New script – Broomstick

by

For a Halloween or witch-themed project, a broom is always welcome. But how do you get something custom? This script will yield a different result every time you run it, even though you get options to customize the broomstick by choosing the type and color of the handle, the color of the straw and the color of the string.

Furthermore, you can add text of your choice to be engraved on the handle!

New font – Decorative Stitches 2

by

You might already be familiar with dingbats, but very few fonts will replicate machine stitching. The Creation Cassel store is the only place where you can find those fonts. This time around, I created another set of 50 different stitches that you can add to your arsenal.

The zip file includes two versions of each of the stitches: one with clean edges and one with irregular edges.

For a sampler, I created a simple rectangular 7x5 inches frame made from a decorative (and basic) stitch. They are in greyscale, so you can colorize it however you want to match your project. Then, add a texture, a bevel, and a shadow to create that 3D effect. Showcase a photo or some text inside it.

New script – Cracked Paint 2

by

If you like the grungy style, this script will help you. It can turn any design, drawing, photo, or any flat element into a wooden item with cracked paint all over.

Every run of the script will yield a different result because the cracks will be in different shapes, and various random areas will be unaffected.

The end result will be left unmerged so you can apply additional effects if you want, or change the color of the wood base.

As a sample, I created a simple alphabet with Halloween colors and ran the script on each of those elements. You get a full alphabet of uppercase, and ten digits to match.

New script – Inked Edge 2

by

This script will quickly add an inked edge around any element, photo, or shape for you. It will look like a wet/watercolor ink that was added in three runs. The edges will be uneven all over and slightly more opaque on the very edges.

The inked border will be left unmerged from the base shape so you can actually use it separately if you want for a different effect.

In order to win this product, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you do use inked edges in some projects of yours (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!)

This week, I created a whole alphabet using the Fatty font in orange color with a brown edge. That would be very suitable for fall or Halloween themes.

New script – Pretzels

by

You can now have some custom-shaped pretzels to either write a title, make a frame, or draw an arrow.

You can use one of the three bases and three seasonings. And you can also choose how much seasoning to add. With the random feature integrated into the script, every run will yield a slightly different result, even if you start with the same design and choose the same options.

New script – String Bows

by

It is fairly easy to use a ready-made bow and maybe colorize it, but you still end up with the same shape, every time. Wouldn't you like to get more variety?

This script will generate slightly different shapes of a bow, and since it will use any picture tube you select, it will give you a lot of versatility. You can use any of the string picture tubes or rope picture tubes in the store. You can also try to use other tubes like pipe cleaners or garlands for different effects. The zip file will also include one greyscale string picture tube for you to use.

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 for this script, I ran it and used three different metallic rope tubes. You get three bows, about 800-900 pixels wide so you can resize them if needed.

New script – Quick Tile 3

by

To create patterns from photos is a great way to have matching colors for your papers. In addition, it is a great way to use "bad" photos, those out of focus, with odd colors, etc.

The script will create up to 25 tiles in just a few seconds. Some designs will be great, others, maybe not-so-great, but you can just discard those that don't suit you. And if needed, run the script again to generate more tiles. With the random feature integrated in the script, you will always get different results.

As a sampler, I created 10 seamless tiles using the same starting image as for the previous Quick Tile scripts. That means our tiles will match the other 20 patterns you can download.

New Brushes – Punches A

by

Punches for PaintShop ProThis 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 circles and curves.

As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout. One has the year 2023 cut out of it, while the other is 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 – Beads Maker 4

by

Decorated beads script for PaintShop ProAnother script will allow you to create a variety of decorated beads. This time, the beads will be a slightly different shape than the previous scripts. Furthermore, you can create monochrome beads in addition to the duotone ones. Different rotations will be associated with the correct bevel and shadows to give a more realistic effect.

You can create up to 15 beads in one run using up to 6 colors. The script will randomly combine those colors. Keep the beads you like and discard the others.
