New script – Petal Pattern

November 24, 2023 by Cassel

It might be a design of the past, but sometimes, the past comes back into fashion. You can create this design manually, but it is tedious. You can use a template, but it is still tedious to change the colors especially if you want more variety.

This script will use up to 8 colors and randomly create up to 20 tiles that can then be used to fill a larger image, whether you want to create a background paper, a frame, a mat, or anything else.

In order to win this product, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us another pattern you would like to see into a script (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sample, I chose the color palette from the Digital Scrapbook November blog train and generated six fun designs that you can use as seamless patterns. They are in png format, and have no background so you can add whatever color you want behind it.

New script – Foliage

April 9, 2021 by Cassel

Foliage script for PaintShop Pro It can be fun to turn various shapes into foliage or flowery bushes. This can be particularly suitable for garden-themed projects, whether it is a scrapbook page, a poster, or a card to someone with a green thumb.

This script will offer you five options for that vegetation texture: one is just foliage while the other four include flowery bushes.

Hesperis flower alpha This week, as a sample, I am offering you a full alphabet using the Hesperis flowers. Each character is about 700 pixels in height so you have plenty of room to resize them to suit your project.

New script – Ribbon Flower

October 24, 2020 by Cassel

Ribbon flower script for PaintShop Pro There are multiple flowers made of ribbon that you can get online. Most of them are likely real ribbon flowers that were photographed and extracted. However, sometimes, you might want to have a flower that perfectly matches a ribbon you already have. How can you get such a flower?

This script will use your own straight ribbons and will turn them into a ribbon flower. You can use a single ribbon for all the petals, but you also have the option to use multiple ribbons to make different rows of petals.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us whether you would prefer to use a single ribbon for a flower or multiple ribbons (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

Ribbon Flower in png format As a sampler, I created three flowers from two Holiday colored ribbons. So you get two monochrome flowers and one with both colors.

New script – Paper Flower

February 13, 2017May 23, 2015 by Cassel

cass-PaperFlower If you were to create your own flower, out of papers from a kit, how would you do it? You might choose to cut out one petal and simply duplicate it multiple times and rotate them around the center. But you know what? This looks "amateurish" because a real flower made of paper would NOT have 100% identical petals, would it? You would see some variations in the texture, the shading or the pattern.

This script will give you a much more realistic look because each petal will be cut from a different location on the paper, as if you were to cut out from a real paper with scissors.

You can choose any paper you have, whether it is a solid, a patterned, or a gradient paper. Any texture would work and it would even give that slight variation on each petal.

You can choose to have 1, 2, 3 or 4 rows of petals, using the same paper or different papers, or a combination of papers. Each petal will have a slight shadow to give some depth but still allow you to add other shadows to create a lifted effect if you want as each of them is also left on a separate layer.

Add any center you want, from one of the paper, or from another element like a button, a gem, etc.

Grab this script in the store: Paper Flower.

If you want to get this script for free (or another one if you already bought it), tell me how many rows you would prefer to have when creating a flower. Add your answer to the comments below and i'll draw for a winner that will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem.

cass-PaperFlower-Sample-Pink As a sample, i created a fun pink flower for you.

As a paper, i simply opened a blank image and flood filled it with a pink felt tile i had (from the Felt presets #1). I used that "paper" for the first row of petals.

For the second row, i chose the option of NOT using the same paper, so i duplicated the paper i had, tweaked it to get a brighter color and ran the script as if it were a new paper.

Once the second row of petal was done, i added a shadow to each petal, every time, on a separate layer then, tweaked it to create a lifted effect, on the smaller petals.

Finally, to make the row look better, i selected one part of the top petal and using the Interlacing technique, moved that half petal under the bottom one (i bet you can't see that cut, can you?)

For the center, i created a pink gem using the Gemstone script.

New font – Petals

January 20, 2021November 30, 2012 by Cassel

Your program probably has some kind of vector flower shapes. How many? It depends on your program. But with this new font (yes, it is a FONT), you can create so many more designs.

This font includes 50 different petal shapes: some are similar but in different width so they make a great match to use in combination. Since they are fonts, you can use them around a vector circle as they will go just like a “text on path”.

Use any size you want since they are vector and they wont pixelate; you will always have smooth edges no matter how big you create the flowers.

But flowers are not the only thing you can use these for: create frames and borders. Repeat the same shape or alternate two or more. Choose any color or gradient or pattern, or “clip” a paper on them for a really matching element to your project.

That is not all. Do you own a cutting machine? you can create some gorgeous quilled flowers using a straight line of petals, cut them with the machine and then tightly roll them. Look at the fantastic result Connie got with this:

In fact, it was Connie who gave me the idea of this petal font. She initially used the Lace Edge font to create some quilled flowers. The number of designs was much more limited for this purpose so when she sent me the first sample, she said “it would be nice if you had other shapes”. And here we are now with a full set of 50 different petal shapes. Of course, not all the shapes are suitable for quilling, but they can be used to create vector flowers.

And But this is not all: since this is a FONT, it is not program specific. This means that, unlike most products in my store, you don’t have to have Paintshop Pro to use this font. You can use just about any graphic program including Photoshop and Photoshop Element. I didn’t try other programs, but i assume they would also work fine.

You can grab this FONT in my store: Creation Cassel.

cass-Petals1-sample And as usual, i have a random draw where you can win this product. Head over to this thread in the DST forum, and tell me what program you are using (since this font works in most of them). I will be back on Monday with the name of a winner.

As a way for you to see this font “at work”, i created three layered flowers using it. They are PSD files so you can use them in PSP or PS or PSE.

For the white petals, i used the letter “d”. For the purple petals, i used the letters “u” and “v” on different layers. And for the yellow petals, i used alternatively the “U” and “W”. You can surely create many many more designs.
