New script – Starburst 2

July 19, 2019 by Cassel

Starburst pattern maker script for PaintShop Pro

Creating a starburst pattern manually is easy but time-consuming but sometimes, that is what we want: distinct rays instead of the smooth gradient.

This script will turn ANY gradient into a number of distinct rays. You choose the gradient. You choose the number of repeats. You choose the location of the focus point. And you choose how many rays you want to create. Each run will result in a full-size paper of 3600x3600 pixels which you can easily resize as needed.

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 three full-size papers with some summer-y color gradients. You get three starburst papers and three matching gradients papers.

New script – Zigzag Ribbon

July 12, 2019 by Cassel

Using a straight ribbon and turning it into a zigzag with multiple folds can be a fun way to use the same ribbon in different ways on the same layout or to create consistency between several layouts in a project.

This script will take care of all the tedious tasks of measuring, cutting, rotating and aligning all the pieces to create a continuous zigzag ribbon element.

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 started with a very long ribbon (5000 pixels) that I painted with a gradient. I thought it would be fun to see the gradient through the various folds. I repeated the effect with a different gradient, so you end up with two zigzag, but also the matching straight ribbons so you can use them elsewhere on your project.

New script – Pizza

Now, it is your turn to have a pizza in the shape you want, whether it is a crescent moon, a heart, a star or any other shape.

With a choice of 4 crusts (parmesan, poppy seed, sesame seed and cheese) you can have a delicious pizza for your party related projects. In addition, various toppings are included in the zip file in Picture Tubes format so you can pick and choose which ones you want and how much you want too.

And those toppings could also be added to your Hamburger.

New script – Little Bow

June 28, 2019 by Cassel

Who can say they have too many bows in their stash? Nobody! And these tiny bows are delicate and can be incorporated into just any project, cluster, or even on a photo itself.

You can generate little bows from any ribbon, but also from any paper, which makes this script very versatile: use it to create bows to go with your next kit or to create bows for your project using a paper you just created.

Get this script in the store: Little Bow

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use "little bows" like these (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 generated a ton of little bows from papers from an old kit I had (Splashes of Sunshine from Bernadette Hunt). I liked the colors on the 4 papers. Since they were full size, I resized them to 2000x2000 to keep some of the brushes imprint visible on some of the bows. I generated many more but kept a dozen for you among those that had some interesting patterns to them.

New script – Points

June 21, 2019 by Cassel

Creating random shapes for one's project might be easy but the randomness, sometimes, is not as random as one would want simply because we tend to do things in similar ways over and over again. That is why this script can become a time saver as it will REALLY create random shapes for zigzags on separate layers and then, you pick and choose which ones you want to use and discard the rest. Easy!

You can then use those shapes as templates, for clusters, borders, frames, masks, etc.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you could use these shapes 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).

As a sampler, I used one of those shapes and overlayed it on a white layer. Once they were merged, I added a gaussian blur and now, that shape can be used as a mask.

New script – Layered Cake

June 1, 2019June 1, 2019 by Cassel

Whether you have a birthday theme or other celebration, you might want to have a unique cake to add to your graphics project. But other than the traditional birthday cake, what do you have?

This script allows you to create a unique cake, in any shape, in any color, with infinite layering combinations.

In the end, the layers can be merged or left unmerged for you to tweak your baking even more.

Get it in the store: Layered Cake

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what is your favorite cake flavor (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).

I baked all day to give you this delicious multi-layered rainbow cake, complete with colorful icing.

Once I created the cake with the various layers and icing, I created one last layer of icing that I moved on the top. I added some shading and to make the icing between the layers a bit irregular, I ran the Warp Brush along the edges, which gives a more realistic look. Then, adding a small shadow gives the impression of that icing oozing out of the layers.

New script – Datestamp #7

May 24, 2019 by Cassel

Datestamps can be used obviously to write a date but you can be creative and add something different like a location, a greeting, or a particular event.

This script allows you the versatility to choose any text, any color and any font.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what you would write on such a datestamp (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

New script – Slats

May 19, 2019May 18, 2019 by Cassel

Using slats on a photo is a unique way to showcase it, but it can be tedious to create manually. Furthermore, if you want to showcase a particular area of the photo without cutting it off, you can no longer use a ready-made template as it might not suit your specific image or size or preference.

This script will create slats but you will start by setting the "untouched" area and the slats will be added left/right or up/down that main selection. And you get more options for the creation of those slats. Finally, the script will also add a set of frames that you can keep or not, or customize with a different color, with additional effects, etc.

Get this in the store: Slats.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you have ever used slats 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 this template for you. It will help you showcase an element that would be off center. You can mirror it too, if your element is on the right.

You can change the color of the frame, add a bevel or other textures. You can add shadowing if needed.

For the background, you can simply use a solid color from your image or a pattern that matches. Or you can duplicate your photo and move that duplicate to the "background" layer and play with the opacity, the color, etc. for another unique display.

New tubes – Seed Beads 3

May 10, 2019 by Cassel

Seed beads are fun elements that can be used to add some pizzazz to a project, but adding them one by one is quite tedious if you want to have a lot of them. And if you are looking for "ready-made" sprays, they might not match the color you want, the size you want or the shape you want. But using these picture tubes, you simply have to drag your cursor where you want the beads and they will just appear.

And if you want a continuous string of beads, you can also do that by using the directional version of one of those 6 colors.

Get them in the store: Seed Beads 3

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you would more likely use the random tubes or the directional ones (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 it is Mother's Day (in North America) this coming Sunday, I created these two gold and silver charms for a special mother in your life. I created in two different spellings to accommodate different ways people call that special woman. The charms are about 1500 pixels, so they can be sized down as needed to fit your project.

New script – Decorated Eggs 2

April 17, 2021April 19, 2019 by Cassel

With Easter coming, you might want to create some holiday invitations or maybe you will want to embellish the photos you will take with the kids running around, looking for eggs.

Creating and decorating eggs, even digitally, can be tedious (at least it is not messy), but with this script, it will take only a few seconds. You can choose various options, whether you want monochrome eggs or rainbow colors. And with the random function integrated into the script, you will have different eggs every time.

Use solid colors or even gradients or patterns for unique results.

This is a second script to create decorated eggs and the designs are different than for the first script.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what if you ever decorate eggs, and if so, how did you do it (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 help you out, I created a dozen eggs that you can use to build some clusters or to line them up at the bottom of your next frame. Using bold colors, those eggs should go well with just about any Easter projects.
