New script – Beads

February 26, 2017January 20, 2012 by Cassel

Do you sometimes wish you could have more beads to add to your projects? Maybe you have one or two but you want to have more and you cannot find any more? This script will let you create an infinity of beads based on anything you want. You can start the script with a photo, a paper, a texture, or simply a color palette (with up to 6 colors). The script will generate up to 25 different beads from that source. And yes, they will be different because of the random feature integrated in the script. The part of the image used will be different every time. You can also choose to have the definite pattern of a paper or a photo show on the bead, or have the colors more blended together for a softer look. And even if you run the script with the same source, and the same settings, you will never get the same result twice. Talk about having resources!

Once the beads are generated, you can delete those you dont want, save the ones you like (and if you have PSP9, you can even export them as a tube with the Auto-Tuber script that is included) so you can place them along a vector path or draw with them.

You can get this creative script in my store: Creation Cassel .

And why not try to win it. I have a draw in the Happy Place of the DST forum. Just check this thread and add your name to it. Everyone will get something, even if you are not a PSP user so do not hesitate.

cass-Beads-Gold-Samples How about a little Freebie now? I created these TWENTY beads for you. They are all in PNG format for all to use, but there is also a psptube file for Paintshop Pro users so they can “draw” with it.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

Each bead is 60 pixels wide and you can resize them down. With 20 different beads, it will surely look more “realistic” than the exact same bead repeated over and over again. Place them in the center for a flower, along the edge of a frame, in line to make some kind of “string”. What else could you do with that?

News from the Campus

The recording for the “Seamless Design in Paintshop Pro” webinar is now uploaded in the Campus. You can find it in the Webinars section. The written handout should be available soon.

Our next webinar will be held on Sunday February 5th, at 5pm Eastern time. We will look at using Layered templates with Paintshop Pro. Register below.

Since we have had several registrants in the past who got confused with the time of the presentation (due to the wide time zone differences), please check with this Time Zone Converter to figure out the time for YOUR zone. You can also follow the Campus on Twitter. I will make sure to tweet a countdown, like an hour before, 30 minutes before and so on. That way, it might help you pinpoint the actual time of the start of the presentation.

I know it is frustrating when one arrives one hour too late! We definitely don’t want you to miss it.

New script – Embossing Tape

September 1, 2018January 13, 2012 by Cassel

Are you old enough to remember those embossed plastic tapes commonly called Dymo Tapes? I used to use those on my covered books in school. I have also seen them used in storage, for inventories, on shelves, etc.

You can create your own with this script. Any text, any color for the tape, and even any font you want. And if you want it a little more realistic, you can get the characters slightly off-line.

You can get this script in either one of my store: Creation Cassel .

There is also a thread at DST forum where you can add your name (and answer the little question) for a chance to win it. Go right away and I’ll draw for a winner on Monday night.

cass-EmbossingTape-samples I am sure you wanted a freebie, right? You will be able to see a full size of three embossed tapes you can use on your layouts. What kind of layout will you do with that?

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

News from the Campus

Last week, we had the live presentation on Seamless Tiling with Paintshop Pro. Did you attend? We looked at ways to create a seamless design, either from a paper, from a png element, or even from a photo. If not, the recording should be up on the Campus this weekend, so keep an eye on it. Next webinar is expected to be on Sunday, February 5th, 2012. Do you have some topics you would like to see presented? Just email us.

The last tutorial that was added was the Zipper. We had one student who took that tutorial and made something so realistic that, at first, i thought it was a scanned zipper. See for yourself.

See you around in the Campus.

New script – Embossed

January 9, 2021January 6, 2012 by Cassel

Although there is an Embossing effect in PSP, i always felt it was not right. First off, it has light coming from a different angle from what i use and it usually was too bold so i decided to create a script to make different types of embossing.

