New script – Painted Cardboard

January 18, 2021January 6, 2017 by Cassel

Painted Cardboard script for Paintshop Pro What do you like about incorporating ripped pieces of papers in a digital project? The rustic look? Maybe. But how do you go around getting those for your layout other than scanning them?

Easy! You use a script in Paintshop Pro!

This script will let you start with any shape, in any color and it will work its magic with just a few questions to answer or choices to make. That's it! It will create the ripped uneven edges, and convert your initial color into strips of uneven paint.

And best of all, every run will yield a different result because of the random function incorporated into the script. If you don't like one result, undo (Ctrl-Z) and run again. It's that easy!

For a chance to win this script, i decided to change things around a bit. THIS WEEK, you need to comment on THIS FACEBOOK POST instead of here. The winner will be announced NEXT week in the newsletter. 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 3 frames using this script. All three were made starting with a different gradient instead of a solid color. They are about 6 inches in the longest side so you should be able to get a photo in them.

With this rustic look, you can probably combine those frames with other elements in a cluster. That would be great! Don't you think?

New script – Puffy Paint

January 18, 2021December 16, 2016 by Cassel

Now, you can use your Paintshop Pro to add a fun line of puffy paint around an edge of a shape or a letter.

You can replicate that uneven look of puffy paint in various colors or thickness, with this script.

Add an outline around any shape or draw your own lines and convert them to puffy paint look.

Every run of the script will give you a different look because of the random feature coded in the script.

For a chance to win this script, tell me what element or design you would like to create using puffy paint. I will announce a winner 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 of what you can get with this script, I created a set of digits in "white". You can easily fill them in with the color of your choice for a different look.

Since it is white, you can also consider them as icing digits. And why not fill them with our own Sprinkles?

Each digit is about 400 pixels high in PNG format.

A complete set will be available in the newsletter, so keep an eye on it, this coming Sunday.

New tubes – Christmas Strings

January 18, 2021December 2, 2016 by Cassel

Adding holiday decorations is always fun, and even better when you do it digitally.

With these strings, you can draw the string as long as you want, in any shape you want to suit your project or your element.

Create frames, decorate windows, or even wrap your relative in one of those.

Choose between bells, candy canes or stars in various Christmas colors. What will you do?

Grab those tubes in the store: Christmas Strings

Would you like to get this set for free? Give me ideas of OTHER elements you would like to see in a string. Post your suggestions in the comments below. I'll pick a winner and announce it 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, for a sampler, I used several products from the store to create a decorated wooden window. I used the Wooden Window script, the Christmas lights and the Christmas strings.

Both the window AND the decoration are on separate files so you can use them separately or together.

New script – Letter Stamps

January 18, 2021November 18, 2016 by Cassel

You can now create a fun title or text using individual stamps that will display letters, digits, abbreviations or words.

You can create your own sets to match your kit (as a designer) or generate only the letters/digits/words that you need for your particular project. Choose the color and the fonts that suits your project or your palette.

The random patterns picked by the script will make a fun series of stamps.

You can create stamps for single letters or digits or use them for text elements that have more than one character.

What would you write with this script? Would you rather create individual alphabets or add words instead? Tell me in the comments below and i'll pick a winner to be announced next week in the newsletter. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem.

How about a way to date all the photos and pages you will be doing in December?

You can use these stamps for each date from December 1 to 31, 2016.

You get all the dates from 1 to 31, the month of December and the 2016 year. Whether you create a single layout that needs a date, or a series of 31 pages, you have everything needed to date them.

New script – Playdough

January 18, 2021November 11, 2016 by Cassel

As a child, you likely have played with playdough (or plasticine). You must have created textures, poked your finger in it, rolled it to make snakes and used cookie cutters to create various shapes.

Now, with this script, you can replicate that fun effect with any shape and color (even multicolored elements).

The script will generate a texture based on a texture tile but also a random array of settings, making each run create a slightly different texture.

You can choose one of 4 thickness, which will be more appropriate with the size of the project, or the size of the individual element.

The script will even add a drop shadow on a separate layer. If you like that shadow, just keep it. If you prefer to add your own, you can do so too.

Get this script in the store: Playdough.

What kind of designs would you create with this script? Would you write text? Create long and twisted "snakes"? cut out shapes? Tell me in the comments below. I'll pick a winner and will announce it 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 sampler, I created a "hand drawn" alphabet for you. I used three fall colors.

Since several letters were created with overlapping segments, the drop shadows were added to each of them.

What project will you crate with those?

