New brushes – Holiday Punches

January 12, 2021December 16, 2017 by Cassel

Holiday Brushes for Paintshop Pro Last week, I released some new corner punches and they were a hit! But not only that, I got some inspiration from Sue, who suggested some more punches for Christmas next year. But I didn't wait until next year! I started working on those immediately.

Not only this set includes corner punches, but also edges so that you can cut out along the edge of your paper. And even more, I included the basic shapes so you can punch anywhere else. Do you realize that you can't easily punch a snowflake in the middle of a paper if you are a traditional paper scrapper? But with these, you can punch ANYWHERE!

The whole set includes 50 different punches! You'll have enough to embellish your cards, tags and many other elements.

Have a look at some of the edges that can be created using the Edge punches from this set:

In order to win these punches, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what shape/element you like to use on holiday projects (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, I created a fun frame for you using one of the corner brushes. Since the brush was not making an exact circle, I added some parts to make it into a real circle. Then, using the locked transparency, I painted all the elements separately. It is not hard, but a bit tedious. Then, I simply added some colored edges inside the frame. The whole frame is about 3200 pixels wide so you can size it down as needed.

You get a colored frame and the template if you want to make more with different colors.

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 Tubes – Colored Petals

January 12, 2021November 25, 2017 by Cassel

Although it is easy enough to purchase extracted flower petals, it is tedious to place them where you want, and even more if you want to scatter them randomly.

These petals were also extracted but exported as picture tubes so that you can scatter them anywhere on your project, simply by dragging your cursor on your project.

This product includes 20 sets of petals in 10 colors: one set has no shadow, so you can add your own, and one has a slight shadow, mostly to give a 3D effect on petals that might be overlapping.

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 these tubes, I created two frames made of petals. Each frame is almost 3600 pixels wide, so you can resize it as you need it.

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.

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, 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 – 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!

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?).

New script – Cutout Label

January 13, 2021September 29, 2017 by Cassel

How would you like to get a fun, unique label to use as a title or tag on your project? If you are looking for some ready-made ones, it might be hard to find the perfect one, with the text you want, or the size you want.

This script will allow you to create that, and even more, you can use it with a cutting machine to embellish your paper craft projects.

Get it in the store: Cutout Label

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what word or phrase would you first use 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 of what can be done with this script, I created 4 labels with the seasons for you to use. They are 600 pixels in height so you can size them down if needed. If you have a cutting machine, you can also use it to embellish your paper projects.

As they are in greyscale, you can colorize them any color you want, or using the Transparency lock, you can replace the grey by a gradient or pattern too.

New tubes – Crochet Lace Edge 1

January 13, 2021August 18, 2017 by Cassel

Do you like lace edging? Can you find some that suits your project? Something that is the right color, the right length?

These are tubes so you can drag your cursor anywhere and create a crochet lace as long as you want.

You can certainly use them as is, like a piece of lace to add to a cluster, or you can actually edge a paper, or make frames. You can even thread some ribbons through them for an even more customized look.

Have fun with those.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you might use those tubes 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).

As a sample, this week, I created a long strip of lace and turned it into two frames using the Mitered Corner Frame script. In order to make nice corners, i trimmed the strip exactly between "loops" then measured the length of a loop in order to set a size, in the script, that would use complete loops. I think it turned out great.

These frames are left in greyscale so you can colorize them to match your own project.

I hope you will show me what you do with them!

New script – Custom Kit Frames

January 13, 2021July 21, 2017 by Cassel

Now, you can create a series of frames of different sizes using several papers you have on hand. This is perfect if you want to create frames to go along with your kit, but it can also be an interesting tool to give you some frames that you can use on your own layout using the colors of your project.

You can generate plain frames or add an inner mat of the color you want (hopefully to match the papers you selected).

Keep the frames you like and discard the others. Create up to 15 frames in a single execution.

This week, I am offering you 10 frames I made for the preview. It uses papers from the kit Fine Print from Marisa Lerin. This kit is free to download, so if you want some matching frames, papers and elements, check it out here.
