New tubes – Two tone chain tubes

August 4, 2018October 15, 2010 by Cassel

Recently, you had the opportunity to get some gold chain links, and some silver chain links. Now, you can get both. All those tubes allow you to create wonderful jewellery, frames, or other decorative elements. Place the tubes manually, or use a preset shape and apply the tube on it with Gary Barton’s free Vector Tube script. You can add charms, ribbons, or any other decorative elements.

Those tubes are only useable with Paintshop Pro. You can get them in my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiscrapWarehouse.

And for a chance to win those, you can go add your name to the RAK thread in the DST forum. Anyone can participate as you can expect a surprise just for posting there. Just tell me what chain model is your favourite of the 10 in the preview.

Now, i bet you are used to get a free sample with each of my new releases. Well, you might need to wait for tomorrow, as i ran out of time. Come back tomorrow for something. Since the freebie is not done yet, you have a chance to tell me what kind of freebie you would like to see with those chain tubes. Who knows? maybe you will get your wish! Just post in the comment for your suggestions.

New Script – Custom Calendar

August 4, 2018October 7, 2010 by Cassel

It might be a good time for you to plan to make some 2011 calendars for Christmas presents or for yourself. This script will let you create a base for a calendar that you can customize with the format of the boxes but also their look. You can floodfill them, outline them, add a tube, a shape, a cutout, use any color, gradient, pattern. Then, you can choose any color and font for the dates, various formats for the days (in any language). Create similar calendars for each months, or change colors, or accents, or designs. Use this calendar to create desktop, wallpapers, plain calendars, or even to place in your Project 365 album!

You can get this script in my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

And if you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum.

Now, you probably would like to get a closer look at the result of this script, so i made up this desktop calendar for you. The zip file includes 3 formats. This calendar was made using elements from KimericKreation.

If you would prefer to have a French calendar, Guyloup has made one with this script and it can be downloaded on her blog, here.

New script – Flip It UP

August 4, 2018September 30, 2010 by Cassel

This new script will give VOLUME to your layouts and make your elements… STAND OUT. You can flip any text, design, shape in many ways. You can flip the top, the bottom, both, or flip from the middle. You can flip toward the left, the right or the center. Also, YOU decide where you want the fold to be, as it will not necessarily need to be in the center of the element. The script will also provide you with a shadow on a separate layer. You can copy the paper below, or cut out from it for even more creative use.

How flexible is that script? How many ways can you think of using it?

This script is available in my stores at Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrapWarehouse.

And if you want a chance to win this script, you can go add your name to this thread in the Happy Place of the DST forum, and i will draw for a winner on Monday night.

In the mean time, i have a little something for everyone. Here is a set of three arrows for you to use. They are layered PSD files so the shadow can be modified as you wish. Each arrow is about 800-900 pixels long. I am sure you can find some very creative ways to use those.

New script – Template resizer

August 4, 2018September 24, 2010 by Cassel

Do you create templates? Do you use templates? Do you want to offer templates in square AND rectangular formats for your customers? Do you sometimes find a great template but it is not in the format you like to scrap? This script will be a useful tool for both scrappers and designers. In seconds, it will turn a standard 12 x 12 layered template into a rectangular one (horizontal or vertical) or vice versa. Of course, you will still have some tweaking to do especially if some elements have a particular alignment, spacing or overlapping, but most of it would be done.

You can find this script in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and Digiscrap Warehouse.

This script would be great in combinaison with the Template Maker and the Layer Separator.

If you want a chance to win this script, just go add your name to the thread in the Happy Place and tell me if you usually scrap with square or rectangular format.

New Script – Custom Sequins

September 21, 2019September 17, 2010 by Cassel

Create a string of sequins with the color or colors you want. You can create flat or facetted sequins, with a solid color, monochrome color, variegated colors or even iridescent colors. Then, you get a string of directional sequins that you can use in any direction, to draw with, to color with, to write with or place anywhere you want. Play with the steps to have the sequins tightly placed or more spread apart.

You can get this script in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrap Warehouse.

And if you want a chance to win this script, just go add your name to the RAK thread at DST. Tell me what comes to your mind when you hear of the word “sequins”. I will draw for a winner on Monday night.