New script – Custom Kit Labels

January 18, 2021November 4, 2016 by Cassel

If you are creating kits, you will want to use this script to create a variety of labels in just a few seconds. Keep the ones that you like, and discard the others.

If you are just using a ready made kit, you can create a few labels based on the papers of your project. Pick the one or two that you prefer and you will get a perfect match.

You can choose any paper, any size, any shape, and have any color in the center. The script will create a variety of labels with random combinations of the different options you will have picked.

You can get this script in the store: Custom Kit Labels

What would be your favorite shape for labels? would you prefer to have circles, squares, rectangles, ellipses or something else? Tell me in the comments below for a chance to win this script. 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 ran the script using 5 papers from the kit Enchanted Autumn from Marisa Lerin. This set includes 15 different labels, ranging in size between 600 and 1000 pixels. Some are round, some are oval, some are square and some are rectangular.

New script – Split Text

January 18, 2021October 22, 2016 by Cassel

Have you ever wanted to create a wordart with half of the text in negative from the rest? It is not too hard to do manually, but it requires accuracy. And then, if you want to create a series, it is longer.

This script will make this process very fast and easy.

The script will let you choose any text, and any font. You can separate the text any way you want in two lines. Then, the magic will happen and the script will split the text either horizontally, vertically or diagonally to create the cutout effect.

Once done, everything will be merged. If you want to colorize the end result, add a bevel, add a texture, etc. it will be up to you.

Get this script in the store: Split Text

What word or phrase would you want to use to create a split text wordart with this script? Tell me in the comments below. I will pick a winner that 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).

How about a way to date your layouts? Whether you are making a Project Life album, or you just want a fun way to identify when those pictures were taken, here are some split months. Each one is about 420 pixels in height, and the width will depend on the text.

If you want to colorize then, you can do so to match your project. Add a texture if you want. Add a grungy look with some brushwork, etc.

New script – Laser Cut Doilies – Rectangle

January 18, 2021October 15, 2016 by Cassel

Who has too many doilies? In the last few weeks, you got scripts to help you create circular and square doilies, but with a bit of math, I managed to code a script to allow for doilies that have different sizes in height and length. That is really adding another level of flexibility for your projects.

You can create doilies a wide as 7200 pixels, which would span the width of a double page layout.

It works just like the script to create square doilies but will duplicate the segments unevenly to match the size you want.

Get this script: Laser Cut Doilies - Rectangle

Would you want to win this script? Tell me what is the largest size you can think you could use for your doilies (and what you would use them for, in that size). I'll announce a winner 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, i made three rectangular doilies, and i am offering them to you. They are all in png format so you can use them with other programs than Paintshop Pro. You can also colorize them if you want. The shadows are only for the preview. There is a slight bevel only.

New script – Laser Cut Doilies – Square

January 18, 2021October 7, 2016 by Cassel

The last script that was made available to you was to help you create round laser cut doilies, but what if you want them square? With a bit of coding, I am bringing this to you. It will use a similar process to create the rounded corners, but you will also have the option to modify the design for the straight edges, either by adding more cutouts or removing some. This will allow you to have some unique designs along the straight edges, if you want.

You can create simple and basic designs or make them very intricate and detailed. It is all up to you.

Grab this script in the store: Laser Cut Doilies - Square.

What color do you feel you would like to try to create those doilies? Would you prefer to stay with white, or would you try a different color? Tell me in the comments below and i'll draw a winner that 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).

Just like last week, i had fun creating those samples. I experimented with various designs and although a few didn't turn out too great, most of them were really pretty. That is why i am offering them to you.

Each one is about 2000 pixels wide, in png format.

New script – Laser Cut Doilies – Round

January 18, 2021September 23, 2016 by Cassel

Laser cut doilies are delicate paper products that offer a great variety of designs and patterns. However, in the digital world, the number of such designs is limited.

Using this script, you can create your own, unique at each run of the script.

Draw series of dots to create fun designs. Add some fine lines. Use a solid color or a gradient.

The script will turn a tiny design of yours into a full size element that you can use in various projects.

Beware: this script is addictive!

Get it in the store: Laser Cut Doilies - Round

Would you like to get this script for free? Tell me what type of projects you can think of using laser cut doilies for. Tell me in the comments below and i'll pick a winner to 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 of what this script can do, I am offering you a set of 6 doilies that i created while testing this script. I have to say that this IS addictive.

I even include a colored version of one design that uses a blue gradient. I think it is pretty neat!

They are in png format, so they can be used in most graphic programs. They are all about 2000 pixels in diameter.