This script will start with any design, pattern, image or text (choose black for best result). Then, simply run the script. Whether you have a paper beneath or not, it will not matter as the script will create an embossed “layer” that is separate from the paper, meaning you can modify it afterward, or even save it and use it on a different paper. How neat is that? You can use it for embossing a whole paper, a border, a tag, a strip of paper, etc.

In addition, the script offers you 3 types of embossing, from the bold one to the delicate one.

You can get this script in my store: Creation Cassel .

And of course, you have a chance to win this script in the Happy Place of the DST forum. Check out this thread where you can give me ideas on how embossing could be used in digital scrapbooking. Can you think of something innovative?

cass-Embossed-Samples And what about a little sampler of an embossed layer? Here are two samples. They will fit a photo or a mat about 7 x 5 inches. They are in PNG format, so you can use them in just about any graphic programs. And you can adjust them, blend them with a paper of a different color, resize them, etc.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

**********************

This week, i received a very nice email from Linda who had just purchased the ClipToIt script (released last week). She sent me a sample of her work (but i cannot share it here because we don’t have the credits). Here is her email:

Hi Cassel - I attached a template that I have never been able to use correctly until your new script "Clip To It", and my layout includes the bright yellow glow under the template using your Colored Edge Script and the blue tab is from your felt presets -

You have made scrapbooking so enjoyable - I just can't tell you enough how much I enjoy all your tools.

News from the Campus

I hope you had a great start of 2012. Some of you did take advantage of our Ready Set Go promotion for January and are now enjoying one of the two courses of the Campus. Glad to see you on board.

This Sunday, we will have our live presentation on Seamless patterns. Although there is a “tiling” effect in PSP, there are times when that effect does not do what you really want. Here is a section made seamless, and from scratch.

Date: January 8th, 2012

Time: 5PM Eastern time (GMT-5)

(notice that it is 2 hours later than usual;

hopefully our Australian colleagues will be able to attend)

Are you doing a Project 365 (or 366) this year? Do you want to know a little bit more about it? Check out last week’s article in the Campus Scrapping in the New Year – Project 365. There should be another article this weekend, along with a list of resources for you if you decide to take on that project. Are you starting one?

New script – Clip To It (and another script)

August 4, 2018December 30, 2011 by Cassel

If you have lots of photos you want to use in your scrapping, you will definitely love this script, as it will save you a TON of time. Usually, if you are using a template, you have to place the photo on your work, resize, move and rotate the photo approximately to match the space you want to use in the template. You might play with the opacity to give you an idea of how to center Aunt Lucy’s face in the space, and then, you have to select, change layer, trim, and maybe you end up not happy with the result. Did that ever happen to you? This script will save you all that trouble. Once you add the photo on the template, run the script and magically, the template layer changes to a mask layer, and the photo gets slipped underneath, so you can actually SEE through the mask. Not only that, but you can still move, resize, rotate the image while you clearly see what it will look like. No more guessing, no more undoing. And once you are happy with the result, simply merge the group and that is it!

If you are using PSP9 or above, you can even bind this script so the whole process will be literally ONE CLICK. What do you think of that?? You can grab this script in my store: Creation Cassel .

If you want a chance to win this script, go add your name to this thread in the Happy Place and tell me what is your biggest challenge when using templates for layouts. I will be back on Monday with the name of a winner.

Last week, i was discussing with another PSP user, who can code scripts. He showed me that he had tweaked and combined a couple of scripts from Corel so that you can open an image (or photo, element or paper), copy it, paste it as a new layer on your project, and close the initial file, all that in one run of a script. I thought it was a super idea. I then decided to tweak it myself too, so that the new layer will be renamed according to the filename of the image that was opened. And again, if you bind the script, you can do that as easily as choosing Open… command. Since this is NOT my script, i asked LeviFiction for the permission to distribute it in my store (until he has his own site up and running). Can you imagine the time you will save using this FREE script (calledOpenAsLayer) and theClipToIt script? You can create layouts using templates in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it the usual way.

