New script – Framed Mask

January 11, 2021February 23, 2019 by Cassel

PaintShop Pro script to create layered framed mask I have seen various masks made from apparent chaos of random frames while allowing the display of a single photo through all those frames. I knew how to create those manually, but figured it would be simpler for PSP users to have a tool to do all the work for them.

This script will allow you to either start with a "blank" project where all the frames will cover the center area of a full-size 3600x3600 image or use an existing photo, sized and placed in a specific location of the project and have the script create the frames over that photo. The options are numerous as you can create between 1 and 36 frames to cover that area. In the end, you get a layered template with a Mask group where you can just put your photo. No measuring, no drawing.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever used or created a similar type of mask for your 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 sample, I am giving you the same template created in the preview. It has unmerged layers so you can add shadows on the frames if you want, you can merge them all before adding shadows or add them individually. You can also change the frame colors, add a bevel, or tweak them as you wish.

What will you do with that?? I hope you show off your project.

New script – Heart Candies

January 12, 2021February 8, 2019 by Cassel

Now, you can create as many heart-shaped candies as you want, in any color you want. And they will also have random saying on them. With additional random features integrated into the code, each candy will likely be slightly different from each other.

Choose the color (or maybe a gradient?) to match your project or your photo.

New script – Dated

January 12, 2021February 1, 2019 by Cassel

Some cameras will automatically add a date on your photo and often, you might want to remove those dates to concentrate on the photo itself. However, in other situations, adding a date might be needed. If your camera took the photo while saving the EXIF information, this script will retrieve that date and add it on your photo. You get to choose whether you want the date on the left or the right of the photo and in which color.

Although adding this date to a single photo is possible and quite simple, the script can also add the date on all the photos in a particular folder. In one run!

Get it in the store: Dated

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether save the EXIF or not, with your photos (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 decided to play with a recent script, the Wooden Puzzle 2, to make you a Valentine theme puzzle. This is a .pspimage (so the file is fairly big) and each element is part of a group, so you can copy and paste it onto any other project, and since all the layers are unmerged, you can move the pieces around as you wish.

New script – Bow #14

January 11, 2021January 18, 2019 by Cassel

Who can say they have too many bows and ribbons? Not a scrapbooker! This script will let you tie a straight ribbon into a multi-loop bow, attached with a centerpiece. Each piece is left unmerged so you can tweak them separately if needed.

The script will also add a default drop shadow on the loops but all the shadows will also be left on separate layers so you can tweak them, adjust them or even replace them altogether.

Get it in the store: Bow #14

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you tend to use bows in your projects or not (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, this week, I used a starting ribbon from Janet Scott at Pixel Scrapper and modified it slightly (to make it straighter) and ran the script for the basic bow. Then, playing with the Hue map to change the colors from the base ribbon, I created 3 additional versions to run the script again. That will give you those 4 bows to use.

New script – Rusty

January 11, 2021January 12, 2019 by Cassel

You can easily use a rusty texture image to add rust to your elements or shape, but rust is not always the same, right? So you would need to have many different images to have different types of rust.

This script will randomly generate a rust texture in the yellow/orange tones that will be different for every single run of the script. So even if you are using the same starting shape, you will always get something different.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what element you would like to see rusted (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 freebie, I created half a dozen cogwheels (using the Cogwheel script too) and rusted them all. I added a plain bevel on the edges. Each cogwheel is 1000 pixels wide so you can resize them as needed.

It is a festive time, and sweets are everywhere. How about creating some delicious licorice to decorate your cakes, cookies or scrapbook pages?

New script – Word Clip

January 12, 2021November 30, 2018 by Cassel

Although paperclips can be common on various projects, they can also be boring. How about customizing your paperclip with a name, a date, a place or another message to make your project unique.

This script allows you to use any word you want, with any font and any color, gradient or pattern. Furthermore, you can have a thin or wide clip with 3 different shapes of clip. You can create an unlimited number of clips for any occasion.

Use the Interlacing technique to make sure you easily overlap your paperclip on the support you want to use.

New script – Wooden Puzzle 2

January 12, 2021November 23, 2018 by Cassel

This week, the script will let you create a puzzle from any element or design you want, whether they are letters, numbers, drawings, photos or shapes. Whatever you want on the puzzle, you can draw or paste.

You can still change the color if you want, but even better, you can attach elements together for example, if you want a whole word to be in a single puzzle piece or a pair of mittens, or two elements that normally go together (like the mug and the steam).

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).

This week, I created a full alphabet that you can use with any child theme project. You can even use the letters from the puzzle to spell out the name of someone (if they need more than one of the letters, add them in writing, so it is just like you would do in real life, missing one letter).

New script – Wooden Puzzle 1

January 12, 2021November 16, 2018 by Cassel

This script will allow you to create a custom-made wooden puzzle with any text you want. You can add a really unique look by choosing any font, and also any color, gradient, pattern or combination of those.

The end result will be on separate layers so you will be able to move each individual piece outside of the puzzle.

This is that time of year with the holidays coming up, and this sample puzzle will spell the word Christmas using a funky font. The whole puzzle is in .pspimage format, so you can move the individual pieces around. Furthermore, all the layers are grouped so you can copy and paste the whole puzzle onto another project. You can ungroup all the layers OR simply rearrange the pieces you want to move, above the group so they will display their thickness correctly.
