New Script – Text Wrapping

August 4, 2018July 23, 2010 by Cassel

Do you sometimes, wish you could place text within a shape and have the text automatically wrap to the next line? You know that PSP does not have that feature. So, do you find yourself having to add spaces here and there to make the text somewhat fit the shape or the space you want to use? This script will now do it for you. Use one of the multiline shaped paths included (others will be made available soon), enter your text, and run the script. You can modify the size of the shape if you want and the text will fit that size/shape. If you want to add another paragraph, just go ahead. (be sure to read the instructions before using this script for better results and no frustration!).

Available at my stores: Creation Cassel, and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, go add your name to the RAK thread at DST. I will draw for one winner on Monday night.

New FONT – Lace Edge #3

August 4, 2018July 16, 2010 by Cassel

Now, you can create some delicate edges on any element you want with this Lace Edge Font. Yes, it is a FONT, so it means that you can use it even if you are not a PSP user. As long as your program can support outside fonts, you can use this one. Being a font, it is a vector, meaning that you can create a border in any size you want, without distortion. Choose the color, the length, follow a path if your program can do that. Use as the edge of a frame, border some ribbons, make it as stitching, the possibilities are endless.

You can grab it in my stores here: Creation Cassel, and Do It Digi.

New Script – Contact Sheet

August 4, 2018July 9, 2010 by Cassel

This script falls in the category of TOOLS. If you are a digiscrapper, you might want to be able to have a visual catalogue of the content of your kits. If you are a designer, maybe you want to provide such a catalogue to your customer. If you are a fan of photography, maybe you want to have some thumbnails of all the cat photos, the vacation photos, etc.

You have several options to choose from but you can include: full path of the folder, frames around the images, shadows, filename. And the script will create (and number) as many pages as needed to display all the graphic files in the folder. It will generate a preview of files with these extensions: jpg, png, psd, psp, pspimage, tiff, wmf.

This script is available in my stores (always on sale until Sunday night): Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

If you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread at the DST forum and add your name. A winner will be picked Monday night.

New script – Glass Beads maker script

July 4, 2020July 2, 2010 by Cassel

Create hundreds of beads to match your color palette or your layout with this script. Choose the colors, choose the shape (the script has 6 predefined shapes or you can draw your own), choose if you want translucent beads, and if you want to see the “hole” through it.

The script will generate several designs with random combinations of your colors and different angles for the beads (so the light spot stays consistently in the right place. Create up to 20 beads per run. Hundreds and thousands of possible results.

Available in my store: Creation Cassel

New script – Bundle Preview

August 4, 2018June 25, 2010 by Cassel

Do you create bundles, or make previews with several smaller previews for collab kits? This script will save you a lot of time. Simply start the script, open the individual images you want to include in the preview, and continue the script. It will automatically count, resize and arrange the images to cover most of the space available. You can get the images rotated or not too.

Use this script to display individual previews in a bundle, quick pages, layouts, or even papers or photos in a layout. The script ends with unmerged layers so if you want to rearrange some images, you still can.

Available at Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, go to this thread and post your name along with an answer to the question from the first post.

New Product – Rope Tubes – Set #2

August 4, 2018June 18, 2010 by Cassel

Did you check out the Rope tubes that i released last week? They were solid colors. This week, you can get another set of 10 rope tubes, but this time, they are multicoloured. You can still use them in the same way you were using the previous set.

These tubes were created with my Directional Tuber Script, and starting with a tiny piece of a real rope photography. Some tubes were recoloured to add variety to this set.

Use them to make doodles, tie some tags, attach various trinkets, etc.

You can get this set on sale until Sunday night, at my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this set of ropes, you can check this thread in the DST forum. cass-Ropes2-Digits

Now, if you are not a PSP user, you can still enjoy and use this free sample. They are layered PSD files so you can use the rope outline with or without the fill. You can also colourize either one or both layers if you want. Each digit is approximately 550 pixels high.

New Product – Rope tube

August 4, 2018June 11, 2010 by Cassel

This week, my new release is NOT a script, as you might expect, but it is still a PSP specific product: a set of 10 tubes. If you are not too familiar with tubes, you might have seen some in your PSP, and they look like individual pictures that you can place here and there on a layout or other montage. These tubes are more than that. Although they are made of individual images, they are made to follow wherever you draw, and create a rope along the way. You can hand draw any line, or apply this string along a path or even around a vector shape for a regular look.

You get 10 individual files, in 10 different colors. If you want to de-saturate them, you can. You can draw loops, bows, strings, doodles, etc.

