New script – Inked Edge 2

September 29, 2023 by Cassel

This script will quickly add an inked edge around any element, photo, or shape for you. It will look like a wet/watercolor ink that was added in three runs. The edges will be uneven all over and slightly more opaque on the very edges.

The inked border will be left unmerged from the base shape so you can actually use it separately if you want for a different effect.

In order to win this product, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you do use inked edges in some projects of yours (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).

This week, I created a whole alphabet using the Fatty font in orange color with a brown edge. That would be very suitable for fall or Halloween themes.

New Brushes – Punches A

September 1, 2023 by Cassel

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.

New script – Beads Maker 4

August 25, 2023 by Cassel

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.

You can create up to 15 beads in one run using up to 6 colors. The script will randomly combine those colors. Keep the beads you like and discard the others.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what other shape beads you would like to see (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 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.

New script – Gradient Tiles

July 14, 2023 by Cassel

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.

This script will create various color/gradient combinations to generate up to 20 tiles from your choice of colors. Keep the tiles you want and discard the rest. Use the tiles as fill patterns, changing the scale and the angle to suit your need.

Get it in the store: Gradient Tiles

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever created your own custom gradients before (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 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.

New script – Datestamp 13

June 23, 2023 by Cassel

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.

The end result will be on separate layers so you can change the colors of each section individually if you want.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling me what you might write other than a date in these stamps (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 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.

New script – Hanging Photos 2

June 2, 2023 by Cassel

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.

You can now display as many photos as you want on up to 6 strings. The script will take care of all the tedious and repetitive tasks for you. You will end up with unmerged layers so you can tweak the default arrangement as you wish.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post how you would attach photos on a string (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 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.

New script – Swatch Palette

May 26, 2023 by Cassel

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.

With this script, you can start with any image that includes the colors you want to use, and transfer them into a color palette available inside your PaintShop Pro. And all that, in just a few seconds. No need to pick and choose the colors or worse, have to type in the hex codes.

Get this script in the store: Swatch Palette

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you ever created your own custom palette (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 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.

New script – Phrase Strips

May 12, 2023 by Cassel

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.

This script will save you a lot of time while giving you great flexibility. You can choose up to 10 colors/gradients/patterns to use as a paper background. You can you ANY font, and as many as you want to add variety. You can use any number of phrases. And there are also additional options for you to choose from.

Generate a ton of strips. Keep the ones you like and discard the rest.

Get it in the store: Phrase Strips

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever used phrases on paper strips in a previous project (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 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.

New script – Bow #22

May 5, 2023 by Cassel

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.

Even more, you can let the script group the layers for the inside bow, and then copy and paste the whole group into another bow made with the same script, and you would end up with completely different ribbons in your bow.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us how many bow scripts you already have (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 used two ribbons from Janet Kemp (you can get them HERE) and colorized them three times. I then combined the inside loops from the solid-colored bows and inserted them into the floral bows.

New script – Diamond Painting

April 28, 2023 by Cassel

Diamond painting offers a way to turn an "ordinary" image into something magical and shimmering. It is a long and tedious process.

The script will convert any image (or design) into a diamond painting. Of course, you won't have the physical texture to play with but it will only take you a few seconds to complete.

The zip file also includes picture tubes for the individual "drills" in case you want to add some in other locations.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us if you have ever done diamond painting (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 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.
