New script – Bow #12

January 12, 2021January 26, 2018 by Cassel

Bow script for Paintshop Pro You can never have too many bows to embellish your projects. And since you can now create them from your own ribbons, you will have a perfectly matching element to attach to the ribbons.

Tie this bow to a flower, a string, a frame, anything. Since the script ends with unmerged layers, you can easily insert elements inside the knot.

What will you do with it?

New Tubes – Crochet Lace Edge 3

January 12, 2021January 19, 2018 by Cassel

The Crochet Lace edges have been so popular in the past that I am back again with another set. These are extracted photos that needed to be edited to make them really seamless.

This time, however, not only you get tubes to be placed in a straight line, but you also will have 2 individual tubes that are directional, so you can place them around a circular shape, or along a curved path.

As a sample, I wanted to show you how the two directional lace tubes can be used to create circular elements.

I used both tubes to create a simple frame that you can combine with other elements like beads, sequins, papers, etc.

New tubes – Icicle Light Strings

January 12, 2021December 22, 2017 by Cassel

You might have those lights, at home, to decorate your windows or your tree, but now, you can do the same with your digital projects (and no electric cost).

These are picture tubes that you can use to "draw" the strings wherever you want, and however long you want them.

You get a total of 32 strings!

New Brushes – Corner Punches D

January 12, 2021December 9, 2017 by Cassel

In traditional paper scrapbooking, there are tools that allow the user to punch the corners into intricate shapes. They are great if you want to use the same size for all the projects you do. In digital scrapbooking (or card making), you now can use similar "punches" simply by using the eraser tool and those fancy "corner punches" shapes. This is the fourth set of those brushes.

Although they are meant to be used with the Eraser tool to cut out the shapes, you can also use them with the Brush tool to add a design instead of cutting it out, adding more versatility to these tools.

Get them in the store: Corner Punches D

In order to win these punches, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what project/element you would create with those punches (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, this week, I created this fun frame (and matching template so you can use it with other colors/papers/effects).

I started with a square image filled with black. I punched the four corners but slightly inside of the edge to leave that "frame" corner. Then, I duplicated that layer and rotated it by 45 degrees, which gave the 8 "corners". Since the two layers overlapped some of the holes of the other layer, I erased the area on each layer that was covering the holes of the other one. Once merged, I cut out the circle shape in the center to make the template. After that, it was just a matter of playing with the color and bevelling.

You can do the same with different punches.

New Tubes – Colored Petals

January 12, 2021November 25, 2017 by Cassel

Although it is easy enough to purchase extracted flower petals, it is tedious to place them where you want, and even more if you want to scatter them randomly.

These petals were also extracted but exported as picture tubes so that you can scatter them anywhere on your project, simply by dragging your cursor on your project.

This product includes 20 sets of petals in 10 colors: one set has no shadow, so you can add your own, and one has a slight shadow, mostly to give a 3D effect on petals that might be overlapping.

For a sample of these tubes, I created two frames made of petals. Each frame is almost 3600 pixels wide, so you can resize it as you need it.

New script – Paper Butterflies

January 12, 2021November 3, 2017 by Cassel

If you need to have some butterflies on a project, you might be able to extract photos of realistic ones, but maybe you would prefer to have some that perfectly match your kit, or your project.

This script will take your chosen papers and create random butterflies from them. The shapes will be slightly different from one to the next.

Tweak the end layers, change the color of the body, rotate them, add shadows and tweak those too for a fun 3D effect.

For a sample, I ran the script using the Birthday kit from Marisa Lerin, and tweaked the resulting butterflies to give them some 3D looks, in addition to changing the color of the body and adding an inner bevel.

Each butterfly has unique shadows that are included. Each one is in .png format.

New script – Layered Flowers 2

January 13, 2021October 27, 2017 by Cassel

Did you have a peek at the Layered Flowers script from last week? You could create a set of layered circles, but this week, you can create a set of layered papers cut into various shapes with points. Although you can decide how many points each shape will have, the script will randomly create those shapes to give you a unique result every time.

Just like the previous script, you can choose any papers of your stash, the number of layers, the number of "flowers" and whether you want the script to add a drop shadow.

Perfect to create a fun accent to match your kit or your project. Add a button, a gem, a brad or a staple in the center to hold all those layers.

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 this script, I used papers from the bundle Enchanting Autumn from Marisa Lerin. It includes a variety of "flowers" using different settings of the script: number of layers, number of points and regularity vs irregularities.

You get 10 flowers that you can use as is, or with the kit that you can get too.

New script – Layered Flowers

January 13, 2021October 20, 2017 by Cassel

If you had some traditional papers, you might want to cut out some circles and layer them to create a "flower" in the color of your kit or project. Doing that is tedious with paper, but also very tedious with digital ones.

With this script, it only takes you a few seconds to generate up to 10 different flowers from a series of papers of your choice. This is the perfect way to add an element that is a perfect match to your project. Add a staple, a button or any other decorative element in the center to "fasten" your flower to your project.

Get this script in the store: Layered Flowers

For a sampler, I ran the script with a few papers from a kit, Happy Birthday, from Marisa Lerin. You can get the whole kit for free, HERE.

Each flower is about 400 pixels wide and has 4 or 5 layers.

Since I used mostly basic color papers, these flowers can be quite versatile and usable in many projects.

New script – Scallop Pattern 3

January 12, 2021October 13, 2017 by Cassel

Scallops can be a fun design but other than getting a simple template that is a single color, you are limited in the options available. This script will allow you to create a variety of scallop outline patterns that will be either seamless or a full sheet of the size of your choice. Using that outline, you can add a background of any color, or even using a gradient.

This will give you many additional options to create custom designs for your projects or your kits.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what colors/color combination you would first create your scallop pattern (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

Since this is October, you might plan either a Halloween party or expect to take some Halloween pictures. This set of two seamless scallop tile will be perfect to create your paper or background. Since they are in .png format, you can add a custom color behind it.

New script – Burnt Edge

January 12, 2021October 7, 2017 by Cassel

Do you need the look of burnt edges around a particular element but other than doing it yourself, it seems really hard to find the right shape, or the right font or the right size for your own element?

Yes, you can do it yourself but if you are in a hurry, the script can do it for you in just a few seconds. It can work on any shape (it does not have to be a vector), any size (although you get better results with elements < 2000 pixels), any color. And furthermore, you can run the script on the same element/shape multiple times and get different results for every run. A truly random result!

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what element would you "burn" with this script (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, this week, I created a few paper pieces that were run through the script. I created those shapes simply with the freehand selection tool to give them a random shape right from the start. Of course, the script would burn the edges but I wanted something a little different.

You can use those pieces for journaling or to draw something (like maybe a treasure map?).
