New script – Foliage 2

With spring weather, hopefully coming soon, why not create some flowery foliage in any shape you want? It could be letters, digits, symbols, preset shapes, or hand-drawn vector shapes.

You get 5 options for different flowers/foliage: four with flowers and one with only greenery.

You will get matching picture tubes with shadowed and unshadowed versions of the plants used in the script.

New Picture tubes – Diamond Chains

Many years ago, some gold and silver chain picture tubes were added to the store and they were a hit as they were among the most popular new directional tubes. Over the years, different types of chains were added and this time, we wanted to add some bling to anyone's project.

These new picture tubes are from diamond chains. Various designs include a variety of diamond-incrusted chain links.

For a sampler, I created two frames using different diamond links. You can use those frames to showcase your favorite photo or a quote, or even some journaling on your project.

New script – Photo Zigzag

It is always interesting to use an actual photo and use it to create background papers since they will perfectly match.

This script will use random sections of the photo and create seamless tiles with a zigzag pattern. You can use those tiles in any scale you want to fill any larger canvas. You can generate up to 20 tiles in one run. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

As a sampler, I used this St-Patrick photo to generate 6 seamless tiles. All the tiles are 400 pixels wide but of different lengths. They all show some greens but also the white and orange from the Irish flag. This is perfect for you St-Patrick projects. If you find the colors too bright, you can blur them or desaturate them to suit your projects.

New script – Slipped In Corners 1

You can simulate the old method of fastening photos in albums but without actually cutting the background.

This script will use a duplicate of the active layer (where you have your photo) and will create an effect similar to slipped-in corners. You get four options for the shape of the cutout. The end result will not cut anything from the background so you will be able to move the photo wherever you want on your project.

As a sampler, I used the dimensions of a standard 7x5 photo, and ran the script on a black rectangle. The script treated the rectangle as a photo, and now, you can replace the rectangle by your own photo. Convert it to a mask if you want, but you can also just trim it. More interesting for you, you can move the linked layers to place the photo somewhere else on the page. Build the rest of the page as you wish with papers under it and elements on top.

New script – Periodical

I have seen someone wear one of those t-shirts where individual tiles spelled out a meaningful word. I was wondering how to create those tiles for any word a user would want. And I did manage to code a script that will use any word you give to generate individual tiles.

The script also allows you to get four different styles with those tiles so they could fit your project.

For a sampler, I created the tiles to spell out the words ADORABLE and TECHNICAL. Each tile has a transparent background so you can add your own, and customize them further.

New script – Photo Circle Template

You might be able to get some ready-made templates to showcase your photos but how about creating some that will perfectly match what you need?

This script will create a template with 6 to 16 repeats of a specific shape. You can choose one of the included shapes, or draw your own for a different effect. Each area will be converted into a mask group to make it easy for you to add your photos.

New picture tubes – Decorative Icing 4

If you like to decorate cakes or even want to showcase some dessert, you can use these picture tubes to add a sweet decoration to your page.

These are incremental picture tubes which means they will create a regular repetitive shell design following your cursor, as if you had used a piping bag! And if you want a nice even shape, you can use a vector path to apply them to.

For a sampler, I created two frames using chocolate flavors: one is darker chocolate and the other is likely more milk chocolate. Each frame is in PNG format and about 2600 pixels wide.

New Brushes – Punches B

This set of brushes will allow you to paint or cut intricate designs in the middle of a paper (or a photo). Create cutouts away from the edges and corners.

You can also use the UNerase function to re-add paper where the punches would otherwise remove it. You can then customize the designs even further.

You get 10 different designs, mostly using diamonds and squares.

As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout and one with cutouts on the ends. One has a heart shape punched out, while the others are blank for you to add anything else you want. The design can even be cut from actual paper/cardstock using a cutting machine. You can colorize these strips any way you want. Each "bookmark" is 600x3000 pixels long and can also be used as an element on your next project.

New script – Bow #24

Yes, this is another bow script, but honestly, who can have too many different bows in their stash? This script will generate a bow that will be kind of droopy.

It will use a 200-pixel ribbon. The end result will be grouped (so you can resize it if you want) and unmerged (so you can tweak it if you need to).

New script – Pencil Sketch 2

If you want to convert a part of your photo into a "technical" pencil sketch drawing, this script will help you with it. You can use any image and any section to convert.

The script will create a brownish base paper, but you can also use your own, in any color, with any texture.

All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak each of them as you want, erasing sections, colorizing them, etc.

o, sketch, As a sample, I used pictures of isolated flower clusters and ran the script. I added a separate frame and removed the "technical" drawings as they didn't seem to fit with the theme. Each card is 4x6 and has enough space for you to write a sentiment, a quote, or a message.