But that is not all. Remember when you wanted to take note of all the products you used to list the credits? I have a script called Credit List Compilation. It will assume that you renamed all the layers according to the element you used. And it assumed that you did that manually. Now, you don’t have to do anything manually as this script will just do that for you! WOW!!!!

This script is only available in my personal store: Creation Cassel.

cass-WordAlbum-2011 I am sure some non-PSP users are anxious to grab a free sample from here, and the free script is really no use for them, so i decided, since it is the end of the 2011 year, that you might want to create another album to combine some photos from this last year. I had a similar album last year and i have to say that it was very popular!

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

I didn’t set up a pay-with-a-tweet or such, but i sure would appreciate it if you did tweet or post on FB about this.

Why not make a summary of your kids’ year, and repeat the same tradition every year. Imagine the nice collection they will have in the future!

News from the Campus

Did you take lots of pictures during the holiday season? Do you plan on making lots of layouts in 2012? Do you want to start digital scrapbooking with PSP? or maybe, in 2012, you want to start creating some elements yourself, or at least add a little touch of YOURSELF instead of only relying on the kits made by others? You are in luck. If you keep an eye on the Campus, you will hear of a special promotion that will start on January 1st. Don’t blink because this promotion will ONLY last for 5 days (from January 1st to 5th). You will have a special price for the Basic Scrap course, and a special price for the Element Creation tutorials section.

Do you wonder what you can find in the Element Creation Tutorials? Keep your eyes open as there will be a super special secret sneak peak (that is a tongue twister, isn’t it?). What will it be? Well, if i told you, it would not be a secret, would it? So you will have to keep checking the Campus pages or even better, join the mailing list so you can get the news as soon as it is out!

The next webinar will be held on January 8th, but this time, it will be 2 hours later than usual. Why? so we can offer a more reasonable time to our Aussie friends. I hope they will be able to make it. This month, we will look at different ways to create seamless designs, whether you want to use a particular paper or image on your blog and make it seamless as you scroll down, or if you want to create a paper pattern from scratch (and there is more to come too).

New script – Subway Art

December 21, 2019December 16, 2011 by Cassel

Did you ever see those posters or other types of wordart using that kind of varied fonts and even width? Did you ever try to do it yourself? It is fairly easy, but tedious. And choosing random fonts yourself is never that simple. So this script will help you do it in just a few seconds. Once the script is edited to include the fonts YOU have on your computer, you simply have to type in your text, run the script and follow the prompts.

You can include ANY font you have on your computer, and once you have edited the script with them, you don’t have to do it again. You can list as many fonts as you want, and the script will randomly pick them for you. This also means that you can run the script 10 times, and get 10 different results.

Then, you can choose any solid color, gradient, or pattern or any combination of the three. Try with a single gradient, or two opposite ones, or combine a gradient with a matching or contrasting solid color. Just about anything goes. And once the script is done, you have UNMERGED vector layers. That means that you have all the liberty to do any type of edition, whether it is changing a color, changing a font, changing the text or even resizing the text to insert different elements to the design.

You can get this script in either of my store: Creation Cassel .

And this week, there is a RAK thread in the Happy Place, but there is a difference: EVERYONE who will post in the thread with a phrase about Christmas will get a present, whether you are a PSP user or not, so don’t be shy. Go post and add your name.

cass-SubwayArt-sample-Christmas As a sample, this week, i will give you this Merry Christmas wordart where i picked various ways to say “Merry Christmas” in different languages and ran the script on it (i do not know all those languages, so i relied on Google to help me; i hope there is not mistake).

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

This is a PNG format, 3600 pixels high. You can resize it to make a Christmas bookmark, or “stamp” it on the edge of a holiday layout. Your choice.

News from the Campus

Last week, we added the simple polka dot tutorial, but although it is a simple one, it is also very versatile as you can do more than dots!

Did you have a chance to view the recording of the webinar on details added to a night time photo? Some of the participants seemed to have enjoyed it a LOT. See what Misty did following that webinar.

