New script – Dimension

August 4, 2018June 24, 2011 by Cassel

How would you like to add some depth to any shape you want with Paintshop Pro? No need for a filter or outside tool: this script will give you many options so you can create a 3D element starting with any shape. You can use any shape, drawing, letter, words, in just about any size although tiny shapes will not work well. You will get 5 options for the edge color: the same color as the top, a lighter shade, a darker shade, a greyscale version or a totally different color. One particularity of this script is that it will give a “shaded” look on the edges, changing them slightly depending on how they face an imaginary light on the top left of the element (if your layout implies a light coming from a different source, just mirror or flip the element to match).

You can add a thickness as small as 10 pixels or as large as 100 pixels, and you can also have the extrusion in 8 different directions.

You can use this script to create many different elements, alphas, wordarts, and probably more.

Grab this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

Try running the script several times on the same shape, with different colors or different thickness. It can look like a layered jello or an ice cream sandwich! Or how about running it several times with different directions or alternating left and right and left and right!

If you want to give other suggestions for using this script, you will get a chance to win it. Just post in this thread at the DST forum. cass-Dimension-Digits

And how about this layered set of digits made using this script? With the blue, white and red, it can certainly match any American celebrations (July 4th) or our French cousins (July 14th) or Acadian friends (August 15th). This script will give you so many possibilities!

New script – Alpha Layer Stacker

August 4, 2018June 16, 2011 by Cassel

Last week, I released a script that would take layered alpha and create title or text in just a few seconds, but creating a layered alpha was still a tedious task you had to do by hand, especially if you had an alpha in individual files. Now, this script will do that tedious work for you. This script will retrieve all the similar files in a folder you will indicate and all the files will be layered. Since you will be asked to name each layer as it is created (either with a lowercase, an uppercase, a digit or a symbol), you will be certain that the Text Creator script will now work in just a few seconds. Once you have your layered alpha, simply save it in psp or psd format.

Designers, you might want to offer your alphas in single sheet, individual files, and now, in layered format. The PSP users will thank you for that!

You can get this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

As usual, there is one way you can enter a draw to win this script. Check out the RAK thread here, in the DST forum and simply add your name there, and answer the little question.

cass-WordAlbum-DAD This weekend, it is Father’s Day on this side of the Atlantic. I dont know about other countries, in Europe or in Australia. But if it is not the time to celebrate Father’s Day, you can still get ready for next time you want to thank a man in your life for what he brought. This layered “album” can be used to create a hybrid photo album, or, if only printed, cut out and glued on cardboard, it can make a great card where all the children or other people touched by that special man can write good wishes, kids can stamp their hand or doodle for a great memorabilia. The album is about 12 inches long on separate layers (you surely can resize if you want a smaller version).

As i am developing more and more content in the Campus for scrapbookers and PSP users, i want YOUR opinion on what you feel is really important for a “course” or a Campus. Please, go over this survey and answer the 3 short questions. I already got some great suggestions that i will implement so maybe your idea will be done too, who knows? If you have any PSP friends, share the link with them. More answers and suggestions will help get a better Campus for you.

New script – Knot #5

August 4, 2018May 27, 2011 by Cassel

Do you have some ribbons you would like to tie? Do you want to use the ends of the ribbon as if it were REALLY tied, instead of drawn? This script will do just that. This script for Paintshop Pro will use YOUR ribbon, and “use” pieces as if it were a real ribbon. If you use a ribbon with a gradient or a directional pattern, you will see the pattern follow the ribbon, through the knot and into the loose ends. Like most of the knot scripts in the store, it ends in unmerged layers so you can insert something in the knot for more customizability.

If you do not have a ribbon to use for this script, you can create one from scratch at the first prompt. You will then get a ribbed ribbon in the color of your choice.

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

You have a chance to win this script (or a future new release if you have purchased it already) in this RAK thread of the DST forum. To enter, simply tell me if you own any of my other knot scripts. And come back on Monday night to see who won.

cass-Knot5-sample

As usual, i made a sample for you to enjoy. You can grab this combo of a flat straight ribbon and matching knotted ribbon. Use them as is, or recolor them. Wrap the straight ribbon around a frame using the Quick Wrap script and add the knot to it if you want, or run the ribbon through any other knot script to add to your layout.

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

Now, this week i have a little something else to share with you. As i was doing some research for the Campus addressing the use of sketches or templates as a source of inspiration for digital scrap layouts, i came across a HUGE resource. I know that templates have become “in fashion” lately, but this book includes 500 sketches to jump start your inspiration. I LOVE templates, but i tend to use them most often as sketches instead of using the layered version, so seeing so many sketches in ONE file will definitely be a time saver too. And considering that you can always rotate, flip, mirror a sketch, you can get 2000 variations and then, you can add elements, subtract some, and replace others. If you are following that, you can get the equivalent of over 5000 starting point for your layouts. That is right, FIVE THOUSAND possible ideas. Now… you should not run out of ideas soon!

