New script – Raster to Mask

by

If you like to use templates to speed your scrapbooking process, using ready-made templates have some draw-backs and could require additional steps to make them as flexible as you need. And to manipulate them one by one, manually, although it is easy, can be tedious.

This is why this script will be a time-saver as you can quickly convert that raster shape into a mask group, and then, repeat the process wherever you have a layer that is in a shape you would like to replicate with your photo or paper. Then, you have the flexibility to adjust those photos or papers the way you like them.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you do use ready-made templates to speed up your process(remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) 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).

This week, since the product added in the store is a tool, I chose to create another template like last week, with slats, but this time, you can showcase your little ghosts or goblins from last Halloween.

New script – Word Slats 2

by

Word Slats script for PaintShop ProSlats are fun ways to display images and templates are available in various stores, but do they have the word that YOU really need? How about having one with the city you visited, or the name of your grandchild?

This script will allow you to create your own template, with your own word. Since the script does not really handle spaces correctly, you should either use a single word OR add a hyphen between multiple words and then tweak the final template.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what single word you would use to create your own template. (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) 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).

As a sample, I created a template that is generic enough for you, as I can just assume that anyone has at least one photo of a vacation. The template is 3600x3600 pixels and includes two layers: one for the slats and one for the text, in case you want to make a title in a different color.

New Tubes – Ruffle Trims

by

This set of picture tubes will allow you to decorate any vector shape, so you can create frames, borders or freehand trimming.

You get a total of 30 tubes. For each of the 10 colors, you get a double edge trim that will place in the center of the vector path, but also two others that will place on each side of the path, allowing you to add stitching along one side.

Get these in the store: Ruffle Trims

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would use these tubes OTHER than for frames. (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) 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).

Since Halloween is coming soon, you might have some trick-or-treating photos of events, parties, or costumes. And if you don't celebrate Halloween, the white and black frames can also be quite elegant in a project for any other theme.

Each frame is about 3000 pixels wide, so you can resize them down as needed for your particular project.

New script – Ribbon Star

by

Ribbon star script for PaintShop ProWhether you want to use it as a frame for a photo or a bit of a story, star-shape frames are not always easy to find, and even harder to customize. However, this script will allow you to use ANY straight ribbon you have to create that frame you were looking for.

You can use thin or thick ribbons, opaque, translucent or even lacy ones for a really special star. And you can add stitching if you want too.

New Brushes – Halloween Punches

by

Halloween can be a time where you will want to create some themed elements. Cutouts can be fun and unique ways to display photos or create frames.

These punches can be used with the Eraser tool to actually cut from a paper, or a photo. However, you can also use those tips as brushes if you want to ADD colors.

New script – Snow Texture

by

Snow Texture script for PaintShop ProDo you like snow? Maybe or maybe not, but snow that is only on a project and not too cold could be fun to have.

This script will create a snow sculpture out of any shape you draw. Make sure it is large enough and does not have fine details (it would be hard to sculpt!). Every run of the script will yield a slightly different result because of the random feature integrated into the code.

New script – Spiral Candies

Spiral candy script for PaintShop proDo you have a sweet tooth? this script is meant for you.

You can create a variety of candies with a spiral design using any color palette (up to 6 different colors). The random feature will generate different color combinations, different swirls, different wrappers, and some will be just wrapped while others will be on a stick like a lollipop.

To help you eat them, the wrapper is left on a separate layer. And 0 calories, guaranteed!

Since Halloween is coming soon, why not stock up on some treats for your next projects? I used traditional Halloween colors, like orange, black, purple to generate a series of candies for you. You get 10 wrapped candies, and 10 matching unwrapped candies. All of them are in png format and each candy is about 500 pixels in size so you can easily resize them.

New Script – Paper Butterflies 2

by

Paper Butterflies script for PaintShop ProButterflies are elements that can be added to just about any project. Creating some might be fairly easy but when you are in a hurry and you want to create some using existing papers in a kit, it could be a little more tedious, especially if you want to create different ones every time.

This script will create a variety of butterflies from the papers you select and each one will be slightly different. Each layer is left on separate and unmerged layers so you can tweak the size and the placement of the wings.

New script – Scales

by

Sacle design script for PaintShop ProCreating pointy scale patterns, perfectly even is a very tedious task (try it!) but it is a unique design that could make your project stand out.

This script will use between 1 and 6 colors of your choice and create either a seamless tile of repeated colors and pattern or a random arrangement of those colors. In addition, you have the option to create scale patterns based on a colored layer. Furthermore, you can choose to have a contrasting outline (any color you want) or not.

Free scaled patterned papers in jpg formatSince you can use solid colors but also gradients, I had fun using 3 different gradients that I had in my stash to create a "one-color" seamless tile and then filled a full-size paper. I think that the result is stunning, don't you think?
