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!

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 picture tubes – Two-Tone Chains 2

by

After several years, I just released another set of two-tone chain picture tubes. As usual, you can use those tubes and place them freely with your cursor or place them evenly with the VectorTube script.

Create frames, lose chains, alphabets, and more.

New script – Alpha-tags #4

by

Give your titles and captions a fresh, playful look with tab-style labels made in just a few clicks. Pick a base color for the whole set, add one or more accent colors (texture optional), choose any font and text color, then select a side detail—lines, dots, or arrows. The script keeps everything tidy by auto-sizing wide or tall characters, and you can decide whether the letters stay perfectly aligned or get a subtle hand-placed wobble.

Generate full alphabets, numbers, short words, and matching blank tabs you can type on later. It’s quick, consistent, and perfect for pages, pocket cards, and photo labels.

New script – Stitched Edges #3

by

Although you can add a serged edge on any shape (with the Stitched Edges #1), you can now add a blanket stitch around your elements. Starting with a vector shape, you can choose to have long or short stitches and you can pick any color for the thread. The end result is left on unmerged layers so you can tweak that thread color by changing the blend mode as needed.

You can also add custom textures or puffiness to the element if you want, but it is optional.

For a sampler, I created some basic set of digits that are stitched for you. Each digit is about 500 pixels high so you can resize them as needed.

New script – Tartan #1

by

Tartan 1 brings the cozy feel of classic plaids to your projects, turning any color palette into a seamless, woven tile in seconds. The thread texture gives a realistic plain-weave look—perfect for papers, backgrounds, borders, and photo mats—so your layouts can swing from heritage tartan to modern plaid with just a couple of clicks.

You’re in control of the vibe: choose thin or bold stripes, go traditional 3-color or wilder multicolor, and pick thin & subtle or thick & dense threads for the finish you like. Generate 1–10 tiles at a time, then click to make more with the same settings if you want extra variations without re-picking options.

New script – Sticky Album

by

This Sticky Album effect brings back the look of classic adhesive photo albums, complete with realistic ridges and subtle imperfections. It’s a fun way to add a nostalgic touch to your photos, or to create a unique textured overlay that feels instantly vintage.

You can keep the traditional diagonal ridges or go for creative horizontal or vertical variations. For even more impact, try using colored ridges to add a playful twist, or adjust opacity and blend modes to make the effect as subtle or bold as you like.

For this week's sample, I am sharing a basic 6x4 overlay. You can adjust the opacity and the blend mode to get the result you want based on your own photo (different colors can require different blend modes).

New script – Text Portrait

by

This text portrait effect is great if you have a specific subject you want to showcase, and even better if the original image has odd colors since this effect can be applied to a black and white version. But you can still keep the original color, choose a monochrome effect, or even a gradient. So many possibilities.

Some text overlays are included in the zip file, but you can also choose your own for an even more custom effect.

Since I cannot make a sampler from this scripts because it would be based on your own photo, I figured you might be able to showcase something for this time of year: first day of school. Do you have photos of your children, grandchildren or other children in your life? You can use one of those datestamp for all those elementary grades.

New script – Scallop Pattern 6

by

Although you can create scallop patterns using a set number of solid colors or gradients, this script will let you generate a unique “shell-like” scallop design with up to three different colors in one pattern. You choose the colors, and the script will automatically create a perfectly seamless tile in just a few clicks.

You can run the script as many times as you want, using different color combinations each time, to build a whole library of patterns for your projects.

Once your page is filled with the seamless tiles, you can apply various effects to make the design sharper, more textured, or more subtle.

New script – Masonry – Bricks

Looking for a unique way to turn your titles or elements into something bold and textured? The Masonry – Bricks script lets you convert any shape—raster or vector—into a brick-style element with realistic texture and uneven edges.

You can choose from 15 different combinations of patterns and colors, so every result is a little different. Use it to create custom alphas, decorative accents, photo frames, or even full word art pieces that look like they were built from brick or stone.

New script – Datestamp#14

by

Looking for a bold and stylish way to frame your words or photos? The Datestamp #14 script gives you a fun design that’s perfect for highlighting a name, a message, or even a full photo!

This script creates a classic rectangular frame with a slanted banner across the middle, letting you showcase your main text front and center. You get to pick the font, color, and wording for that banner — so it’s fully customized to your project.

Want to dress up the corners too? You’ll have plenty of options! Choose to add icons (like hearts, planes, or graduation caps), short messages, or even fill the corners with a color or pattern. You can leave them empty as well, or use your own brushes or photos to personalize it even further.

This design works beautifully for cards, titles, tags, or photo labels. Use it to create custom greetings, mark a special trip or event, or label a pet or loved one in a layout. It’s super flexible — and super fun!
