This set of brushes will allow you to paint or cut intricate designs in the middle of a paper (or a photo). Create cutouts away from the edges and corners.
You can also use the UNerase function to re-add paper where the punches would otherwise remove it. You can then customize the designs even further.
You get 10 different designs, mostly using circles and curves.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how you would use these cutouts (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).
As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout. One has the year 2023 cut out of it, while the other is blank for you to add anything else you want. The design can even be cut from actual paper/cardstock using a cutting machine. You can colorize these strips any way you want. Each "bookmark" is 600x3000 pixels long and can also be used as an element on your next project.

Another script will allow you to create a variety of decorated beads. This time, the beads will be a slightly different shape than the previous scripts. Furthermore, you can create monochrome beads in addition to the duotone ones. Different rotations will be associated with the correct bevel and shadows to give a more realistic effect.
For a sampler, I used the same color palette as for the previous freebies for the Beads Maker 1 and the Beads Maker 2. This way, you will have a total of 45 matching beads to play with and create a variety of elements.
Gradients can be really helpful to create unique patterns, but in order to make such a tile, you have to create a new gradient every time. That is tedious and a lot of work since you might not need those gradients afterward.
For a sample, I used the color palette from the DigitalScrapbook July 2023 blog train, and generated 16 different tiles. Each tile is 400x400 pixels in jpg format so you should be able to use them in most graphic programs.
There are so many ways to add a date, a name, a location, or a short phrase to a project. This script will let you choose a main word/date to place in the center, with your choice of font. In addition, you can select the words to add in the top and bottom corners.
As a sampler, I created a set of "blank" datestamps with the days of the week. You can add whatever you want in the center area. Since they are all in greyscale, you can colorize them however you want.
It can be fun to display photos on a string, and in digital projects, it is just as easy, although it can be tedious to resize, move, rotate and attach all the photos on one image. That is why I coded this script.
As a sampler, I created this layered template where you can display 10 photos of your choice. The template is in .pspimage format and you simply have to put the photos into the individual mask groups.
It might be easy to create a swatch palette in PaintShop Pro, but if you are starting with a large number of colors, it can be tedious. And referring to the same image whenever you are working on a project can also be annoying.
As a sampler, I used the color palettes for the next three blog trains in the DigitalScrapbook.com forum and converted them into palettes you can simply add to your PSP. Two versions of the palettes are available: one for versions 9-X6 (identified with V9 in the name) and one for versions X7 and up (identified with VX7 in the name). Unzip the ones you need for your version and save the files (or the whole folder for versions X7 and up) in the Swatches folder of your PSP. Since they are different for different versions, don't put everything in the same place, if you have earlier and older versions of PSP referring to the same content folder. If needed, simply put them in the default folders, in Documents.
You can use individual stips of "papers" in different colors to showcase quotes, phrases, or individual lines of a poem but doing that manually is time-consuming and tedious. And adding extra details means that you have to repeat the process for each strip, one by one.
For a sample, I created phrase strips on the Birthday theme, using the color palette for the May blog train at DigitalScrapbook.com. This way, you can go on this thread, and get other goodies that will match.
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.
For a sample, I used two ribbons from Janet Kemp (you can get them 
Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.
For a freebie, I used some cute animal cliparts and converted them into diamond paintings. Each one is fairly large so you can size them down as needed.
You can create gold and silver chains with various picture tubes available in the store, and now, you can add colored pearls to your jewelry box.
For a sampler, I created a set of digits using the red pearls. Each digit is about 550 pixels high, so you can resize them as needed.
