New tubes – Garlands

cass-GarlandTubes-Set1

This week, you can either start ahead on this Christmas kits, or catch up with last year’s pictures to scrap. You get a total of 15 garland tubes in Christmas-y colors. You will get different basic colors (gold, red, green and silver) in various color “intensity”. You can use them to hand draw lines in any length or path, or you can fill a surface as you wish too. Choose the size to create thin or thick garlands. Dress up a tree, make a frame, add a border to any page.

Those elements will work only with Paintshop Pro (version 8 and up).

You can find them in my store: Creation Cassel.

For a chance to win this whole set, check out this thread at the DST forum and add your name to it. Mr Random will pick a winner on Monday.

 

cass-Garlands1-Samplers And if you want to look at those, a bit closer, here is a freebie for  you. I Made 2 basic Christmas decorations using these tubes freehand. As you can see, you can outline, draw or even fill a surface with these tubes, just as you would do with a crayon.

New product – Tire Tracks

cass-TireTrackBrushesSet1  cass-TireTrackTubesSet1

Do you own a motorbike? a four-wheeler? a dune buggy? or any other vehicle on wheels? This is a perfect tool to help you add some accents to any layout featuring a vehicle or its owner! It could be about your passing your driver’s licence, your child’s first car (be it a full size or a toy one), or it could also be around your long road trip, your camping vacations, etc. You can use those to create a random background, to circle around some featured photos, create frames, or even a ribbon (why not?).

This week, i released two matching products. Which one to choose is a matter of preference. I would recommend the brush set as it is the most versatile. You can change the color, and even use some texture in your material palette to create that grungy worn look. However, if you use PSP8, the way the program uses the brush does not give a very smooth line if you have some sharper “corners”, so the tubes set will work better in those cases. However, if you are not using any such sharp angles, the brush works fine.

You can find both products in my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

As usual, i have a little draw for you at the DST forum, so if you want a chance to win one of these, just add your name to this thread.

cass-TireTracks-Frame-Sampler

I know, you are waiting to see things upclose aren’t you? Well, this week, i created a wooden frame with tire tracks on it. Pretty simple and i think it looks like a fun frame to use but it is yours to download for free.

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

I would love to see how you would use this frame so if you create a layout, how about showing it to me?

New paths – Alphabet shapes

cass-PathAlpha

Did you ever try to use some shapes to place text inside the border in Paintshop Pro? I am sure you noticed how tedious it is: write a bit, check where to stop the line, go to the next one, adding spaces at the start if the margin is not straight, vertically. Then, even worse if you needed to edit your text and everything gets moved and you have to reset every line.

Now, with these special text path made just for Paintshop Pro, you can get that text inside the borders MUCH easier than line by line. Even more if you use the Text Wrapping script.

So what are you waiting for? this set includes a whole alphabet of templates with text paths. That is TWENTY-SIX files in one set.

You can find that complete set in my stores: Creation Cassel and Digi Scrap Warehouse.

And even better, go check out the RAK thread in the DST forum here, and add your name to the thread. Tell me what letter you would use first, and why. On Monday night, i will ask Mr Random to pick a winner for the whole set. Do not hesitate to post. There MIGHT be something for all who post!

New script – Flip It UP

cass-FlipItUp

This new script will give VOLUME to your layouts and make your elements… STAND OUT. You can flip any text, design, shape in many ways. You can flip the top, the bottom, both, or flip from the middle. You can flip toward the left, the right or the center. Also, YOU decide where you want the fold to be, as it will not necessarily need to be in the center of the element. The script will also provide you with a shadow on a separate layer. You can copy the paper below, or cut out from it for even more creative use.

How flexible is that script? How many ways can you think of using it?

This script is available in my stores at Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrapWarehouse.

And if you want a chance to win this script, you can go add your name to this thread in the Happy Place of the DST forum, and i will draw for a winner on Monday night.

 

cass-FlipItUp-Arrows In the mean time, i have a little something for everyone. Here is a set of three arrows for you to use. They are layered PSD files so the shadow can be modified as you wish. Each arrow is about 800-900 pixels long. I am sure you can find some very creative ways to use those.

Sampler – Halloween templates

cass-HalloweenTemplates

Since i cannot do any sampler using this week new released script, i figured you might want to get ready for Halloween with those templates. You get 3 templates that can be used with a 5 x 7 photo. Just a fun way to display some pictures. They were made from the Word Edge Cutout script, so if you want to create other types of templates for yourself, with different words, you can check it out (it also works directly on the pictures).

They are in PNG format so anyone can use them. How about showing me what you do with them? You might see your layout displayed in my newsletter!

And while you are here, why not subscribe to my newsletter (on the left)? You will be informed of all the new release and new freebies, right in your mailbox. What are you waiting for?

New script – Template resizer

cass-TemplateResizer

Do you create templates? Do you use templates? Do you want to offer templates in square AND rectangular formats for your customers? Do you sometimes find a great template but it is not in the format you like to scrap? This script will be a useful tool for both scrappers and designers. In seconds, it will turn a standard 12 x 12 layered template into a rectangular one (horizontal or vertical) or vice versa. Of course, you will still have some tweaking to do especially if some elements have a particular alignment, spacing or overlapping, but most of it would be done.

You can find this script in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and Digiscrap Warehouse.

This script would be great in combinaison with the Template Maker and the Layer Separator.

If you want a chance to win this script, just go add your name to the thread in the Happy Place and tell me if you usually scrap with square or rectangular format.
