New script – Beads Art

January 14, 2021June 2, 2017 by Cassel

Beaded element script for Paintshop Pro It can be fun to convert a simple clipart into a beaded element to add to a themed layout. You can do that with this script which will convert ANY image into a set of beads, all fused together.

Although you can use a full image or a photo, you will get more drastic results with brightly colored clipart or designs. Also, make sure you don't have fine lines like thin legs, antenna, hair, stems, etc. because they will just disappear. If necessary, remove those fine elements and just add them afterward, to the beaded result.

You can choose any color, any font, and any text. Since everything is left in unmerged layers, you can even change the colors of some elements, or add various designs in the center.

A great addition to all the other datestamp scripts available in the store.

New script – Slot Machine Alpha

New tubes – Chicken Wire

January 14, 2021May 6, 2017 by Cassel

If you want to create a rustic design, either as a background or an element, chicken wires might give you just that look.

You can use ready-made chicken wire pictures or vector designs, but here is a great tube that you can shape however you want, with just a draw of your cursor. Make it straight or not so straight, depending on what you want.

You get 12 different "colors" of wires with this set, so you can be even more creative than with regular ordinary wire.

Get this set in the store: Chicken Wire tubes.

In order to win this set of tubes, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us of one creative way you can think to use chicken wires in a digital 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 this frame (using the Wooden Frame script) and added some wires behind it. I thought that you could possibly add some clothespins and attach various photos or objects, but you could also have a photo placed behind, or even cut the wires and make it even more "rustic".

It is a png format so it could be used in various graphic programs.

New script – Tape Frame

January 18, 2021April 15, 2017 by Cassel

Although you might like to have an even frame make of straight ribbons, sometimes, you might want something a little less "clean", and if you worked with sticky tape, scotch tape, washi tape and such, you know that you MIGHT, occasionally have some unevenness to them.

This script will use with any straight "tape" and will create an uneven frame based on the dimension of the photo you want to frame.

Each length of tape will be randomly measured, and the folds will also be random. This allows you to run the same script and generate completely different frames every time. Furthermore, you end up with unmerged pieces so you can easily reuse them later.

To let you "play" with this frame, i created another one using the same tape as in the initial preview. I tweaked the shadows on the ends and included those shadows in the download. Each piece of tape is left on a separate layer (with its own shadow) so you can adjust the size of the frame. It has been made for a 7x5 photo, but if you want to use it on a smaller picture, you can just move the pieces inward.

New script – Honeycombs

January 15, 2021April 1, 2017 by Cassel

Have you ever tried to make a seamless honeycomb pattern? It is a bit challenging because you can't create a square tile that will be seamless. It has to be rectangular, and with the various color combinations, the rectangle can't always be the same size. That is a headache, and that is probably many people wanting a honeycomb pattern had to rely on pre-made templates. But that is still limiting, don't you think?

That is why I created this script. In fact, it was a real challenge in itself to code the script since everything we "think" and "see", has to be coded in mathematical formula. And the math is quite different from what is involved in a triangle or a square! In any case, i had to ask my son to help me with that math AND we had to use Google to confirm it. However, PSP had some little quirks that prevented me from using the straightforward calculations. Go figure!

But in the end, you get a script that will create a full page of honeycombs in various color patterns. You can have the individual hexagons in alternating colors (by row or by column) or you can have them randomly selected. But there is more : you can have a gradient (of any kind) drawn as a base and the honeycombs would pick the color of each individual location to make some very interesting effects.

Here are some more samples done with this script:

As a sample of what this script can do, I started with a palette of 3 spring colors: yellow, pink and purple, and generated four fun patterns for you. They are full size papers so you can cut them out, use them as frames, or just as a background for your next spring theme project.

New script – Hammered Metal

March 6, 2021March 11, 2017 by Cassel

If you like jewelry, you will love this script to create gold or silver elements.

You will get a hammered texture on your piece based on the black and white design you will start with: the white area will be hammered while the black area will stay smooth.

What can you create? You can use any design so your element can be any shape and any size. You can create tags, coins, word plates, frames and more.

As a free sample, I created some "tags" illustrating some common life events (first day of school, first car, graduation, new baby, new house, trip/retirement) that you can use for your various projects.

Each element is 500 pixels so you can size them down to fit your need.

New script – Custom Seal

January 18, 2021January 27, 2017 by Cassel

Do you like the look of a nice "official" seal to put on your project but can't find one in the color you want? Or would you like to find one that has the name of your child, or the name of the city you visited, or the specific date of your last vacation?

Of course, you can't find those in ready-made seals, but you can create your own with this script.

Use any color you want, any text, any design and even any font.

Grab this script in the store and start creating your own custom seals: Custom Seal

Since February is coming, and so is Valentine Day, I decided to create a few seals that you could use either on scrapbook pages about your loved one or on custom card or design you might create for him/her.

They are about 1000x1000 pixels so they are large enough to use as is or size down if you need to.

New script – Puffy Paint

January 18, 2021December 16, 2016 by Cassel

Now, you can use your Paintshop Pro to add a fun line of puffy paint around an edge of a shape or a letter.

You can replicate that uneven look of puffy paint in various colors or thickness, with this script.

Add an outline around any shape or draw your own lines and convert them to puffy paint look.

Every run of the script will give you a different look because of the random feature coded in the script.

For a chance to win this script, tell me what element or design you would like to create using puffy paint. I will announce a winner 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 of what you can get with this script, I created a set of digits in "white". You can easily fill them in with the color of your choice for a different look.

Since it is white, you can also consider them as icing digits. And why not fill them with our own Sprinkles?

Each digit is about 400 pixels high in PNG format.

A complete set will be available in the newsletter, so keep an eye on it, this coming Sunday.
