New script – Knot #18

by

Do you ever struggle to make ribbons look natural when tying them digitally? This new script will take care of that for you! Whether you choose one, two, or three ribbons, the script will automatically prepare them and tie them into a lovely triple knot.

Each time you run the script, you’ll get a slightly different result — the tails will angle differently, the ribbon segments will vary, and the knot itself will be randomly picked from your chosen ribbons. You can create endless unique bows without having to manually crop, resize, or align anything!

Want a chance to win this script? Add a comment on this Facebook post telling us just something about this triple knot (Remember, comments count — not Likes!). A winner will be announced in next week’s newsletter. Not subscribed yet? Sign up here — it’s free, and we only send one email per week.

For a sampler, I ran the script with one, two, and three greyscale ribbons. The result is left in unmerged layers so you can colorize them separately as needed for your project.

New script – Bow #26

Turn a straight ribbon into a simple bow and you can even add an accent ribbon too. You can use a matching ribbon or a contrasting one. You can even use some lace ribbons.

Everything is left on unmerged layers so you can tweak them further if you want.

And you can attach this bow to the matching ribbon for a fun result.

Although most bow scripts in the store are suitable for translucent or lacy ribbons, this one is not, at least, not for the whole bow. However, you can use an opaque ribbon for the knot and it will allow you to use that translucent ribbon on the loops. With the same script, you can also use a different ribbon for the knot, whether it is matching or contrasting.

You have lots of options to tweak the bow once it is completed by the script.

For a sampler, I am offering you the three bows from the preview: one with a single opaque ribbon, one with a translucent ribbon (and opaque knot) and one with two different opaque ribbons. These ribbons are in PNG format so you can use them in most graphic programs.

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).

For a sample, I created three bows that would be suitable for Valentine Day's projects. I used various straight ribbons and colorized them to get that traditional red color for the occasion. Each bow is in PNG format.

New script – Bow #23

If you want some variety in your supplies but still want something to match what you currently have, this is another script to create a bow from a straight ribbon.

If your ribbon is thicker than 175 pixels, the script will resize it to create the bow, however, if your ribbon is between 100 and 175 pixels, it will just create a smaller bow.

All the layers are left unmerged so you can tweak them as needed or insert something in the knot.

For a sample, I used some ribbon templates from Marisa Lerin and colored them with some autumn colors. The freebie includes the three bows but also the matching straight ribbon I created for them so you can even use them with other scripts to create other types of bows and knots.

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.

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 – Bow #22

This script will create a double bow out of a single thin ribbon. Although you can have the same ribbon for all the loops, you can also colorize the inside loops and tails to give the impression of using different ribbons.

Even more, you can let the script group the layers for the inside bow, and then copy and paste the whole group into another bow made with the same script, and you would end up with completely different ribbons in your bow.

For a sample, I used two ribbons from Janet Kemp (you can get them HERE) and colorized them three times. I then combined the inside loops from the solid-colored bows and inserted them into the floral bows.

New script – Bow #21

Bow script for PaintShop ProBows are very versatile elements to use to decorate any project. From large bows to little ones, from single bows, to double or multiple, you have lots of options.

This script will create a simple bow from any straight ribbon that is at least 185 pixels thick. This way, you can match a straight ribbon used on the project.

Ribbons and matching bows in PNG formatFor a sampler, I created four bows from four colorized ribbons in an Easter color palette. I used a ribbon from Marisa Lerin and colorized it four times, then ran the script four times. You get the bows AND the matching ribbons so you can combine them into a single project if you want.

Bow script for PaintShop ProA simple bow might be all you need for your project, but how do you find the correct one? Using a ready-made bow and colorizing it might work but might also be a lot of work.

This script will use any straight ribbon and cut random pieces from it to create the bow. This means that even using the same starting ribbon, you will have different results.

In the center, you can let the script use the ribbon for the knot or choose a solid color for a contrasting effect.

Bows in png formatFor a sample, I created three straight polkadot ribbons with holiday colors and ran the script to generate three matching bows. The straight ribbons are also included in the zip file so you can use them separately.

New script – Bow #19

by

Bow script for PaintShop ProUsing bows and knots can be quite versatile as long as you have variety. This is the 19th type of bow in the store (and we have knots too) so using your own straight ribbon, you will have the option to create some matching bows. The script uses a random location on the ribbon so if you run the script multiple times on a patterned ribbon, you will get different results.

If you don't have a straight ribbon to use, the script can generate one for you with your choice of color, gradient or pattern.

Little bows in colors in PNG formatAs a sampler, I created six little bows using ribbons from Janet Kemp. I layered a grosgrain ribbon with lace and flattened both. Then, I ran the script. I then ran the script on the grosgrain ribbon alone (without the lace), and since the layers were not merged, I copied and pasted the knot part only to replace the one on the "lacy" bow. It is a little more work but it shows how versatile this script can be with unmerged layers.