What do you think? Isn’t this great? You can view the recording in this section, HERE. What would you like to see as our January webinar? I have a couple of ideas, but i would like it to be what YOU want to see. Just let us know.

See you in the Campus.

New script – Word Edge Half Cut

September 1, 2018December 9, 2011 by Cassel

Although you might be able to cut out text along the edge of your photos, the script will make the whole process much faster, easier and more accurate every time. And you have so many options to choose from that you can run the script many, many times and get different result every time. You get to choose the text, the font, the edge to cut from, the alignment, and you even have the option to rotate, change size, skew, stretch the text to your liking.

You can run this script directly on your photo and the script will automatically create a duplicate so the initial photo will be left totally intact. You can also run the script on a paper to create a journaling mat, or turn this into a frame. This might be especially good if you have a photo where no edge can really be cut out from.

You can grab this script in my store: Creation Cassel .

And if you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the Happy Place and add your name to it, giving me suggestions on what set of words you can envision for a template pack.

cass-WordEdgeHalfCut-samples Of course, you surely will want to see the end result up close. So i made these 2 templates. Use them to trim a photo, or to journal about this year, or to frame fun photos.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

And if you use those for a project of yours, i would LOVE to see it. Who knows? It might get displayed in this blog or in my newsletter.

Although i am not using the Pay-with-a-Tweet, i would really appreciate it if you did tweet about it anyways!

New script – Gift Card Box

August 4, 2018December 2, 2011 by Cassel

Last week, i downloaded a box template from one of those craft sites, and i printed it out, cut the piece and folded it. I realized that although it was a nice box, it would not fit something i had on my desk: a gift card. So that got me thinking that i would need a different format. And while checking out the measurements, i also noticed that all gift cards were not the same size so why not make a script that would take the needed dimensions and create the template of the correct size. Then, why not add a fun closure but something for the user to choose: ANY design! And that is how this script came to be. For this holiday season, you can create a seasonal design, use your favorite papers, and have fun. Since the script is totally customizable, you can decorate the box to your liking with whatever digital supplies you have and even with paper scrapping supplies. Add glitters, stamps, inking, alphas, anything you have on hand. Use a simple closure design, like a heart or a diamond, or something more intricate, like a detailed flower. It is your choice. The script will create a template in three layers: the outline that you can use on the reverse of patterned papers, the shape template that you can use to fill with your digital papers, and the closure in case you want to cut it separately to glue on your patterned paper. You can print one or all the layers. The maximum size will fit a printing area of 8 x 10 inches, so it should allow you to print right at home!

You can grab this script and make many different gift boxes, in my store: Creation Cassel .

cass-GiftCardBox-sample And how about a chance to win it? There is a thread in the DST forum where you can tell me how you wrap gift cards. I will come back on Monday night with a winner.

And of course, i am sure you would love to get your hand on this poinsettia gift card box. It is a layered template in PSD format so you can use it in just about any program.

New script – Ribbon Tag Border

August 4, 2018November 25, 2011 by Cassel

Placing one or two ribbons on a layout is pretty easy. Cutting a dozen pieces of ribbons to place on a layout or to create a cluster is starting to be a bit more tedious. But how about doing the same thing with 35 pieces? That is getting long, and possibly a task you wont even want to consider. But with this script, you will be able to do that, in less than ONE MINUTE. Oh yes, it might even take you as little as 30 seconds (although you might take longer to just pick and choose with ribbons to use for the script!). So, now that you have Paintshop Pro, you can save a LOT of time with this script. You can use ANY ribbon you have in your stash. You will not be limited to choosing the colors to create individual ribbons that will always look the same. Use your grosgrain ribbon, your ricrac ribbon, your lace ribbon, your organza ribbon, your twill ribbon. Anything can be used. The script will do the trimming and all that, but the best is that it will work “randomly”, choosing the ribbons, cutting and trimming, pasting and rotating the pieces all differently from one run to the other. So you will NEVER get the exact same result twice. NEVER.