You can get this set of 10 tubes in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this set, go add your name to this thread at DST forum. cass-Ropes1-sample

If you are still unsure about how good these will really look, or if you are not a PSP user and would still like to use something like that, i made a simple hand drawn alphabet. You get 26 individual PNG files for the 26 basic capital letters.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

So, what do you think of this? Did you notice that it is called Braided ropes #1. Well, in the near future, other sets of tubes will be released, but i am not telling you when it will happen. You will have to follow this blog, or follow me on twitter to find out!

New Script – Grab Bag

August 4, 2018June 4, 2010 by Cassel

Do you sometimes have some grab bags in your store? Are you struggling to find something different to show off your products? Did you ever see bags and wished you could have them in layers? or maybe you found a layered one, but you don’t have much option to customize it other than colorize it?

This script will certainly help you create something unique. With this script, you can create a total of 10 base bags, but that means 2 different formats and 5 different types of handles. But more importantly, you can customize the front, the side, and the handle. Choose your store color, add a logo or a catch phrase, add some decorations (maybe from the elements in your grab bag??), use matching or contrasting colors/gradient/pattern for the front and the side. Really, you will never have a boring grab bag anymore!

You can get them in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum, and add your name. Make sure you also tell me some ways you would think of decorating a grab bag!

new Script – Kit Previews Maker

August 4, 2018May 29, 2010 by Cassel

If you are a designer, you have to make previews. Whether your kits are small or large. If you are a store owner, you might organize some collab kits that end you containing a lot of papers and elements. For each preview that you make you have to open the paper files, resize them, copy them, close them, paste them into your preview, play around to distribute them more or less evenly depending on how many papers you have for that preview, rotate them if you wish, and add a shadow. And that is for ONLY the papers in the preview! Now, onto the elements, and of course, you have even more elements to place on your preview. So, the same routine, or opening, resizing, copying, pasting, closing, moving. Are you out of breath already? How long does it take you to make a preview for your kit? Twenty minutes? thirty? And that is if you have a regular size kit. Now, if you have a mega kit to organize, and you have too much stuff to put in a single preview, then you have to repeat the process twice, three times, four times, five times. OK, now that you know how long you take to make your previews the “old fashion way”, let’s see what this script can do for you.

Hum… everything that i listed above, the script will do. Yes. It will check in your folder (yes it will go look in the folder so you don’t have to open tons of files), separate all the papers and the other stuff (normally they would be elements, right?), count your papers and elements. Why is it counting? Simply to check with you how many previews you need if it finds more than 20 papers for example. Of course you can still want everything in one preview. You have that option, but you can also have more than one. Then, the script will split the papers into how many previews you want, place the papers in the first preview, rotate them randomly (yet with the setting you want so if you don’t want any rotation, the papers will be straight), spread them more or less evenly depending on how many papers will be in that preview. It can also add some basic shadows if you want. At this point, the script will let you have one previews with only the papers and will start another one to add all the elements it found in the folder and repeat the process of opening, resizing, copying and pasting the elements on top of the papers.

Now, if you wanted more than one preview, the same thing will be repeated. The fun thing with this script is that, once you answered the few questions at the start, you can go, have yourself a coffee, go check your emails, and when you come back, all the previews are done. You simply have to rearrange the elements where you want them (yeah, the script does not have very fancy taste as far as disposing elements in a preview!).

Do you find that left to right placement of the papers is boring? The script gives you other options, like right to left, upward, downward and diagonally (from any of the 4 corners). This should help you get very dynamic and not-so-boring previews from one project to the next. See other ways that papers can be placed.

This script is available at Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

As usual, you have a chance to win this script. This time, check out this thread in the DST forum and you have to guess how long this script took to place everything in a kit of 54 papers and 174 elements into 3 previews on my computer. The closest guess will win the script.

Thanks to Nathan’s Designs for allowing me to use his products to illustrate the result of this script.

New Script – Chipboard

August 4, 2018May 21, 2010 by Cassel

Convert any shape into a chipboard element. You can create only a border, or a full surface of chipboard. You can have some colors show through, as if your wood was stained, or even add some “burnt” designs as a signature, if you want.

What can you do with this script? Frames, tags, alpha, date elements, and many more.

If you want a chance to win this script, go over DST in the Happy Place section, here, and add your name. Remember to post also an idea of something that you could do with this script. After all, if you win it, you will use it, won’t you?

This script is available at Creation Cassel, and Do It Digi.
