New script – Dimension

August 4, 2018June 24, 2011 by Cassel

How would you like to add some depth to any shape you want with Paintshop Pro? No need for a filter or outside tool: this script will give you many options so you can create a 3D element starting with any shape. You can use any shape, drawing, letter, words, in just about any size although tiny shapes will not work well. You will get 5 options for the edge color: the same color as the top, a lighter shade, a darker shade, a greyscale version or a totally different color. One particularity of this script is that it will give a “shaded” look on the edges, changing them slightly depending on how they face an imaginary light on the top left of the element (if your layout implies a light coming from a different source, just mirror or flip the element to match).

You can add a thickness as small as 10 pixels or as large as 100 pixels, and you can also have the extrusion in 8 different directions.

You can use this script to create many different elements, alphas, wordarts, and probably more.

Grab this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

Try running the script several times on the same shape, with different colors or different thickness. It can look like a layered jello or an ice cream sandwich! Or how about running it several times with different directions or alternating left and right and left and right!

If you want to give other suggestions for using this script, you will get a chance to win it. Just post in this thread at the DST forum.

And how about this layered set of digits made using this script? With the blue, white and red, it can certainly match any American celebrations (July 4th) or our French cousins (July 14th) or Acadian friends (August 15th). This script will give you so many possibilities!

New script – Alpha Layer Stacker

August 4, 2018June 16, 2011 by Cassel

Last week, I released a script that would take layered alpha and create title or text in just a few seconds, but creating a layered alpha was still a tedious task you had to do by hand, especially if you had an alpha in individual files. Now, this script will do that tedious work for you. This script will retrieve all the similar files in a folder you will indicate and all the files will be layered. Since you will be asked to name each layer as it is created (either with a lowercase, an uppercase, a digit or a symbol), you will be certain that the Text Creator script will now work in just a few seconds. Once you have your layered alpha, simply save it in psp or psd format.

Designers, you might want to offer your alphas in single sheet, individual files, and now, in layered format. The PSP users will thank you for that!

You can get this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

As usual, there is one way you can enter a draw to win this script. Check out the RAK thread here, in the DST forum and simply add your name there, and answer the little question.

This weekend, it is Father’s Day on this side of the Atlantic. I dont know about other countries, in Europe or in Australia. But if it is not the time to celebrate Father’s Day, you can still get ready for next time you want to thank a man in your life for what he brought. This layered “album” can be used to create a hybrid photo album, or, if only printed, cut out and glued on cardboard, it can make a great card where all the children or other people touched by that special man can write good wishes, kids can stamp their hand or doodle for a great memorabilia. The album is about 12 inches long on separate layers (you surely can resize if you want a smaller version).

As i am developing more and more content in the Campus for scrapbookers and PSP users, i want YOUR opinion on what you feel is really important for a “course” or a Campus. Please, go over this survey and answer the 3 short questions. I already got some great suggestions that i will implement so maybe your idea will be done too, who knows? If you have any PSP friends, share the link with them. More answers and suggestions will help get a better Campus for you.

New script – Layered Pyramid

February 26, 2017April 8, 2011 by Cassel

Are you into hybrid projects? This script will be perfect for you to speed up the process. It will create a various number of layers in the shape you want, and centered or off-centered, focussing on an element of your photo.

You will have many options to choose from: the number of layers, the shape, the centering, the shadow, the placement of the off-centered layer. You can use the script on any photo and use it on a digital layout, like any other scrapbooking project, or print the layers separately and then cut them one by one to create a hybrid montage.

You can get this script in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

Here is a card that was made by ooh-la-la-creation using this script. Isn’t this great?

If you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum, and tell me if you ever made a hybrid project with your digi supplies.

And how about a little freebie? I created this layered template loosely based on the card made above. It is a layered template in PSD format so most graphic program can open it. It is 5x7 in size.

New Tubes – Spiral Binding

August 4, 2018March 25, 2011 by Cassel

This week, I am proposing you a brand new set of tubes for PaintShop Pro. These tubes allow you to create any kind of spiral bound books. They are detailed extractions of actual plastic spiral bindings in different colors (not colorized), and then cut specifically to be placed perfectly along the edge of a book. This week, you can get 4 complete sets of bindings: white, black, red and gold. You also get a tube for side binding, and a tube for central binding. Since shading a spiral binding is a little tricky, you get one set shadowed, and one set unshadowed. And what is a spiral binding without matching holes? That is why you also get a hole template tube, for side binding and for central binding. Basically, you get everything you need to place a custom binding on your work. To make sure that your spiral is perfectly straight, just click on the start, hold the SHIFT key, and click at the end of the line, guiding yourself on the ruler to be sure you are getting a vertical alignment and not angled. These tubes should be very useful in your digiscrap layout, to create some interesting layers, maybe for journaling, maybe to display some pictures!

You can find this set of spiral binding tubes in either one of my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScrapWarehouse.

If you want a chance to win this set of tubes, you can check this thread in the Happy Place of the DST forum. Tell me which one of the four colors you prefer and i will announce a winner on Monday. If you are not a Paintshop Pro user, obviously, you cannot use those tubes as is, but i will let you participate anyways; if you win, i will create a png image of spirals for you to use.

I am sure you are just waiting for the free sample of the week too! So here it is. I created this notebook using the black plastic spirals. It is approximately 3”x5” and in PNG format so anyone can use it. Maybe you can write a little love note on it?

New script – Twister

August 4, 2018March 18, 2011 by Cassel

Do you sometimes find a template and would like to give it a funky look? Or have the various letters in a title placed not exactly even? Then you are in luck. This script for Paintshop Pro will let you do just that. You will be able to look at any template and add a “funky” version to your digital scrapbooking supplies.

If you want to keep some layers untouched, you simply have to hide that layer and the script will skip it. You get to choose if you want a little bit of rotation or more, and if you want a little distortion or more.

You can find this script in my stores: Creation Cassel and DigiScapWarehouse.

And if you want a chance to win this script, check this thread at the DST forum. Tell me if you ever used a “funky” looking template or if you would like to use one some day. I will come back on Monday to announce the winner.

And as a sample of what this script can do, you can grab this free layered template. It is a funky looking template for the month of April. All the boxes are still there (some are hidden so you can use the template for other months). The boxes on the top row, that would be used for the days initial, are linked together so you can move them separately from the others, and all the 35 other boxes are also linked so you can move the whole set of boxes somewhere else on the page.
