cass-christmasstrings Adding holiday decorations is always fun, and even better when you do it digitally.

With these strings, you can draw the string as long as you want, in any shape you want to suit your project or your element.

Create frames, decorate windows, or even wrap your relative in one of those.

Choose between bells, candy canes or stars in various Christmas colors. What will you do?

Grab those tubes in the store: Christmas Strings

This week, for a sampler, I used several products from the store to create a decorated wooden window. I used the Wooden Window script, the Christmas lights and the Christmas strings.

Both the window AND the decoration are on separate files so you can use them separately or together.

Christmas Lights – PSP Tubes

January 18, 2021November 26, 2016 by Cassel

How about adding some Christmas lights to your project?

If you are looking for ready made elements, they might be the wrong color for your goal, or the wrong length, or the wrong shape.

But with these tubes, you can "draw" a light string any way you want.

You get a total of 12 sets to play with and combine if you want.

Get them in the store: Christmas Lights

Would you like to get those strings for free? Tell me, in the comments below, how you would use them in your project. I will pick a random winner among those who comment and will announce it 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 several oval frames using 5 monochrome sets and one multicolored set.

All the sets are drawn along the exact same path so you can overlap some frames to combine 2 or 3 colors that you might prefer.

All the frames are in PNG format.

New script – Letter Stamps

January 18, 2021November 18, 2016 by Cassel

You can now create a fun title or text using individual stamps that will display letters, digits, abbreviations or words.

You can create your own sets to match your kit (as a designer) or generate only the letters/digits/words that you need for your particular project. Choose the color and the fonts that suits your project or your palette.

The random patterns picked by the script will make a fun series of stamps.

You can create stamps for single letters or digits or use them for text elements that have more than one character.

New script – Playdough

January 18, 2021November 11, 2016 by Cassel

As a child, you likely have played with playdough (or plasticine). You must have created textures, poked your finger in it, rolled it to make snakes and used cookie cutters to create various shapes.

Now, with this script, you can replicate that fun effect with any shape and color (even multicolored elements).

The script will generate a texture based on a texture tile but also a random array of settings, making each run create a slightly different texture.

You can choose one of 4 thickness, which will be more appropriate with the size of the project, or the size of the individual element.

The script will even add a drop shadow on a separate layer. If you like that shadow, just keep it. If you prefer to add your own, you can do so too.

Get this script in the store: Playdough.

What kind of designs would you create with this script? Would you write text? Create long and twisted "snakes"? cut out shapes? Tell me in the comments below. I'll pick a winner and will announce it 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 a "hand drawn" alphabet for you. I used three fall colors.

Since several letters were created with overlapping segments, the drop shadows were added to each of them.

What project will you crate with those?

New script – Custom Kit Labels

January 18, 2021November 4, 2016 by Cassel

If you are creating kits, you will want to use this script to create a variety of labels in just a few seconds. Keep the ones that you like, and discard the others.

If you are just using a ready made kit, you can create a few labels based on the papers of your project. Pick the one or two that you prefer and you will get a perfect match.

You can choose any paper, any size, any shape, and have any color in the center. The script will create a variety of labels with random combinations of the different options you will have picked.

You can get this script in the store: Custom Kit Labels

As a sampler, I ran the script using 5 papers from the kit Enchanted Autumn from Marisa Lerin. This set includes 15 different labels, ranging in size between 600 and 1000 pixels. Some are round, some are oval, some are square and some are rectangular.

New script – Neon Outline

January 18, 2021October 29, 2016 by Cassel

Have you ever wished to see your name in big neon letters on a marquis? Now, you can get exactly what you wished for.

This script will convert a line drawing or solid shape into a neon outline.

The result can be any color you want. Of course, simple designs will work better.

As a fun addition, the script will create two versions of the neon tube: one will be lit, and one will be off.

As a sampler, this week, I created a few elements on the Halloween theme. I just found some shapes, and chose to create a simple outline.

Each element is a lit neon, and is about 1000 pixels wide.

They are in PNG format.

New script – Split Text

January 18, 2021October 22, 2016 by Cassel

Have you ever wanted to create a wordart with half of the text in negative from the rest? It is not too hard to do manually, but it requires accuracy. And then, if you want to create a series, it is longer.

This script will make this process very fast and easy.

The script will let you choose any text, and any font. You can separate the text any way you want in two lines. Then, the magic will happen and the script will split the text either horizontally, vertically or diagonally to create the cutout effect.

Once done, everything will be merged. If you want to colorize the end result, add a bevel, add a texture, etc. it will be up to you.

Get this script in the store: Split Text

What word or phrase would you want to use to create a split text wordart with this script? Tell me in the comments below. I will pick a winner that 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).

How about a way to date your layouts? Whether you are making a Project Life album, or you just want a fun way to identify when those pictures were taken, here are some split months. Each one is about 420 pixels in height, and the width will depend on the text.

If you want to colorize then, you can do so to match your project. Add a texture if you want. Add a grungy look with some brushwork, etc.

New script – Laser Cut Doilies – Rectangle

January 18, 2021October 15, 2016 by Cassel

Who has too many doilies? In the last few weeks, you got scripts to help you create circular and square doilies, but with a bit of math, I managed to code a script to allow for doilies that have different sizes in height and length. That is really adding another level of flexibility for your projects.

You can create doilies a wide as 7200 pixels, which would span the width of a double page layout.

It works just like the script to create square doilies but will duplicate the segments unevenly to match the size you want.

Get this script: Laser Cut Doilies - Rectangle

Would you want to win this script? Tell me what is the largest size you can think you could use for your doilies (and what you would use them for, in that size). I'll 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).

This week, i made three rectangular doilies, and i am offering them to you. They are all in png format so you can use them with other programs than Paintshop Pro. You can also colorize them if you want. The shadows are only for the preview. There is a slight bevel only.

New script – Laser Cut Doilies – Round

January 18, 2021September 23, 2016 by Cassel

Laser cut doilies are delicate paper products that offer a great variety of designs and patterns. However, in the digital world, the number of such designs is limited.

Using this script, you can create your own, unique at each run of the script.

Draw series of dots to create fun designs. Add some fine lines. Use a solid color or a gradient.

The script will turn a tiny design of yours into a full size element that you can use in various projects.

Beware: this script is addictive!

As a sample of what this script can do, I am offering you a set of 6 doilies that i created while testing this script. I have to say that this IS addictive.

I even include a colored version of one design that uses a blue gradient. I think it is pretty neat!

They are in png format, so they can be used in most graphic programs. They are all about 2000 pixels in diameter.

New script – Triangles

January 18, 2021September 16, 2016 by Cassel

Triangle patterns are basic designs that are timeless. Change the size and the colors, add outlines or not and you can get a wide array of different seamless patterns.

Using those seamless tiles, fill any size paper to create matching background for your various projects.

Pick from up to 6 different colors and generate up to 20 tiles in a single run. You can choose to have square tiles or rectangular ones for yet, a different look. Since the outline of the triangles can be hidden, emphasized, changed color, thickness or even linestyle, the possibilities are endless.

Grab this script in the store: Triangles

Each tile is 600 pixels in size so you have ample opportunity to resize the tiles to your need.
