Starting today, i am a guest designer at A Cherry on Top. To celebrate this, i have a nice promotion for you, for the first week. I will give you a coupon worth 50% of your first purchase. So have a look around my store, create a wish list and when you think you have enough, go through checkout. I will then send you a coupon for the value of 50% of that first purchase. Isn't it worth it?
I have lots of original, and high quality scripts for PSP but also some special fonts.
This month, our blog Train will give you a fantastic mega kit
in those gorgeous fall colors.
Almost 100 stations await you and you will get all this. See what you will be getting along the way:
Due to all designers being from different time zones, please be patient and all links and blog posts will be active soon. And this is the part you will get here. Here is my part of the Blog Train

Enjoy your download, leave comments, and follow the train to the next station.
If you get lost along the track, just visit the central station here.
Use any shape, color, size, design, and run the script. You also get to choose how long you want the garland to be (up to 8000 pixels). The script will then create that nice cutout effect where all the pieces touch each other to make a long garland.
The script will also create a matching template (same size, same shape) in greyscale in two open layers: one for the "paper" and one for the "folds".
Works with PSP 8 and up

Have a look at what Guyloup did with this script.
Now, best for last. If you want a chance to get this script FREE, hop over at DST, and add your name to this thread. A random winner will be chosen Sunday night.
Do you remember when we were little, how we'd fold a long piece of paper and cut out a basic person shape to unfold a long row of dolls holding hands? Well, my next script will allow you to do just that, with any shape.
This samplers can give you a little taste of it. The zip includes one colored maple leaf cutout, that is about 4000 pixels long (so it is long enough for you to place it at an angle on your page). It also includes a psd layered template. That way, you can use your own paper, or hand paint one without affecting the "folds" effects.
You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page. And keep coming back as i will let you know when the Paper cutout script is released (likely later today).
Look what Guyloup has done with this sampler (click on the image to view it larger). If you download this sampler and create a page, just let me know and i might just post it here for others to see.
Here they are. I was able to release 4 sets of presets to create wonderful felt textures using PSP. No more looking at Photoshop Styles and wishing we can use them. WE HAVE THE SAME. Of course, you cannot go and download PS Styles and use them as is, but I will try to provide you with some of them, as designers allow.
Check out what is available.
They can be purchased at any of my stores and they are on sale over the weekend.

And if you want a chance to win one of those sets, hop over to DST, in this thread and add your name.
So, what do you think of this texture? As a way for you to check what they look like, I have those 4 flowers and 4 centers that you can mix and match.
They are all done with some of the felt presets that will be released tomorrow, but this is available today!
Thanks to Wetfish Designs for allowing me to convert her felt styles into PSP presets.
Let me know what you think of it and if you are a PSP user, check back tomorrow!
You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page. And if you use them, I would LOVE to see how you use them.
Have you ever seen some of those awsome styles for Photoshop but could not use them because you are a PSP user?
I know i have. But i always thought that PSP could simulate those "styles", somehow. It was just a matter of time until someone would try and find out. Well, I know *I* tried. Lucky for me, I succeeded, somehow, at least with some styles.
This week, i will be releasing some "style-like presets" for PSP. This is just a sneak peak of one set. What do you think?
Keep checking as Friday should be the day of the release.
With all the focus on quality control of products in the store, this script can be a real time saver and maybe a business saver too.
This little program will not turn a bad product into a good one (i wish) but it will help with the Quality Control. In fact, it will perform several tasks for you:
1- it will check for any excess space around a png element. If there is some, it will trim it.
2- it will check for the resolution of all the png and jpg files. If the resolution is under 300 dpi, it will correct it for you.
3- it will check for gif files. Knowing that some customers are annoyed with extra blinkies that add files and weight, store owners might want to check if they are included or not. The script will not do anything to the files, but will at least let you know.
4- it will generate a QualityCheck.txt file for you that will be a report of all the files checked, whether they were ok or if they needed changes. This report can be useful to document the feedback you will give the designers. It will give you how much trimming was needed, or what was the incorrect initial resolution. That might help troubleshoot some recurring problems with some elements.
You can use this script on a single image, open in PSP, or you can use the batch process mode to check a whole folder at once.
This script is available at Creation Cassel,
One store owner tested this script, and here is what she said:
Excellent tool for all digital scrapbooking store owners, quality check team and even designers. In a few minutes you can have all checked and sure about is under the quality standards! Brilliant! Marta Pavluk , designer and store owner
This script will convert ANY solid shape into a tulle lace. As usual with my scripts, you are given many choices to create that tulle. You get 3 sizes for the edge (or no edge at all), 5 sizes for the mesh, 4 choices of colors (including 2 greys to colorise later), then you also have the choice of the default texture or your own. All in all, that makes for a pretty versatile script, dont you think?
Now what could you use this script for? create a frame, make a mat, copy a cutout shape, draw a star, butterfly wings, hearts, etc.
Get this script at any of my stores:
