See what the Knot #4 script can do. Here is a little knot for you to play with. It is in layered PSD format and the base ribbon is also included.
The ribbon itself is made using a lace from Buzzy Bee Scraps.

This script will create a knot from just about any ribbon you provide. As long as the ribbon is about 75 x 500 pixels, it will work. To make the knot look even more realistic, make the ribbon 2000 pixels long. That way, the script will be able to use the whole lenght and the pieces will be places as if they were one single ribbon. That will allow you to use a ribbon with a directional pattern, a wide gradient, etc. Since all the pieces are actually placed as if they came from the ribbon, you can also use a translucent or cutout ribbon and you will see through it, as you would normally.
And if you want to attach this knot to something else, like a tag, or around the stems of flowers, you can also do it since the layers are left unmerged (but grouped so they wont get disaligned if you move them).

With this script, you will be able to add a touch of brightness on any element or shape. With many options to choose from, you can create wonderful elements that will brighten your kits or your layout.
Since the glittered edge will be created on a separate layers, you can create successive edges with various settings. You can even use the glittered part on its own, without the base shape.

Do you sometimes work on a kit and have to find the matching values of some colors to create or modify another one? Do you provide color palettes to a group of designers or scrappers for tasks or challenges? This script will analyse your color palette and generate either the Red-Green-Blue values, or the Hue-Saturation-Lightness values or simply the Hexadecimal code for each color. Use up to 10 colors with this script.
The file comes with 6 templates you can use to create your color palette. The script will also work with your own color palettes as long as (1) the colors are in a single row/colum and (2) the palette doesn't have any background color.
This script has been tested with versions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Using ANY element you have in a kit or on your page, you can create an original streamer. Use one element or several. Choose to have them placed horizontally or vertically. Get them each rotated a little or totally straight. Get them slightly distorted or intact. If you use only one element, you can have a variation on the brightness to make it less monotonous, or if you have several elements, choose to place them in a repeated sequence, or randomly. So many choices, so many options. Create two horizontal streamers and two vertical ones and combine them into a frame.
It is available in all my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi, Scrapping Whispers and ACOT.

If you ever did paper scrapping, you likely did use the stamping technique on edges of various elements. Now, you can get this same look, digitally. This script will create a similar appearance around ANY element. You choose the color of the ink, you choose how thick the border will be, then, since the "ink" will be on a separate layer, you can adjust it even more, playing with opacity, blending mode, saturation, lightness, adding texture, etc. You can even run the script several times with different thickness and/or different colors, and blend those all together. And the random function, integrated into the script, will allow you to get a different result every time you run it, even with the exact same settings.

But that is not all. Check this set of "inked digits". Each digit is layered so you get the base to use as a template and the ink in greyscale that you can colorise. All were done using the Inked Edge script.

If you like it, leave me a comment or even better, show me how you used it!
The preview shows a layered card i made for a collegue, after she had her baby. I had only a few reasonable pics so there was a lot of empty space on the pages, but this turned out perfect so everyone at work was able to sign and add a little note to her.
You can do the same with this script. You can use ANY word, and ANY font, so the possibilities are endless. The templates can be 1000 pixels high (about 3 inches) or 1800 pixels (6 inches). It is up to you to choose what you want to do, and also if your computer can tolerate the resizing step.
What can you do with the resulting template? you can make page templates (remember it is CU), you can make quickpages to match your newest kit, you can make them into pages for yourself. I am sure you can think of other uses too!
You can get this script, on sale this weekend at my store: CreationCassel,
And for a chance to win this script, check this thread at DST. Remember to tell me what word and what font you would use!
Come and shop. You have a lot to choose from!
Designers, I have created, over time, several scripts to help you make your previews. I decided to bundle TWELVE scripts for you.
- 5 scripts to place 3 to 7 papers in various dispositions
-5 scripts to place 8 to 16 papers
- 1 script to put all the elements
- 1 script to add the drop shadows to each individual element/paper on your preview.
THAT is a time saver. Heather has used the Paper Preview Set #2 and said it took her 4 minutes to do something that usually took her one hour. Talk about saving time. And the element placer can also reduce your time on that task by 90%.
The time you saved from doing previews is time spared to design. Wouldn't you rather design than make previews??? This bundle is only available at Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.
TWELVE scripts in a bundle, that is a deal!
If you are a designer and you create kit, i bet you spend a lot of time making your previews. Am I right? Making a kit preview involves a lot of repetitive work and since you are often working with large files (especially if you have 3600x3600 papers) the program gets slow or might even freeze, while you loose all your work since your last save (IF you saved). Adding elements to a previous can be tedious: you have to open the file, resize the image, copy it, paste it in your preview, go back to the image and close it making sure you dont save it by accident. Then, when you have all your elements in the preview, you end up with lots of layers dont you? And how long can this process take? 30 minutes? an hour? 3 hours? Obviously, it depends if you have a mini-kit or a mega-collab kit.
This script will cut your preview making time to a fraction. It will do everything with your element files that you usually do by hand. It will do it automatically, with light-speed. I am not kidding. Heather placed 52 elements in one preview and it took one minute. ONE MINUTE ! ! and Diosa did the same with 71 elements using her own preview to start with and it took 85 seconds. Can you do that by hand? I know i can't! You can get this script in my store.
Do you want to win it? Yes, i have a draw coming up either Sunday or Monday for this script. Add your name to the thread here and cross your fingers.
