New script – String Tie

by

This week’s script lets you create your own string-tie closures, just like the ones you see on envelopes and notebooks — but fully customizable. You can pick the button shape, the colors, the spacing, and even the angle so the tie fits perfectly on your project. Each run gives you a slightly different result thanks to a few fun random elements, including the loose end.

All the layers stay unmerged, neatly grouped, and ready for you to tweak or drop onto your page.

New script – Sticky Album

by

This Sticky Album effect brings back the look of classic adhesive photo albums, complete with realistic ridges and subtle imperfections. It’s a fun way to add a nostalgic touch to your photos, or to create a unique textured overlay that feels instantly vintage.

You can keep the traditional diagonal ridges or go for creative horizontal or vertical variations. For even more impact, try using colored ridges to add a playful twist, or adjust opacity and blend modes to make the effect as subtle or bold as you like.

New script – Datestamp#14

Looking for a bold and stylish way to frame your words or photos? The Datestamp #14 script gives you a fun design that’s perfect for highlighting a name, a message, or even a full photo!

This script creates a classic rectangular frame with a slanted banner across the middle, letting you showcase your main text front and center. You get to pick the font, color, and wording for that banner — so it’s fully customized to your project.

Want to dress up the corners too? You’ll have plenty of options! Choose to add icons (like hearts, planes, or graduation caps), short messages, or even fill the corners with a color or pattern. You can leave them empty as well, or use your own brushes or photos to personalize it even further.

This design works beautifully for cards, titles, tags, or photo labels. Use it to create custom greetings, mark a special trip or event, or label a pet or loved one in a layout. It’s super flexible — and super fun!
