New brushes – Punches C

Punches can add character to any tag, frame, or paper. After the first two sets, this will add 10 more designs you can use to cut out some designs in the middle or the edges of any element.

Use the default settings to create the cutout as long as you want by using the Shift key.

You can also use them as simple brushes to imprint like "typical brushes" do.

For a sample, I created three cutout strips of papers. You can use them as bookmark, but also as strips to add a title, or in a cluster. They are all in greyscale so you can colorize them to suit your project.

New Brushes – Punches B

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.

New brushes – Edge Punches B

Edge punches for PaintShop ProIn paper crafting, punches are popular to create a decorative edge on papers, frames, photos, etc. With PaintShop Pro, you can create a similar effect by using the Eraser tool with special brush tips.

New Brushes – School Punches

School themed punches for PaintShop ProSeptember is often the time for back to school, whether we have young kids, older teenagers, or grandkids in that age group. Or maybe it can also be a grown-up going back to school!

These punches are perfect with the Eraser tool, and you can also use them as brushes, to add some details in a contrasting color.

You get 12 designs for corners, and 12 matching edges. In addition, you get individual elements in brush format so you can use them on their own.

School frame in png formatFor a sample, I created a simple frame that is 3600x3600 pixels. You can use it full-size to frame a whole page or you can size it down to fit a smaller photo. I am also including a frame made of wood that is slightly smaller.

New Brushes – Flower Corners

In traditional paper scrapbooking, punches are available in a wide variety of shapes and designs, but in digital scrapbooking, those tools are inexistent. However, if you use the Eraser tool with these brush tips, it will do the same thing and you will get a great effect.

This set includes 10 different flower corner designs. If you use the Eraser tool, it will punch the designs, however, you can also use them simply as brush imprints for a totally different look.

In order to align the corner perfectly, use guides placed as 0 position horizontally and vertically.

For a sampler, I created this delicate frame. It is in black but you know how you can colorize or paint it to suit your project. If you don't know, follow the instructions in this tutorial. It illustrates the same technique as to paint wordarts which are typically black too.