Just click on the preview to get it. You will adore it (i bought it too, and will be delighted to show you my pages!)

New Script – Quick Wrap

August 4, 2018May 20, 2011 by Cassel

Do you sometimes want to wrap an element with a ribbon for a dramatic look? To achieve that result, you probably do it the long way: cutting a piece of ribbon, copying, pasting, moving, rotating, trimming, shading and then, onto the next piece. If you want only a couple of pieces, it might be a reasonable process but if you want 10 pieces, or if you want to use 2 different ribbons, then, it can become very tedious. This script for Paintshop Pro, will go through that process in less than one minute for you.

With this script, you are not limited to use one kind of frame, or one kind of ribbon. You can use ANY element to be wrapped, be it a frame, a photo, a tag, and you can use ANY ribbon or lace you want, as long as it is the correct length for the script to run smoothly. Then, you can choose how many “wraps” you want (from 3 to 10), and you can also choose to add a shadow to each of the layers (remember, you might have a few there!), with your choice of settings. In the end, the result will be on separate, but linked layers.

So, what do you think of such a script? You can get this script in my stores: CreationCassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

If you want a chance to win this script free, just add your name to this RAK thread in the DST forum and tell me what you would wrap with this script. I will pick a winner Monday night.

cass-QuickWrap-sample As usual, you surely want to have a closer look at what the script can do. So, as usual, i have a sampler for you. I created this wrapped frame from scratch. The ribbon uses a lace from Buzy Bee Scrap (i cannot find a valid link for her blog for now so if you have one, please, let me know). Not only the wraps were made using the Quick Wrap script, but i also added, manually, one piece made using the Knot #3 script.

The frame is a PNG format so just about anyone can use it. In addition, i am providing the straight ribbon so you can match it in your layout, or use it to make a bow or a knot or even to wrap other elements if you want!

REMINDER

Did you get a discount coupon from the April promotion i had in the store? Remember that this coupon is only valid in May 2011! You have just over a week left to use it! You better start shopping!

New script – Knot #3

August 4, 2018May 13, 2011 by Cassel

Do you sometimes wish you could tie your digital ribbon? Do you like to have ribbons wrapped around an element but would like to use your own ribbon and not one already made? This will be the perfect script for you. If you can use Paintshop Pro, you can get great knots using any ribbon you already have. Start with a ribbon that is 2000x150 pixels and you end up with a tied ribbon. The script can create a ribbon for you if you dont have one already made. You can use any kind of ribbon: opaque, translucent, eyelets, even ribbons with a directional design. If you want to have some fancy details on the ends, like beads or serrated edges, the script can keep them intact for you, or can trim the ends like a traditional knot. The end result will be left unmerged so you can insert decorative elements in the middle if you want. Of course, you can merge them all if you prefer.

You can get this script in my stores: Creation Cassel, and DigiScrapWarehouse.

You can go add your name to the RAK thread in the DST forum here, if you want a chance to win this fantastic script.

cass-Knot3-sample

I am sure you would love to see the result of this script up close. I created this set for you. I used the Eyelet script to create a ribbon, and then, the Knot #3 script to turn it into a tied ribbon. It is in PNG format so most scrappers can use it. You get both in the zip.

New Script – Palette Expander

August 4, 2018May 5, 2011 by Cassel

Do you sometimes have a color palette to work with but feel somewhat trapped by the given colors, wishing you had more options? Maybe you want some in-between colors that would still fit the palette, yet, be different enough to give some flexibility? This script will help you achieve this. All designers using Paintshop Pro will want this. If you have a starting palette of 5 colors, you will be able to expand your palette to add many many intermediate colors. Choose any 2 colors from the palette, and choose how many colors you want the script to generate (from 3 to 10), and just watch it go. It will take only seconds and you will now have a perfectly matched set of colors to create richly colored scrapbooking kits.

You can get this marvellous tool at my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

And if you want a chance to get this script free, add your name to the RAK thread here and i will come back Monday with a winner. Even if you decide to purchase it at sale price, you can still add your name and if you win, then you get a coupon for a future new release.

cass-WordAlbum-MOM Since this weekend is Mother’s Day at least in some countries (i am not sure about everywhere in the world), i thought it might be a fun to create either an album or even a multipage wishing card for your mom or any other mom you know who deserves well wishes. This album, created with the Word Album script. It is 6 inches high and just over 10 inches wide. You can resize it down if you want to use it only as a card. It is available in layered PSD format for use with most graphic programs.

Now…. are you shopping a lot for this iNSD weekend? Still some energy? Want a surprise?

