New script – Broken

by

Although it is easy enough to create a broken effect on text, it can be tedious and not as interesting when you need to do it randomly. The script will do all the work for you in just a few seconds. If you don't like the result, run it again as you will get a different result every time.

The end result will be on unmerged layers, so you can rearrange them if you want, but they will also be grouped to make it easy for you to copy and paste onto your next project while maintaining the layers.

For a sample, I created four words that were run through that script. All four words are "accident-related" and in greyscale for you to color. They are in PNG format, so you can use them in a variety of programs.

New script – Scribbles 3

by

Scribbled designs can be associated with kids' projects, back-to-school themes, and most. You can turn any shape, letter, or digit into a scribbled design. You also have many options to create different types of scribbles. You can choose the density, the outline, the color. Furthermore, there is randomness in various settings so you will always get a slightly different result every time you run the script, even with the same chosen options.

New script – Photo Corners

by

Photo corners are probably one of the most traditional ways to fasten a photo to a page. With the digital era, those fasteners were not long NEEDED,  but we can still pretend we use them.

They are fairly easy to make but using a script will speed up the process and allow you to generate several sets (yes, with four corners) very quickly. Use any color palette and the script will combine the colors, the shapes, and the designs for those corners.

Keep the ones you like and discard the others.

For a sampler, I used the color palette from the June bog train on DigitalScrapbook.com. You get 6 sets of corners. They are available in .PspImage format (where the four corners are on separate layers) and in PNG format (where you will have to cut them out separately).

Check out the other resources available in this blog train.

New script – Argyle 2

by

Argyle patterns might be simple to create but if you want a series of tiles matching a color palette, it becomes tedious. This script will generate up to 10 tiles starting with your choice of color palette, and a few more options. It will create those tiles for you in just a few seconds. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

New Picture Tubes – Braid 2

by

These braids combine a white section and a colored section. You get 12 different colors. Each braid is slightly different and not just  colorized versions of a single image.

Draw however you want since the design will follow your cursor movement. Create trims around images, tags, or text. Make them straight or curved, or even looped.

New script – Keyboard alpha

by

You can now create your own alpha from keyboard keys. You can have thick keys or thin ones, depending on your preferences.

The script will create as many keys as you need to write a word, a phrase, or a whole alphabet. Choose the colors, the font, the placement on the key, and let the script work while you watch or go for a coffee.

New script – Watermelon

by

For any summer theme, you can create watermelon slices in any shape you want. How often have you seen a watermelon slice in a heart shape, or an arrow shape?

Now, you can have as many as you want and they will all be slightly different, just like a "real" watermelon slice.

New script – Gradient Dimension

by

You might be familiar with the Dimension script where one could add an even thickness, in whatever color you wanted. This time around, the thickness would follow a gradient, whether it is already made, or based on two or three colors you will choose.

The script will create up to 100 layers following the chosen gradient, to give a unique effect to any shape.

You can start with a vector or a raster layer. It will work well either way.

New script – Photo Zigzag

by

It is always interesting to use an actual photo and use it to create background papers since they will perfectly match.

This script will use random sections of the photo and create seamless tiles with a zigzag pattern. You can use those tiles in any scale you want to fill any larger canvas. You can generate up to 20 tiles in one run. Keep the tiles you like and discard the others.

As a sampler, I used this St-Patrick photo to generate 6 seamless tiles. All the tiles are 400 pixels wide but of different lengths. They all show some greens but also the white and orange from the Irish flag. This is perfect for you St-Patrick projects. If you find the colors too bright, you can blur them or desaturate them to suit your projects.

New Brushes – Punches B

by

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 diamonds and squares.

As a sample, I created a set of greyscale bookmarks with a central cutout and one with cutouts on the ends. One has a heart shape punched out, while the others are 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.