If you like the look of a bunch of little pieces of ribbons stitched, staples, or glued to a page, this is perfect. If you like the look of little pieces of ribbons peaking out of a paper, a frame, or an image, this is also perfect. And if, in the end, you don’t like the ribbons all lined up, but would love to have a bunch of little pieces to play with, to twist, to make into clusters, that is fine too because all the pieces are left on separate layers so you can play with them all night if you want!

You can find this time saving script in my store: Creation Cassel.

But as usual, i also have a giveaway in the DST forum. You can check outthis thread and add your name with an idea on how you would use this script if you won it (or if you choose to buy it). I will be back on Monday with the name of a winner.

cass-RibbonTagBorder-sampler01

I know, you are waiting for your free sample, right? I created this 3600 pixels wide border using some of Wendy Page’s ribbons. I only chose 3 of them, ran the script, added the shadows on separate layers (the script prompted me to), but then, I added a stitching and played with the separate shadows to make this border more “alive” with some ribbons being lifted off the stitching. The whole set of ribbons is on ONE layer and the stitching is on a separate one. Maybe you will want to add your own stitching? or some staples? or other fasteners? If so, just use the stitching line as a guide and then hide it or delete it.

This week, no Pay-with-a-Tweet, but of course, you are more than allowed to tweet or post about it on Facebook. I would always appreciate the visibility, especially if some of your friends are using PSP (or considering using it) and don’t know my store and my products!

News from the Scrapbook Campus

Last week, one student of the Campus sent me a sample she had made using the Tulle Lace tutorial (from the Element Creation tutorials section). I HAD to share. With Judy’s permission, see what she did:

I thought it was GORGEOUS! What do you think? The techniques in the tutorials are explained as basically as possible but you can see that there is much much more than the basic that can be done! Here is what another student said about the Campus:

As for the campus - WOW - what can I say? I'm having such a GREAT time, its not only learning the specific tasks, but also gaining the confidence to play around more with the controls on other projects. I suppose my main problem is that I'm still quite ignorant about how all the effects etc work, which is why I find it all so exciting - I'm like a kid let loose in the sweetie shop. I 'made' some ric rac trim at the weekend, and I was jumping around the kitchen feeling really pleased with myself......sad or what? Who cares, I'm having fun.
Best regards,
Sue

Do you want to join us?

Are you a digital scrapper? There is also an article on the main page about 10 Common Mistakes in Digital Scrapbooking. Although the “mistakes” mentioned there are not always absolute, they can at least give you some things to think about when you are using digital medium to create your pages. There are lots of effects that can make or break a layout if you are not paying attention to them. Although rules are meant to be broken (so i heard), breaking them accidentally will often give an odd look to a layout without it being obvious. Just check those mistakes, and look at your layouts. Maybe you already know how to avoid them? Maybe you never thought of them? Maybe you’ll go “Ah-ah! that is why it looked “weird”.

Finally, if you have been thinking of getting your hand on a copy of PSPX4, there is a fantastic promotion at Corel until Nov 30th only : you can get the PSP X4 or the Ultimate version for a “steal”.

Paintshop Pro X4 for $29.99

Paintshop Pro X4 Ultimate for $39.99 (and this adds many extra goodies, including the NIK Efex Pro 3.0 photo filters which detail for $100 on their own; if you don’t believe me, just google it!)

A little detail i need to tell you: this deal is only for North America BUT, there’s nothing stopping someone from purchasing an extra copy for themselves and giving it as a “gift” (do you have a “friend” in Canada/US ?)