I will have a 40% sale on ALL MY PRODUCTS Sunday, May 8th. If you missed my Birthday sale, this is the perfect opportunity to catch up. You are VERY lucky there is a second sale in my store within such a short period of time, as it is a very rare occurence. So, hold on to your wishlist and come back Sunday, for 24 hours.

New Script – Cookie Cutter

August 4, 2018April 29, 2011 by Cassel

You know how cookie cutters are used to cut out cookies always in the same shape, of the same size out of cookie dough. This script for Paintshop Pro will do just about the same thing (without the dough). Unlike actual physical cookie cutters, you can use ANY SHAPE you want. You can use circles, rectangles, hearts, stars, arrows, spirals, ovals, frames, etc.

And more than choosing the shape, you can use any paper you have, colored or not, textured or not, big or small, from your stash or your kit. You can choose 1, 2, 10 papers, or how many your computer can handle open at once. The script will cut out the same shape, with some options of whether you want always the same size or slightly different, but it will cut from different sections of the papers every time. This means that even if you were to get 10 shapes from the same paper, the end result would be 10 different pieces. Isn’t this great?

Now, what can you do with so many little pieces of papers? You can create clusters, strings, mosaic, borders, patchworks, and probably more.

You can get this script in both of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

cass-CookieCutter-sample And why not try to get it for free too? Check this thread in the DST forum, add your name and wait for Monday night.

I am sure you would love to see something made with this script. Initially, i was wondering what i could make as a sampler, since this is mostly at TOOL script and useable with your own papers, but i found some textures i scanned a while ago and used just as texture, so i used those “images”, colored them in red/pink shades and used a heart shape to run the Cookie Cutter script. Once done, i simply aligned the hearts, mirrored some of them and added some bead tubes i had. I think it looks cool, dont you? This string is 4000 pixels long so you can size it down a bit if you want.

Do you want to see something else made with this script? Suzy, who was the one who suggested this idea made this layout using the kit Chatterbox from Sandra of Studio 68. Click on the image to reach my gallery where she posted it, so you can give her some love. How long do you think it would have taken to cut out all those circles?

New Tube – Spiral Binding #2

August 4, 2018April 23, 2011 by Cassel

These tubes are perfectly measured to create a regular spiral binding on the edge of any book, notebook or other element. You can place them along any edge, and you can make them as long as you want, with the size you want. You get 4 sets of tubes for Paintshop Pro (only…. sorry Photoshop users); each set includes side binding and center binding, shadowed and unshadowed. You also get a tube to align the holes perfectly. You get a total of 24 tubes in all. These realistic spirals were extracted from real ones, gathered at the printing shop!

You can grab this second set at either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

cass-SpiralBinding2-notebook Now, what could you do with the spirals? I made a little notebook for you. Use it for journaling on your pages if you want.

What kind of little notes will you write in that notebook?

Did you know about my birthday yesterday? Yeah, i share my day with the Earth, as in Earth Day! easy enough to remember! This year, I posted a special sale in my personal store, and a LOT of people took advantage of that rare opportunity: they enjoyed a 50% off sale on everything. Did you miss it? I still have a 35% off everything today (until midnight), and then a 25% off tomorrow. Hurry because sales are not very frequent in my store. Scripts, fonts, tubes, presets, paths, everything is on sale.

New script – Mask’n Ink

April 17, 2021April 15, 2011 by Cassel

You can now create a masked and inked shape or text in seconds. This script will let you add fun titles, wordarts, frames, or accents to your scrapbooking kits or layouts. Choose any color you want, and you can also decide to have thin, medium, large or very large brush strokes. There is a random feature integrated into the script so you can run it several times and always get something slightly different. You can also run it twice, with different thickness and different colors, on the same shape for an interesting effect. Only works with Paintshop Pro.

You can get this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

And how about a chance to get it for free? Just add your name to this thread in the DST forum and tell me what you can think you could use this script for. And a winner will be picked Monday night.

cass-MasknInk I have a little sample (actually TWO samples) made with this script. They are about 900 pixels wide and in greyscale so you can colorize them to suit your kit or your layout. They are in PNG format so you can use them in most graphic programs.

New script – Layered Pyramid

February 26, 2017April 8, 2011 by Cassel

Are you into hybrid projects? This script will be perfect for you to speed up the process. It will create a various number of layers in the shape you want, and centered or off-centered, focussing on an element of your photo.

You will have many options to choose from: the number of layers, the shape, the centering, the shadow, the placement of the off-centered layer. You can use the script on any photo and use it on a digital layout, like any other scrapbooking project, or print the layers separately and then cut them one by one to create a hybrid montage.

You can get this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

Here is a card that was made by ooh-la-la-creation using this script. Isn’t this great?

cass-Pyramid-Template If you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum, and tell me if you ever made a hybrid project with your digi supplies.

And how about a little freebie? I created this layered template loosely based on the card made above. It is a layered template in PSD format so most graphic program can open it. It is 5x7 in size.
