New script – Diamond Painting

April 28, 2023 by Cassel

Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.

The script will convert any image (or design) into a diamond painting. Of course, you won't have the physical texture to play with but it will only take you a few seconds to complete.

The zip file also includes picture tubes for the individual "drills" in case you want to add some in other locations.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever done diamond painting (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 freebie, I used some cute animal cliparts and converted them into diamond paintings. Each one is fairly large so you can size them down as needed.

New Picture Tubes – Colored Pearls

April 13, 2023 by Cassel

You can create gold and silver chains with various picture tubes available in the store, and now, you can add colored pearls to your jewelry box.

You get 12 sets of pearls, and each set includes 20 slightly different images so that a string of pearls won't be just multiple copies of the exact same image. Place them manually with your cursor or use the VectorTube script to place them precisely along a vector path.

Get them in the store: Colored Pearls

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what would be your favorite color for pearls, if you could choose any (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 sampler, I created a set of digits using the red pearls. Each digit is about 550 pixels high, so you can resize them as needed.

New script – Streaks

April 7, 2023 by Cassel

With graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.

You can apply this effect to any photo, in any of the four basic directions, and you can also have the ends of the streaks reach the edge of the image or not, for different effects.

Get this in the store: Streaks

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what photo would be suitable for this streaking effect (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 course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.

New font – Two-Tone Stitch 2

March 31, 2023 by Cassel

A new font has been added to the store. This time, it will allow you to use two colors of threads if you want, or simply showcase the layered effect of the stitches with the bevel and shadow.

Use those stitches in a straight line (like most "text") or along a path, like you would add "text on a path". You can choose any size: it won't be blurred or pixelated since it will be a vector. All the measuring is done for you so that the two layers will perfectly align.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have used layered fonts before (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, I created an oval frame with two sets of layered stitching for you in pink/lavender tones. The frame is in png format so it can be used in any graphic program.

New script – Travel Tag 2

March 24, 2023 by Cassel

Travel tags are one of those types of tags that can really mean a lot of things. Whether you actually traveled and want to showcase the various cities or airports you went to, or just want to use the tag as an element to add something more personal, this script will help you.

You can choose any color you want so it will be matching your project. You can write just about any text you want. There is even a rectangle reserved for you to add something yourself (you can even handwrite something if you want).

Tear off the bottom part if you want, and use the two sections separately.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have gathered travel tags of any kind from the store (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 four tags, one for each season. It is up to you to add dates or locations if you want.

New script – Decorated Eggs 4

March 17, 2023 by Cassel

It is always fun to have Easter Eggs to put in a basket, or as add-ons to a graphic project. This script is the fourth in the series and will let you create up to a dozen different eggs based on the colors you want and other options.

Each run of the script will create a different combination of designs and randomly selected colors from your palette.

Keep the eggs you like and discard the rest. Run the script again if you want more eggs.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have any of the other Decorated Eggs scripts from the store (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 sampler, I created a dozen eggs matching the colors of the sample for the previous similar script (so you have 2 dozen matching eggs).

New script – Triangles 3

March 10, 2023 by Cassel

Triangular shapes are easy to make and they can yield great results when used as a repeating pattern. However, the challenge is usually to mix and match the colors. This is what the script will do for you as it can generate up to 20 seamless tiles in one run, using any color palette of your choice.

The script will also leave the background color layer separate so you can change it or even use only the top layer if you want to cover a full size gradient with it for a completely different look.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what geometric shape you like as a 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).

For a sample, I generated 15 tiles (3 tiles for each of the 5 patterns) in pastel/Easter/spring colors. Use them at 100% scale or smaller if you prefer. You can also add a blur to the finished image if you want.

New script – Gelatine

March 3, 2023 by Cassel

Jell-O (R) has been around for many decades and has often been associated with fun, parties, and kids.

You can now turn any shape into a gelatine element to accompany your projects, whether it is a simple shape, a letter, a frame, or just colorful cubes all over.

You have the option to tweak the transparency of the shape at the end.

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 created a set of digits starting with a rainbow gradient. This seems cheery enough to be used in just about any project. Each digit is about 600 pixels high so you can resize them as needed. The set also includes a hyphen so you might be able to write a date.

New script – Bow #21

February 24, 2023 by Cassel

Bows are very versatile elements to use to decorate any project. From large bows to little ones, from single bows, to double or multiple, you have lots of options.

This script will create a simple bow from any straight ribbon that is at least 185 pixels thick. This way, you can match a straight ribbon used on the project.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how often you use bows on your 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).

For a sampler, I created four bows from four colorized ribbons in an Easter color palette. I used a ribbon from Marisa Lerin and colorized it four times, then ran the script four times. You get the bows AND the matching ribbons so you can combine them into a single project if you want.

New script – Offset Cutout

February 17, 2023February 17, 2023 by Cassel

In order to create a depth effect, you can use several cutouts in decreasing sizes along with large shadows. But doing it by hand can be tedious, which is why I created this script.

Starting with any vector shape, it will create all those layers for you. You can have them all centered but if you want a different effect, tell the script where you want the offsets to go and everything will be done for you.

In the end, you will have a layered template that you can customize with colors, patterns, or papers of your choice.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have tried to create offset cutouts before (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 sampler, I created a template for a folded card, 2100x3000 pixels with a round cutout. You can use it as a folded card by keeping it in full size of you can just use the bottom part to make it into a postcard, or a framed image.
