New script – Shape Mosaic

by

Turn any photo into a mosaic of repeated shapes instead of simple squares. Choose from a variety of shapes or even create your own for a completely custom result. Each piece keeps the color of the original image, while the shape pattern defines the overall look.

The transparent gaps lets you easily place any background behind it. Try different colors, gradients, or papers to instantly change the style of your mosaic without running the script again.

New script – Quick Pinking

Add a clean, realistic pinked edge to your papers, photos, and elements with just one click. The Quick Pinking script automatically adjusts the spacing so the zigzag edge fits perfectly every time, with no partial teeth. You can apply the pinking to any single side, two opposite sides, or all four sides. You can then add shadows, stitching, or extra details afterward.

New FONT – Two-Tone Stitch 3

by

Looking for a quick and realistic way to add stitching to your next digital project? The Two-Tone Stitch 3 font set gives you 25 unique stitch styles that you can use in any size, color, or combination! Each design is made with two fonts — one for the bottom thread and one for the top — allowing you to mix and match colors or add shading and bevels for extra dimension.

Whether you're creating scrapbook layouts, greeting cards, printables, or decorative labels, this set gives you full control over how your stitches look — and no two projects will ever look the same!
