New picture tubes – Decorative Icing 4

by

If you like to decorate cakes or even want to showcase some dessert, you can use these picture tubes to add a sweet decoration to your page.

These are incremental picture tubes which means they will create a regular repetitive shell design following your cursor, as if you had used a piping bag! And if you want a nice even shape, you can use a vector path to apply them to.

New Brushes – Punches B

by

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.

You can also use the UNerase function to re-add paper where the punches would otherwise remove it. You can then customize the designs even further.

You get 10 different designs, mostly using diamonds and squares.

As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout and one with cutouts on the ends. One has a heart shape punched out, while the others are 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.

New script – Pencil Sketch 2

by

If you want to convert a part of your photo into a "technical" pencil sketch drawing, this script will help you with it. You can use any image and any section to convert.

The script will create a brownish base paper, but you can also use your own, in any color, with any texture.

All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak each of them as you want, erasing sections, colorizing them, etc.

o, sketch, As a sample, I used pictures of isolated flower clusters and ran the script. I added a separate frame and removed the "technical" drawings as they didn't seem to fit with the theme. Each card is 4x6 and has enough space for you to write a sentiment, a quote, or a message.

New script – Painted Frames 2

by

You can now add some painted frames around any photo, element, or even just a selection. This means that you can even work directly on your work in progress.

This script will take care of all the calculations so you will have an even frame all around. You can use a single color or two different colors.

And if you want something irregular, you can add that to the paint stroke.

New script – Letterpress

by

You can now display your favorite quote or title in a unique way.

The script will create all the individual pieces for the characters or symbols you want, in any font you want. You can choose to type in a word or a phrase, or the whole alphabet. Once the pieces are created, you can also have a board built for you to display your text.

New script – Counting cards 1

by

Whether you are doing a "Project 52" or just want to showcase your photos, sometimes, it can be fun to have an overlay to show the week and year of that particular photo.

This script will create a complete set of 53 cards (yes, there is a 53th week in the year, for the few days left). You can choose the fonts, the color, the size, and the format.

All the cards/overlays will be combined into a single file with 53 individual layers, clearly labelled so you can just pick the one you need at the time.

As a sampler, I created a whole set of raster overlays for you to showcase the year 2023. All the layers are in white, but you know that you can change that easily, right? The format is 6x4, which is fairly standard for printing, but also if you are doing pocket scrapbooking.

New script – Petal Pattern

by

It might be a design of the past, but sometimes, the past comes back into fashion. You can create this design manually, but it is tedious. You can use a template, but it is still tedious to change the colors especially if you want more variety.

This script will use up to 8 colors and randomly create up to 20 tiles that can then be used to fill a larger image, whether you want to create a background paper, a frame, a mat, or anything else.

For a sample, I chose the color palette from the Digital Scrapbook November blog train and generated six fun designs that you can use as seamless patterns. They are in png format, and have no background so you can add whatever color you want behind it.

New script – Stacked Wooden Alpha

by

You can surely create stacks of wooden characters, but it is quite tedious. You have to duplicate each character, and then rotate and move them one by one, then add some thickness AND if you want to add the proper inside shadows, you have to do that on each individual layer.

But the script will do that in just a few seconds. Furthermore, it will change the angle of the wood texture for each layer, making your stacks even more random.

Once done, all the layers will be merged so that the inside shadows are not disturbed.

For a sampler, I created a set of 10 digits, using cherry wood. Each digit is about 500 pixels high in png format.

New script – Bow #23

by

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.

New script – Echo Text

by

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.

This is a great way to add a name, a date, an event, a location, or a meaningful phrase.

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 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.
