New tubes – Icicle Light Strings

January 12, 2021December 22, 2017 by Cassel

Icicle Light String tubes for Paintshop Pro You might have those lights, at home, to decorate your windows or your tree, but now, you can do the same with your digital projects (and no electric cost).

These are picture tubes that you can use to "draw" the strings wherever you want, and however long you want them.

You get a total of 32 strings!

New brushes – Holiday Punches

January 12, 2021December 16, 2017 by Cassel

Last week, I released some new corner punches and they were a hit! But not only that, I got some inspiration from Sue, who suggested some more punches for Christmas next year. But I didn't wait until next year! I started working on those immediately.

Not only this set includes corner punches, but also edges so that you can cut out along the edge of your paper. And even more, I included the basic shapes so you can punch anywhere else. Do you realize that you can't easily punch a snowflake in the middle of a paper if you are a traditional paper scrapper? But with these, you can punch ANYWHERE!

The whole set includes 50 different punches! You'll have enough to embellish your cards, tags and many other elements.

Have a look at some of the edges that can be created using the Edge punches from this set:

In order to win these punches, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what shape/element you like to use on holiday projects (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 fun frame for you using one of the corner brushes. Since the brush was not making an exact circle, I added some parts to make it into a real circle. Then, using the locked transparency, I painted all the elements separately. It is not hard, but a bit tedious. Then, I simply added some colored edges inside the frame. The whole frame is about 3200 pixels wide so you can size it down as needed.

You get a colored frame and the template if you want to make more with different colors.

New script – Duotone Photos

January 12, 2021December 2, 2017 by Cassel

It might be simple to create a black and white photo with Paintshop Pro, and it is also easy to colorize that photo with one color, but how about using TWO colors? So, instead of light red and dark red, you would want yellow and red, or blue and purple, or blue and brown, or whatever color combinations you want to make a unique image?

This script allows you to choose ANY two colors and will transform any photo into a creative image. Choose colors to match a background or another image, or just make a collage with different variations.

In order to win these tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what color combinations you would like to try on your photos (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 freebie, this week, I obviously could not give you a sample of the script since it is applicable only on your photos, so I thought you might want to showcase some photos in a holiday frame so I created one wooden frame using the Wood Frame script, and added some embellishments (branches, poinsetta, pine cones, ornaments and present). I also used the Christmas light tubes to finish off the decoration.

New script – Paper Trees

January 12, 2021November 10, 2017 by Cassel

Creating paper trees might be a simple task but it still takes a bit of time when you have to open a paper, make a selection, copy it, paste it to another image and then, create another piece, slightly smaller and repeating the process piece by piece.

This script will speed up the process and while you can generate up to 10 trees at the time and you can choose to keep whichever you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what color OTHER than green, you would like to use to create a paper tree (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).

To offer you a sample of what can be done with this script, I created 3 layered paper trees made from the kit Apple Crisp.

Each one is left with unmerged layers so you can tweak the placement of the pieces, rotate them, insert elements in-between, and more.

New script – Layered Flowers 2

January 13, 2021October 27, 2017 by Cassel

Did you have a peek at the Layered Flowers script from last week? You could create a set of layered circles, but this week, you can create a set of layered papers cut into various shapes with points. Although you can decide how many points each shape will have, the script will randomly create those shapes to give you a unique result every time.

Just like the previous script, you can choose any papers of your stash, the number of layers, the number of "flowers" and whether you want the script to add a drop shadow.

Perfect to create a fun accent to match your kit or your project. Add a button, a gem, a brad or a staple in the center to hold all those layers.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would use these "flowers" for (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).

For a sample of this script, I used papers from the bundle Enchanting Autumn from Marisa Lerin. It includes a variety of "flowers" using different settings of the script: number of layers, number of points and regularity vs irregularities.

You get 10 flowers that you can use as is, or with the kit that you can get too.

New script – Layered Flowers

January 13, 2021October 20, 2017 by Cassel

If you had some traditional papers, you might want to cut out some circles and layer them to create a "flower" in the color of your kit or project. Doing that is tedious with paper, but also very tedious with digital ones.

With this script, it only takes you a few seconds to generate up to 10 different flowers from a series of papers of your choice. This is the perfect way to add an element that is a perfect match to your project. Add a staple, a button or any other decorative element in the center to "fasten" your flower to your project.

Get this script in the store: Layered Flowers

For a sampler, I ran the script with a few papers from a kit, Happy Birthday, from Marisa Lerin. You can get the whole kit for free, HERE.

Each flower is about 400 pixels wide and has 4 or 5 layers.

Since I used mostly basic color papers, these flowers can be quite versatile and usable in many projects.

New script – Scallop Pattern 3

January 12, 2021October 13, 2017 by Cassel

Scallops can be a fun design but other than getting a simple template that is a single color, you are limited in the options available. This script will allow you to create a variety of scallop outline patterns that will be either seamless or a full sheet of the size of your choice. Using that outline, you can add a background of any color, or even using a gradient.

This will give you many additional options to create custom designs for your projects or your kits.

Get it in the store: Scallop Pattern 3

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what colors/color combination you would first create your scallop pattern (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 this is October, you might plan either a Halloween party or expect to take some Halloween pictures. This set of two seamless scallop tile will be perfect to create your paper or background. Since they are in .png format, you can add a custom color behind it.

New script – Mask Maker

January 13, 2021September 23, 2017 by Cassel

Do you sometimes find some interesting masks, but they are the wrong shape or the wrong orientation?

Do you want to create something unique to showcase your own photos?

This script will help you create a unique mask in any shape with any design you want. You can be very creative with it.

Once done, the mask can be saved and used over and over again, later.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what type of color you would most likely colorize these laces (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 sampler, I am giving you the mask created for the preview. It is square and has some delicate flower designs on the edges, both inside and outside of the basic shape. This should allow you to showcase your photo with little interference from the cutouts.

The basic mask is 2000x2000 pixels but remember that it will adjust to your photo, whatever size it is.

New Tubes – Crochet Lace Tubes 2

January 13, 2021September 15, 2017 by Cassel

This is the second set of tubes to create crochet lace edges on any element you create. This set includes 5 more picture tubes that you can use simply while drawing with your cursor.

What will you make? Frames? Edges? Clusters?

They are in greyscale so you can colorize them in a color that will match your project. No more having to search for that perfect lace; you can create it.

Get it in the store: Crochet Lace Tubes 2

As a sampler, this week, I created an oval lace frame using one of the tubes in this set. It is left in greyscale so you can colorise it as you wish. You can use it to frame a picture but also a quote or a particular element you might have scanned and extracted, like a memorabilia.

New script – Cutout

January 13, 2021August 25, 2017 by Cassel

With this script, you can pretend that you cut out the top layer of your project to show something underneath, while in fact, you cheated and what you see underneath is actually on top.

This allows you to move your "cutout" piece anywhere on your project, or on a separate project if you want to. Save it for future use too and the effect will be applied wherever you place the shape.

The edges will look like the paper is slightly curled up, so make sure you place it on a layer that looks like paper (curled up wood would not look too realistic!)

Get this script in the store: Cutout

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what shape you can think of using this script with (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).

To show how these cutout shapes can be portable, I used a stencil font to create a set of white digits. They are png format so you can use them anywhere, on any project and give the impression that your paper is cut, and curled up to show these numbers. You will obviously get better results if you don't use a very dark paper!
