New tubes – Icicle Light Strings

January 12, 2021December 22, 2017 by Cassel

Icicle Light String tubes for Paintshop Pro 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?).

New script – Cutout Label

January 13, 2021September 29, 2017 by Cassel

How would you like to get a fun, unique label to use as a title or tag on your project? If you are looking for some ready-made ones, it might be hard to find the perfect one, with the text you want, or the size you want.

This script will allow you to create that, and even more, you can use it with a cutting machine to embellish your paper craft projects.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what word or phrase would you first use with this script (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

As a sample of what can be done with this script, I created 4 labels with the seasons for you to use. They are 600 pixels in height so you can size them down if needed. If you have a cutting machine, you can also use it to embellish your paper projects.

As they are in greyscale, you can colorize them any color you want, or using the Transparency lock, you can replace the grey by a gradient or pattern too.

New script – Mask Maker

January 13, 2021September 23, 2017 by Cassel

Do you sometimes find some interesting masks, but they are the wrong shape or the wrong orientation?

Do you want to create something unique to showcase your own photos?

This script will help you create a unique mask in any shape with any design you want. You can be very creative with it.

Once done, the mask can be saved and used over and over again, later.

As a sampler, I am giving you the mask created for the preview. It is square and has some delicate flower designs on the edges, both inside and outside of the basic shape. This should allow you to showcase your photo with little interference from the cutouts.

The basic mask is 2000x2000 pixels but remember that it will adjust to your photo, whatever size it is.
