New script – Carpet texture

June 18, 2021 by Cassel

Carpet texture script for PaintShop Pro Do you sometimes wish you had a carpet background for a renovation or a decoration-themed project?

This script will allow you to convert any shape into a carpet. It could be letters, numbers, preset shapes or even designs you might have drawn by hand.

You can also choose any solid color, gradient or even patterns for your carpet.

There are 8 different textures you can choose from or you can let the script pick one at random for a surprise effect.

New script – Button Machine 3

June 12, 2021 by Cassel

Buttons are often used in projects, whether it is to "fasten" elements, add to clusters or simply decorate a page, we always look for something new. This script will allow you to create up to 20 buttons in one run, and you can choose any color palette, so it will match your project.

All the buttons have a sort of embossed design, making them different than previous button machine products.

As a freebie, I ran the script with a 6-color palette and generated 20 different buttons. Then, I thought of kids using a bunch of buttons to make frames, whether it is for an end-of-school project, Mother's Day, or just for fun, so I created such a frame with those 20 buttons (and a few duplicates). You get the frame and all the buttons so you can create matching decorations with the same buttons

New tubes – Hedges

June 4, 2021 by Cassel

In order to use hedges on your projects, you might have to rely on ready-made ones. Unfortunately, those might not be the length or the shape you need.

These tubes will generate a 1000 pixels high hedge along any grounds you want, whether they are straight or uneven. And you can "draw" them as long as you want. Each one will be slightly different as there are dozens of random "columns" that the program will pick from.

You also get the "individual" picture tubes, if you want to add the same greenery in smaller areas.

Get them in the store: Hedges

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you would use a hedge in a project (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 created a lattice frame and added some of the "individual" picture tubes (since you would not see it if it were a full-height hedge! The full frame is a bit more than 1200 pixels per side. Use it to frame a photo or a quote or even some journaling.

New script – Glitters C

May 28, 2021 by Cassel

Using a glitter tile can be a quick way to add glitters to a project, however, if you need that on a large surface, you might end up with a repeated pattern (even if it is seamless).

Glitter tiles would not allow you to add glitters in a "gradient" way, nor to use a pattern. This is what this script can do for you. Instead of creating a TILE that will repeat, it will generate glitters on the whole surface of a layer, the same size as your active image. This means there will never be a visible seam or repeat. And you can use it with a gradient or a pattern too.

Get it in the store: Glitters C

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have even used balloon letters in a project (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 generated a golden glitter sheet and used it to cut out a simple alphabet. Each letter is about 350 pixels. The original glitters paper (3600x3600 pixels) is also included for you to use to create other matching elements.

New Script – Balloon Text

May 21, 2021 by Cassel

Now, for any type of celebration project, you can add balloons while writing a word, a number, a date or any other message.

This script will create a balloon from any character, in any font (of course, simple and bold fonts work best but you are not limited to them). You can choose any color, or even a gradient or a pattern.

The script will create a knot but you will have to put it where you like it.

For a sampler, I created a complete alpha (uppercase only) of red balloons. Each balloon is about 600 pixels high.

New script – Nested Frames

May 14, 2021 by Cassel

In order to create evenly spaced nested frames, you will need a lot of calculations. And if the focus area is not in the very center of your image, it means calculating the spacing separately for four sides. That can be a real challenge.

This script will take care of everything for you, while you only have to select the number of frames, their thickness and colors. The rest is handled by the script.

At the end, the frames will be left on their own layer so you can add more effects to them (bevel, shadows, texture, etc.) or use those frames to select parts of the photo and give it more variations (saturation, lightness, colors, etc.)

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you ever used nested frames in the past (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 this week's sample, I created a set of nested frames to fit a 7x5 inch image. Since the frames are white and have no bevel or shadows, you can flip them, mirror them or rotate them to fit your photo. Add whatever effect you want to the frames or use them to apply effects to the photo.

Noticed that I had a little play on the preview: Although it might look like I cut the frames, I actually made some selection from the photo, promoted those selections to their own layer, and move that layer on top of the frames. This allows me to move the frames if needed, as they are still intact.

New script – Bingo Balls

May 7, 2021 by Cassel

Have fun with words and dates by writing them using bingo balls.

You can choose the font and the colors for the text and the balls, and write anything you want. This will be the perfect way to add titles for projects based around bingo or other games.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what is the most likely thing you would write with these balls (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sampler, I created a set of 11 bingo balls, for the 10 digits and a hyphen. I chose to use black and white so they would be neutral enough to be used in a variety of projects.

New script – Beads Maker

April 30, 2021 by Cassel

You can now create your own beads to perfectly match your project.

This script will randomly generate up to 15 beads using a color palette of up to 6 colors. Each bead will have a fine design on it and every bead will be slightly different.

Beads will range from 150 to 300 pixels in length.

New script – Starburst Template Maker

April 16, 2021 by Cassel

You can display your photos in regular square or rectangular shapes, but you can also use a starburst shape to make it a little different.

Creating your own template is always a bit time-consuming so this script will help you work faster. You choose how many photo spots you want to have, and the script will create a template exactly for that number. And furthermore, each photo spot will be turned into a mask group so you simply have to drop your photo on the correct layer and adjust the placement of the photo. No cutting involved.

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 created a template, just for you, with spots for 8 photos. Replace any of those photo spots by images but you can also replace them by patterned paper. Or you can play around with it as a template is just a starting point anyways.

New script – Foliage

April 9, 2021 by Cassel

It can be fun to turn various shapes into foliage or flowery bushes. This can be particularly suitable for garden-themed projects, whether it is a scrapbook page, a poster, or a card to someone with a green thumb.

This script will offer you five options for that vegetation texture: one is just foliage while the other four include flowery bushes.

This week, as a sample, I am offering you a full alphabet using the Hesperis flowers. Each character is about 700 pixels in height so you have plenty of room to resize them to suit your project.
