New script – Acrylic buttons

September 10, 2021 by Cassel

Acrylic button script for PaintShop Pro Sometimes, you want some simple buttons to add to your projects. You want a specific color, and don't want to spend too long finding that perfect color in your stash.

This script will create up to 20 buttons in one run based on a color you will choose. The shape will be randomly drawn, so you will have a variety of different buttons. The opacity of the acrylic is also randomly selected. Of course, you can also lower the opacity of the button if you want it more translucent.

New script – Date Button 1

January 12, 2021September 7, 2018 by Cassel

Date button script for PaintShop Pro There are various ways to add a date, but did you ever think of writing it on a button? Why not? They are perfect in size to add small text like a date and with this script, you can customize it with the color, gradient, pattern, text, font or even other designs.

Once the button is done, you can either stick it to your project or add a string made from a picture tube. You could also add a little bow if you have one!

New script – Custom Kit Buttons

January 19, 2021November 2, 2013 by Cassel

A kit is not complete without buttons, right? Creating buttons within a specific palette is fairly easy (there is even a script for it called theButton Machine), but creating individual buttons out of papers for a perfectly matching result is a little more tedious. So i bring you the Custom Kit Buttons script.

This script will allow you to use any vector shape (round, oval, square, rectangle, octagon, etc.) and then choose all the papers you want to use (at once!) and it will create a variety of buttons from those choices of yours.

A single run of the script can yield many similar buttons, but since they are “cut out” from different spots on the papers, you might get some slight variations for each. You can keep them all, or just keep a few and delete the rest.

This script is perfect to help you complete your kit, to complete a layout, or even to create clusters with buttons that will all be matching.

Do you want a chance to win this script for free? Hop over the DST Happy Place thread and add your name to it. I’ll be back next week with the name of a winner.

cass-CustomKitButtons-sampler-AlmostAutumn This week, i used Missy’s kit called Almost Autumn to create a set of 14 octagonal buttons. Then, i tweaked them to add a slight variation in size, brightness and contrast, just to make sure they were not all exactly identical. What do you think of that?

I really could have used any shape but i thought that round or square buttons were a little too “ordinary” and common so i picked a different shape.

What shape would you like buttons to be?

What about the kit i used? You can find it here: Almost Autumn.

Can you imagine all the scripts you can use with a single kit to expand the possibilities? You can create cutout shapes, tapes, buttons, additional papers, and more.

New script–Button machine

January 20, 2021November 9, 2012 by Cassel

Buttons are standard fasteners in many layouts and digital scrapbooking kits. Finding the right color to match a kit or a photo is sometimes a challenge. This script will allow you to create multiple buttons with the color, gradient or pattern of your choice.

When you have a single button and you want to rotate it to make the whole project less “cookie-cut”, you might run into the problem of the bevel and shading no longer matching. With this script, the holes will be randomly rotated but the bevels will always be aligned in the exact same direction.

In addition to generating buttons in 4 different models, the script will also add a slight variation in brightness and contrast and add more unevenness with some shaded spots. This means that even with the same starting color, and the same button model, the buttons will be slightly different.

The script will allow you to generate up to 15 buttons in one run. You can also choose what size you want it in the end. The script works with a starting size of 500 pixels in diameter for better quality, and then you can choose to have each button resized as small as 100 pixels.

You can get this fun button making script in my store at Creation Cassel.

For a chance to win this script, you can go and add your name to the DST thread in the Happy Place, HERE and i will be drawing for a winner on Monday night.

This week, i created a set of 20 buttons (you never have too many buttons, right?) in holiday colors. You can use them as is, or add some personal touches, like glitters. You can use them in a holiday themed layout, but you can surely use them in many other types of layouts. Green goes well with the outdoors, red goes well with Valentine day, yellow goes well with any sunny outside photo and the white would be the most versatile color to use on anything.

New script – Custom Buttons

August 4, 2018July 3, 2009 by Cassel

Create a custom button in seconds. You can choose any shape you want, whether it is from a selection, or a vector shape. Then you can pick any color, gradient or pattern to fill the shape. You can also pick to add an edge if you want. Buttons can have 2 or 4 holes, your choice again. You can even draw a very irregular shape for the button and move the holes to a more logical place than the very center where the script will automatically suggest to place them.

Compatible with versions 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Available at Creation Cassel, Scrapping Whispers, Divine Digital, Scraphead.
