You can now create your own alpha from keyboard keys. You can have thick keys or thin ones, depending on your preferences.
The script will create as many keys as you need to write a word, a phrase, or a whole alphabet. Choose the colors, the font, the placement on the key, and let the script work while you watch or go for a coffee.

For a sampler, I created a simple thick green set of keys with white characters on the bottom left (a little unconventional). The alpha includes all the letters, the digits and a hyphen to let you type in dates and more.

You might be familiar with the Dimension script where one could add an even thickness, in whatever color you wanted. This time around, the thickness would follow a gradient, whether it is already made, or based on two or three colors you will choose.
As a sample, I created a full alphabet using a rainbow gradient for the edge. This will be perfect for your spring themed titles and projects.
You can surely create stacks of wooden characters, but it is quite tedious. You have to duplicate each character, and then rotate and move them one by one, then add some thickness AND if you want to add the proper inside shadows, you have to do that on each individual layer.
For a sampler, I created a set of 10 digits, using cherry wood. Each digit is about 500 pixels high in png format.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our first script to create cookies was quite popular, so I decided to bake another batch.
While working on those cookies, I had a craving for some sweets! I created a whole alphabet (A to Z) using graham wafers half dipped in chocolate. I think they look delicious, don't you think? Of course, if you want, you can add some sprinkles too!
Icing with a piping bag can allow anyone to have some interesting or fancy design on a cake or cookies, but it can be also messy and full of calories.
As a sampler, I created some digits with a light chocolate flavor icing. Each digit is about 700 pixels high and in PNG format.
Now, for any type of celebration project, you can add balloons while writing a word, a number, a date or any other message.
For a sampler, I created a complete alpha (uppercase only) of red balloons. Each balloon is about 600 pixels high.
You can create some unique titles and tags using uneven pieces of papers with a cut out letter or digit.
For a free sample, this week, I used one of the newspapers that was used to create the freebie in the Campus (you can get matching pieces 
You can create a sprayed effect on individual letters very quickly.
With this time for back to school in many areas, I created this set of digital using primary colors, in order. Use them to add a year, an anniversary or even to make a border for a back-to-school theme project.