Now, just for the fun of it, here is a little something made entirely with sequins created with this script. It is about 3500 pixels wide so you can use it in just about any layout you want, by sizing it down. It is a png format so useable with just about any program.

New tubes – Zip it All Up

August 4, 2018September 10, 2010 by Cassel

If you like to use zippers and can never find the right length, shape, format, then you will be in luck because this is a set of TUBES. And you know what tubes can do: you can draw with them wherever you want. That means that using them, you can draw any length of zipper, and even have them curved in the fanciest way you want. This contains 4 set of zippers. Each set has 3 tubes (closed teeth, left teeth and right teeth), a layered closure and matching pull. It is up to you to use the pull that is included, or create your own, since the closure is layered and you can insert anything in-between.

These are available in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrap Warehouse.

Do you want a chance to win this whole set? Go add your name to this RAK thread in the DST Forum. Don’t forget to give me ideas on how one could use zippers in a scrap page.

Now, you might want to play with one zipper and see what you can do with that? Here is your chance as i have this 3000 pixels long sample for you. It does include shadows as the element was pretty layered. Hopefully you can find some use for it?

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

If you use this zipper, i would really love to see how creatively you can use it, so show it to me!

New product – School Theme Text Path

August 4, 2018September 3, 2010 by Cassel

Do you have some school related layouts to do? Would you like to add some journalling within particular school related shapes? Now you can do it with these text paths. You can use them on their own, using the detailed instructions included, or you can use them with the Text Wrapping script that will do most of the work for you (of course, YOU still have to compose the text!)

You get 12 paths with matching shape templates. You can keep the lines or hide them. You can use the templates to add some contrasting papers or create an outline. Or you can simply not use them at all.

They are available in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi and DigiScrap Warehouse.

And for a chance to win this set, go add your name to the RAK thread at DST. You still have until Monday night to add your name.

Nadine has played with some of those shapes and did this lovely layout using the globe shape/path. Isn’t that gorgeous? She used Merkeley Designs' Hey Lady and It's Pink.

New product – SIlver chain tubes

August 4, 2018August 28, 2010 by Cassel

If you are not a gold type of person, maybe silver will suit you better? Of course, you can still have both! These picture tubes will help you create delicate or ordinary silver chains. The step is set to give you the look on the preview, but you can surely experiment and get different result. Why not? This set includes 10 different tubes to install in your tube folder and to use just like a pen: draw anywhere, and create a chain as you draw. The zip file also includes a flare (and this flare is a little different than the one in the Gold Chains set so, no duplicate).

These tubes are available in my store: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi. Remember that the sale price is in effect only until Sunday night.

In case you would want a chance to win this set, you can go over to this thread in the DST forum and add your name to the thread, telling me which chain you prefer.

How about a little sampler? Check out these. They are 4000 pixels long chains. Use them to attach charms, or hold any other precious elements. They are in png format so anyone can use them.

New script – JPG Bleed

August 4, 2018August 14, 2010 by Cassel

If you ever wanted to print your layouts either for individual pages or in a photo book, you needed to know how to add some “extra” margin around your design. Have you ever wondered why printers will ask you to add some margin, just to trim them after? To put it simply, it is too hard to be perfectly exact when trimming the paper, and if the cutter is just a few pixels short of the edge, you will get a tiny unsightly white line along that border. Having the paper or the design wider where the printer can cut in, will make sure that there is no such white line. But what if you dont add such a margin (called “bleed”)? The risk is that it will trim INSIDE your margin and you MIGHT loose some details if they are on the edge (like fine borders, journaling, etc.).

All that to tell you why it is important to have a bleed around your pages before you send to print. But what if you did your whole layout, and forgot to add the bleed? If you still have the layered file, it should be fairly easy to enlarge the background paper while leaving the more meaningful details intact. But what if you do not have those layered formats, for whatever reason? This script will take any jpg image and add a margin around it, in matching colors. You even have the option to choose different margin for each side so that you can match the specifications required by any printing service.

Someone mentioned that she had made paper scrap pages and photographed them. Of course, this will give only a flattened image, with no margin. This script would be perfect for her, dont you think?

This script is available in my stores: Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

If you want a chance to win this script, just go add your name to the RAK thread at DST and tell me why you need this script. I will draw for a winner Monday night.