New script – Close-up

February 26, 2017November 19, 2011 by Cassel

Are you a designer struggling to create previews? Are you a scrapper who loves to emphasize on details of photos? Either way, you will love this script. I have often seen designers add a close-up of their products to show the quality of the extractions, the texture of the paper or the details in a design. I have done it myself too. However, I found that often, i wanted a consistent look from preview to preview and that was not as easy as it seemed. This script will help you make those close-ups very quickly, and consistently. You can choose between 3 preset shapes, but you can also use your own (why not try with a star shape? or an arrow?). You can also choose the size of your close-up. Some designers like to have the whole thumbnail on the preview, while others are using quarter circles only. Depending on your own preferences, you can set the close-up thumbnail to be always the exact same size. And furthermore, you can decide on the color of the outline, so you can match your own preview, or the kit swatch. And it will work on a single layer or a multiple layer element without the need to merge anything. In fact, the original file will not even be touched.

Are you a scrapper? Think of those little details you might want to show in your layout, while maybe making a kind of mosaic of it. Have your Christmas tree photo and close-ups of the special decorations hanging in it. Or how about a close up of the tiny fingers and toes of your child (or grandchild)? Those can be soooooo cute!

You can get this great tool in my store: Creation Cassel.

And you can surely add your name to this thread in the forum for a chance to win this script. I would certainly love to see how creatively you can use it.

cass-RibbonTagFlower-Sampler3 Obviously, this week, i cannot give you a sample of the end result from this script since it is really just a tool script, so since i got a great response for the samples of last week, i decided to offer you another ribbon tab flower. They are so fun to make!

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

Last week, i tried the Pay-with-a-Tweet function and it didn’t work very well as it said it could connect you to Facebook while it didn’t. I have now edited last week’s post and the Pay-with-a-Tweet button has been changed. From what i have seen, it does work better than the previous one so if you want to grab those other three ribbon tag flowers, just go ahead and pay with a Tweet or a Facebook post.

News from the Campus

Last week, the added tutorial was the Tulle Lace. Can you think of any such delicate elements you can create with this technique?

New script – Ribbon Tag Flower

February 26, 2017November 11, 2011 by Cassel

What do you do with your ribbons? Did you ever think of cutting some random pieces and place them into a flower shape? This is a fun twist to using ribbons, but it can be a bit tedious. That is, if you do it all manually. This new script for Paintshop Pro will let you create such a flower in less than one minute. This is a perfect tool to create an additional element for your kit, or to embellish your layout. Use ANY ribbon you have on hand, of any size, in any number. The script will randomly choose one ribbon at the time, and trim a piece of a random length and shape. Each flower can have a different number of pieces too. Basically, you can run this script hundreds of times and always get a different result.

The script will also allow you to add shadows to all the pieces if you want, and with the settings you want. And if you want even more choices, the script will give you the option to keep creating new flowers with the same ribbons, over and over again. Create 1 flower, or 10, or 50. Finish with your choice of fastener: staples, buttons, paperclips, stitching, etc.

You can get this fun script in either of my store: Creation Cassel .

cass-RibbonTagFlower-Sampler1 But i am sure you would like to have this script for free, right? You have this option if you add your name to this thread in the DST forum. I will be back on Monday with a winner.

As usual, i will also give you the option to download a sample of what this script can do. In fact, i will give you the option to grab more than one sampler.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

This flower is fairly small, as it is about 500 pixels in size.

But here is the novelty: there is a second download available for you, which includes 3 full size ribbon flowers. They are much larger so you can adjust the size to fit your need. However, this one has a little twist to it: you have to pay with a tweet or a Facebook post to get it. Not too demanding? Check it out here:

News from the Campus

Did you register for the Webinar for last week? Did you miss it? I know in our area, we had to turn the clocks back one hour to go from Daylight Saving time to Normal time, and that seemed to have affected several participants who might or might not have the time change. After several requests and inquiries from registrants who missed it, i decided to present the webinar a second time, and this will be held this Saturday (yes, tomorrow). It will also be held at a different time to allow our Aussie friends to join (last time, they were likely all asleep). So, don’t delay. See what you will be able to do afterward.
