New script – Beads Art

January 14, 2021June 2, 2017 by Cassel

It can be fun to convert a simple clipart into a beaded element to add to a themed layout. You can do that with this script which will convert ANY image into a set of beads, all fused together.

Although you can use a full image or a photo, you will get more drastic results with brightly colored clipart or designs. Also, make sure you don't have fine lines like thin legs, antenna, hair, stems, etc. because they will just disappear. If necessary, remove those fine elements and just add them afterward, to the beaded result.

For a little taste of summer (at least for the Northern Hemisphere), I made these 4 adorable critters in beads art for you. Each of them is about 1000 pixels in size so you can easily size them down to suit your layout.

Now you can get just that with this script as it will turn any shape into a grilled burger. With the randomness integrated into the code, you will always get a different burger with every run of the script, even with the same starting shape.

New script – Datestamp #5

You can choose any color, any font, and any text. Since everything is left in unmerged layers, you can even change the colors of some elements, or add various designs in the center.

A great addition to all the other datestamp scripts available in the store.

New script – Slot Machine Alpha

January 14, 2021May 13, 2017 by Cassel

This script will let you write name, titles, quotes or dates as if you were playing slot machines. It could also resemble those clock displays that rotate. Whatever effect you want to get, you can create it with this script.

You can write anything you want, using any font you want. The script will calculate the maximum width needed for any particular font (you know how the W tend to be quite wide!). You can choose any color, light on dark or dark on light. The script will also add some cutout so you can use these display on any paper without having to actually cut them out.

New tubes – Chicken Wire

January 14, 2021May 6, 2017 by Cassel

If you want to create a rustic design, either as a background or an element, chicken wires might give you just that look.

You can use ready-made chicken wire pictures or vector designs, but here is a great tube that you can shape however you want, with just a draw of your cursor. Make it straight or not so straight, depending on what you want.

You get 12 different "colors" of wires with this set, so you can be even more creative than with regular ordinary wire.

Get this set in the store: Chicken Wire tubes.

In order to win this set of tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us of one creative way you can think to use chicken wires in a digital 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 sampler, i created this frame (using the Wooden Frame script) and added some wires behind it. I thought that you could possibly add some clothespins and attach various photos or objects, but you could also have a photo placed behind, or even cut the wires and make it even more "rustic".

It is a png format so it could be used in various graphic programs.

New script – Ribbon Factory

January 18, 2021April 29, 2017 by Cassel

Do you like to use ribbons in your projects? Straight ribbons are easy to find, right? Not always. In fact, it is possible to get some greyscale ribbons and colorize them to match your project, but some colors are quite hard to get right (like the yellows). In addition, the ribbons you get would always be the exact same kind, with the same size, same shape, same light/dark areas, etc.

This script was requested by DeLoris who wanted some simple basic ribbons but with the ability to create several of them at once. I just thought it would be best to also add some randomization so that each ribbon created will be slightly different from the next one, even if you are using the same color palette.

You can generate up to 20 ribbons with a single run of the script. You can choose the thickness of the ribbons, from 100 to 300 pixels. Each ribbon will be 4000 pixels so you will be able to use them across your page, even at an angle!

I went a little crazy with the freebie, this week. I found a fun color palette that seemed nice for a spring theme (sorry for our Aussie friends who are heading toward winter, but spring will be back in 6 months!).

I created 25 ribbons for you, using the different colors, different size, and the script generated all those ribbons (that makes for an unusually large file).

They are all 4000 pixels long so you can use them in many ways.

New script – Tape Frame

January 18, 2021April 15, 2017 by Cassel

Although you might like to have an even frame make of straight ribbons, sometimes, you might want something a little less "clean", and if you worked with sticky tape, scotch tape, washi tape and such, you know that you MIGHT, occasionally have some unevenness to them.

This script will use with any straight "tape" and will create an uneven frame based on the dimension of the photo you want to frame.

Each length of tape will be randomly measured, and the folds will also be random. This allows you to run the same script and generate completely different frames every time. Furthermore, you end up with unmerged pieces so you can easily reuse them later.

Get this script in the store: Tape Frame

To let you "play" with this frame, i created another one using the same tape as in the initial preview. I tweaked the shadows on the ends and included those shadows in the download. Each piece of tape is left on a separate layer (with its own shadow) so you can adjust the size of the frame. It has been made for a 7x5 photo, but if you want to use it on a smaller picture, you can just move the pieces inward.

New script – Honeycombs

January 15, 2021April 1, 2017 by Cassel

Have you ever tried to make a seamless honeycomb pattern? It is a bit challenging because you can't create a square tile that will be seamless. It has to be rectangular, and with the various color combinations, the rectangle can't always be the same size. That is a headache, and that is probably many people wanting a honeycomb pattern had to rely on pre-made templates. But that is still limiting, don't you think?

That is why I created this script. In fact, it was a real challenge in itself to code the script since everything we "think" and "see", has to be coded in mathematical formula. And the math is quite different from what is involved in a triangle or a square! In any case, i had to ask my son to help me with that math AND we had to use Google to confirm it. However, PSP had some little quirks that prevented me from using the straightforward calculations. Go figure!

But in the end, you get a script that will create a full page of honeycombs in various color patterns. You can have the individual hexagons in alternating colors (by row or by column) or you can have them randomly selected. But there is more : you can have a gradient (of any kind) drawn as a base and the honeycombs would pick the color of each individual location to make some very interesting effects.

Get this script in the store: Honeycombs

Here are some more samples done with this script:

As a sample of what this script can do, I started with a palette of 3 spring colors: yellow, pink and purple, and generated four fun patterns for you. They are full size papers so you can cut them out, use them as frames, or just as a background for your next spring theme project.

New script – Custom Slats

January 18, 2021March 25, 2017 by Cassel

Using slats to showcase a photo makes for a fun and unique effect. However, creating slats manually is tedious, especially if you want them even or following a particular outline.

Using ready-made templates might work, but it might not suit your project, or your photo. Maybe half of the cat would be cut off, or the sun from the sunset, etc.

This script will allow you to create the outline, with the brush tool, or use a preset shape if you want. You also have several other options to customize your slats.

Get this script in the store: Custom Slats

As a way for you to play around with slats (in case you never tried before), I made a large template (about 3000 pixels wide). It is in png format so you can probably use it in most graphic programs.
