorize that photo with one color, but how about using TWO colors? So, instead of light red and dark red, you would want yellow and red, or blue and purple, or blue and brown, or whatever color combinations you want to make a unique image?

This script allows you to choose ANY two colors and will transform any photo into a creative image. Choose colors to match a background or another image, or just make a collage with different variations.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what color combinations you would like to try on your photos (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 freebie, this week, I obviously could not give you a sample of the script since it is applicable only on your photos, so I thought you might want to showcase some photos in a holiday frame so I created one wooden frame using the Wood Frame script, and added some embellishments (branches, poinsetta, pine cones, ornaments and present). I also used the Christmas light tubes to finish off the decoration.

New script – Phrase Cutout

January 12, 2021November 17, 2017 by Cassel

Sometimes, you might want to showcase a word or a phrase in a unique way. Using a cutout is one of those original ways to add a title, a phrase, a greeting, etc.

This script will do all the repetitive tasks for you in just a few seconds. You have total control over what font you want to use, what word or phrase you want to write and what size you want your strips to be. The script takes care of the rest.

Although the strips will be black, you have the option to change their colors as you wish.

As a sample of what can be done with this script, I wrote two common phrases that you might want to use in the next few weeks. The strips are black (the colors are for the preview only) and about 300 pixels high and 4800 pixels long so you can place them in various ways on your project.

These files are in .pspimage format, so can ONLY be opened in Paintshop Pro.

New script – Paper Trees

January 12, 2021November 10, 2017 by Cassel

Creating paper trees might be a simple task but it still takes a bit of time when you have to open a paper, make a selection, copy it, paste it to another image and then, create another piece, slightly smaller and repeating the process piece by piece.

This script will speed up the process and while you can generate up to 10 trees at the time and you can choose to keep whichever you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what color OTHER than green, you would like to use to create a paper tree (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

To offer you a sample of what can be done with this script, I created 3 layered paper trees made from the kit Apple Crisp.

Each one is left with unmerged layers so you can tweak the placement of the pieces, rotate them, insert elements in-between, and more.

New script – Paper Butterflies

January 12, 2021November 3, 2017 by Cassel

If you need to have some butterflies on a project, you might be able to extract photos of realistic ones, but maybe you would prefer to have some that perfectly match your kit, or your project.

This script will take your chosen papers and create random butterflies from them. The shapes will be slightly different from one to the next.

Tweak the end layers, change the color of the body, rotate them, add shadows and tweak those too for a fun 3D effect.

For a sample, I ran the script using the Birthday kit from Marisa Lerin, and tweaked the resulting butterflies to give them some 3D looks, in addition to changing the color of the body and adding an inner bevel.

Each butterfly has unique shadows that are included. Each one is in .png format.

New script – Layered Flowers 2

January 13, 2021October 27, 2017 by Cassel

Did you have a peek at the Layered Flowers script from last week? You could create a set of layered circles, but this week, you can create a set of layered papers cut into various shapes with points. Although you can decide how many points each shape will have, the script will randomly create those shapes to give you a unique result every time.

Just like the previous script, you can choose any papers of your stash, the number of layers, the number of "flowers" and whether you want the script to add a drop shadow.

Perfect to create a fun accent to match your kit or your project. Add a button, a gem, a brad or a staple in the center to hold all those layers.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would use these "flowers" for (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 sample of this script, I used papers from the bundle Enchanting Autumn from Marisa Lerin. It includes a variety of "flowers" using different settings of the script: number of layers, number of points and regularity vs irregularities.

You get 10 flowers that you can use as is, or with the kit that you can get too.

New script – Layered Flowers

January 13, 2021October 20, 2017 by Cassel

If you had some traditional papers, you might want to cut out some circles and layer them to create a "flower" in the color of your kit or project. Doing that is tedious with paper, but also very tedious with digital ones.

With this script, it only takes you a few seconds to generate up to 10 different flowers from a series of papers of your choice. This is the perfect way to add an element that is a perfect match to your project. Add a staple, a button or any other decorative element in the center to "fasten" your flower to your project.

Get this script in the store: Layered Flowers

For a sampler, I ran the script with a few papers from a kit, Happy Birthday, from Marisa Lerin. You can get the whole kit for free, HERE.

Each flower is about 400 pixels wide and has 4 or 5 layers.

Since I used mostly basic color papers, these flowers can be quite versatile and usable in many projects.

New script – Scallop Pattern 3

January 12, 2021October 13, 2017 by Cassel

Scallops can be a fun design but other than getting a simple template that is a single color, you are limited in the options available. This script will allow you to create a variety of scallop outline patterns that will be either seamless or a full sheet of the size of your choice. Using that outline, you can add a background of any color, or even using a gradient.

This will give you many additional options to create custom designs for your projects or your kits.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what colors/color combination you would first create your scallop pattern (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 is October, you might plan either a Halloween party or expect to take some Halloween pictures. This set of two seamless scallop tile will be perfect to create your paper or background. Since they are in .png format, you can add a custom color behind it.

New script – Burnt Edge

January 12, 2021October 7, 2017 by Cassel

Do you need the look of burnt edges around a particular element but other than doing it yourself, it seems really hard to find the right shape, or the right font or the right size for your own element?

Yes, you can do it yourself but if you are in a hurry, the script can do it for you in just a few seconds. It can work on any shape (it does not have to be a vector), any size (although you get better results with elements < 2000 pixels), any color. And furthermore, you can run the script on the same element/shape multiple times and get different results for every run. A truly random result!

Get this script in the store: Burnt Edge

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what element would you "burn" with this script (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, this week, I created a few paper pieces that were run through the script. I created those shapes simply with the freehand selection tool to give them a random shape right from the start. Of course, the script would burn the edges but I wanted something a little different.

You can use those pieces for journaling or to draw something (like maybe a treasure map?).
