If you want some variety in your supplies but still want something to match what you currently have, this is another script to create a bow from a straight ribbon.
If your ribbon is thicker than 175 pixels, the script will resize it to create the bow, however, if your ribbon is between 100 and 175 pixels, it will just create a smaller bow.
All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak them as needed or insert something in the knot.

For a sample, I used some ribbon templates from Marisa Lerin and colored them with some autumn colors. The freebie includes the three bows but also the matching straight ribbon I created for them so you can even use them with other scripts to create other types of bows and knots.

You can showcase your favorite photo with a custom mask based on the text of your choice. You can choose any text, in any font. You can finish the script by editing the original text to something different if you want. You can move that text where you want on the project, whether it is on top, on the bottom, or in the plain center.
For a sample, I ran the script starting with the word "Family" in a fairly thin font, but finished it with a thicker version of the same name, placed at the bottom. This allows you to showcase your photo without interruptions in the middle.
You can now have some custom-shaped pretzels to either write a title, make a frame, or draw an arrow.
For a sample, I created a whole alphabet using this script. I drew the letters manually and even had separate sections that I merged together to give more 3D effects.
It is fairly easy to use a ready-made bow and maybe colorize it, but you still end up with the same shape, every time. Wouldn't you like to get more variety?
As a sample for this script, I ran it and used three different metallic rope tubes. You get three bows, about 800-900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.
This set of brushes will allow you to paint or cut intricate designs in the middle of a paper (or a photo). Create cutouts away from the edges and corners.
As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout. One has the year 2023 cut out of it, while the other is blank for you to add anything else you want. The design can even be cut from actual paper/cardstock using a cutting machine. You can colorize these strips any way you want. Each "bookmark" is 600x3000 pixels long and can also be used as an element on your next project.
Another script will allow you to create a variety of decorated beads. This time, the beads will be a slightly different shape than the previous scripts. Furthermore, you can create monochrome beads in addition to the duotone ones. Different rotations will be associated with the correct bevel and shadows to give a more realistic effect.
For a sampler, I used the same color palette as for the previous freebies for the Beads Maker 1 and the Beads Maker 2. This way, you will have a total of 45 matching beads to play with and create a variety of elements.
Whether you want to showcase school pictures or flowers in your garden, you might also want to feature one special photo. This script will create a template for you with all the settings you want.
As a sampler, I created a 6x6 template with small images on top and on the left only, leaving an even larger area in the bottom right.
You can add one of our 6 types of wood fence, in just about any size but also, in any length. You can draw those fences on a perfectly straight line or follow a slight hill.
As a sampler, I created one long fence (4000 pixels) and added some vines and a lovely cat. It is in PNG format so you can use it with any program.
There are so many ways to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase to a project. This script will let you choose a main word/date to place in the center, with your choice of font. In addition, you can select the words to add in the top and bottom corners.
As a sampler, I created a set of "blank" datestamps with the days of the week. You can add whatever you want in the center area. Since they are all in greyscale, you can colorize them however you want.
This new script will create some seamless scale patterns with any color palette you want.
As a sample, I created 3 seamless tiles with green shades to go with a possible dinosaur theme. Of course, you can also use those with a garden theme or anything else. There is also a full-size paper with randomized greens. All the elements used the same color palette so they should match if you want to use them together.
